NetEase and Marvel have released a new gameplay trailer for Mr. Fantastic, one of the many characters coming to Season 1 of Marvel Rivals. Additionally, the developers have also released a new dev vision and press release, outlining their plans for Season 1.
The first trailer for Season 1 released earlier this year and highlights the new theme of a Vampire invasion, as well as other characters: Susan Storm (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). The trailer for Mr. Fantastic describes him as follows:
“Reed Richards has one of the universe’s most brilliant minds, but even a genius of his magnitude couldn’t have predicted the interstellar incident that bombarded his friends and family with cosmic rays, granting them each extraordinary abilities. Mister Fantastic’s cellular elasticity allows him to stretch his body beyond all physical limits. But now he’ll have to stretch his mind further than ever to build the Timestream Reintegration Device and end this cross-dimensional crisis…”
