Marvel Rivals Fans are Stretching Mister Fantastic's Meme Potential to Its Limit

Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals fray this past weekend, kicking off Season 1 on January 10th. While Invisible Woman's reception has been generally positive, Mister Fantastic's unique design and abilities have sparked a wave of memes and humorous reactions.

The stretchy scientist's elastic powers, particularly his "Elastic Strength" and "Reflexive Rubber" abilities, lend themselves to comedic interpretations. Comparisons to One Piece's Luffy are rampant, fueled by his ability to contort his body into absurd shapes. This has even inspired the modding community to create custom One Piece skins, despite NetEase's recent crackdown on modding. His "Reflexive Rubber" ability, which involves growing to refrigerator-sized proportions, is another prime source of amusement.

The character's meme potential extends beyond his abilities. Several players, like @BOOMERANG_117 on X/Twitter, have even creatively envisioned Mister Fantastic without his beard, highlighting the somewhat unsettling yet humorous aspects of his design.

Despite the playful reactions, Mister Fantastic's reception hasn't been entirely negative. One Reddit user praised his design, stating that his "stupid and silly and cheesy" nature perfectly embodies the game's spirit.

The early reception of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman suggests a strong start to Season 1. With The Thing and Human Torch slated for the second half of the season, fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of the complete Fantastic Four and the further comedic potential they bring.
