This setup focuses on strategy, allowing her to adapt and use enemy strengths against them.

Community Reaction to Marvel Rivals X-Men Characters Leak

The Marvel Rivals community has voiced their opinions on these additions and most are happy to see X-Men characters’ arrival. Considering NetEase’s promise to release one hero every 45 days, fans might have to wait several months to play all these X-Men heroes. However, many are showing patience, with one player stating, “As long as they are confirmed to be playable, I don’t care how long it takes.” While this might seem like a long wait, as an X-Men fan myself, I believe these iconic mutants will be worth the wait.

The newly leaked ability names give us a better idea of how each X-Men hero will play in Marvel Rivals. It’s clear that NetEase is focusing on making each character feel distinct and faithful to their comic book roots. Stay tuned for official announcements and possible gameplay reveals showing these abilities in action.
