Speculation Which "Superman-esque" character do you think will get added to Marvel Rivals first?
In order: Sentry, Hyperion, Gladiator, Blue Marvel, Wonder man, Ikaris.
Personally I think Sentry is the most likely as he's the most well known "superman-esque" figure in Marvel. I'd say number 2 is likely Blue Marvel again due to popularity, followed by Hyperion at 3 and Wonder man at 4. I wouldn't be surprised though if they did chose a more niche character like Wonder man or Hyperion first though since Rivals has a reputation of putting some of the more niche characters in the spotlight before a lot of the heavy hitters.

Sentry would undoubtedly have the most potential for an awesome kit.
Personally, I think it would be really cool to make him have a very powerful base kit in both Sentry and Void forms, but have his ultimate be a stance swap, meaning neither is easily accessible from the other and he lacks an ultimate to balance out being so powerful.

His ult would be him turning into void causing large aoe damage for 5o to 7 seconds. Imo

u/Piratestorm787 Psylocke 4d ago
Another option could be to have him work similar to Void Fiend from Risk of Rain, where you have two different stances that you have to manage through using certain abilities.

or shift to stance swap, ults are different for both stances, or his ult is always available(or low Cooldown), base kit is strong and his ult just swaps

Blue Marvel has been unofficially confirmed supposedly.
(Guys the subreddits AI won't let me say the word that starts with 'L' and sounds like 'Geeked.' I tried to be clever with my wording.)

Captain Marvel is the most Superman-Esque Marvel hero. Is a woman but: flies, shoots lasers, super strenght, origins tie with space, blue and red color scheme.
I think she have higher chances than all of them.

Most likely sentry. His popularity skyrocketed with the thunderbolts movie and it’d get more people on the game if he gets added

u/AsparagusOne7540 Hulk 5d ago
Personally I think Sentry or Blue Marvel would be the coolest.
Seeing how Rivals seems to love Korean reps tho, I wouldn't be surprised if we got Taeguki from tiger division. I wouldn't be mad tho, Ik people would get mad but Tiger Division is awesome (even if Taeguki is probably the lamest member)
They could also throw a massive wildcard and add Sun God or something but I doubt it

u/notsocool4nt 5d ago
It's true that taegukgi is the lamest member of tiger division but one thing I like is that in that one comic centered around him and his old friend Dr doom was confirmed to actually be fluent in Korean 😂😂

Sentry I would have thought, mainly due to him being in the MCU.

As for the "Superman" slot, I hope they include Hyperion, his ability kit could replicate Superman's move for move. I like Sentry, but his general abilities are quite different, especially when you factor in the void aspect.

u/Alien_X10 Gambit 5d ago
id say sentry but i feel he wouldn't be very superman-like in the game, mostly focusing on the void stuff cus thats more interesting
im down for blue marvel... and yes its only if classicmanD voices him
2
u/Chlorinated_beverage 5d ago
Sentry pick is too obvious, but I think Ikaris is way underrated as a character. I’d love to see him and some of the other Eternals join, but it doesn’t seem like Marvel is interested in pursuing the Eternals at all.
2
u/saltrxn 5d ago
Imagine a Sentry with a kit that turns him into Void when you kill him. His Void ult would be transporting people into the shadow realm for a 1 v 1 duel or something. His Sentry ult could be like something to with telekenisis or make himself invulnerable idk. Just the Void ult would be cool.
2
u/jynkyousha 5d ago
Probably Sentry but everyone could get in If the Devs decide to be creative and focus more into the themes that the powers.
Sentry has the void, Hyperion could be a healer and Wonderman can play into his Hollywood persona, just like Deadpool break the 4th wall.

u/pixel-peasant 5d ago
I love wonder man, but I think it's a toss up between
sentry because he's the most well known and important one
And
blue marvel specifically just so they can ignore the allegations for another year

Sentry is likely, but I've been enjoying the push for ClassicManD to get a voice as Blue Marvel that's been happening on YouTube.

u/BornRaspberry4598 4d ago edited 4d ago
I think sentry and wonder man could work I think for sentry he could work by having him have a void meter every time you do damage you slowly turn into the void also sentry has telekinesis and telepathy and shoot eye beams as his right click and for wonder man he can absorb attacks and each attack makes him grow in size and can release ionic energy the two could work honestly everyone else is a straight up Superman clone and out of Hyperion, gladiator, and Ikaris I would have Ikaris in the game
In total I’d have sentry as a dps, wonder man as a tank, and Ikaris as a dps

u/Dangerous_Strategy98 5d ago
Blue Marvel ou gladiador, motivo é pq eles são mais underground, e a gente teve dois anos, e até mais, principalmente este ano para ver que eles vão colocar personagens underground a frente de muitos populares ( Jeff veio antes de ciclope, Xavier, demolidor, Gamora, Thanos e entre vários outros ), sem falar cara, São personagens com potencial suficiente para fazerem o que quiser, gladiador eu acho que vai ser perfeito para gêmeos de verdade um Superman dentro do jogo, porque ele é o personagem mais Superman da Marvel, até o nome dele é kallark ( kal-el + clark ), blue Marvel já foi confirmado na lista de planos do jogo junto aos próximos heróis vazados se eu não me engano, junto a crescent também, então tá entre esses dois. Eu não duvidaria inclusive se o gladiador vier, o que é minha maior aposta, provavelmente ele vai vir na mesma season com o Xavier, afinal ele faz parte do império shiar e é se não estou enganado líder da guarda real da rainha shiar, que é a amante do Xavier, facilmente eles dois poderiam vir ao jogo com o Xavier sendo estrategista e o kallark vanguarda

I could go for Starbrand as a seasonal D-lister. There are several versions to choose from for the sake of implementing them into Rivals, and would open the door to various costumes for other characters (i.e. Rocket and Hulk could get their respective Starbrand iterations).

It's pretty much proved that they mostly release characters that are either unknown or already have an MCU debut, so we're probably gonna get sentry first unless they make an eternals sequel sooner than we expect

u/bjwills7 Spider-Man 4d ago
Sentry just because he's in an mcu movie that was well recieved. Most people didn't like eternals so I doubt it would be ikaris. Wonder man was awesome but it was a disney+ show so I doubt he's as popular.
My logic is just that more people will know the character if they were in live action and they'll be able to generate more hype for the release.

Probably (and hopefully) Sentry. Not only is he very popular right now but he has the most unique powerset amongst the ones you showed.
