Leaked Files Reveal Daredevil Coming to Marvel Rivals
According to trusted dataminer X0X_LEAK in X, developers at NetEase are currently working on adding Daredevil to the playable roster. Information found in the game files reveals that Matt Murdock’s passive ability will be called Spherical Clipping, though this name might change before release. If added, he would join big names already in Marvel Rivals like Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, and Storm.
While details about Daredevil’s full moveset are still unknown, a few things can be guessed based on his character. He’ll likely be a Duelist with fast, melee-focused combat. His abilities might use his enhanced senses and radar sense to track enemies or dodge attacks. The “Spherical Clipping” passive could tie into his 360-degree awareness, helping him spot threats from any direction.
Additionally, his potential skin options could include his classic red suit, original yellow look, ’90s armored design, and possibly the Man Without Fear black costume.

Marvel Rivals Krakoa Map Hints at Professor X Addition
Charles Xavier has been rumored for Marvel Rivals since Season 1, but new evidence makes his addition seem even more likely. The Krakoa map for Season 2’s Hellfire Gala features statues of Professor X alongside existing playable characters like Magneto and Emma Frost.
According to the same dataminer, Professor X’s abilities have been updated in the game files, with three abilities now listed:
- X-Men Collection.
- Potential Stimulation.
- Mind Projection.
The leaks also suggest that opening a book might be part of Professor X’s kit, and he’s classified as a Support character in the game’s code.
When Will Daredevil and Professor X Come to Marvel Rivals?
With Season 2 beginning April 11th, 2025, featuring Emma Frost and Ultron joining in Season 2.5, these leaked characters might arrive in Season 3 around July 2025. The leaks connect to Season 2’s storyline, where Ultron has taken over an entire timeline, with an end-screen showing him gaining control of an unoccupied Cerebro helmet – possibly tying directly to Professor X’s introduction.
What This Marvel Rivals Leak Means for Daredevil and Professor X Fans
Daredevil has often been left out of major Marvel games despite being a fan favorite. Aside from appearances in group-based titles like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, he hasn’t had many chances to shine. Adding him to Marvel Rivals would finally give players the chance to use him in a more competitive and action-heavy setting.
On the other hand, Professor X would boost the game’s mutant lineup, joining characters like Emma Frost and Magneto. As a Support hero, he’d likely bring a different kind of playstyle, more about helping teammates than dealing damage directly. This Marvel Rivals leak about Daredevil and Professor X suggests NetEase is continuing to expand the game’s roster with highly requested characters. While we wait for official confirmation, these leaks give players plenty to look forward to in upcoming seasons.
