Recently, an unexpected mishap involving a Marvel Rivals advertisement has revealed new characters set to join the game, providing fans with an early glimpse into the upcoming roster. While vigilant dataminers had already hinted at potential additions, this marks the first official confirmation of their inclusion.
This inadvertent leak does not showcase the in-game appearances of these heroes but confirms their arrival, while also hinting at two additional characters from the Marvel universe.
Marvel Rivals Unintentionally Reveals the Fantastic Four
As the storyline for Season 1 gears up with Doctor Doom as the primary antagonist, it is only fitting that the iconic Fantastic Four will join the fight. This super team has a longstanding rivalry with Doom in the comic series, making their inclusion timely and relevant.
However, a recently deleted advertisement has prematurely unveiled this detail, spoiling the buildup surrounding their introduction. The leaked information includes the names of two confirmed characters.

The advertisement prominently featured both The Human Torch and The Thing, solidifying their roles within the game. Marvel Rivals insiders suggest that all four members of the Fantastic Four will eventually join the roster, with defined roles including:
- Mr. Fantastic – TBD
- Human Torch – DPS (Damage Per Second)
- The Thing – Tank
- Invisible Woman – Support
Insiders indicate that the Invisible Woman may be the least developed character currently, which implies that the release of the Fantastic Four may not happen simultaneously. Additionally, there are other heroes like Ultron and Blade that have also been datamined, indicating potential surprises in future updates.
Currently, only Mr. Fantastic’s abilities have been partially unveiled, suggesting he is the most complete in terms of development. However, his specific role remains unclear, with skills that provide damage boosts, healing capabilities, and damage tanking—making him a versatile option for various team dynamics.
