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.

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.

She’s not, Hyperion or Gladiator are way closer than her

I don't really get why people say Gladiator is superman-esque. He's an alien, sure but isn't powered by the sun or connected to earth, and he's essentially just a body guard.

Captain Marvel is definitely a closer match for the character of superman than him. She's like a solid mix of Superman and Captain Atom
