With 33 heroes at launch, Marvel Rivals has many characters to choose from to try and win games. Here are all the heroes ranked best to worst.
Many Marvel Rivals fans want to see Gambit added to the hero shooter. Gambit is able to charge whatever he touches with kinetic energy, oftentimes making said objects explode. The Cajun mutant is famous for using a deck of playing cards as one of his main weapons, as they give him plenty of ammo to work with in battle. While Gambit first rose to prominence in the comic books, he’s also known for being one of the featured characters in X-Men: The Animated Series and the reboot, X-Men ’97. In that show, Gambit is shown charging Wolverine’s adamantium claws with his kinetic energy, in turn giving his fellow X-Man a significant boost in battle. This moment from the show is one that Marvel Rivals fans want to see recreated in the game as a team-up move between Wolverine and Gambit.
Marvel Rivals Team-Up Abilities Should Include This Epic Moment from X-Men ’97 One Day
Marvel Rivals‘ team-up moves are one of the game’s defining features that help it stand apart from other games in the genre. These abilities encourage players to pick characters that complement each other, imbuing one another with special abilities that can help turn the tide of any given battle. Wolverine only has one team-up ability at the time of this writing, that being his Fastball Special with the Hulk.
Seeing how Marvel Rivals team-ups evolve with new roster additions will definitely be interesting. As far as future roster additions go, nothing official has been announced by NetEase at the time of this writing. However, Marvel Rivals leaks have suggested that future characters will include all four members of the Fantastic Four, the villainous Ultron, the vampire hunter Blade, Angela, Captain Marvel, and Hit-Monkey. Marvel Rivals Season 1 is coming next month and expected to bring with it new content, and it’s entirely possible some of the leaked characters will be part of the package.
