Introducing Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman

Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are now playable, bringing unique gameplay styles to the arena. Thing (tank) and Human Torch (duelist) will round out the Fantastic Four team-up later in the season. The team-up mechanic enhances Invisible Woman's healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.
Invisible Woman: A Versatile Support
The addition of Invisible Woman is a welcome boost to the relatively small selection of support characters.

Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging enemies and healing allies simultaneously – ideal for crowd control. While her range is limited, her effectiveness shines when positioned near teammates.
Invisible Woman's invisibility mechanic, triggered by six seconds of inactivity, offers a defensive option, albeit a situational one, providing healing during its duration. A more reliable escape is her double jump.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield for an ally, best used strategically to protect duelists and those taking damage, providing area healing.

She can both attract and repel opponents, using repulsion for self-defense and attraction to assist allies in engaging enemies. Her area-of-effect sphere pulls enemies in, dealing damage and providing control in choke points.

While her three-hit melee pushback is generally less effective than her other abilities, her ultimate creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team, though its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Invisible Woman offers a balanced and tactically interesting support role, comparable in effectiveness to existing characters like Luna Snow and Mantis.
Mister Fantastic: A Unique Blend of Duelist and Tank
Mister Fantastic presents a unique and entertaining playstyle.

His medium-range attacks can hit multiple targets if aimed correctly. His abilities build a meter, triggering an inflated form with increased damage and durability.

His "Shift" ability allows him to absorb damage for a short period, unleashing it as a powerful counterattack.

He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield for himself and dealing damage to opponents. His right-click stretches his arm to immobilize enemies, allowing for further control.

His ultimate ability involves an area-of-effect attack that slows opponents, and repeats if at least one enemy is hit.

Mister Fantastic occupies a compelling space between duelist and tank, offering strong performance without surpassing the top-tier heroes.
Both Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic demonstrate a commitment to unique character design. The anticipation builds for the arrival of Thing and Human Torch, promising continued excitement throughout the season.
