Marvel Rivals Season 1 introduces the Fantastic Four with a new hero that’s poised to dominate the dive-support meta.
Cloak & Dagger have established themselves as a versatile duo in Marvel Rivals, excelling in healing, damage, and utility.
As Dagger, players wield primarily healing abilities, while switching to Cloak offers a focus on disruptive damage-dealing. Together, they balance offense and defense. When played skillfully, they deliver the best of both worlds.
In Season 1, however, Sue Storm joins the roster with the Fantastic Four and is set to challenge their dominance by being even harder to kill and providing a ton of utility to her team.
Watch out, Dagger, there’s a new Invisible Woman in town
Invisible Woman’s kit will include protective force fields for team defense and invisibility for stealthy attacks as a counter-dive DPS. Like Cloak & Dagger, she appeals to players who prioritize survivability and team support

What sets Sue Storm apart is that she performs both roles – damage and defense – herself, without the duality of form-switching.
The overlap doesn’t stop at their dual nature. Both Sue and Cloak & Dagger rely heavily on invisibility. Cloak & Dagger’s Dark Teleportation remains a standout utility, granting brief invisibility and untargetability to nearby allies while providing a speed boost. This ability to create immunity frames has made them a staple counter to enemy divers.
Sue Storm, meanwhile, can push enemies away or pull them toward her. She can double jump and propel enemies away from her in an AoE. She’s got a massive slow field, strong healing, the ability to turn herself and her entire team invisible. If you want to be impossible to kill, Sue’s the hero for you.
Cosmic rays altered Susan Storm on a cellular level, granting her the ability to generate impenetrable force fields and to make herself fade from sight in an instant. Despite her frequent lack of visibility, it has always been perfectly clear that Sue is the force holding her… pic.twitter.com/ayutwHuKf3
