These 6 characters would make a perfect addition to NetEase Games’s Marvel Rivals roster in future updates.
Marvel Rivals, NetEase Games’ ambitious 6v6 team-based hero shooter, was released recently. The free-to-play hero shooter came with a vast roster of 33 characters, each designed with their own unique powers and abilities. As a result, players are enjoying the game, and they would be delighted to see more characters added to the title.
It is clear that NetEase Games plans to expand the roster and introduce new characters in future updates, and some of these upcoming characters are already leaked on the internet. However, this listicle will not focus on the leaked characters. Instead, let’s highlight some iconic Marvel characters whose presence would take the excitement of Marvel Rivals to the next level.
1) Deadpool
Starting the list with one of the most popular Marvel characters of recent times, Deadpool. Most fans are disappointed to learn that Deadpool is not a part of the official launch roster. However, fans have noticed an easter egg referencing the character on the Shin-Shibuya map. Discussions and debates about adding Deadpool to Marvel Rivals are still continuing among the fans.
Deadpool, commonly referred to as the Merc with a Mouth, is a fan-favorite character, and the craze around him spiked after the colossal hit of the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. This makes it obvious that Deadpool would be a great addition to the Marvel Rivals, mostly suited as a duelist.
2) Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider is another fan-favorite character of Marvel fans. Although there haven’t been recent movies featuring him, the obsession with the Ghost Rider has never waned. Additionally, in the recent game Marvel’s Midnight Suns, he was portrayed as one of the strongest characters, which opens up the possibility of being added to the Marvel Rivals.
Possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny Blaze transforms into a fiery demon. As one of the strongest characters of Marvel, introducing him to NetEase Games’s shooter would make him one of the top-tier choices in the game. Ghost Rider would likely fit into a duelist role, unleashing devastating fire-based attacks and effects on enemies with his chains.
3) Thanos
Our next pick is Thanos, the Mad Titan. Despite being a villain, he has a fan base that rivals superheroes. He would be an ideal fit for a Vanguard, utilizing his bulky physique to tank opponents’ attacks.
Bringing him with his infinite stones and gauntlets would make the gameplay more complex, as the stones would make him overpowered. Thanos’ presence would undoubtedly excite the fans with his iconic raw power and endurance.
4) Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel would be another great choice for expanding the roster. Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, is one of the most powerful heroes of the Marvel universe.
Fans were disappointed not to see her in the launch roster. With her immense and cosmic powers, she fits as a duelist perfectly. As a key member of the Avengers, she is one of the most speculated upcoming additions to Marvel Rivals.
5) Green Goblin
Norman Osborn, notoriously known as the Green Goblin, is one of Marvel’s iconic villains. Being an extraordinary mastermind, he will be a good fit for the Strategist’s role.
The evil strategist surfs through the skies with his Goblin Glider and throws Pumpkin Bombs to stun or debuff enemies. Watching him fighting his arch-enemy Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals would be an iconic moment and brings up nostalgic memories.
6) Doctor Doom
Doctor Doom, a key antagonist in the upcoming Avengers movie, has sparked a lot of hype after the announcement of the iconic Robert Downey Jr. taking on the role. Although Doctor Doom is referenced in the Marvel Rivals ‘No One Rivals Doom’ trailer and Season 0 ‘Doom’s Rise,’ it has not been officially confirmed if he will be a playable character.
Additionally, Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 titled Absolute Doom highlights Doctor Doom, which hints that he will likely enter soon in Marvel Rivals. This egotistical and maniacal mastermind would likely play a Strategist role. However, there may be chances that he will turn up as a Duelist.
