The existing collection of heroes has gained appreciation, and fans have praised developers for constantly bringing new characters, but Marvel Rivals have more to offer, and if this leak turns out to be true, then it will surely result in new gameplay opportunities.
As per rumors, Professor X, a super-smart and kind guy in Marvel comics, is more likely to be a support hero, and fans are wondering if he will be with his wheelchair or if they will get to see him in a new way.
Colossus, another favorite from X-Men, is expected to join; he is known for his durability and amazing ability to turn his body into glistening metal, making him perfect for the tank role. Although he is a giant, but with a heart that holds deep care for friends and family.
A lesser-known mutant, Jia Jing, also known as Sprite, is rumored to join as a Strategist. With her rock-like skin for defense and fairy wings that enable flight, she offers a unique playstyle.
Her inclusion may also reflect an effort to connect with the game’s significant Chinese player base. Locus, a mutant with teleportation abilities, is another rumored Strategist. While for Paste-Pot Pete is expected to take the role of a duelist.
