Players believe that the Marvel Rivals new characters are going to consist of two powerful beings from the world of X-Men.

Fans of Marvel Rivals are excitingly speculating that powerful X-Men names, particularly Elixir and Jean Grey, might be the new characters players can get their hands on if they are featured in Season 3. As of this writing, the game’s roster currently consists of 38 well-known characters taken directly from Marvel Comics. Then, NetEase added five more amazing characters over the course of two Marvel Rivals seasons just to spice things up.

Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman are already done with their debuts being the new Duelist and Strategist for Season 1 after the developers showcased the arrival of the entire Fantastic Four team in-game, folks are now itching for new characters to come out and play. Although players can now choose from a wider variety of Duelists and Vanguards thanks to the Human Torch and The Thing’s appearances in the second quarter of the season, the audience always tends to want more.

As the second season began, the developers, including Emma Frost, joined the roster of Marvel Rivals‘s Vanguard as their newest recruit and verified a number of rumors. Players have now discovered something that might hint at the next move, and we’re excited to talk to everyone about what the next move might be.

Marvel Rivals Character Leaks From a Reddit User

Reddit user Sypher04_ posted an image that seemingly hinted at the possibility of having Elixir and Jean Grey bless us with their attendance in Marvel Rivals Season 3. The picture is a screen grab of an event webpage where the codenames and true names of the characters are displayed beneath the challenges.

Since the community is eagerly awaiting Jean Grey’s arrival, players are thrilled to learn about the next possible cast members for Marvel Rivals. Fans were intrigued when Elixir was mentioned since, although some are familiar with the persona, others are not.

Who Are Elixir and Jean Grey—The Possible New Heroes in Marvel Rivals!

If both Jean Grey and Elixir are indeed confirmed to be one of the Marvel Rivals new characters, players are going to have a glorious day with the game. But who exactly is Jean Grey and Elixir?

Origin of Jean Grey

Jean Grey is one of the strongest and most prominent X-Men in the world, with powers that go beyond the things we can imagine. Originally, she made an appearance in the comics back in 1963, with one of her most iconic moments transforming into the Phoenix—the perfect avatar for the powerful and indomitable nature of life.

Her origins, however, are in Jean’s enrollment at Professor Xavier’s mutant school, where she was joined by Angel, Iceman, Cyclops, and Beast. Her pseudonym was Marvel Girl at first, and she only abandoned it for her true name during the X-Men Gold Team era.

The Story of Elixir

Joshua Foley, A.K.A. Elixir, made his comic book debut in 2003, and his accomplishments are equally remarkable. Foley is a unique Omega-level mutant due to his powers of biomanipulation, which he can use to basically resurrect himself and avoid the clasps of death.

So you see, if these two powerhouses came into the game as Marvel Rivals new characters, players would have a lot more interesting gameplay and strategies to have on their hands. And that would all culminate into a grand battle in-game!

But Bear in Mind That This News of Marvel Rivals New Characters Is Purely Speculation

We currently don’t have an official comment from the developers yet, thus this finding is merely conjecture from the community. Although very little is known about the upcoming season of Marvel Rivals, it is significant to note that prior rumors have suggested that Jean Grey, rather than Elixir, will play alongside Captain Marvel in Season 3.

The community is preparing for Ultron’s arrival as the second Season 2 character in Marvel Rivals while players wait for further details to be revealed. At least players would have something to occupy them and still have fun playing the game as it is.

Now, how about we take this time to talk a bit about Season 2 and Ultron’s presence in it.

When Will Marvel Rivals Players See Ultron in Action?

The Season 2.5 update, scheduled to occur 1.5 months after the conclusion of Season 2, is when Ultron is scheduled to be released. Ultron is anticipated to be released on May 30, 2025, as Season 2 began on April 11.

Prior to the new character being released throughout the week of the 2.5 update, a character trailer will probably highlight his skills, role, Ulti, and various other attributes. You can say that another giant in the world of MOBA updated its map and did the same thing by providing key information on the changes, new features, etc.

Still, we’ll all have to wait for Season 2 to be announced and released before we can say anything for certain, especially with rumors and leaks about Marvel Rivals new characters.
