Marvel Rivals Fans are Stretching Mister Fantastic's Meme Potential to Its Limit

Marvel Rivals' Mister Fantastic: A Hilariously Stretchy Debut

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman joined the Marvel Rivals roster this past weekend, kicking off Season 1. While both characters have made a splash, Mister Fantastic's uniquely goofy design has quickly become a meme sensation.

His elastic abilities, particularly his "Elastic Strength," have drawn numerous comparisons to One Piece's Luffy, fueling fan creativity. The modding community, despite recent crackdowns, has even created a Luffy skin for him. His ability to contort his body into bizarre shapes adds to the comedic effect. One fan, @BOOMERANG_117 on X/Twitter, even created humorous edits imagining the character without his beard.

His "Reflexive Rubber" ability, while strategically useful for redirecting enemy attacks, is visually comical. The sheer size Mister Fantastic attains while using this move (think refrigerator-sized!) contributes to the hilarity.

The community's reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many embracing the character's silliness. A Reddit user praised his design, stating that his "stupid and silly and cheesy" nature perfectly complements the game's overall tone.

While his long-term popularity remains to be seen, Mister Fantastic's initial impact is undeniable. The Thing and Human Torch are slated to join the fray later in Season 1, and fans eagerly anticipate their arrival.
