Marvel Rivals Leak Hints at Five New Heroes, Including Professor X and Colossus
A recent leak suggests that the 6v6 shooter, Marvel Rivals, is poised to expand its roster with five exciting new heroes: Professor X, Colossus, Jia Jing, Paste Pot Pete, and Locus. This follows previous leaks hinting at the arrival of characters like Valkyrie and Sam Wilson, fueling anticipation within the player community.
The leak, shared by dataminer X0X_LEAK on Twitter, specifically names these additions. The inclusion of Professor X and Colossus is particularly noteworthy, given their prominence in Marvel Comics. Professor X, the iconic leader of the X-Men, is expected to fill a Support role, alongside Jia Jing (a flying character with rock-like durability) and Locus (potentially Rayna Piper, known for teleportation and energy blasts). Colossus, a fan-favorite, is anticipated to join as a Vanguard.
Paste Pot Pete, a villain and former member of the Frightful Four (also known as Trapster), is rumored to be the new Duelist. His inclusion is intriguing, especially considering the recent addition of the Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic.
While this information remains unconfirmed, the potential additions of these well-known Marvel characters have generated significant excitement among players. The leak suggests a substantial boost to the game's diversity, offering new strategic options and gameplay experiences. Fans are advised to approach this information with caution until official confirmation is released by the developers.
