Marvel Rivals, the upcoming Overwatch-style PVP shooter by NetEase Games, has just had a ton of information leaked from its Alpha and Pre-Alpha states. There are details regarding the current roster, skins, locations, and more that are now out there.
Unfortunately, a lot of aspiring players don’t seem to be happy about the information that was revealed, with there being a lot of confusion around the current state of the roster.
The Marvel Rivals Leaked Roster Is a Lot to Take In
X/Twitter user Miller Ross has just dropped a ton of information about the Marvel Rivals game that has been data mined from its Alpha and Pre-Alpha states. One of the biggest points of contention is seemingly about the roster.
The complete list of playable characters from the closed Alpha Test build includes:
Hulk, Punisher, Storm, Loki, Human Torch, Doctor Strange, Mantis, Hawkeye, Captain America, Rocket Raccoon, Hela, Cloak & Dagger, Black Panther, Groot, Ultron, Magik, Moon Knight, Luna Snow, Squirrel Girl, Black Widow, Iron Man, Venom, Spider-Man, Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Mr. Fantastic, Winter Soldier, Peni Parker, Star-Lord, Blade, Namor, Adam Warlock, Jeff the Landshark, Psylocke, Wolverine, Invisible Woman, The Thing, Iron Fist (Lin Lie).
The thread leaking the information has had a ton of replies, and anger seems to be one of the major reactions.
One user had many questions about the roster, including the absence of Danny Rand’s Iron Fist or Kwannon’s Psylocke, Cloak and Dagger being a single character, and Peter Parker and Peni Parker being separate.
Replies to this post weren’t supportive, however, as Peter Parker and Peni Parker (despite being variants of one another) are still two different people and have different abilities, which would fit from a gameplay standpoint.
Ok I have two questions:
First = Where is my boy Dr Doom
Second = About Iron First why Lin Lie and why not Danny Rand pic.twitter.com/DdujGcLsNE

Another user also questioned the inclusion of Lin Lie in place of Danny Rand while noting the absence of Dr. Doom.
And the list goes on; it’s tough to please a large fanbase when there’s only a limited number of characters you can include in the roster.
Hopefully, the future inclusion of more characters as well as skins can solve this problem and let everyone see their favorite Marvel character in the game.
More Leaked Information About Marvel Rivals
Out of the 39 characters revealed to be on the roster, 19 were already announced. The characters were numbered on Ross’ tweet, and according to him, those represent when the development of the character started. So, Lin Lie’s development only started a few months ago.
So far, Ross has uncovered five unannounced locations, and each of them has their own set of maps: Hydra Erebus Base, The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, Klyntar, Empire of Eternal Night, and Krakoa.
Re: Skins
Shockingly, there are no new skins finished and implemented past what was in the CPAT build beyond 1 recolor for Hulk (who already had a full skin.) 9 characters have a full secondary skin, 10 are stuck with just a recolor for now. There is movement behind the scenes on…— Miller Ross (@mmmmmmmmiller) May 8, 2024
Unfortunately, there’s no news on skins past what had already been discovered in the Closed Alpha Test build. This includes skins for Mantis, Hulk, Punisher, and others.
There’s a lot more information that goes in-depth on the characters’ abilities, biographies, and some reading the Team-Up feature as well.
