Marvel Rivals Leaked Roster Expansion: Professor X, Colossus, and More?
A recent leak suggests a significant expansion to the Marvel Rivals roster, with five new heroes potentially joining the 6v6 shooter. This follows previous leaks hinting at characters like Valkyrie and Sam Wilson, fueling excitement within the community.
The latest leak, shared by dataminer X0X_LEAK on Twitter, names Professor X, Jia Jing, Paste Pot Pete, Colossus, and Locus as potential additions. This is particularly exciting for Support players, as Professor X, Jia Jing, and Locus are all reportedly slated for that role. Professor X, the iconic X-Men leader, needs no introduction. Jia Jing, with her fairy wings and rock-like skin, offers unique flying and defensive capabilities. Locus, referencing Rayna Piper, brings teleportation, flight, and energy blasts to the table.
This leak also points to Colossus joining the Vanguard class. His absence from the initial roster has made him a highly anticipated addition, given his popularity and potential in the game. Paste Pot Pete, a notorious villain and member of the Frightful Four, is rumored to be a new Duelist. His long history in Marvel Comics, debuting in 1962 and later adopting the alias Trapster, adds another layer of intrigue.
Potential New Heroes:
- Professor X
- Jia Jing
- Paste Pot Pete
- Colossus
- Locus
While this information remains unconfirmed, the potential addition of well-known characters like Professor X and Colossus has generated considerable buzz. The inclusion of Paste Pot Pete, a familiar antagonist from the Fantastic Four (whose members, Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic, recently joined the game), further strengthens the leak's credibility. However, players are advised to approach this information with caution until official confirmation from the developers. The anticipation, however, is palpable.
