Marvel Rivals Fans are Stretching Mister Fantastic's Meme Potential to Its Limit

Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals roster this past weekend, kicking off Season 1. While both characters have made a splash, Mister Fantastic's unique abilities have generated a wave of memes and humorous reactions from players.

His elastic powers, particularly his "Elastic Strength" and "Reflexive Rubber" abilities, lend themselves to comical interpretations. Comparisons to One Piece's Luffy are rampant, fueled by his ability to contort his body into absurd shapes. This has even inspired fan-made custom skins, despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding. His "Reflexive Rubber" move, which sees him inflate to refrigerator-sized proportions, is another source of amusement.

The character's design, particularly his new beard (or lack thereof, as some fans have creatively illustrated), has become a focal point of online jokes. Many players find his overall silliness a refreshing element in the game. One Reddit user commented, "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 initial impact has been undeniable. The arrival of The Thing and Human Torch in the latter half of Season 1 is highly anticipated, with fans hoping they'll make equally memorable entrances.
