Marvel Rivals game director Guangyun Chen recently revealed that the team are allowed to add comic book characters stretching back across the last 85 years to the popular hero shooter, and with so many names to pick from, the devs are now looking at fan votes to shape the game's future.

The Marvel universe is obviously packed with heroes big and small, so there's no shortage of faces to choose from, but that can also be a double-edge sword in some respects. When do you wait to introduce household faces, like Jean Grey and Blade? How do you balance that with more obscure freaks, like the now-iconic Jeff the Land Shark?
