Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals roster this past weekend, kicking off Season 1. While both characters have made a splash, Mister Fantastic's unique design and abilities have quickly become a source of amusement for players.

His elastic powers, particularly his "Elastic Strength" and "Reflexive Rubber" abilities, lend themselves to comedic interpretations. Comparisons to One Piece's Luffy are rampant, fueled by his ability to contort his body into absurd shapes. This has even inspired the modding community to create a custom One Piece skin, despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding. His "Reflexive Rubber" ability, which sees him inflate to refrigerator-sized proportions, is another prime example of his unintentionally hilarious gameplay.

The meme potential is undeniable. Many players have shared humorous edits and artwork, including reinterpretations of Mister Fantastic without his beard. One Reddit user perfectly summarized the sentiment: "Ngl I think Mr. Fantastic's design encapsulates everything great about this game. He's stupid and silly and cheesy and the game just lets him be that and is better for it."

While his long-term popularity remains to be seen, Mister Fantastic's debut has undeniably left a memorable mark. The arrival of The Thing and Human Torch in the latter half of Season 1 promises even more exciting (and potentially hilarious) additions to the Marvel Rivals roster.
