Marvel Rivals Fans are Stretching Mister Fantastic's Meme Potential to Its Limit

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 abilities have generated a wave of memes and humorous reactions from the player base.

His elastic powers, particularly his "Elastic Strength" and "Reflexive Rubber" abilities, lend themselves perfectly to comedic interpretations. Many players have compared his stretchy form to Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, inspiring fan-made skins (despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding). His "Reflexive Rubber" ability, which involves him inflating to refrigerator-sized proportions, has proven especially meme-worthy.

The character's design, including his new beard, has also become a source of amusement. Several players have even shared creative edits imagining him without the facial hair.

Despite the humorous reactions, Mister Fantastic's gameplay is proving strategically complex. Players are still experimenting with his versatile abilities, which allow him to function both as a duelist and a tank. One Reddit user even praised his design, stating that his "stupid and silly and cheesy" nature perfectly complements the game's overall tone.

While his reception has been overwhelmingly positive and humorous, the long-term popularity of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman remains to be seen. The arrival of The Thing and Human Torch in the latter half of Season 1 will undoubtedly add another layer to the game's dynamic.
