Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman lead the charge, bringing their distinct powers to the battlefield. Thing (tank) and Human Torch (duelist) will join the fray later, completing the Fantastic Four team-up. This team-up synergistically enhances Invisible Woman's healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.

Invisible Woman

Invisible Woman provides a much-needed support role, adding welcome diversity to the game's existing support characters.

Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging enemies while simultaneously healing allies – a powerful tactic in crowded engagements. While her range is limited, her effectiveness is maximized in close proximity to teammates.

Invisible Woman's invisibility is a strategic asset, though achieving it requires six seconds of inactivity. However, she heals while invisible. A more practical approach to invisibility is her double jump, a valuable escape mechanism best saved for critical situations.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield in front of an ally, offering temporary protection and healing to nearby allies. Strategic repositioning of the shield is crucial to maximize its benefit for injured teammates.

She can both attract and repel opponents. Repelling serves primarily as a defensive maneuver, while attracting aids allies in closing the distance for attacks.

A projectile sphere pulls enemies into its area of effect, dealing damage and proving effective for controlling chokepoints and damaging groups. Her three-hit melee combo pushes enemies away, but is generally less effective than her other defensive options.

Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team. While powerful, its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Overall, Invisible Woman is a well-balanced support character, offering tactical depth and significant team support.

Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic's unique abilities make him a truly engaging character.

His attacks reach medium-range targets, and angled attacks hit anyone in their path. His abilities fill a meter; once full, he transforms into a more powerful, durable form.

His "Shift" ability allows him to absorb damage for a short period, then unleashing it in a powerful counter-attack.

He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield for himself (and dealing damage to opponents). This is useful for repositioning and increasing survivability.

His right-click extends his arm to immobilize opponents, allowing him to either pull them closer or grab another opponent for a combined aerial throw.

His ultimate ability involves a jumping area-of-effect attack, dealing damage and slowing opponents. A successful hit triggers a repeat attack.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank capabilities, proving a formidable but not overpowered addition to the roster.

Both Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic offer unique and engaging gameplay experiences. The developers clearly focused on creating distinct and strategic characters, and we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Thing and Human Torch to complete the Fantastic Four.
