Marvel Rivals fans might be getting two strong new characters soon, as hints point to Jean Grey and Elixir joining the game. Both were subtly teased on the latest Cerebro Database event page, which means the X-Men lineup could grow to nine characters. These two are known as Omega-level mutants, so that they could bring powerful new abilities to the game. Let’s take a look at what they might offer on the battlefield.
Jean Grey and Elixir Teased on New Event Page in Marvel Rivals
If you’ve been exploring the latest event page in Marvel Rivals, you might have spotted something interesting in the Black Panther section. In small font at the bottom of the page, the text “Joshua Foley…Elixir and Jean Grey” appears, suggesting these two powerful mutants are on their way to the game.
NetEase Games hasn’t officially confirmed Jean Grey and Elixir yet, but their names showing up seems too planned to be a coincidence. If added, both would bring unique powers that could significantly impact the game’s meta.

Jean Grey in Marvel Rivals
All Marvel fans know that Jean Grey stands as one of the most powerful characters in Marvel’s universe. An Omega-level mutant with impressive telekinetic and telepathic abilities, she’s considered S+ tier among superheroes. Her connection to the cosmic Phoenix Force makes her a formidable presence on any battlefield. According to leaked information, Jean Grey will likely join as a Duelist character with abilities that reflect her comic book powers. Her kit apparently includes two different forms, just like Emma Frost:
Human Form
- Psychic Explosion
- Telekinetic Explosion
- Telekinetic Transfer
- Psychokinetic Transfer
- Shattered Star Impact
These abilities appear to focus on mid-range attacks, with reports suggesting she’ll have the power to temporarily mute enemies, preventing them from using their abilities.
Phoenix Form
- Phoenix Shadow
- Phoenix Ray
- Phoenix Punishment
- Phoenix Wings Flying
- Phoenix Elegy
While details remain sparse on how these Phoenix abilities will work, they’re likely to represent a powered-up state with enhanced damage and mobility options.
Elixir in Marvel Rivals
The next character teased in the event page is Elixir (Joshua Foley). He is another Omega-level mutant whose biokinetic abilities give him complete control over biology, both his own and others’. In the comics, his powers have evolved dramatically over time, allowing him to heal injuries, resurrect the dead, and even cause instant death with a mere touch.
Based on his comic abilities, Elixir seems perfectly suited for a Strategist role in Marvel Rivals. His potential kit might include:
- Healing abilities for teammates.
- Resurrection mechanics.
- Debuffs or damage-over-time effects for enemies.
- Self-healing capabilities.
- Area-of-effect healing or damage.
His comic book ability to change his skin from gold (when healing) to black (when harming) could translate into an interesting stance-switching mechanic in the game.
Marvel Rivals players have plenty to be excited about with Jean Grey and Elixir’s possible arrival in the game. X-Men fans will definitely appreciate these iconic additions, while all gamers can look forward to mastering their distinctive abilities on the battlefield. Are you excited about these potential new additions to Marvel Rivals?
