Marvel Rivals reportedly can create its own Marvel heroes, according to an article written by MP1st. During the Marvel Rivals Ignite tournament, MPst asked game director Guangguan if original characters might be introduced to the game. Guangguan supposedly answered, “Yes, we are allowed to introduce original characters in Marvel Rivals.”
Marvel Rivals spawned a first-of-its-kind comic known as MARVEL SWIMSUIT SPECIAL: FRIENDS, FOES & RIVALS #1. This was the first time Marvel Rivals characters were directly celebrated in a comic book; the swimsuit special was an annual one-shot featuring artwork of Marvel characters.
