List of five heroes to counter Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals

1) Hela

Hela is an excellent counter to Mister Fantastic, mainly because of her damage output. She can dish out massive damage with her primary attack, Nightsword Thorn, and her Piercing Night ability. This helps her take down Mister Fantastic’s massive health bar, which he gains with his passive, Elastic Strength, and his abilities, Flexible Elongation and Wedded Harmony (team-up).

Furthermore, Hela can easily dodge Mister Fantastic’s ultimate, Brainiac Bounce, using her Astral Flock ability. Finally, her ultimate, Goddess of Death, can take down the beefy Mister Fantastic with ease.

2) Hawkeye

Hawkeye is another excellent counter to Mister Fantastic. He can easily keep his distance and deal a significant amount of damage to Reed Richards. Mister Fantastic’s high health is also no problem for Hawkeye thanks to the latter's passive, Archer’s Focus, which increases the damage output of Piercing Arrows.

Furthermore, Hawkeye’s ultimate, Hunter’s Sight, further counters Mister Fantastic as it allows the archer to spot and damage his afterimages, dealing massive amounts of damage.

3) The Punisher

The Punisher is a difficult matchup for Mister Fantastic. Primarily, his hitscan weapon, Adjudication, allows him to melt Reed’s health from a distance. Moreover, even if Fantastic somehow manages to get up close, The Punisher’s shotgun, Deliverance, deals massive damage and easily whittles down Reed’s hefty HP.

Furthermore, The Punisher’s Culling Turret, and his ultimate, Final Judgement, melts Mister Fantastic’s health irrespective of his tanky nature.

4) Wolverine

Wolverine is a particularly strong counter to Mister Fantastic, mostly because of the nature of his attacks. The clawed hero's primary attacks deal damage according to the enemy's max health, which is useful against Reed’s tanky nature.

Every time Reed Richards reaches full Elasticity or uses Flexible Elongation, Wolverine can pounce on him and take him down in an instant without much counterplay.

5) Spider-Man

Mister Fantastic struggles against agile characters, and Spider-Man can take advantage of this. He can use his Web Swing and Thwip and Flip to get in and out of Mister Fantastic’s range, dealing damage along the way with Get Over Here! and Amazing Combo. Any good Spidey player can dodge Reed’s attacks and constantly annoy him with their agility and damage.

Furthermore, Spider-Man’s ultimate, Spectacular Spin, can damage and stun Reed, making him an easy target for Spidey and his team to take down.

That covers the five best heroes to counter Mister Fantastic. It is important to note that although Reed can be extremely annoying to face off against owing to his hybrid nature, simply keeping your distance and coordinating attacks with your teammates can easily counter Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals.
