Marvel Rivals Rumored to Add Five New Heroes, Including Professor X and Colossus!
A fresh leak suggests that Marvel Rivals, the popular 6v6 shooter, 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 fan speculation.
The latest leak, originating from dataminer X0X_LEAK on Twitter, details the potential additions. Professor X, the iconic X-Men leader, and Colossus, the powerhouse mutant, are particularly noteworthy additions. The leak also introduces Jia Jing, a flying character with rock-like durability; Paste Pot Pete, a Duelist and former Frightful Four member also known as Trapster; and Locus, potentially referring to the teleporting and energy-blasting Rayna Piper. This diverse group promises to significantly enhance the game's strategic depth, with Professor X, Jia Jing, and Locus potentially bolstering the Support class. Colossus is expected to join the Vanguard ranks.
The inclusion of Colossus is especially exciting for fans. His absence from the initial lineup has been a point of discussion, and his considerable strength and popularity make him a highly anticipated addition. Paste Pot Pete's inclusion is also intriguing, given the recent addition of the Fantastic Four's Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic.
While these additions remain unconfirmed, the anticipation among Marvel Rivals players is palpable. The prospect of Professor X, Colossus, and other compelling characters joining the fray is certainly enough to get fans excited about the future of the game. Remember, however, to treat this information as speculation until official confirmation from the developers.
