Key Takeaways
-
Marvel Rivals leakers confirmed a while ago that every member of the Fantastic Four would eventually appear in the game.
-
We've previously seen leaks showing Mr Fantastic and the Human Torch, and now it's The Thing's turn.
-
Like the other members, Ben Grimm wears a blue, white, and black outfit.
Marvel Rivals dataminers have unearthed the first image of Fantastic Four member The Thing, confirming leaks that he will be joining the roster and showing off his design.
Marvel Rivals has just launched with a massive roster of 33 characters that puts most other hero shooters to shame (if you know what I mean), but that stacked lineup isn't over yet. As it is a live service game, more heroes and villains are expected to join, and considering the number of Marvel characters that have not yet been included, the possibilities are endless.

The longer you play Marvel Rivals, the worse it gets.
Marvel Rivals makes a good first impression, but the more time you spend with it, the more cracks start to appear.
It's really interesting, but we already know a lot of the characters that will actually appear in Marvel Rivals. Dataminers discovered an extensive list of heroes during the game's beta, which has since expanded with models, move sets, and more for various characters. There is one family in particular that is receiving attention.
Don't worry. Marvel rivals will frown.
Of course, I'm referring to the Fantastic Four. Marvel's First Family was included in the initial text datamine, but two of the four members have since shared their designs. Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, made his first appearance a few months ago, and Reed Richards, as Mr. Fantastic, showed off his incredibly buff appearance just a few days ago. Now it's Ben Grimm's turn.
RivalsLeaks took to Twitter to share the first Marvel Rivals image of The Thing found in the game's files. The image itself does not show his finished 3D model. Because it actually looks like spray paint or concept art. Whatever the case, it gives you a good idea of what he might look like.
Like the other Fantastic Four members we've seen so far, The Thing's suit (or shorts) will have a white, blue, and black color design rather than the blue and black we're used to. Ben Grimm also has huge eyebrows, which will appeal to anyone with good taste who likes to have eyebrows.
If you're not a fan of white, black, or blue, it's worth remembering that Rivals undoubtedly has a variety of skins for all of the Fantastic Four members.
It's too early to tell, but The Thing appears to be slightly less developed than Mr Fantastic and the Human Torch, as no 3D model for him has been discovered yet. That said, we know for sure that at least three Fantastic Four members are on the way, with the now-properly hidden invisible woman Sue Richards.

The pandemic has tricked publishers into thinking about live service games. We have a great idea.
The success of titles like Among Us and Valheim in the early days of the pandemic wasn't exactly indicative of the long-term appetite for games-as-a-service.
