Marvel Rivals Rumored to Add Five New Heroes, Including Professor X and Colossus!
A new leak suggests a significant expansion to the Marvel Rivals roster, with five potential additions: Professor X, Colossus, Jia Jing, Paste Pot Pete, and Locus. This exciting news follows previous leaks hinting at the arrival of characters like Valkyrie and Sam Wilson, fueling anticipation within the 6v6 shooter community.
The leak, shared by dataminer X0X_LEAK on Twitter, details the potential roles of these new heroes. Professor X, Jia Jing, and Locus are speculated to bolster the Support class, while Colossus is expected to join the Vanguards, and Paste Pot Pete (also known as Trapster) will likely fill a Duelist role.
Professor X, the iconic leader of the X-Men, requires no introduction. Jia Jing, with her fairy wings and rock-like skin, offers unique flight and defensive capabilities. Locus, potentially referring to Rayna Piper, boasts teleportation, flight, and energy blast powers. Colossus, a highly requested character, brings his considerable strength and popularity to the Vanguard class. Finally, Paste Pot Pete, a veteran Marvel villain and member of the Frightful Four, adds another intriguing antagonist to the Duelist lineup, following the recent addition of the Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic.
Potential New Heroes:
- Professor X (Support)
- Jia Jing (Support)
- Paste Pot Pete/Trapster (Duelist)
- Colossus (Vanguard)
- Locus (Support)
While this information remains unconfirmed, the prospect of adding such well-known and powerful Marvel characters is generating considerable excitement among players. The leak's credibility is uncertain, so players should approach this news with a degree of caution. However, the inclusion of fan-favorite characters like Professor X and Colossus significantly increases the likelihood of this leak being accurate. The addition of Paste Pot Pete also makes sense given the recent introduction of the Fantastic Four characters. The community eagerly awaits official confirmation from the developers.
