Summary
- Human Torch was leaked back in August, but now we have a better look at his supposed abilities.
- As you’d expect, he’s a flight-based character who can hurl fireballs and engulf enemies in flame.
- But what’s most interesting is that he can reportedly synergise with Storm to ignite her hurricane ultimate.
Thanks to leakers, we have a pretty good idea about who’s joining the Marvel Rivals roster in the near future, with the Human Torch potentially arriving as soon as Season 1.
But we haven’t heard a peep about him since August, months before the game launched. Thankfully, just in time for Christmas, @RivalsLeaks revealed some interesting new details about his abilities, as well as an in-game screenshot of his model. Spoilers: he looks stunning.
All Of The Human Torch’s Abilities In Marvel Rivals
According to @RivalLeaks, his four abilities are as follows:
- Plasma Body – “enter a state of accelerated ascent”
- Pyro-Prison – “Connect flame fields to form a fire wall that deals burning damage to enemies”
- Flaming Meteor – “Dive towards the ground and stun nearby enemies”
- Blazing Blast – “Launch a fireball to create a flame field at the targeted area.”
Plasma Body seems to engulf the Human Torch in flames so that he can fly, which is exactly what he does when he screams “FLAME ON!” Why it’s not called Flame On is beyond me. C’mon NetEase, that one was a gimme.
As for his ultimate, it’s reportedly called Supernova, and activating it will “Unleash shockwaves to deal damage to enemies within range”, transforming your flame field into a “fire tornado”. If someone on your team is playing as Storm, they can consume a fire tornado in their ultimate to ignite her hurricane.
