Marvel Rivals is a major undertaking for NetEase Games. The developer is making what appears to be a third-person hero shooter in an Overwatch style. That includes 6v6 PVP combat with a variety of characters filling various niches in the game. Marvel has a vast array of characters, and many of the best and most popular have already made it in with a few exceptions. There are also a reasonable share of surprising picks. Check out the full confirmed roster so far:

Black Panther

Black Panther is a nimble fighter from Wakanda, using a super powered suit to move fast and slash furious with his claws and agility.

Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk

In Marvel Rivals, Bruce Banner is a hybrid character, acting as a damage dealer when in his regular human form, and then hulking out to turn into his big, green, mean self.

Doctor Strange

Doctor Stephen Strange will act as a mage in Marvel Rivals, flinging spells and flying around, delivering assistance and support offense from the air. He can also open portals to get allies to the battlefield faster.

Groot

Rocket Raccoon’s best pal, Groot is a lifeform of living trees capable of manhandling most foes with his twisted roots and tanking big damage with his resilient form.

Iron Man

Like Doctor Strange, Iron Man will be delivering offense from the air, but with a high-tech spin, throwing out repulsor blasts and other suit-equipped ordinance from above.

Loki

The deadly Asgardian trickster Loki brings his deception to the game, striking from the shadows and able to transform into his opponents to copy their skills.

Luna Snow

Luna Snow speeds around like a graceful skater augmented by the power of her icy abilities. She’ll be hard to pin down, but she can also hold you in her frosty embrace for her allies to take you out.

Magik

The Darkchilde of Limbo brings her sword to Marvel Rivals as a formidable fighter. Besides wielding deadly swordplay, Magik can transform into a more powerful form to dish out devastating damage.

Magneto

Leader of the Mutant Brotherhood, Magneto brings the power of magnetism to play, controlling all metals and throwing them with precise control. He can manage the battlefield as another flying damage dealer capable of wide-reaching attacks.

Mantis

A support hero from the Guardians of the Galaxy universe, Mantis can read the emotions of others and imbue them into herself. She can protect friends and allies and do harm to the emotions of others.

Namor

Hero of the seas, Namor wields a deadly trident and has power over water, which he can use to push foes about as he stabs at foes and throws his weapon throughout the field.

Peni Parker

An alternate universe version of Spider-Man, Peni Parker is formidable on her own with superhuman strength to throw around, but when she gets in her psychically-powered mech suit SP//dr, she can really dish out the damage.

Punisher

A hard-as-nails vigilante willing to go the distance to make sure the unjust pay, Punisher comes to Marvel Rivals as a gun-slinging brawler just as capable of slugging his foes as he is at hitting a shot with perfect efficiency.

Rocket Raccoon

Diminutive animal genius and best friend of Groot, Rocket Raccoon is packing enough firepower to kill opponents four times his size with enough gadgetry to get away when the fight gets too wild.

Scarlet Witch

Wielding deadly sorcery, Scarlet Witch bends reality to her will and can render enemies useless as she unleashes her deadly magic in wide swaths on the battlefield.

Spider-Man

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man comes to Marvel Rivals with all of his agility intact, including web-slinging abilities that allow him to zip to foes and limit their actions as he pummels them into submission.

Star Lord/Peter Quill

The leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy is a flippant crack shot. Star Lord can zip around the map with his jet boosters and deliver high-octane offense with his twin blasters.

Storm

One of the most popular X-Men, Storm wields the power of wind, clouds, and lightning, flinging opponents about and striking them with the power of the elements.
