Marvel Rivals is pretty much allowed to add any character from the last 85 of Marvel Comics to its ever-expanding roster of playable heroes, and fans are clamouring to see some very obscure names join, including a mutant that poops ice cream.

Marvel Rivals' developer had already promised that it would be adding a new character every single month, faster than any other game in the subgenre, meaning we'll run out of heroes who have headlined an MCU film sooner rather than later. Thankfully, NetEase is just as focused on introducing obscure heroes as it is on Marvel A-Listers.
