Marvel Rivals has confirmed its next two characters launching a month apart in season 4, one that was leaked ages ago, another that only was glimpsed very recently.
The two new heroes are the Thor-adjacent Angela, the first hero launching with season 4, and then none other than The Man Without Fear, Daredevil for the mid-season drop. Angela leaked ages ago and seemed like a bit of a longshot to actually appear, whereas Daredevil was a more recent internal addition, it seems.
We have preview art, a trailer and a leaked Daredevil look, since Angela is leading things. Here’s Angela in what appears to be a VIP pose:
Here’s the key art:
Here’s what Daredevil looks like:
Here’s the full trailer for the season:
Here’s the full synopsis for the season:
“The Timestream Entanglement has drawn the Seven Capitals together, forming the Heart of Heaven. After Knull’s fall, Hela is imprisoned in the An’Hay-Zhidi, where Dizang—Devil of the Eighth City—dares her to atone for her sins. But Angela will not forgive her betrayal. She arrives in the Heart of Heaven demanding Hela be handed over, yet its guardian refuses to surrender someone under his protection. Justice will be served and a debt will be paid.
But while they fight, an even greater danger stirs. Doctor Doom seeks to steal the Chronal Chi of the slumbering dragon Shou-Lao, threatening to unravel the fate of the Heavens themselves. Can Iron Fist protect the Immortal Dragon… or will Doom claim its power? “
And here’s the release date of the season: September 12.
I think most people are familiar with Daredevil at this point, but Angela? Unless you read comics or play Marvel Snap, probably not. I know there may be some chatter about her look here but it’s comic accurate:
Angela is an Asgardian goddess, and if you want a preview of her kit, here are her powers:
“Angela stands as the perfect blending of Asgadian might with Angelic ability. She possesses all the enhanced strength, stamina, endurance, speed, and invulnerability of an Asgardian, but has also been trained by Heven’s angels to be a great hunter-tracker, hand-to-hand combatant, and overall soldier. Her mastery with a sword is unparelled, as is her use of ribbons as weapons, and the so-called ichors, a kind of living fluid that may be shaped into knives and other tools.”
My guess here is that she’ll be a duelist like her pal Hela, but being almost invulnerable, she could end up being a tank like her pal Thor. Daredevil? I don’t see how he wouldn’t be an Iron Fist or Spider-Man-like duelist. We’ll find out more in character previews shortly.
