Mr. Fantastic is aDuelistinMarvel Rivalswho performs melee attacks but can reach enemies from a distance. Think of him as a medium-range character versus a traditional ranged or melee DPS.
Leaning into the character’s comic book abilities, he can stretch his arms out to slap enemies together. Or, if you’re grabbing one enemy, you can bring them in toward you.
Inversely, you can grab an ally or enemy and dash towards them. If you’re grabbing an ally, you will grant them bonus health. Enemies, meanwhile, will take damage from this.
As a Duelist who is a little closer to the action, Mr. Fantastic has some defensive utility. He can grow in size, absorb enemy attacks, and even deflect them. The character trailer shows him deflecting anIron ManUltimate.
Mr. Fantastic’s ultimate ability will leap you into the air, allowing you to slam into enemies and bounce back up in the air. You can repeat this up to six times, so long as you’re bouncing on enemies.
