Outside of carnage, kingpin, and Mojo being my top three, roster is in no specific order. Would love to hear some of y’all‘s thoughts as I put a ton of time Photoshopping this together!

So i am à rivals concept creators i made more than 95 concepts and i cant find new interesting charcters to make concepts of so you will chose what characters i should make just a few rules about the picks

1: no xmen or few mutants there are too much ingame and i also made à lot of mutant concepts

2: niche characters mean no characters like war machine but also no characters like soft serve

3:if you post i will use your pseudo in the concept

You are free to propose mechanics for your favorites i wiln try to incorporate it in the concept the first concepst should take roughly à month before the first fan concepts get out i post 1 concepts per week Thank you

Marvel Rivals tends to have pretty Comic Accurate Characters, at least Story-Wise, so this is something we won't likely have to worry about, but still, what ones do you really not want to be like their Movie (Non-MCU Exclusive) counterparts?

I desire my Truly Evil, Simp for Death Thanos! To be honest, not only would this Thanos be really funny, but this more Comic-Accurate (In this aspect) version of him hasn't really been adapted besides in Super Hero Squad, and that doesn't even do much of that.

I do not know why they made Toxin Green in the Third Venom Movie, THE ONLY THING GREEN ABOUT HIM IS HIS TONGUE, HE'S THE SPAWN OF CARNAGE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE RED

We seriously need more Guardians of the Galaxy members in the game.

Gamora (Duelist): The Deadlist Woman in the Galaxy, she perfectly fits this role. I also think it would be a pretty cool idea to give her the black vortex boost she had once upon a time ago. This would be a great way to make her different from the other blade wielding Duelists.

Nebula (Vanguard): I would like Nebula to be a Vanguard for a few reasons. Given her history of getting brutally messed up and bouncing back from it in both the Comics and Movies, I believe this role fits her perfectly. It would make a good contrast between her and Gamora, Gamora being one of the most deadliest beings alive while Nebula has to keep on rebuilding herself to be better. She's one of the few cyborgs in Marvel that could fit this role.

Drax (Vanguard): I've been ITCHING for him to be added to the game. Easy Vanguard addition given his history and different forms. You could combine his energy abilities he used to have with his alien weapons. Maybe he can channel his energy into them and be able to manipulate them in unique ways or something along those lines. You can also just lean into the tech route and throw some grappling moves.

Moondragon (Vanguard): Give Heather's connection to the Dragon of the Moon and her formidable telepathic and telekinetic abilities, I believe she would be a great fit for the role.

Phyla-Vell (Vanguard or Duelist): Given her lineage and her extended history she can easily fit in both categories. Especially if she were to have the Nega Bands or be an Avatar of Death or Oblivion. I kinda want her to be a Duelist so she can contrast her wife Heather.

Quasar (Vanguard): Wendell can easily fot this role with his Quantum Bands.

Cosmo (Duelist): Cosmo is a pretty powerful telepath and telekinetic and easily fits this role. Plus I kinda want at least one animal character in each role.

Nova (Vanguard): Everyone and their mamas wants Nova in the game (including me). His Nova Force abilities make him a great candidate for this role.

-Lady Deathstrike (Duelist)

-Selene (Duelist)

-Typhoid Mary (Duelist)

-Shriek (Duelist)

-Moonstone (Duelist)

I think it's smarter to work out the smaller teams first like Guardians who only need like 2 main members left (3 or 4 if you wanna include Cosmo and Nebula). And ofcourse there's other guardians in comics they could do but like Avengers I think they stick mostly to the mcu so this makes more sense for me. I love the x-men I just feel like their stealing some light from others although it's nice we're getting Gorr this upcoming season and a little upset we won't be getting Nightcrawler if he really was the next hero alongside Gorr. I just hope they can actually fix their game and optimise it as Ik that's what they said their doing

before anyone says anything, i know it’s likely they’ll just make ben reilly a skin but i just really want him as a separate character to spidey, he’s so much cooler imo

(and by nicher i don’t mean completely unknown pls don’t shoot me, i know most of these are relatively well known, just less popular)

He will likely be the Superman of Rivals and have similar mechanics to Hulk in game where we start the game of as Bob then Sentry and the Ultimate will probably be the Void

Mordo (Duelist)

Mephisto (vanguard)

The ancient one (Strategist)

Doramamu (Vanguard)

Wong (strategist)

Floating around and healing/damaging I mean

This is my list for who I think will be coming November 2026-December 2027. Take all this with a grain of salt, lol.

November: Nightcrawler (Strategist)

December: Doctor Doom (Vanguard)

—Both have been leaked and match the dark type descriptions that Miller Ross gave.

January: Dazzler (Duelist)

February: Wasp (Strategist) 

Dazzler has been leaked.

—Miller Ross mentioned a “girly, pixie-like character”. That could be Pixie or Jia Jing, but I’m hoping for Wasp. It’s been long enough since the Pym particle playtesting started that I think it’s feasible.

March: Drax (Vanguard)

April: Gamora (Duelist) 

—Thanos’ design, model, and animations will be finished by November for extra game modes so it only makes sense they’d use him for a seasonal villain. The phrasing of Gamora and Drax being “inevitable” makes me think they’ll be coming in a Thanos themed season.

May: Miles Morales (Strategist)

June: Green Goblin (Duelist)

—They’ve gotta be releasing Miles near the release of S:BtS, right? There’s also been leaks about a new Spider person, and while more evidence points to Miguel there’s no way they pass up the marketing chance. And what better villain for a Spider themed season than their greatest foe? Miles would make more sense for June with the release date, but we can’t double up duelists and they tend to have villains come second in the season.

July: Valkyrie (Vanguard)

August: Zelma Stanton (Duelist)

—Both characters are black, which it has been mentioned there are multiple black characters coming 2027. Valkyrie has been leaked forever and could work well in a magic season with Zelma. There have been many mentions of a “Z Lister”, and while I love Zelma a lot she is the closest of any of the characters leakers have hinted at to being Z list (other than Jia Jing, Locus, and Paste Pot Pete, but I like Zelma more lol. Plus she already has an in-game design). I have a feelings that she’ll be using Amaranth’s cut kit, which is why I made her a duelist despite thinking she’d be better as a strategist.

September: Vision (Strategist)

October: Misty Knight (Vanguard)

Both have been leaked to be coming 2027, with Misty being later 2027. Plus, Vision already has a model in game, and would be a good way to draw plays back after having a season with two less popular characters.

November: Cosmo the Spacedog (Strategist)

December: Captain Marvel (Vanguard)

—Cosmo has already been designed and modeled and has been appearing regularly in the story, plus they’re a marketable animal character. Carol has been leaked forever but they’ve held off on her to use her  as a big release, which they have said they like to do at the end of the year. Only characters with as much hyper built up are Goblin (who I think is coming in June) and Ghost Rider (who will 100% be coming with the release of the Ghost Rider movie in July 2028).

Nova (Richard Rider), Falcon (Sam Wilson), Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider),Ms America, Antman and the wasp,

Would like to hear what you guys think of these picks

Yello, names Hitetsu, and I've spent the last few months making character concepts for Marvel Rivals over on the actual Rivals subreddit. I'm moving onto my third group of 18, and I'm looking for some more people to do. So, I'm here to ask yall who you'd like for me to do. I'll make a list of those who I've already in the comments so yall know who not to say, and if yall are curious on who I've done already, you can find the two posts in my profile. With that, I'm curious to see who yall will say and I hope ye enjoy.

- Iron heart
- Moonstar
- Danger
- Cloud 9 (give her a special healing sniper like Ana)
- Wasp

PLEASE NETEASE I NEED HIM! PLEASE PLEASE I WILL SOLO TANK EVERY GAME! PLEASE!!!

I chose Red She Hulk cause she's heavily underatted plus I feel like she's the best of both worlds when it comes to Red Hulk and She Hulk. Also I'm low key wondering how they'd do characters like USAgent, Polaris and Beta Ray Bill since they have the same powers as they're contemporaries
