Marvel Rivals launched with 33 characters, and if you’ve been playing around with the roster, you might be wondering who’s coming next. The game files have been pretty interesting to dig through lately – there’s a lot hidden in there about upcoming characters.

Some of these leaks look really solid too, since they’re coming from the actual game code rather than just random rumors. From what I can see after going through different leaker sources, we’re looking at some big names joining the roster.

The Fantastic Four seems to be coming in full force, and there’s a lot of detailed info about Ultron that looks particularly convincing. Let me walk you through every Marvel Rivals character leaks.

Disclaimer: This article is based on leaks and datamined information. While the sources mentioned have proven reliable in the past, plans can change during development. Take all information with a grain of salt until officially confirmed by NetEase Games.

All Marvel Rivals Character Leaks

The following characters have been found through various leaks and data mining efforts:

  • Human Torch
  • Mr. Fantastic
  • The Thing
  • Invisible Woman
  • Ultron
  • Blade
  • Emma Frost
  • Jean Grey
  • Captain Marvel
  • Hit-Monkey

Human Torch

Johnny Storm showed up in a recent advertisement that wasn’t supposed to be public yet. He’s listed as a Duelist, which makes sense given his offensive capabilities.

Looking at the leaked info, you can expect typical flame-based attacks and possibly some flight mechanics similar to Iron Man. The ad leak came with a partial ability screen, though the text wasn’t fully visible.

Mr. Fantastic

Reed Richards has had his entire ability screen leaked online. He’s coming as a Duelist, which has sparked some debate since he’s usually more of a support character in the comics.

His abilities focus heavily on his stretching powers – you’ll be able to extend attacks for long-range damage, wrap up enemies for crowd control, and even absorb damage to release it later. The leak came from a reliable source called Caboose Shoes, who’s been right about previous character releases.

The Thing

Grimm is set to join as a Vanguard, which is great news since the game needs more tanks. We are not exactly sure what his abilities would be like, but we are sure of one thing that he is going to be quite tanky! He showed up in the same advertisement as Human Torch, giving this leak extra credibility.

Ultron

Ultron has the most detailed leaks so far. RivalsLeaks on X (formerly Twitter) shared his complete ability kit, and it looks like he’ll be a two-star Strategist. His abilities include free flight movement, drone summoning that can both heal allies and damage enemies, and a protective formation ability.

There’s even a special slow-fall mechanic using his Algorithm Correction ability. Based on multiple sources, Ultron might be one of the first new characters to arrive in Season 1.

Emma Frost & Jean Grey

These X-Men characters were found in the Chinese build by Fumo Leaks. Emma Frost’s files suggest she’ll have both offensive psychic abilities and a defensive diamond form, staying true to her comic book powers. Jean Grey’s files are less detailed, but they hint at Phoenix Force abilities.

Blade was part of Miller Ross’s original leak list, which has been spot-on with previous character reveals. While we don’t have specific ability information yet, the character files suggest he’ll be a Duelist focusing on close-range combat and mobility.

Additional Characters

Captain Marvel, Hit-Monkey, and Angela were all found in the game files by dataminer Matfacio. The Hood is particularly interesting because recent comics gave him Ghost Rider’s powers – the files don’t clarify which version we’ll see in the game.

Looking Ahead While these leaks come from reliable sources, remember that game development is always changing. Some characters might arrive as early as Season 1 in January 2025, while others could line up with Marvel movie releases. The Fantastic Four, for example, might coordinate with their upcoming movie.

Keep in mind that all of this information comes from leaks and datamining – nothing is officially confirmed yet. But given the track record of these sources and the detailed ability information available for some characters, it’s looking pretty solid. I’ll make sure to update this guide as more information becomes available or when these characters officially join the roster.
