Marvel Fans Unveil Limitless Meme Potential in Mister Fantastic

Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals fray this past weekend, kicking off Season 1 on January 10th. While Invisible Woman has been generally well-received, Mister Fantastic's unique abilities have sparked a wave of memes and amusement among players.

His elastic powers, designed for both Duelist-style attacks and a tank-like defensive posture, have proven unexpectedly comical. Comparisons to One Piece's Luffy are rampant, fueled by Mister Fantastic's "Elastic Strength" ability. This has even inspired fan-made One Piece skins, despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding.

The humor extends beyond simple comparisons. His "Reflexive Rubber" ability, while strategically useful for redirecting enemy damage, is visually absurd, transforming him into a refrigerator-sized behemoth. This, coupled with his somewhat unusual facial hair, has become a rich source of online jokes and creative edits.

Despite the silliness, many players appreciate Mister Fantastic's character design. One Reddit user commented, "Ngl I think Mr. Fantastic's design encapsulates everything great about this game. He's stupid and silly and cheesy and the game just lets him be that and is better for it."
