List of five Marvel Rivals easter eggs that players might be unfamiliar with

1) Magneto’s greatsword

The first of the Marvel Rivals easter eggs is related to Magneto, a popular Vanguard in the game who wields a giant greatsword. The interesting fact about this sword is that it is apparently made out of literal Doombots, adding a unique touch to his weapon.

Doombots are essentially what comprises Doctor Doom’s army, the antagonist in the Marvel Rivals storyline. Magneto is said to have created the sword by collecting the metal from the bodies of these Doombots.

Psylocke and Jeff surprisingly share a similar past. The Collector, who is known to “collect” different beings and keep them trapped in his realm, apparently captured both at the same time.

Their bond began when Psylocke managed to escape and took Jeff with her, forming a strong friendship. This connection is evident during battles, where Jeff makes sad noises whenever Psylocke is knocked down.

The Sanctum Sanctorum, a recently added Doom Match map in Marvel Rivals, features some intriguing details. As you explore the map, you'll notice tables and fridges stocked with squids and octopuses. Furthermore, if you look outside the map, you will find the remains of a giant octopus lying on some framework.

This is likely a reference to the multidimensional being — Shuma-Gorath — who has been mentioned several times in the Marvel universe — most recently appearing in the MCU film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The new map — Sanctum Sanctorum — has been meticulously designed with relics referring to multiple stories in the Marvel universe. One of those is a blue cape with a silver lining residing just opposite a broken glass cabinet, one where his current red cape apparently broke out of.

This blue cape refers to The Origin of Doctor Strange comic, where he was first seen wearing it, and it also appeared in the 2015 Doctor Strange comic, confirming the throwback.

Interestingly — the same blue cape was also shown in the recent MCU movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — which Mister Fantastic was holding as the Illuminati Strange was being punished.
