Marvel fans are well-acquainted with iconic characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America. But have you ever heard of Doop or Phone Ranger? Get ready, because you might just see these quirky characters soon in Marvel Rivals.
In a recent interview, Marvel Rivals director Guangyun Chen revealed to VideoGamer that the game development team is excited to tap into the entire Marvel universe, rich with “over 85 years” of unique and obscure characters. With a new hero set to debut every month starting July 11, the game is destined to get wonderfully weird.
The Marvel universe is packed with unusual characters, and as you dig deeper, you’ll uncover a treasure trove of obscure heroes and villains. Currently, Marvel Rivals features memorable characters like Jeff the Land Shark and Squirrel Girl, but the line-up is bound to get even wilder.
While developer NetEase is prioritizing heavy-hitters like season three’s additions of Jean Grey/Phoenix and Blade, Chen assures players that lesser-known yet fascinating characters will get their spotlight soon. Things are about to get fun!
Expect a slew of animal-like and anthropomorphic heroes to join the mix, including Howard the Duck, Hit-Monkey, Spider-Ham, Hellcow, and many others. Jeff might not be the only animal character in the game for much longer!
Then there are intriguing humanoid characters like Paste Pot Pete and M.O.D.O.K., who are already mentioned in the game files. What about Doorman, who is literally a living doorway? Have you ever heard of Doctor Bong, Slapstick, or Doop? Buckle up; Googling these names will be quite the adventure!
