A Marvel Rivals fan has pointed out that the Scarlet Witch skin based on her appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has a unique menu image. There are many subtle details in Marvel Rivals‘ characters and maps, and this Multiverse of Madness detail is incredible.

Since Marvel Rivals was released, it has blown up in popularity, reaching over 10 million players in just 72 hours. NetEase Games has added multiple characters to the Marvel Rivals roster since the game was released, including Moon Knight, Wolverine, and The Fantastic Four. Each hero added to the roster offers their own play style, just like any hero shooter. Unlike some popular hero shooters, Rivals has rapidly added new characters to the lineup, allowing more unpredictability in the team composition. Alongside the popular Marvel characters, players can unlock a variety of cosmetics to make their heroes and villains stand out more. One gamer has pointed out a unique difference between the standard Scarlet Witch and her Multiverse of Madness counterpart.

Marvel Rivals Player Points Out Helpful Settings Change

Marvel Rivals player points out a very useful setting to use during matches, and players are surprised they didn’t notice this option before.

Reddit user ShadyIllusionist recently shared two Marvel Rivals screenshots highlighting the Scarlet Witch Multiverse of Madness skin compared to her standard appearance. The Multiverse of Madness version of the character changes her menu image to reflect the villainous Scarlet Witch. This is particularly notable because when players change other characters’ skins, their image poses don’t change. So far, it appears that only Scarlet Witch’s image will change once the Multiverse of Madness skin is equipped. Players can buy the Scarlet Witch Multiverse of Madness skin for 1,800 Marvel Rivals Units, which can be earned by completing in-game challenges or purchased with money.

Scarlet Witch’s Multiverse of Madness Skin Changes Her Marvel Rivals Portrait

While this Scarlet Witch cosmetic was released in December, it took players nearly a month to discover this detail. Scarlet Witch appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as a threat to the Sorcerer Supreme due to her tie to the Darkhold. This cosmetic for the Marvel character is based on this appearance in the movie. Marvel Rivals features both heroes, allowing players to replicate some moments they may have seen in the MCU. Scarlet Witch is a Marvel Rivals Duelist character who can launch explosive magic missiles and become immune to all damage with Mystic Projection. Doctor Strange is a Vanguard character who can stun nearby enemies with his ultimate ability, The Eye of Agamotto, and he creates portals just as he’s shown doing regularly in the movies.

Although the effect that this skin has on Scarlet Witch’s image is currently unique to the Duelist hero, future skins will likely offer this change as well. As NetEase continues to update Marvel Rivals, it may not be long before the next skin is introduced to the game.
