Marvel Rivals has been popping off with a massive influx of players since its release earlier this month on December 6. Fans have been enjoying facing off against each other in typical hero-shooter fashion while playing as their favorite Marvel characters. And so soon after the game’s release, we’ve already gotten information about The Human Torch coming to Marvel Rivals.
We already knew that the Human Torch was coming to Marvel Rivals, but the leaker, who has a solid track record, has shared more than just the existence of the upcoming hero. Not only do we have a detailed list of all of his moves, but a few screenshots as well that show exactly what he will look like in-game. As for his release date, he is expected to arrive as soon as the first season of the game.
Here is a list of all the abilities the Human Torch will have in Marvel Rivals once he joins the cast:
- Plasma Body – Enter a state of accelerated ascent
- Pyro-Prison – Connect flame fields to form a wall of fire that deals burning damage to enemies
- Flaming Meteor – Dive towards the ground and stun nearby enemies
- Blazing Blast – Launch a fireball to create a flame field at the targeted area.
Yes, when he does Plasma Body, the Human Torch can then fly. It isn’t known how well his movement ability will be compared to characters like the Ironman.
Finally, his ultimate is called Supernova, and when used, it unleashes firey shockwaves that deal damage to enemies within its area of effect. This turns your flame field into a fire tornado. As for team tactics, if you have Storm on your team, the player can consume the fire tornado and ignite Storm’s hurricane, further improving its impact.
Netease has already confirmed that all characters in Marvel Rivals are free for everyone to use, this includes all characters that will join the roster in the future. So whenever the Human Torch joins Marvel Rivals, you will be able to try him out for free.
