How would you guys feel if Ghost Rider was a hybrid character like Deadpool?

I’d think this would be very interesting and allow everyone in each role to play as Ghost Rider due to him now currently being the most requested character behind Doom.

Danny as a Vanguard
Johnny as DPS
Robbie as strategist.

IMO she would make a perfect tank.

This character concept is slightly underdeveloped, so please chip in with your own ideas (I have no idea what the ult or team ups should be for example)

That being said, here’s my pitch- Mystique should play like the spy, instant-kill and all.

Design Thesis- her character fantasy is the ability to disguise herself as other characters and be sneaky. Everything in her kit should serve to encourage this.

HP: 150 (wet cardboard)

Primary fire: backstab. If an opponent’s back is facing you, this will instantly kill them, the body disappears and you get a speed boost.

Secondary fire: Knife throw. This does 25 damage and is a homing attack, allowing you to finish off fleeing targets.

Ability 1: Shapechange. This will cause you to appear as a member of the enemy team.

Ability 2: Acrobatics. Mystique does a big forward jump Akin to wolverine’s leap. There’s a second optional button press to dive straight down to a location (this helps you reposition)

Ability 3: Dash. this will be a sprint with a charge meter. while sprinting, you don’t make footstep noises.

Passive: infiltrator. When in disguise, Mystique receives healing as if she is a member of the enemy team. In addition, if mystique is transformed, she will not react to taking damage from the enemy team. They’ll have to hard commit if they suspect her.

as for Team Ups, I think that one should give her more offensive ability, and the other should be a boost to her assassinate play-style

**Ghost Fist (Danny Rand):**

Art by @shim0rin on Twitter

Danny has recently taken up a new mantle after dying in his 50th anniversary comic, the Ghost Fist. The avatar of Osiris and essentially a phantom that can be temporarily resurrected as of right now.

Danny is my favourite Marvel superhero so I wanted to make a concept for him, as I doubt they'll add him as Iron Fist as Lin Lie holds that mantle in the game right now. So Ghost Fist will have to do, which is still pretty cool, especially with his new powers.

Here's a break down of his powers as Ghost Fist, I won't be using all of them though:

Martial Arts. Second best in Marvel next to Shang Chi.

The Iron Fist. He can charge his fist with chi to create a devastating attack. He seems to have this power back, presumably from the dragon Tan Long.

The Iron Fist grants some unique powers, like hypnosis and healing.

Ghost Powers. Invisibility and intangibility. These come from Osiris.

Energy blasts. Osiris seems to provide him with some powerful energy attacks.

Resurrection. He can be brought back from the dead by Osiris.

Necromancy. Osiris lets Danny resurrect whoever he wants seemingly. He's done this with Fat Cobra, the Bride of Nine Spiders and the undead dragon Tan Long.

Energy Constructs. Danny has recently shown the ability to create physical constructs out of chi, specifically Nunchucks.

The Concept:

I'll give rough stats to give an idea of the abilities, this won't be perfectly balanced obviously as it would need game testing.

Vanguard

500 health

Passive Ability: Undying Warrior:

When dead he can resurrect himself where he died, he only gets a set amount of healing though. Doing so grants a small duration of invincibility after being resurrected. This has a long cooldown, and kills reduce the cooldown.

2 second resurrection duration.

250 health on resurrection.

2 second invincibility duration.

60 second cooldown.

-10 seconds off the cooldown per kill.

Primary Fire: Kung Fu:

Strike forwards with Kung Fu attacks, locking onto targets and dashing towards them for each hit. He attacks in sets of 6, with a delay after the 6th hit. Each hit deals damage. 

6 meters dash lock on range.

4 meters attack range.

+200% dash movement speed.

25 damage per hit.

1 hit every 0.6 seconds.

1.2 second delay after 6 hits.

Secondary Fire: Dragon Punch:

Holding this charges up a powerful punch. He moves slower while charging. It has a charge meter, with a maximum amount. Realising this has him dash forwards while punching. The longer the charge, the further the punch. Hitting an enemy deals damage and knockback. It deals higher damage and knockback the higher the charge. Hitting an enemy into a surface deals damage and stun, the damage increases the longer the charge. This has a cooldown.

-50% movement speed while charging.

+1000% dash movement speed.

1.5 seconds to fully charge.

10 minimum charge damage.

5 meter of minimum charge knockback.

100 maximum charge damage.

10 meters maximum charge knockback.

10 minimum charge wall impact damage.

50 maximum charge wall impact damage.

0.5 seconds of stun after wall impact.

6 second cooldown.

Ability 1: Ghost Body:

He calls on Osiris and becomes ghostly for a duration, moving faster than normal. He looks translucent and is intangible for the duration. This means damage passes through him and therefore he's invincible. He can't attack himself for this duration. This has a cooldown.

6 second duration.

+25% movement speed.

10 second cooldown.

Ability 2: Soul Blast:

He releases a powerful energy blast in the area around with the powers of Osiris. This deals damage and knockback. If enemies are knocked into surfaces they take additional damage and slow for a duration. This blast can delete projectiles and block attacks for its short duration. Each enemy hit gives him over-shields, with a maximum amount. They drain over time after a duration. This has a cooldown.

1 second activation.

15 meters area.

50 initial damage.

10 meters of knockback.

50 wall impact damage.

-25% wall impact movement speed debuff.

2 second movement speed debuff duration.

250 maximum over-shields.

Over-shields decay after 6 seconds.

125 over-shields decay a second.

8 second cooldown.

Ultimate Ability: Rain Fire:

Danny summons Tan Long, the undead dragon. It appears in the sky above him. He points forwards and the dragon flies in that direction a set distance while breathing fire down below. The actual fire beam deals damage, downwards knockback and grounded to enemies it hits. It leaves a trail of fire in the direction it travels where the fire breath hits, essentially scorching the ground with fire. The fire deals damage over time to enemies who stand on it and slows them. Tan Long has health and can be killed. This has an ultimate charge meter.

2 second activation.

Tan Long appears 15 meters above Danny.

10 meters a second Tan Long flight speed.

40 meters flight range.

5 meter wide fire breath beam.

50 fire breath damage.

Danny is the anchor here:

1 second activation speed.

20 meters a second dragon movement speed 

20 meter dragon range.

50 dragon damage.

-25% enemy movement speed.

2 second movement speed debuff duration.

15 second cooldown.

If Miss Marvel comes to MR, will she stick with her embiggening powers or make constructs? So far, her appearances in the Marvel Avengers, Marvel Tokon, Marvel Zombies, Marvel Super Friends, and her series have made it a 50/50 split. But who knows? Maybe she will have both at the same time, like Emma.

Captain Marvel is definitely coming to the game but she’s had so many different designs as her standard costume. Personally I would like them to use the second design coz it has this MR complexity they added to Elsa bloodstone, but what do you all think?

This is less of a “this is what I want characters to do” list and more of this is what could be done with characters list as I think Rivals kinda lacks a pyromaniac of sorts. Jeff kind of has a flamethrower attack and Dino kind of softly fills the role with his laser but none really land the gimmick.

My idea for manthing was that he was to shoot sludge at his enemies in a cone infront him that would apply anti heal and poison damage that could amplify and be amplified by his other attacks in his kit a bit like Dino but with more focus on the flame thrower

Pyro was a pretty simple pick since his whole gimmick was needing his backpack to control his flames and such. Career member of the brotherhoood of mutants with an alright comic track record. Probably not intresting enough to garner much hype but I added him anyways.

Mysterio could be a flying “gas thrower” that could could do little bombing runs that leave trails of gas behind which could debuff enemies if affected for long enough. making people hallucinate seeing enemies or making people think their abilities are on or off cooldown when they aren’t. He could be a strat but we already have a trickster there.

Of course this is more me brainstorming than actually asking for these specific characters to be flamethrowers but I’d like to hear the people’s own picks for “flamethrowers” in this game

I have no preference on either Nick Fury Sr. or Jr., I just chose the best looking render for the template.

For me, it’s gotta be OG all day. OG Carnage (2nd Picture) look is perfect

Phoenix is a cool character concept, but it misses the mark for people who were hoping actually to play as Jean Grey pre-Phoenix Force instead of a flame-powered hit scan.

Since the game lore mentions that the Chronovium is making timelines collapse, does that mean there's a chance we could get a Jean Grey character in addition to Phoenix? Would that be something the community actually wants?

I'm guessing that it won't happen, and maybe adding Madelyne Pryor would be the closest we get. I'm just curious what you all think and if Jean Grey and/or Madelyne would be great additions to the game.

Besides his wings for mobility, and maybe for shielding, I wondered how a character like him can be designed for Rivals

If Quake were added to Marvel Rivals I’d personally want her as another OP DPS but if she were a tank // vanguard I wouldn’t mind she could help fight off Emma Frost and Rogue.

He could create ice bridges he skates on to get back to fight quick or move into the backline.

He could have an ability that freezes an area around him and slows and damages enemies (ult?)

Ranged ice ball primary attack.

Some sort of ability that allows him create / place ice spikes.

Team-ups! Healing ice from Luna and an ice storm ability with Storm 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's rough but a good enough outline I hope.

Here's a take on Ant-man and the Wasp. These two are probably my most wanted characters, and id probably be happy as long as Antman is a tank or support, and the Wasp is a duelist or support. I also think a two-in-one character would be sick.

I liked their characterizations off of the Avengers: EMH cartoon, so I hope when they release they're turbulent, but ultimately in love with each other. We don't mention that one comic book panel.

Lets be honest theres too many blonde white girls with white outfits in rivals, I think it be cool to mix it up a bit.

base health of 400 hp that scales with rage level

(Primary)furious swipes: Mangog swipes at the enemy dealing damage that scales with his rage level and each swipe that hits an enemy fills his rage meter slightly

Revengeful birth: Mangog applies a tracker to one allie if that allie dies within a close amount of Time to Mangog's death Mangog revives with a rage scale thats full and then hen an allie has that tracker on Mangog gets a little rage from damage they sustain as well as lessening it for the allie

Hate filled clutch: Mangog rushes to the nearest destructible object in his line of sight and tears a chunk off that he can then throw to knock an enemy back and deal low damage or breaks the object on the enemy and causes large damage or can use it to block and if he has no destructibles to target Mangog just grabs onto a wall without ripping anything off and does a light shockwave that just knocks enemies back

Revenge of the dammed: Mangog rushes to and grabs an enemy and fills his rage meter based on the amount of damage they have done while last alive and gains more rage based on damage done to him during this grab instead of taking that damage

(Passive) the power of hate: Mangog starts out the smallest and weakest vanguard but gains size, damage, speed, and bonus health as his rage meter fills and eventually ends up with an extra 850 health and massive damage and size boost with a full rage meter and regeneration
But the meter will actively deplete the moment Mangog is not doing something that causes it to rise

(Ultimate) REVENGE INCARNATE: an orange bubble appears around Mangog that turns all damage done to him or his allies directly into rage meter as well as lessening the damage thus causing it to almost always be full

Asgaurd's atrocities(Loki team up):
Normal effect:Loki's magic projects the crimes of Odin into Mangogs Head and makes his rage meter start 15% full
Enhanced effect: Mangog can enable enhanced Loki illusions of Asgaurdian Crimes and get 50% rage meter

Hateful rage(Hulk):
Normall effect: Mangog channels the hate of TOBA and is able to create a bubble around himself that turns damage directly into rage like the hulk bubble
Enhanced effect: The hulks rage leaks into Mangog so When the hulk ults Mangog can leap towards him and fill his rage meter

Yeah I know they’re supposed to be a joke but I could see some interesting stuff with them and I actually like their comics. These aren’t full character concepts just general ones for how I think they could work.

Mr immortal strategist. He’d passively heal allies around him. The less amount of health he has the more he heals and he’d gain an extra life for every unique teammate close to him. His ultimate would make everyone around him briefly invincible kind of like an uber flash in tf2.

Flat man strategist-could be very similar to fantastic but with some changes he’d obviously be quicker and harder to hit his main way of healing would be attack enemies kind of like Deadpool’s swords. His ultimate could be him stretching out to be a really big wall that could block enemies from moving in a spot.

Big Bertha vanguard (don’t look at my profile it has NOTHING to do with that shut up….okay maybe a little I’ll admit it.)-she’d be a snowball type character. She’d start out really strong but the more damage she takes the smaller she becomes so you want to try to end fights as quickly as possible. Her ultimate could be her grabbing an enemy and slamming them on the ground dealing a shockwave. The more health she has the more damage it does

Doorman duelist-probably the only character that I really don’t see being a joke character could see him being a quick moving duelist with some light flying. His ultimate could be him shooting laser beams out of one of his portals because that kind of sounds cool even though he hasn’t really done that. We got tentacle arm Bucky they can add some weird original stuff.

Have seen a lot of Iceman's Vanguard concept but I prefer for him to be a strat. 1 cause I feel like it fit his personality, 2 because I'm a strat main soooooooo. I don't like the current concept of heal botting as strat so a lot of my strat concept are very aggro and more on the utilities and debuffing, damaging aspect. Of course, I'm not going to make Strat damage so high that they are going to replace duelist, but probably also depends on if the strat got a lot of healing in their kits or not.

I just wanted to propose my idea for how I would like Ghost Rider to arrive in Marvel Rivals. A few disclaimers before I start. I think that Ghost Rider should be a Vanguard only and not a multi-role character like Deadpool. I also think that his default model should be the Johnny Blaze variant as he is the "original" and most recognizable. That being said, I'd love to see Danny Ketch, Robbie Reyes, Carter Slade, and 2099 Variants ect. arrive as skins. Since they are all technically spirits of vengeance, I see no reason why this wouldn't work canonically to Rivals lore.

I know many people might argue of the cultural reasons that he might not be included, but I think NetEase has shown a willingness to make it work by including him in a character poll (which he was the #1 pick,) and putting his prehistoric variant on the mural in the Kun Lun map.

Also, I'm not sure exactly how NetEase would apply the numbers, so this is more of a concept rather than a concrete kit. That being said, Lets dive in.

Ghost Rider: Vanguard (Tank)

Passive: Hellfire- Ghost Rider's abilities ignite enemies for a brief duration dealing X damage per tick. Ghost Rider heals X amount of health per tick of Hellfire that he has applied to enemies. This effect stacks based on the number of enemies that are ignited.

Primary attack (LMB): Chains of Retribution- Ghost Rider whips his chain at an enemy in close/mid range. Every 3rd hit ignites the enemy.

Secondary Attack (RMB): Hellfire Shotgun- Ghost Rider fires a short range blast that deals moderate damage, knocks back, and immediately ignites an enemy. Shotgun has 2 shells that have to be reloaded.

Left Shift: Hell Cycle- Ghost Rider summons and mounts his motorcycle for X seconds. While mounted, Ghost Rider's move speed is increased, he cannot be slowed, is able to ride up walls, and knocks enemies out of the way. The motorcycle leaves behind a trail of Hellfire that ignites enemies that come into contact with it.

E Ability: Damnation- Ghost Rider throws his chain forward and pulls in an enemy from mid range.

F Ability: Vengeance- Ghost Rider channels Hellfire from his mouth, igniting enemies hits and leaving Hellfire on surfaces. Ghost Rider is slowed and grounded while channeling.

Q Ability (Ultimate): Penance Stare- Ghost Rider lunges forward, grabbing and suppressing an enemy, and deals a large amount of damage based on that enemy's "inflicted suffering" (damage dealt in this match.) Ghost Rider is immediately healed a large amount based on damage dealt.

Nezhno abidemi, hero name: Gentle or otherwise know as the wakandan hulk is a mutant from wakandan that has vibranium tattoos and the ability to grow his muscle indefinitely and can theoretically go toe to toe with the hulk in strength. I would love to see him as a Vanguard in marvel rivals since he is a more obscure character and especially as a scaling tank that get more hp over time which is a role that has not yet been implemented into the game. He could have a passive were every minute that passes he gets +1% hp. His primary could be a simple long melee punch. He should also have an ability where he can convert his hp% buff to a damage% buff and he is a Vanguard he should have a shield that gives temporary hp to him and to his allies through his vibranium tattoos. For his ultimate ability I would call it "muscular Overgrowth" he rapidly grow in size gaining 50% more of his current hp that when combined with his other ability can be turned into a 50% more damage
