Marvel Rivals delivers a thrilling hero-shooter experience, boasting diverse character gameplay and stunning visuals. As the game evolves, new characters continuously join the roster, enriching the strategic depth. Season 1 introduces iconic Fantastic Four heroes, with Mister Fantastic leading the charge.

His core strategy revolves around grappling and pulling himself towards allies or enemies, significantly impacting battlefield dynamics. His introduction is sure to reshape the meta and his standing among the game's top duelists across various maps.

Mister Fantastic's Primary Attack
Effective duelists require a strong primary attack. Mister Fantastic's "Stretch Punch," a three-hit combo (two single-fist strikes followed by a double-fist strike), offers surprising versatility. The stretched arm continues to deal damage while traversing targets, impacting multiple enemies with area-of-effect damage potential, similar to Storm's Wind Blade attack.
Mister Fantastic's Abilities
Mister Fantastic possesses a range of potent abilities (best explored in the training room), each contributing to his damage-boosting passive. A fully charged passive makes him a truly formidable opponent. Key stats to monitor include his base health (350) and Elasticity (displayed beneath the crosshair). Each basic attack generates 5 Elasticity; aiming for 100 Elasticity is crucial. His 3-star difficulty rating indicates a moderate learning curve, accessible to both newcomers and experienced players.
Reflexive Rubber
- Active Ability
- 12-second duration
Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing incoming damage. Upon expiration, he unleashes the stored damage in the direction of the player's reticle.
Flexible Elongation
- Active Ability
- 3-second duration
- Generates 30 Elasticity
This ability provides a shield, boosting health from 350 to 425. It pulls Mister Fantastic towards the target, dealing damage to enemies or granting a shield to allies, offering both offensive and defensive utility. Two charges allow for strategic use.
Distended Grip
- Active Ability
- 6-second duration
- Generates 30 Elasticity
This versatile ability allows Mister Fantastic to grapple a target, presenting three options: Dash (pulls him towards the target without a shield), Impact (pulls the grappled enemy towards him, dealing damage), and a double-grapple option (grappling a second nearby enemy and slamming them together).
Wedded Harmony
- Team-Up Ability (requires Invisible Woman)
- 20-second duration
This ability heals Mister Fantastic for lost health (no shield granted), enhancing survivability, particularly effective when used between shield activations. Synergizes well with Invisible Woman, a Strategist character.
Elastic Strength
- Passive Ability
Each ability use builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic undergoes a Hulk-like transformation, significantly boosting damage and providing a substantial shield (which decays after the transformation ends). Failure to deal damage causes Elasticity decay.
Brainiac Bounce
- Ultimate Ability
Mister Fantastic leaps and crashes down, dealing area-of-effect damage, then bounces to repeat the attack, devastating for clustered enemies.
Tips for Mastering Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation, shield access, and powerful passive make him surprisingly tanky for a duelist.
Flexible Reflection Combo
Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides shields for both Mister Fantastic and an ally, allowing for immediate threat absorption and subsequent damage release.
Strategic Use of Reflexive Rubber
While crucial for building Elastic Strength, Reflexive Rubber can also be used strategically outside of passive activation, maximizing his inflated state's damage potential and objective control. Stacking shields can boost his effective health pool to a staggering 950.
