Another month, another Marvel Rivals leak — and this time, it’s all about the game’s next wave of heroes. Iconic X-Men members like Forge and Armor are making their debut on the Rivals roster, alongside lesser-known but intriguing additions like Hive, Amaranth, and White Fox.
Prominent Marvel Rivals leaker @X0X_Leaks uncovered more than just names in the game files. The leak also includes details, to some extent, about each character’s abilities.
Forge Abilities
X-Men fans already know Forge as the team’s tech genius, and in Marvel Rivals, he takes on the role of a Support character. According to the leaks, he uses a device similar to a Raygun to heal his allies.
His other leaked abilities include:
- Structure Analysis
- Creative Modification
- Spirit Realm Walking
- Limitation-Breaking Modification
While the specifics are still unclear, Forge might be able to provide armor to teammates, perhaps similar to Rocket's B.R.B. Machine.
Armor Abilities
Another X-Men standout, Armor, appears in the files as a Vanguard, meaning her defensive prowess should come into play.
Her leaked abilities include:
- Unbreakable Object
- Multiple Psionic Forms
- Mountain-Breaking Strike — likely a primary or heavy-hitting secondary ability, possibly akin to The Thing’s haymaker.
Hive Abilities
This villainous parasitic entity joins the roster as a Vanguard. His abilities are listed as:
- Deadly Parasite
- Painful Lashing
- Accelerated Transformation
Based on the names, it seems Hive’s kit may focus on inflicting poison, decay, or other damage-over-time effects.
Amaranth Abilities
The Scarlet Witch’s apprentice, Amaranth Hawlut, is a Melee Duelist who seems to draw inspiration from Wanda Maximoff herself.
Her abilities include:
- Chaos Spike
- Spell Counter
- Chaos Rain
- Frenzied Deterrence
From the names, her gameplay may revolve around deflecting projectiles and absorbing attacks to return damage, a little like Zarya from Overwatch.
White Fox Abilities
Following in the footsteps of Luna Snow, White Fox becomes the next Korean superhero to join the Marvel Rivals lineup. Leaks suggest she’s a Melee Duelist with a specialty in draining the life out of her enemies.
Her abilities include:
- Life Transfer – potentially lets her siphon health from enemies and heal allies.
- Rapid Hypnosis – possibly similar to Emma Frost’s mind control.
- Fox Shadow Invasion could offer stealth or enhanced mobility as a passive.
Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt. NetEase has been known to insert fake characters into the files to throw off leakers. Still, with Ultron and Blade reportedly on the way, and new characters surfacing nearly every month, the Marvel Rivals roster is growing fast, real or not.
