Mister Fantastic’s Primary Attack in Marvel Rivals

Effective duelists require a strong primary attack, and Mister Fantastic's Stretch Punch delivers. While lacking a secondary attack, its versatility is surprising. This three-hit combo uses a single fist for the first two strikes, culminating in a powerful two-fisted blow.

The Stretch Punch's unique strength lies in its area-of-effect damage. The stretched arm deals damage to all enemies it passes through, allowing for powerful area-of-effect attacks with a single primary attack sequence. This compares favorably to other heroes, such as Storm's piercing Wind Blade.

Mister Fantastic’s Abilities in Marvel Rivals

Mister Fantastic possesses a range of abilities best explored in the training room. These abilities contribute to a powerful passive that significantly boosts his damage output. Once fully charged, this passive becomes a formidable asset. Understanding his health and Elasticity values is crucial for effective gameplay.

He boasts 350 base health, but his shields provide unexpected survivability for a duelist. His Elasticity, displayed under the crosshair, is key; each base attack generates 5 Elasticity, with 100 being the target for maximum passive effect. His 3-star difficulty rating indicates he's challenging but manageable for players of all skill levels.

Reflexive Rubber

• Active Ability
• 12 seconds

Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing all incoming damage for 12 seconds. Upon expiration, he unleashes the absorbed damage in a targeted attack.

Flexible Elongation

• Active Ability
• 3 seconds
• 30 Elasticity Generated

This ability grants a shield, boosting Mister Fantastic's health from 350 to 425. He pulls himself towards a target, dealing damage to enemies or granting a shield to allies, offering both offensive and supportive options. It has two charges.

Distended Grip

• Active Ability
• 6 seconds
• 30 Elasticity Generated

Distended Grip allows Mister Fantastic to grapple a target, offering two options: Dash (pulling him closer without a shield) and Impact (dealing damage). Impact, when used on a grappled enemy near another, allows him to grapple the second enemy and slam them together, damaging both.

Wedded Harmony

• Team-Up Ability
• 20 seconds

Only active with Invisible Woman on the team, this ability heals Mister Fantastic for lost health (but not shields), boosting survivability between shield uses.

Elastic Strength

• Passive Ability

Each ability use builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic transforms, gaining significantly increased damage and a substantial shield that decays slowly even after the transformation ends. He cannot use other abilities during this inflated state.

Brainiac Bounce

• Ultimate Ability

Mister Fantastic leaps into the air, crashing down to deal area-of-effect damage, then bouncing to repeat the attack multiple times—devastating against clustered enemies.

Tips for Playing Mister Fantastic in Marvel Rivals

Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation and shield generation make him surprisingly tanky.

Flexible Reflection

Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides shields for both Mister Fantastic and an ally, allowing the player to absorb enemy attacks before unleashing stored damage.

Rushing Reflexive Rubber

Using Reflexive Rubber even when not actively building the passive can maximize his inflated state, boosting both objective presence and damage. Stacking shields from Flexible Elongation before inflating can potentially raise his health pool to 950.
