As per the promise of Marvel Rivals getting a new hero every month, the second half of Season 1 will bring players two new heroes: the Human Torch and The Thing. These new champions will be available to play in a couple of days, but before they're released into the wild, we got a sneak peek at what these characters can do, and it's pretty scary.

The Human Torch is most effective in claiming space with area-of-effect attacks, able to connect up to four points on the field to create a firewall that does hefty damage over time to anyone within the perimeter.

Season 1.5, the mid-season update for Marvel Rivals season 1, brings the final two characters from The Fantastic Four to the game, as well as another major map. These final additions will round out the game’s first post-launch update, which NetEase Games said has “double the playable content of a regular season.”
