The Human Torch and The Thing have both been highly anticipated characters in Marvel Rivals. Now that they are close to being released, fans are excited to finally be able to play as the other members of the Fantastic Four. Recently, Marvel Rivals gameplay of the Human Torch and The Thing was revealed and it shows off plenty of fireballs, punches, slams, and more.
Recent leaks for Marvel Rivals have confirmed that The Thing and Human Torch should be getting additional skins with the mid-season update. Before the announcement, it was also leaked that players would be able to finally exchange currencies in Marvel Rivals.
Human Torch gameplay revealed
Since creator early access starts today (February 18) it was assumed that gameplay for both The Thing and Human Torch would end up being revealed. This turned out to be true for Human Torch as gameplay has been officially revealed via the Marvel Rivals X page. The video is only 58 seconds long but it showcases all of the Human Torch’s abilities.
For starters, Human Torch can throw smaller fireballs at opponents in quick succession. Another attack lets him rapidly rush opponents, slamming into them and dealing high amounts of damage. One more ability lets Human Torch ignite the ground and then create a barrier of flames that connects the fires, keeping enemies within contained unless they want to brave the flames.
The Supernova ability appears to be Human Torch’s ultimate ability which makes his flames burn even hotter. He can then combine his ability with Storm’s tornado to create a whirling flame vortex that can engulf the enemy team.
The Thing gameplay revealed
Gameplay of The Thing was also revealed on the Marvel Rivals X page and it rocks. Ben Grimm can be seen throwing punches at Winter Soldier along with launching a charged punch at Hawkeye. On top of this, he has a charge that allows him to barrel his way across the map.
The end of the charge is marked by a large slam that destroys a bridge, bringing down two opponents in the process. The Thing also has a leap ability he can use to quickly close the gap between him and an enemy. Finally, Grimm gets access to the Fastball Special with Wolverine so you can launch your ally at opponents.
