Meet the New Heroes:
First up are Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Thing and Human Torch will follow, fulfilling tank and duelist roles respectively, completing the Fantastic Four team-up. This team-up enhances Invisible Woman's healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.
Invisible Woman is a welcome addition to the relatively small support class. Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging enemies and healing allies – ideal for crowd control. While her range is limited, her effectiveness shines in close-quarters combat alongside teammates.

She possesses a unique invisibility mechanic, achieved by abstaining from abilities, attacks, and incoming damage for six seconds. While lengthy, this provides healing during invisibility. A more practical invisibility method is her double jump, a valuable escape tool.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield in front of an ally, offering protection and healing to nearby allies. Strategic repositioning is key to maximizing its effectiveness. She can also pull or push opponents, providing both offensive and defensive options.

A projectile sphere pulls enemies into its area of effect, dealing damage and creating chokepoints. Three consecutive melee attacks push enemies away, though this is often less viable than her other defensive options.

Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team. However, its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Invisible Woman offers a balanced, tactical support role, comparable in effectiveness to established heroes like Luna Snow and Mantis.
Mister Fantastic presents a fun, unconventional playstyle. His medium-range attacks can hit multiple targets with strategic aiming.

His abilities and attacks fill a meter; upon reaching maximum, he transforms into an enhanced form with increased damage and durability. His "Shift" ability absorbs damage for a short duration, then unleashes it as a powerful shot.

He can pull characters, gaining a temporary shield for himself (and inflicting damage on enemies). His right-click extends his arm to restrain opponents, allowing for further manipulation.

His ultimate ability is a leaping area-of-effect attack that slows and damages enemies, potentially repeating if at least one target is hit. While similar to Bucky's ultimate, its effectiveness can vary.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank elements, offering a robust but not overpowered presence.
Both heroes are well-received, showcasing the developers' commitment to unique character design. The anticipation for Thing and Human Torch is high!
