As per the promise of Marvel Rivals getting a new hero every month, the second half of Season 1 will bring players two new heroes: the Human Torch and The Thing. These new champions will be available to play in a couple of days, but before they're released into the wild, we got a sneak peek at what these characters can do, and it's pretty scary.

The Human Torch is most effective in claiming space with area-of-effect attacks, able to connect up to four points on the field to create a firewall that does hefty damage over time to anyone within the perimeter.

Human Torch will debut in Marvel Rivals on Feb. 21 alongside his Fantastic Four buddy, The Thing. Johnny will have a unique ultimate team-up with Storm, but players came up with another (better) team-up idea for the X-Men member.
