Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman lead the charge, bringing their distinct powers to the battlefield. Thing (tank) and Human Torch (duelist) will round out the Fantastic Four team-up later in the season. The Team-Up mechanic enhances Invisible Woman's healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.
Invisible Woman
Invisible Woman provides much-needed support in the current roster.

Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging enemies and healing allies—ideal for crowd control. However, her limited range necessitates close proximity to teammates.
She can turn invisible by abstaining from abilities, attacks, and taking damage for six seconds – a situational tactic due to the lengthy duration. Invisibility provides healing. A more practical invisibility strategy involves her double jump, offering a swift escape from danger.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield in front of an ally, best used for protecting duelists and strategically repositioned to aid injured teammates, providing area healing.

She can both attract and repel opponents. Repelling serves primarily for defensive maneuvers, while attracting aids allies in engaging enemies.

A projectile sphere pulls enemies into its area of effect, dealing damage and proving effective for blocking chokepoints and damaging groups. Three consecutive melee attacks push enemies away, though this is often less effective than repelling or escaping with a double jump.

Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team. However, its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.
Invisible Woman offers a balanced support character, comparable in effectiveness to Luna Snow and Mantis, though mastering her tactical abilities requires practice.
Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic offers a unique and entertaining playstyle.

His medium-range attacks can hit multiple targets if aimed correctly.

His abilities and attacks fill a meter. Upon reaching maximum, he transforms into an inflated form, significantly increasing damage and durability.

His "Shift" ability allows him to absorb damage for a short duration, then unleashing it in a powerful shot.

He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield, providing a shield to allies or inflicting damage on enemies. This is useful for battlefield repositioning and survivability.

His right-click extends his arm to immobilize opponents, allowing him to pull them closer or grab another enemy for a combined aerial throw.

His ultimate ability is an area-of-effect attack that damages and slows opponents, repeating if at least one target is hit. While similar to Bucky's ultimate, it's often less effective.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank elements, proving strong but not quite reaching the top tier heroes.
Both heroes are well-received, showcasing the developers' commitment to unique character design. The anticipation for Thing and Human Torch is high.
