4. Human Torch

Human Torch ranks the lowest among the Fantastic Four in Marvel Rivals due to his inconsistent damage, unreliability in high-rank play, and awkward kit. His Fire Cluster has a short range and a spread that makes it tough to land consistent hits, especially for a flying hero who should excel at a distance. His movement ability, Plasma Body, also feels a bit sluggish, making him an easy target for hitscan heroes. Flaming Meteor has potential, but more often puts him in a risky situation. 

That being said, he still has some strengths that can be capitalized with the right strategy. His Supernova Ultimate can be devastating if effectively paired with crowd-control abilities like Storm’s tornadoes. His burn damage over time is also good for softening targets for his team if he can effectively set them on fire. Human Torch can be dangerous in the right hands, but his exploitable loopholes keep him from being ranked higher.

3. The Thing

The Thing ranks third among the Fantastic Four due to his powerful attacks and enjoyable playstyle, though he does have some clear weaknesses. He works best in coordination, using his charge to create space and his passive to resist crowd control. However, his biggest issue is survivability: he lacks shields or strong damage reduction, feeling too squishy for a main tank role. His knock-ups can also be frustrating, often sending enemies too far to follow up, and his limited mobility makes it tough to escape.

A few tweaks could make him stronger, like better durability, higher base health, and better defenses during his charge. Adjusting his knock-ups could also make his combos more effective. He’s not bad if treated as a secondary tank and paired with a good healer like Mantis or Invisible Woman. However, in this meta, characters like Venom and Thor tend to fill their role more effectively. Overall, his kit is still slightly more reliable than Human Torch’s, giving him an edge in certain matchups and better situational effectiveness.

2. Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic is easily the second-best Fantastic Four character, thanks to his durability, adaptability, and strong dueling potential. His core abilities, like Flexible Elongation, Distended Grip, and Reflexive Rubber, let him stay alive for a long time, sometimes feeling tankier than actual tanks. His sustain and mobility make him a great Duelist, and when paired with a frontliner like Captain America, he almost becomes an off-tank while dealing steady damage.

A small downside is that he often gets mistaken for a full tank, which can sometimes mess with team synergy if a proper frontline is missing. Since his damage isn't as explosive as other Duelists, he works better in drawn-out fights than in quick bursts. Apart from these minor flaws, his ability to control engagements and wear enemies down makes him a solid Duelist. His hybrid nature, blending offense and survivability, makes him a top-tier pick.

1. Invisible Woman

Invisible Woman’s versatility and strong support abilities make her a must-have in any team composition. Her kit has the perfect balance of mobility, healing, and support that stays effective, and her tall skill ceiling prevents her from being overpowered. Her Guardian Shield provides cover, and Psionic Vortex pulls enemies together, making her great at disrupting enemies. She also has a solid counter to melee attackers since she can knock them back and deal solid damage.

Unlike most supports, she shines with an aggressive playstyle. What makes her stand out is how she balances healing and offensive pressure. Phase Shift gives her temporary invisibility, helping her reposition or catch enemies off guard, while her passive healing keeps fights going longer. But she’s not just about healing, as her barrier helps control space, her strong crowd control punishes overextensions, and her self-sufficiency lets her hold her own in fights. Whether making plays or anchoring, she’s incredibly flexible and fits almost any lineup.
