The launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 introduces players to a new map, Midtown, a setting that many Marvel fans will recognize from various projects set in New York City. However, *Marvel Rivals* has sprinkled some delightful Easter eggs throughout Midtown for fans to discover. Let's dive into every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals* and explore what they signify.
Every Marvel Rivals Midtown Easter Egg & What They Mean
The Baxter Building
It's no surprise that the Baxter Building, home to Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, makes an appearance in Midtown. Given that the Fantastic Four are the focus of Season 1, players start the game within this iconic structure, adding an exciting touch to the gameplay.
Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower
As players venture out from their spawn point, they can spot both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower amidst the cityscape. Oscorp Tower is the headquarters of Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, while Avengers Tower serves as the base for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Interestingly, in the *Marvel Rivals* storyline, Season 1's villain, Dracula, has taken control of Avengers Tower, adding a thrilling twist to the narrative.
Fisk Tower
Wilson Fisk, known as Kingpin, is another major Marvel villain with a significant presence in Midtown. His tower is easily noticeable as players navigate the map. However, this shouldn't be taken as a hint that his arch-nemesis, Daredevil, will soon join the game.
F.E.A.S.T.
The F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a homeless shelter that supports New York's residents, also features in Midtown. Though not a prominent element in the comics, it's well-known from the *Marvel's Spider-Man* video games, where May Parker plays a significant role until her tragic demise due to Devil's Breath.

Dazzler
*Marvel Rivals* pays homage to X-Men fans with a Dazzler Easter egg in Midtown. In this version of Earth, Dazzler appears to be on tour, potentially challenging another pop star, Luna Snow. While it's unclear if NetEase plans to include Dazzler in the game, this Easter egg suggests she might make an appearance in the future.
Heroes for Hire
Advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known as the "Heroes for Hire," can be found in Midtown. These street-level heroes are known for their efforts to save New York, often for a fee. Although they don't appear directly on the map, their presence suggests they might not be far off.
Roxxon Energy
New York is home to more than just heroes in the Marvel Universe. Players can spot ads for Roxxon Energy, a corporation notorious for its nefarious activities. Roxxon often employs villains to do its dirty work, including battling heroes.
A.I.M.
Another evil organization, A.I.M., is looking to establish a foothold in New York in *Marvel Rivals*. Originally a branch of Hydra, A.I.M. has since gone independent, creating bizarre creatures like M.O.D.O.K. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, A.I.M. is led by Aldrich Killian, who unsuccessfully tried to pitch his think tank idea to Tony Stark.
Bar With No Name
Villains seeking respite from their battles can head to the Bar With No Name, a notorious safe haven for baddies found in major cities across the Marvel Universe. The bar's mysterious origins add to its intrigue.
Van Dyne
Even heroes need to promote their brands, and one of the Van Dynes is doing just that with a fashion boutique advertisement in Midtown. Although the ad doesn't show them, it's likely that either the original Wasp, Janet, or her MCU counterpart, Hope, is behind this venture.
That wraps up every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals*. For those eager to explore more, here are all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to achieve them.
