Charles Xavier, or Professor X, is one of the most powerful telepaths in Marvel Comics and the founder of the X-Men. He envisions peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants and leads his team to protect both from threats. As the strategic leader of the X-Men, his abilities emphasize control and support on the battlefield. While it is unclear how his movement would work, it will undoubtedly be exciting to see him join the roster. His leaked abilities are:

  • X-Men Collection
  • Potential Stimulation
  • Mind Projection

Jia Jing

Jia Jing, also known as Sprite, is a Chinese mutant with blue skin and insect-like wings, officially classified as a fairy insectoid. While the character is relatively obscure, her arrival in Marvel Rivals is sure to expose more people to her. Her abilities, according to the leak, are:

  • Fairy Wings
  • Fairy Healing: Given her second ability has healing capabilities, Jia Jing is most likely a Strategist Class hero.

Paste-Pot Pete

Paste-Pot Pete, also known as Trapster, is a supervillain from the Fantastic Four franchise. Being one of the first supervillains to be active in Marvel Comics, Paste-Pot Pete is a beloved deep cut for any comic lover.

  • Sticky Bomb
  • Glue Lasso

Colossus is a loyal X-Men member and a Russian mutant who can transform his body into organic steel. With an exterior of steel and a heart of gold, Colossus serves as the heart of the X-Men and can be an incredibly useful asset on the battlefield. His abilities are:

  • Giant Punch
  • Steel Colossus Considering his massive form in both comics and movies, Colossus would most likely be a Vanguard Class tank hero.

Locus

Locus is a mutant villainess with the ability to teleport herself and others to any location they have previously visited. With characters like Magik and Doctor Strange already putting portals and teleportation to use, Locus should fit right in with the rest of the roster. Her abilities are:

  • Unstable Structure
  • Stable Structure
  • Energy Lock

Beast

Beast is a founding member of the X-Men, and he is known for his superhuman strength and genius-level intellect.

Kurt Wagner, better known as Nightcrawler, is a blue-skinned mutant with a strong tail and the ability to teleport. Much like Locus, Nightcrawler’s abilities should fit right into Rivals’ playstyle, potentially serving as a Duelist. His abilities include:

  • Foil Style
  • Epee Style
  • Phase Shift

Jubilee

Jubilee is a Chinese-American mutant who can generate explosive energy plasmoids from her hands. She is a fan-favourite character from Marvel Comics, thanks to her aesthetically pleasing powers.

Rogue

Initially a villainous character, the incredibly powerful Rogue later joined the X-Men and became a staple member of the team.

With Rogue having a history with Magneto, it opens the doors for interesting character interactions between them. Her abilities are:

  • Ability to Draw
  • Ability Acquisition: Skill One
  • Ability Acquisition: Skill Two
  • Ability Acquisition: Skill Three These names suggest she can absorb up to three of her teammate’s abilities at the start of each round, similar to Loki’s ultimate, the God of Mischief.
