By the looks of it, if Marvel Rivals‘ Thor was there in Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos might not have had a chance to run. NetEase just nailed the character, as he was recently showcased during the San Diego Comic Con 2024.

Fans came to believe that Marval Rivals had done justice to characters like Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom. Now they need to ask if that is the only character worthy of staring. They can stare into the eyes of Thor now. NetEase Games has absolutely nailed his character in the game.

Recently, fans were seen asking for inclusion of female characters like Valkyrie. Maybe add Female Thor and we will have a pretty satisfactory team up.

Marvel Rivals is more centered around the PvP game model but the game features narratives too, all centered around the heroes and villains. All of them will be up against Victor Von Doom.

Thor could be one of those ultimate aids, as he has been in comics and movies. He comes with a range of abilities, from knocking enemies down with his faithful Mjolnir to certain team-ups.

One of the team-up abilities he provides include Odinson Reborn, where Hela can resurrect Loki and Thor. The other is named Thunderous Diety, which combines Thorforce with Storm’s electrifying abilities.

As we are discussing team-ups, Thor was joined by Jeff the Land Shark during the San Diego Comic Con. The character has yet to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, but he’s a pretty popular in the comic series.

Both characters will eventually be included in the final roster of the game. Nevertheless, fans need not worry about that, as both are playable in the closed beta that’ll run through August 5, 2024.
