Mysterio's character concept for Marvel Rivals sparks community's interest

The Marvel Rivals subreddit recently saw a new character concept post for Mysterio. u/GhostsinGlass created the entry and also shared their idea for what the hero’s abilities would be and their function. Although the images lack any form of stats or concrete numbers, the conceptual description is enough to paint a picture of the character’s potential in the community.

The headline of the post highlights that Mysterio is being imagined as a Strategist class hero with the ability to counter dive strategies and characters. The community gathered around this post quickly and flooded it with comments — some appreciating the concept while others discussed the specifics of some of his abilities.

u/AWildGazebo added a fun twist that may fit Mysterio’s character by changing the ultimate and making it a reversed version of Loki. In this iteration, the hero would create illusions to turn all of the allies into Mysterios, but only visually for the enemy team. This could cause a lot of confusion and make it difficult for opponents to target characters based on their role in the game.
