Human Torch is set to make a fiery entrance in the popular hero shooter Marvel Rivals, with a potential “Negative Zone Gladiator” outfit ready to be unveiled on February 21. Joining him on this date is The Thing, making it a double treat for Marvel fans. There’s speculation, yet to be confirmed, that Human Torch will take on the role of a Duelist, while many anticipate The Thing to stand strong as a Vanguard.
An influential dataminer within the Marvel Rivals community hints at exciting additions, suggesting that Human Torch’s debut will coincide with a major mid-season update. Not just that, NetEase Games has announced the release of a new map along with significant balance tweaks on February 21. Although not official, the community buzz suggests Human Torch might wield Duelist abilities based on previous leaks. Past speculation hints at abilities like creating fiery barriers for battlefield control and teaming up with Storm to unleash flaming tornadoes. However, treat these as mere rumors since the official abilities could differ from these leaked details.
On a lighter note, a renowned leaker, X0X_LEAK, recently took to Twitter to propose that Human Torch’s new attire might reflect his gritty travels through the Negative Zone, a creative nod to comic fans. The design is said to be a stealthy black without any markers of his Fantastic Four lineage, accented with vivid flame straps for an edgier, battle-ready look, a stark contrast to his usual cheerful persona.
This release raises curiosity about Human Torch’s darker wardrobe choice. After all, Marvel Rivals did surprise fans with an alter ego skin for Invisible Woman called Malice and a villainous costume, The Maker, for Mr. Fantastic. The upcoming roster expansion includes The Thing, expected to fill the Vanguard slot with his robust frame. And if rumors hold, he’ll showcase his iconic look featuring a wide-brimmed hat and trench coat, sparking excitement for the diverse content just around the corner.
Marvel Rivals promises a thrilling PVP experience where one can assemble iconic Marvel heroes and villains to form a dream team. The game thrives on fast-paced 6v6 battles across dynamic landscapes, encouraging creative destruction and inventive strategies. Unleash unique Team-Up skills through character synergies to turn battles, while the evolving universe keeps the excitement fresh with new characters and maps introduced each season. A treat for Marvel fans and gamers alike, Marvel Rivals ensures an action-packed adventure with infinite possibilities.
