Marvel Heroes Unveiled: Exclusive First Look

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 earlier 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 five additions. This is particularly exciting for Support mains, as Professor X, Jia Jing, and Locus are all rumored to fill this role. Professor X, the iconic leader of the X-Men, requires no introduction. Jia Jing, with her fairy wings and rock-like skin, offers unique flight and defensive capabilities. Locus, potentially referring to Rayna Piper, brings teleportation, flight, and energy blasts to the game.

The leak also points to Colossus joining the Vanguard class. His absence from the initial roster has made him a highly anticipated addition, given his popularity and potential in the game. Paste Pot Pete, a notorious villain and former member of the Frightful Four, is speculated to be the new Duelist. His long history in Marvel Comics, debuting in 1962 and later adopting the alias Trapster, adds another layer of intrigue. His inclusion is particularly interesting given the recent addition of the Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic Four.

While there's no official confirmation from the developers, the potential addition of these well-known Marvel characters has generated significant excitement among players. The leak should be treated with caution, but the prospect of Professor X, Colossus, and other intriguing characters joining the fray is certainly captivating.
