Season 1: Eternal Night Falls introduced new characters, a Darkhold battle pass, and a shift in antagonists.

A Marvel Rivals player has put their latest defeat on blast playing as Mister Fantastic in the hero shooter, and since Reed Richards’ elasticity was his downfall, the community has joined in with the trolling. As part of Marvel Rivals‘ Season 1: Eternal Night Falls roadmap, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Women were added in the first half of the season, and characters the Human Torch and The Thing will be added in the second half.

Marvel Rivals launched in December 2024 and players can man a host of characters from Marvel lore in Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist roles. Alongside Mister Fantastic’s arrival in-game, Marvel Rivals players have also been impressed by the Invisible Woman’s abilities as a healer, such as the character’s ultimate ability to produce a powerful healing zone. More heroes were added to the live-service title’s initial 35-character roster, including Moon Knight, Jeff the Land Shark, and Squirrel Girl, but the Fantastic Four duo are popular choices right now.

Marvel Rivals Reveals First Official Look at Blade

NetEase Games surprises fans by revealing a first official look at the hero Blade, who is rumored to be coming to Marvel Rivals in the near future.

Posted on Reddit by Jorge_the_scout, a 15-second clip was posted on the Marvel Rivals subreddit showcasing a battle between two Mister Fantastics. Duelists playing Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals are in for a rewarding battle, as Reed Richards harbors the Stretch Punch and Brainiac Bounce attacks, as well as Reflexive Rubber, the latter of which contributed to the player’s defeat in the clip. After expanding into a rubber target, the opposing player blasted the original poster into a nearby dumpster, and fans couldn’t get enough of the ragdoll animation.

Marvel Rivals Player Shares Comical Defeat Playing as Mister Fantastic

Anime fans are comparing Marvel Rivals’ Mister Fantastic design to Monkey D. Luffy’s flexibility in One Piece, the popular and long-running manga and anime created by Eiichiro Oda, and fans of the shooter wasted no time trolling Reed Richards’ downfall. Many Redditors were laughing at Mister Fantastic’s feet hanging out of the dumpster, which most said added to the comedy. Another fan thought Doctor Doom would love to make the image of Mister Fantastic’s dumpster defeat his wallpaper.

Marvel Rivals’ Season 1: Eternal Night Falls welcomed the new Darkhold battle pass on January 10, costing 990 Lattice, which included 10 skins, sprays, and emotes, with rewards including 600 Lattice and 600 Units. Exclusive skins like the King Magnus and Blood Edge Armor are also available, and the new season sees Doctor Doom on the bench while Dracula takes over as the new antagonist in opposition to the Fantastic Four.
