Recently, a well-known Marvel Rivals streamer highlighted a curious omission in the game’s description of the Fastball Special team-up ability. This discovery has sparked speculation among fans that NetEase Games might be hinting at Colossus joining the game. With Marvel Rivals being on the cusp of concluding its inaugural season, anticipation is high for what Season 1 might bring. Players are eagerly speculating about potential new characters, maps, and game modes, even though official details are still under wraps.
Currently, in Marvel Rivals, the Fastball Special is a team venture involving Wolverine and Hulk. When activated, Hulk hoists Wolverine and hurls him toward foes, allowing him to rapidly close the distance between himself and enemies. The community is buzzing with hopes for more X-Men characters, with many fans expressing their desire for a Wolverine-Gambit duo akin to the beloved pairing from the X-Men ’97 animated series.
A recent TikTok video by flats_ow uncovered that the description for the Fastball Special mentions “Wolverine can interact with Hulk or,” leaving an unidentified partner. This omission has led fans to speculate about the potential appearance of Colossus, considering the historical team-up between Wolverine and Colossus in various media. However, some leaks suggest that the original intention might have been a trio team-up with Wolverine, Hulk, and The Thing. The Thing is rumored to join Marvel Rivals as a Vanguard, aligning with Hulk’s role when performing the Fastball Special.
While fans have previously unearthed potential characters by scouring the game’s files, some in the community believe NetEase Games deliberately embedded a clue for observant players. While this could indeed be true, others argue it may simply be a text oversight. Regardless, the speculation is providing plenty of fuel for fan theories and discussions.
Adding to the excitement is the anticipation of a rumored team-up move between Human Torch and Storm. A leaked details outline Human Torch’s capabilities, revealing his potential to work with Storm to unleash fiery tornadoes on the battlefield. Furthermore, Human Torch appears to be crafted as a Duelist, equipped to deploy flame walls to control zones and disrupt opponents. As Season 1 looms and the rumor mill continues to churn, fans are eagerly awaiting to see what new developments Marvel Rivals has in store.
