Imagine queuing for a game, the anticipation building with each passing second. Then, a character drops a line so absurd, so self-aware, it shatters the tension and erupts in laughter. That’s the promise Deadpool brings to Marvel Rivals, and early signs suggest he’s already a hit before his official debut.
The Merc With a Mouth Arrives Early (Sort Of)
The office is buzzing about who will main Deadpool first. He isn’t officially part of the hero shooter until the new season launch. However, data miners have already unearthed a treasure trove of his dialogue: one-liners, memes, fourth-wall breaks, and unique interactions with every other character.
Alejandro Saab, known for his work in Borderlands 4 and My Hero Academia, voices Deadpool. You can tell the voice actor enjoyed himself immensely. Deadpool has something to say about everything – and he says a *lot*.
Deadpool’s madness, a result of brain damage and constant regeneration, makes him the perfect character to break the fourth wall. Marvel Rivals seems to embrace this chaos.
He’s a verbal Swiss Army Knife, ready to slice through any pretense.
Fourth-Wall Breaking Banter
I overheard someone at the local game shop complaining about how modern games lack personality. Maybe they haven’t heard Deadpool’s dialogue in Marvel Rivals. When Jean Grey/Phoenix asks about Cyclops, Deadpool responds that he “isn’t even playable yet,” adding that “the leakers online are gonna lose their minds.” Which, of course, they did.
In a suggestive exchange with Wolverine, Deadpool jokes about having Wolverine’s healing factor, implying “it’s kinda like you’re inside me.” Wolverine offers to show Deadpool “a lot more” by stabbing him.
Even internet culture isn’t safe. Streamer Necros discovered a line where Deadpool reacts to Galacta announcing a five-kill streak with: “Five? What’s next, 6, 7? Ah, f*ck me!”
How many characters are in Marvel Rivals?
The initial roster is around 20 heroes, with more being added with each season. Each character offers a unique playstyle, making team composition strategic and fun.
You can find more voicelines and interactions in videos by YouTuber dripping. Season six launches soon, so watch them while you wait!
Is Deadpool Too Much?
Walking through a crowded convention hall, you see tons of people dressed as Deadpool, so clearly he has fans. NetEase Games has done an excellent job capturing the spirit of the Marvel characters. They were given freedom to create their own versions, but they still feel true to the source material. Deadpool is loud, annoying, and, most importantly, fun.
Gambit and Rogue are also very well-designed, but Deadpool may be the peak. He’s the first “3-in-1” hero, able to switch between Vanguard, Duelist, or Strategist roles at the start of each match. This gives him unique abilities and makes him a versatile pick.
When does the new season of Marvel Rivals launch?
Season six is set to launch imminently. Keep an eye on official announcements from NetEase Games for the exact launch time in your region.
The early response to Deadpool’s antics has been positive. But it makes you wonder if his over-the-top personality will wear thin over time. The character is intentionally grating, so maybe that’s the point.
What is the price for Marvel Rivals?
As a free-to-play game, Marvel Rivals is accessible to a wide audience. Revenue is generated through cosmetic items and battle passes, but the core gameplay remains free.
Like a sugar rush, Deadpool’s initial impact is intense and exciting. But what happens when the novelty wears off? Will players grow tired of his constant chatter and meta-commentary, or will his unique brand of humor continue to resonate?
The game’s world is now his stage, and he’s not afraid to play every role—hero, villain, comedian, or nuisance. The only question that remains: will the audience love or loathe the performance?
