Mister Fantastic
Fantastic!Mister Fantastic Front-line Brawler
Ian James Corlett
Mister Fantastic is a unique duelist in Marvel Rivals, combining aspects of both duelist and vanguard playstyles. His kit revolves around his elastic abilities, allowing him to control space, absorb damage, and disrupt enemy formations. His versatile abilities make him effective at both initiating fights and protecting allies, while his passive allows him to scale in power throughout engagements.
Mister Fantastic thrives in team compositions that can follow up on his crowd control, particularly when paired with Invisible Woman, who grants him damage resistance and bonus health through their team-up ability. However, his hybrid playstyle requires careful positioning and ability management to be effective, making him more suitable for experienced players.
How to play Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals
To play Mister Fantastic effectively, focus on building Elasticity through consistent ability usage while maintaining strategic positioning. Use Elastic Punch as your primary attack to deal damage at medium range, taking advantage of your stretching abilities to hit enemies from unexpected angles. Follow up with Rubber Grip to grab and slam enemies together, creating opportunities for your team to follow up with damage.
Reflexive Rubber is one of your most powerful defensive tools, allowing you to absorb incoming damage and redirect it back at enemies. This ability makes you particularly effective against high-burst damage heroes like Iron Man, whose ultimate can be deflected. Use Flexible Elongation to dash toward targets while providing bonus health to allies, making it both an offensive and supportive tool.
Mister Fantastic excels at disrupting enemy formations and creating opportunities for his team. His ability to absorb and redirect damage while providing utility through bonus health and crowd control makes him one of the most self-sufficient duelists in the game. When played correctly, he can be a significant threat to both backline supports and frontline tanks alike.
