Rumor: Marvel Rivals Leak Teases Five New Heroes

Marvel Rivals Leak Hints at Five New Heroes, Including Professor X and Colossus

A new leak suggests that five new heroes are set to join the 6v6 shooter Marvel Rivals, sending ripples of excitement through the community. The leak, shared by dataminer X0X_LEAK on Twitter, names Professor X, Jia Jing, Paste Pot Pete, Colossus, and Locus as potential additions to the roster.

This follows previous leaks hinting at the arrival of Valkyrie and Sam Wilson, further fueling anticipation for expanded gameplay options. The inclusion of Professor X and Colossus is particularly noteworthy, given their iconic status in Marvel Comics. Professor X, the leader of the X-Men, is expected to fill a Support role, alongside Jia Jing (known for her flight and rock-like durability) and Locus (a character with teleportation, flight, and energy blast capabilities). Colossus, a popular Vanguard character, is a highly anticipated addition, finally joining the game after being absent from the initial launch. Paste Pot Pete, a notorious Duelist and member of the Frightful Four, rounds out the potential additions, adding another compelling villain to the game's lineup.

The leak also suggests a new Duelist character in Paste Pot Pete (also known as Trapster), a familiar antagonist from Fantastic Four comics. His inclusion follows the recent addition of Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic, further strengthening the Fantastic Four's presence in the game.

While these additions remain unconfirmed, the leak has generated considerable buzz among players. The potential for new Support and Vanguard characters, along with the addition of a well-known villain, promises exciting new strategic options and gameplay dynamics. Fans eagerly await official confirmation from the developers.
