Marvel Fans Embrace Mister Fantastic's Meme Elasticity

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 hilarious memes.

His elastic powers, designed for both duelist and tank roles, offer a unique gameplay experience. However, his ability to contort his body into unusual shapes has proven incredibly meme-worthy, drawing frequent comparisons to One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy. This has even inspired the modding community to create custom One Piece skins, despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding.

The sheer goofiness of his "Reflexive Rubber" ability, which sees him inflate to refrigerator-sized proportions, is a major source of amusement. His design, some players argue, perfectly embodies the game's playful spirit.

One Reddit user summarized the sentiment perfectly: "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 has undeniably made a memorable first impression. The arrival of The Thing and Human Torch in the latter half of Season 1 is highly anticipated.
