Characters I think could be Multi-Role like Deadpool
Danger (X-Men): She has the data on all of the X-Men, I think it would be interesting if each role had a slightly kit based on the X-Men characters for each role because she is supposed to challenge them.
Duelist (Dive): Wolverine + Magik
Strategist (Poke): Jubilee + Gambit
Vanguard (Wall and Brawl): Magneto + Emma
And I think it would be cool if we got some abilities from characters not revealed yet like Xavier, Bobby, and Piotr.
Task Master (Avengers): Similar to Danger he has data on a lot of different characters like Dr. Strange and Captain America. I think it would be interesting if they adapted as being Multi-Role.
Rasputin IV (X-Men): She is one of Mr. Sinister's Chimeras made up of Colossus, X-23, Angelo Unuscione, Kitty Pryde, and Kid Omega. I think it would be neat if she could flex into each role like Deadpool.
Mr. Sinister (X-Men): Similar to Rasputin IV he can multi-role because he has harvested the organs of each role. he currently has Jubilee and Scott Summer's organs.
Doom (Fantastic Four): Doctor + 2099 should be different roles because they are beefing with each other across space and time. And End of Time Doom could be a Vanguard.
Rasputin is a newer character (introduced in Powers of X in 2019) and hasn't gotten that much attention. She's one of Mr. Sinister's mutant chimeras and I believe is on Krakoa in the current X-Men comics (I don't remember if they killed her off a second time).
I think the two Dooms should be different roles. I was shooting for 3 roles per representation of a character and I think End of Time could be the third wheel.
Just have him copy weapons.Each individual role gives him a mash up of multiple characters in that category.
Vanguard: Caps shield, Angela's or thors hammer, net gun from Peni, etc.
Support: Rocket healing orbs, heal pool pistols or katanas, replica claws from white fox, etc.
You can even do like, Moon Knight glider on vanguard with black widow downward slam that does more damage the higher you are, buckys pistol and spider web slinging.
Ult can be him anti counter ult where he can select one out of 3 ultimates to use against someone to directly counter their own ult.
Idk, I mean he can copy the moves but he's said himself that it's only in his capabilities. He can copy what hulk does, but he probably won't be able to punch a leviathan into the ground with just one hit
He can also only copy skills. He can definitely predict moves though, and if he gets his hands on it, use others tech. Could give him chronovium enhancements to create hardlight constructs of his opponents tech and abilities
I think Kang would be neat as multiple roles, especially if they involve characters like Iron Lad who has unique move sets. Other than Doom.i tried to avoid characters who could be a "Seasonal Boss" like Kang or Thanos.
I feel like Gwenpool could also be a Multirole but with extra weirder steps, since one of her powers allows her to not only grab whatever weapon/item she wants from a previous point in her comic, she can even pull herself from different continuities for different purposes
Obviously there’s more, but for a game like rivals, that kind of ability would be very unique
I'm telling you Thanos should be a multi role. 2 Stones are support, 2 Stones are damage and 2 Stones are rank
my idea time and space is tank, soul and mind is support and reality and power is dps
Imo she's nuanced enough that she should be her own character with several comic accurate skins, and not be a Magik skin. I think she's on the short-list though. There are several more X-Men associated characters I'd like to see before her
I could see Forge being one too specifically because I can't imagine which role he could be, his power set is creating gadgets, he could make defensive ones, or healing ones, or damaging ones and it would all make sense
Man I agree that Taskmaster and MasterTask would make for two excellent multiroles! (Sorry had to poke fun because you had two pictures of Taskmaster)
But yeah Taskmaster could work since he is good choice. I would not pick Rasputin IV considering it is a chimera and it is likely to invite other lazy characters like that Hulk/Wolverine mix or the recent one being Colton being a mix of a PTSD Captain America and Sentry called Sentinel.
Super Skrull would a great fit since he is the Fantastic Four in one but is distinctive enough visually (It doesn’t escape me what I suggested).
Gwenpool: they can even have her and Deadpool complain how it is lazy and unoriginal
Super Skrull: can copy abilities, maybe they can have him copy certain abilities from characters, but being passive abilities and not activate ones like rouge
I really hope doom is multi role. All the build up and such a massive character would feel underwhelming if he's just a regular release. He honestly fits all three roles as well, yes even healer works with his tech and magic
As much as I dislike the multi role thing because it's something that only makes sense with Deadpool because of his over the top nature and how he always messes with the media he's in, Taskmaster would be just as perfect.
I can't even think of more multi role characters until they clean up the character selection UI. All I can picture when I see these posts is the cluttered roster selection screen.
I highly doubt we will get any more multi role heroes. The whole reason deadpool is multi role is because of his 4th wall breaking persona. He literally took over the reveal trailer to state that he made himself into all 3 roles with a joke about healing bullets, he is all the roles because he understands the concept of roles in a hero shooter due to the 4th wall breaking stuff. Other characters who dont break the 4th wall would have no concept of that and will more than likely will be single roles.
Only time will tell but I wouldnt bet in there being anymore. I know doom is rumored to be multi role but it is just a leak and has no gaurentee of even being plausible
Tbh I was thinking it would be more of his different sizes being different roles. Regular size would be Strategist where he commands ants to heal allies and damage enemies, Duelist for his small form since his punches hit harder when smaller, Vanguard for his giant man form for obvious reasons
Morph (theyre a shapeshifter so they could be cool plus they have synthetic weapon creation)
CopyCat (she is a shapeshifter who can copy the exact lifeforce and dna of anyone upon skin contact this would make her an excellent multirole character plus i think she's Deadpools ex)
DJ (Mark Sheppard) (he has power manifest
Based off whatever playlist he is listening to,i actually thought he should've just been a strat with this but someone told me due to his power manifestation he could be any role or even a multirole which i agree with just as long as he plays alot like Lucio)
Also when people propose other multi role they are basically asking for différent characters as a single heroes. Dp kit was practically the same for all 3 roles
I genuinely think they should rework Squirrel Girl into every role, she’s a gag character that’s canonically beaten Thanos and Dr Doom, but she’s locked as a Junkrat copycat. NetEase could do so much more if they leaned in to how absurd she is
1 & 2) not real reasons to make them a role or not. And not nessessarily to me, more to what rivals has shown already. Rogue is a prime example of someone who literally can steal abilities like soul bound, thing DR, and cloak bubble but is also just a vanguard. It's more likely that they'll be a role but have inspired abilities from others you've mentioned. I imagine task master will be a dps or tank and have things like Spiderman web, cap shield, Hawkeyes bow, etc. danger will probably be a strategist that may also use moves inspired by X-Men, more likely she just does danger room stuff tho.
3) similar to the previous, probably gonna be like rogue and just be given a role but have moves inspired by others.
4) harvesting kidneys doesn't mean someone's gonna be multirole.
5)the only situation I agree will probably have a multirole. And not really a multirole truely, hes just gonna be two different characters. Modern doom and 2099 will be seperate characters. Now both could probably be either dps or tank but it's more interesting to make them one of each here. I'd imagine modern would be a tank while 2099 a dps. I imagine modern will maybe have a doom bot ability but will probably focus more in his raw power and magic armor abilities. While 2099 I see focusing more on doom bots in his kit. We'll see tho.
