A new Marvel Rivals leak teases that five new heroes will be joining the game, including Professor X and Colossus. With Marvel Rivals' popularity on the rise, leaks are increasingly being shared by the community, revealing exciting content potentially on the way for the 6v6 shooter.
Previously, a leak suggested that Valkyrie may join Marvel Rivals at some point. Players still don't know, however, whether the devs will add the version from the comics or the one played by Tessa Thompson in the MCU movies. Another Marvel Rivals leak brought good news for Sam Wilson fans, leaving open the possibility of his debut although both he and Steve Rogers are known as Captain America. This time, another leak has been revealed, indicating that the roster will increase even more in the future.
Marvel Rivals Fan Shares Scarlet Witch Skin Concept
A Marvel Rivals fan creates a skin concept for Scarlet Witch, showing a cosmetic inspired by one of the most iconic versions of the character.
Shared by dataminer X0X_LEAK on their Twitter, a new Marvel Rivals leak teases that Professor X, Jia Jing, Paste Pot Pete, Colossus, and Locus will be added to the game. The news is especially encouraging for Support mains, with Professor X, Jia Jing, and Locus being mentioned as new characters for the role. While the iconic leader of the X-Men needs no introduction, Jia Jing is a character who can fly thanks to her fairy wings and has a skin made of rock, giving her high resistance. Locus is the title given to two characters, the best known of whom is Rayna Piper, who has the power to teleport, fly, and launch energy blasts.
Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals Five Potential New Heroes
- Professor X
- Jia Jing
- Paste Pot Pete
- Colossus
- Locus
The leak indicates that the main Vanguards will have a new character, with Colossus finally joining the shooter. While the famous X-Men character wasn't part of the launch cast, Colossus is highly anticipated in Marvel Rivals due to his popularity and potential as a Vanguard. Past Pot Pete, a criminal known for having been a member of the Frightful Four villain group, is said to be the new playable Duelist. First appearing in Marvel Comics in 1962, the character changed his alias to Trapster in Fantastic Four #38 (1965).
There is no official confirmation that the five heroes will be added to Marvel Rivals, so players should take the leaked information with discretion. Despite this, players are counting on the possible debuts of Professor X and Colossus since they are prominent characters in Marvel Comics lore. Past Pot Pete is another name that catches the eye as he is a well-known antagonist from The Fantastic Four, who recently arrived in the game with the addition of the Invisible Woman to Marvel Rivals along with Mister Fantastic.
