The Thing, a beloved character from Marvel Comics, is making his debut in Marvel Rivals.  This powerful hero will join the game on February 21, 2024.  He is a tank, which means he is designed to take a lot of damage and dish out plenty of his own.  His main attack is a series of punches, and he has a more powerful punch with better range as an ability.  He can also sprint, knocking enemies up in his path and finishing with a powerful ground pound.  This makes him a formidable force on the battlefield.

The Thing isn't just about brute force, though.  He also has a support-focused ability, which allows him to leap to a nearby teammate, giving himself bonus health when he reaches them.  This bonus health comes from rocks that float around The Thing and give bonus health when destroyed by enemies.  This ability makes him a valuable asset to any team.

The Thing also has a team-up ability with Wolverine, which allows him to throw Wolverine as part of the fastball special, a team-up already in the game with Hulk.  His ultimate ability is a large ground pound, which deals damage in an outward cone, knocking up enemies hit, leaving them vulnerable to other attacks.

The Thing is the first Vanguard to be added to the roster since the game's launch.  This makes him a popular pick when the Marvel Rivals Season 1 mid-season update launches on February 21.  That same update will also see some support nerfs.

The game's developers, NetEase, have reportedly laid off multiple Marvel Rivals developers, despite how successful the hero shooter has been.  This is a surprising move, given the game's popularity and the excitement surrounding The Thing's addition to the roster.

The Thing's addition to Marvel Rivals is a big deal for fans of the Marvel universe.  He is a powerful hero with a unique set of abilities, and his addition to the game is sure to shake things up.  The Thing's abilities make him a valuable asset to any team, and his team-up abilities with Wolverine and Hulk make him a formidable force on the battlefield.
