Marvel Rivals Fans are Stretching Mister Fantastic's Meme Potential to Its Limit

Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals fray this past weekend, kicking off Season 1 on January 10th. While Invisible Woman's reception seems generally positive, Mister Fantastic's stretchy antics have sparked a wave of online amusement. His unique abilities, designed for both dueling and tanking roles, have proven unexpectedly comical.

His elastic powers, particularly the "Elastic Strength" ability, have drawn numerous comparisons to One Piece's Luffy, fueling meme creation despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding. The sheer goofiness of his transformations, including his "Reflexive Rubber" ability which sees him inflate to refrigerator-sized proportions, has become a major talking point. Even his beard has become a subject of humorous edits on platforms like X/Twitter.

The community's reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many embracing the character's inherent silliness. One Reddit user perfectly captured the sentiment: "Ngl I think Mr. Fantastic's design encapsulates everything great about this game. He's stupid and silly and cheesy and the game just lets him be that and is better for it."
