Who is Mr. Fantastic?

Mr. Fantastic, also known as Reed Richards, is a Marvel Comics superhero famous for his brilliant mind and his ability to stretch his body into almost any shape. He’s the leader of the Fantastic Four, which also includes the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing. Reed gained his powers after a cosmic radiation accident during a space mission, and he uses his genius to tackle everything from alien invasions to scientific mysteries.

Many players think Mr. Fantastic will fit best as a Vanguard, thanks to his crowd control and damage-absorbing abilities. Skills like Reflexive Rubber let him soak up hits, then fling damage right back, which feels very tank-like. At the same time, Flexible Elongation and its bonus health for allies hint at some support potential. His Brainiac Bounce offers strong engagement by smashing into enemies—and doing it multiple times—while Rubber Grip can lock down opponents. Factor in his Elasticity passive, which boosts power and heals him, and you’ve got a hero who can stand on the front lines, disrupt foes, and still lend a hand to teammates. It’s no wonder most fans see him as a Vanguard with a hint of Strategist thrown in.

Mr. Fantastic’s abilities in Marvel Rivals:

  • BRANIAC BOUNCE (Q): Leap and smash, knocking back enemies within range. Upon hitting an enemy, leap again up to six times.
  • REFLEXIVE RUBBER (LSHIFT): Stretch body to absorb damage before launching stored damage in the targeted direction.
  • FLEXIBLE ELONGATION (E): Select a target and dash at it, dealing damage to enemies and granting bonus health to allies.
  • RUBBER GRIP (RIGHT CLICK): Extend arms forward to entangle hit enemies, then press LEFT CLICK to select and yank two more enemies.
  • ELASTIC STRENGTH (PASSIVE): Skills generate Elasticity, boosting attack power. Reaching full Elasticity triggers an Inflated state that restores Health and boosts even more damage.
  • ELASTIC PUNCH (LEFT CLICK): Stretch out a forward punch to attack enemies.
