Marvel Rivals Leak Hints at Five New Heroes, Including Professor X and Colossus

A recent leak suggests that five new heroes are poised to join the roster of the popular 6v6 shooter, Marvel Rivals. This exciting news follows previous leaks hinting at the arrival of characters like Valkyrie and Sam Wilson, fueling anticipation within the player community.

The latest leak, shared by dataminer X0X_LEAK on Twitter, names Professor X, Jia Jing, Paste Pot Pete, Colossus, and Locus as potential additions. This diverse group promises to expand the game's strategic depth, particularly for Support mains, with Professor X, Jia Jing, and Locus potentially filling this role. Professor X, the iconic leader of the X-Men, requires no introduction. Jia Jing, known for her fairy wings and rock-like skin, offers unique flight and defensive capabilities. Locus, a name shared by several characters, most notably Rayna Piper, brings teleportation, flight, and energy blast abilities to the table.

The leak also suggests a new Vanguard character: Colossus. His absence from the initial roster has made him a highly anticipated addition, given his popularity and potential within the game. Paste Pot Pete, a notorious villain and former member of the Frightful Four, is rumored to be the new Duelist. This addition is particularly interesting given the recent introduction of the Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic.

While there's no official confirmation from the developers, the potential addition of these iconic Marvel characters – especially Professor X and Colossus – has generated significant excitement among players. Fans are encouraged to approach this leaked information with caution, but the prospect of these new heroes joining the fray is undoubtedly enticing.
