Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Artwork of Blade in Season 1

Blade's artwork fuels speculation about his arrival as a playable character in Season 2. Some players predict a Season 1 finale where the Fantastic Four defeat Dracula, rescuing New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Many believe Blade would excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates, enhancing strength, altering attacks, and providing wall-hack vision.

Beyond Blade, leaked Ultron abilities from Season 0 suggest a Strategist role, offering support and healing. While initially expected in Season 1, his release may have been shifted due to the Fantastic Four's introduction. It's important to remember that leaks are unconfirmed rumors until officially announced. Despite this, the wealth of upcoming content generates significant player excitement for Marvel Rivals' future.
