Meet the Fantastic Four (So Far):

First up are Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, with Thing and Human Torch slated for future release. Thing will function as a tank, while Human Torch will be a damage-dealing duelist. All four will participate in the game's "Team-Up" mechanic, boosting each other's capabilities. Invisible Woman's healing is enhanced, and Mister Fantastic gains a rapid health regeneration ability.

Invisible Woman: A Versatile Support

Invisible Woman fills a crucial niche as a support character, adding welcome variety to the game's existing support options.

Her attacks pierce through multiple targets, damaging enemies and healing allies—perfect for chaotic engagements. While her range is limited, her effectiveness is maximized near teammates.

She can turn invisible, but the six-second requirement without attacking or being attacked makes this a situational tactic. However, she heals while invisible. A more practical invisibility method is her double jump, providing a crucial escape maneuver.

She can deploy a shield in front of an ally (right-click), offering temporary protection and healing to nearby allies. This shield is fragile, requiring strategic placement and repositioning.

Her abilities include attracting and repelling opponents. Repelling is defensive, useful before evasive maneuvers. Attracting helps allies close in on enemies. She also fires a sphere that pulls enemies in, dealing damage and controlling chokepoints.

A three-hit melee combo pushes enemies away, but its vulnerability makes it less practical than repelling or her double jump. Her ultimate creates a healing and invisibility zone, but its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Invisible Woman is a well-balanced addition, offering strong support capabilities without overpowering established characters like Luna Snow and Mantis. Her tactical depth makes her a rewarding, albeit challenging, character to master.

Mister Fantastic: A Flexible Fighter

Mister Fantastic offers a unique and entertaining playstyle.

His attacks have medium range, with the ability to hit multiple targets by aiming to the side. His abilities fill a meter; once full, he transforms into a powerful, durable form.

His "Shift" ability allows him to absorb damage for a short period before unleashing it in a powerful counterattack.

He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield. Attracting allies provides them a shield; attracting enemies deals damage. This ability enhances both his survivability and battlefield control.

His right-click ability immobilizes enemies with a stretching arm, allowing him to either pull them in or grab another enemy for a combined aerial throw.

His ultimate involves a jump attack, dealing damage and slowing enemies. Hitting at least one enemy repeats the attack. Similar to Bucky's ultimate, but often less effective.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank elements, offering strong capabilities without surpassing the top-tier heroes.

Both new heroes are impressive additions, showcasing the developers' commitment to unique character design. The anticipation for Thing and Human Torch is high!
