Marvel Rivals continues to expand its roster, and the latest hero to join the fight is none other than Mr Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four. Known for his incredible elasticity and keen intellect, Mr Fantastic is set to bring his unique abilities to the battlefield, giving players a new way to experience his iconic powers.
Here’s everything we know about his in-game abilities, lore, and when you can expect to play as him.
Who is Mr Fantastic?
Reed Richards, aka Mr Fantastic, is one of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Born in California, Richards was a child prodigy with an aptitude for science.
His early life was marked by his intellect and academic pursuits, which eventually led him to form the Fantastic Four alongside Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing).
Richards’ life changed when he and his team flew into space aboard the Marvel-1 rocket and were exposed to cosmic radiation. This event granted them superhuman abilities, with Richards gaining the ability to stretch his body to extreme lengths, making him one of the most versatile and resourceful superheroes in the Marvel Universe.
Now, Mr Fantastic is ready to bring his remarkable powers to Marvel Rivals, where players can take control of him and fight alongside the other members of the Fantastic Four.
