Mister Fantastic: Who is Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals?

Mister Fantastic is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals and the 34th hero introduced to the game. As Dr. Reed Richards^[1], he is the leader of the Fantastic Four, renowned for his intellect and ability to stretch and reshape his body in extraordinary ways. Combining his elasticity with strategic combat techniques, Mister Fantastic excels at disrupting enemies and protecting his team.

In Marvel Rivals, Mister Fantastic is a durable mid-range brawler who blends crowd control and survivability. Despite being classified as a Duelist, his playstyle resembles that of a Vanguard, as he can absorb damage, reposition enemies, and support allies in battle.

Mister Fantastic’s Abilities in Marvel Rivals

Mister Fantastic’s stretching abilities allow him to control fights by grabbing, pulling, and disrupting enemies. Here’s a breakdown of his abilities:

Primary Attack

• Stretch Punch: Extends his arm to deal damage to enemies. The attack can hit multiple opponents if the player moves their aim quickly.

Secondary Attack

• Distended Grip: Extends his arm to grab an enemy. A follow-up punch pulls the target toward him. If another enemy is nearby, he can slam both enemies together, dealing additional damage and knocking them up.

Abilities

• Flexible Elongation: Dashes toward an enemy or ally, dealing damage on impact and granting himself and allies bonus health.
• Reflexive Rubber: Temporarily enlarges his body, absorbing incoming damage and redirecting it as projectiles. During this state, he is immune to crowd control^[2].

Ultimate Ability

• Brainiac Bounce: Leaps into the air and slams down onto enemies, dealing area damage. He can chain multiple jumps, increasing damage and slowing enemies with each impact.

Passive Ability

• Elastic Strength: Builds up an Elasticity gauge, which, when full, grants an inflated state that boosts attack damage, movement speed, and max health for six seconds.

Mister Fantastic Team-Ups in Marvel Rivals

• Wedded Harmony (with Invisible Woman): When activated, all damage Mister Fantastic takes is converted into bonus health for five seconds.

Mister Fantastic’s mix of disruptive abilities, durability, and team support makes him a flexible and powerful addition to any Marvel Rivals team.
