Mr. Fantastic's Meme Stretches to Epic Proportions!

Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals fray this past weekend, kicking off Season 1 on January 10th. While Invisible Woman's reception has been generally positive, Mister Fantastic's unique abilities have sparked a wave of memes and amusement among players.

His elastic powers, designed for both dueling and tanking roles, are proving surprisingly goofy. His ability to contort his body into unusual shapes has drawn comparisons to One Piece's Luffy, fueling fan-made content despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding. One particularly popular meme revolves around his new beard, or rather, the lack thereof in some players' creative interpretations.

His "Reflexive Rubber" ability, while strategically useful for redirecting enemy damage, is visually comical. The sheer size Mister Fantastic attains while using this move – likened to a refrigerator – adds to the comedic effect.

The community's response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many embracing the character's inherent silliness. One Reddit user perfectly summed it up: "Ngl I think Mr. Fantastic's design encapsulates everything great about this game. He's stupid and silly and cheesy and the game just lets him be that and is better for it."

While his long-term popularity remains to be seen, Mister Fantastic's debut has undeniably left a mark. The arrival of The Thing and Human Torch in the latter half of Season 1 is highly anticipated, with fans hoping for equally memorable introductions.
