For instance, in the case of Magneto and Scarlet Witch, the heroine receives a passive buff to her damage, while Magneto gains the ability to wield a large metal sword against his foes.

Marvel Rivals Players Can Earn Two Free Skins

Marvel Rivals surprises players by announcing that they will soon have the opportunity to earn two free skins in NetEase Games’ popular hero shooter.

In a recent post on Reddit, Omari_03 suggested that NetEase Games should add team-ups between several popular duos, including Captain America and Winter Soldier in Marvel Rivals. The two heroes have a longstanding relationship in both the comics and the MCU, with Bucky acting as Captain America’s sidekick before he became Winter Soldier. The Redditor also suggested that Storm and Black Panther should have a team-up ability, as the two were married at one point in the comics and often fought together on the battlefield.

Marvel Rivals Players Suggest New Team-Ups

The post also pointed out that Magik and Doctor Strange may make for a useful duo, as the Sorcerer Supreme once acted as the mutant’s mentor while she struggled to gain control over her abilities. Marvel Rivals‘ Wolverine and Punisher also have a history of working both with and against each other in the comics, as they are both brutal characters with a tendency to kill their enemies. While there are no guarantees, NetEase Games has stated that it plans to add and remove team-ups periodically, which leaves the door open for these duos to become a reality.

Many gamers are looking forward to the addition of The Thing and Human Torch to Marvel Rivals, both of which will make their debut in the near future. In addition to playing the heroes themselves, a large portion of the community is curious to see what kind of team-ups they will add to the title. It’s rumored that Human Torch will have a unique ability with Storm at launch, allowing the two characters to create fire tornadoes on the battlefield. Some players have already speculated that The Thing may have the ability to throw Wolverine into fights, similar to the mutant’s team-up with Hulk. With so much content on the way and even more in the works, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
