Marvel Rivals players hyped by Mister Fantastic and one mind-blowing abilityhttps://dotesports.com/marvel/news/marvel-rivals-players-hyped-by-mister-fantastic-and-one-mind-blowing-abilityhttps://dotesports.com/marvel/news/marvel-rivals-players-hyped-by-mister-fantastic-and-one-mind-blowing-ability#respondTue, 07 Jan 2025 16:13:02 +0000https://dotesports.com/?p=1490533Pretty fantastic.]]>

Marvel Rivals players are gearing up for a pretty big week as they’re catapulted into Season One, with a fantastic slew of new characters providing plenty of reasons for excitement—and there’s one in particular who has caught the eye.

Mister Fantastic is one of the first two characters due to launch at the start of Season One alongside the Invisible Woman, and a showcase video for Reed Richards’ abilities in Marvel Rivals has attracted plenty of player intrigue. The stretchy super-genius is a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, but has an arsenal that seems to make him a hybrid-Vanguard at times, providing the sort of… flexibility, shall we say, in a team composition that is the perfect fit for the character, and there’s one ability that has really got fans in a spin.
