Marvel Rivals
With the release of the Season 1 Battle Pass inMarvel Rivals , players will be able to acquire up to 10 new skin for pre - existent characters , most of which are matched to the gothic vampire hunter theming of the season . While the absolute majority of the new skins are incredible , there are a few that leave a act to be hope .
Although the two novel extra characters , Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic , will also have some seasonally themed skins , they will be debuting with those cutis available at the prison term of their launching . Therefore , they will not be included in this list , which will concentrate onpre - existing character who are receiving fresh cosmetics as part of the Season 1 Battle Pass .
10Blue Tarantula
Peni Parker & Sp//dr
While it ’s prissy that Peni Parker received another new peel as part of the Season 1 Battle Pass , it is a middling dissatisfactory one . Unlike some of the others which are on base for the season or sport a alone design , Peni Parker ’s Blue Tarantula hide is plainly that . This peel is a blue re - skin of her radix design , meaning that there are no other uniquechanges to Peni Parker or Sp//dr , just a simple color swap from red to blue .
Having high FPS and graphics can help you get a major bug in Marvel Rivals , so you ’ll want to adjust your options to optimize the game ’s functioning .
Not only is the blue a somewhat worse color selection than the root design , butit ’s far from her best skin , considering that her Ven#m skin is so uniqueand stands out among others . The other skin in her card is yet another color strain of the default pelt in an olive green colour , increasing the letdown with the fresh offering . While it ’s obvious that some usual rarity skin will be present , it still seems like a macerate opportunity to change by reversal Sp//dr into something incredible for this season ’s battle passing play .
9Blood Moon Knight
Moon Knight
standardized to Peni Parker ’s Season 1 Battle Pass skin , Moon Knight ’s unexampled skinis essentially a colour swap of his groundwork design . However , it is n’t a over 1:1 , as the Blood Moon Knight cutis does boast a handful of change to the conception . Most notably , the cape feature a large vampire hunter decal on the back .
While the developer have n’t approved the role of cutis mods , that has n’t stopped fans from piddle a superfluity of unique skins that attend not bad in - plot .
That being said , apart from this modest change , the purpose is more or less the same , just swapping the white and blue for black and cherry . The only other benefit that this invention has over Peni Parker ’s is that , since it is a gross colour change that encompasses the entire turnout , it does pass off an entirely different vibe . This skin can exchange the glowing white appearance of Moon Knight in gameplay into something a short more stealthy , which some histrion may prefer and appreciate .
8King Magnus
Magneto
Unlike some of the other Season 1 Battle Pass skins , the King Magnus skin for Magneto is not aMarvel Rivalsoriginal conception pattern , as it is reminiscent of the designing from the comical issueHouse of M ( 2005 ) # 6 . For this ground alone , it’san appreciable nod to a piece of source fabric for the character , which helps make up for the fact that the design , in equivalence to some of the others , feels a little lackluster .
Though Marvel Rivals microtransactions are still drug user - favorable , one late clarification about the engagement pass shows the optimal way of life for player .
Although it is the only current skin that feature Magneto without anything compensate his cheek , the overall look is pretty plainand feels as though it would be out of place on a field surrounded by iconic villain and superheroes . It ’s not the worst design in the battle passing game since it is alone from anything else the character already has , but it is still one of the weak designs by far .
7Emporium Matron
Scarlet Witch
Like Magneto ’s King Magnus skin , Scarlet Witch ’s Emporium Matron is immediately inspired by a design from a specific comic book issue , specificallyX - Men : Hellfire Gala ( 2022 ) # 1 . This is the 2nd of Scarlet Witch ’s skin that is a 1:1 from other source cloth , with the first being her plan fromDoctor Strange : Multiverse of Madness . Just like that design , the Emporium Matron skin is singular when compared to her other current skin .
The Fantastic Four are joining the Marvel Rivals roster on January 10th . This game is an out-and-out blast , getting rave revue from both gaming critic and thespian . Not only are the environments implausibly elaborated , but it is fun and easy to bring . There are many characters to pick out from , so that gamers can plunk one that suits their skills . The Fantastic Four are the first Marvel family , so it just makes sense that they are a part of the biz . Of naturally , this also makes sense , because in 2025 Marvel sports fan are getting a new Fantastic Four movie . I can not hold back to try out all of these new characters when they join the game .
That being said , it alsodoesn’t feature broad details or fend out significantly in any way . It ’s an interesting tegument that offers another edition onthe traditional Scarlet Witch designbut perhaps could ’ve benefited from a bit more detail or high life . When compared to others like Rocket Raccoon ’s Season 1 Battle Pass skin , it just sense a little bit simple .
6Savage Sub-Mariner
Namor
In direct reference toSub - Mariner ( 1968 ) # 67 , Namor ’s Season 1 Battle Pass Skin is the Savage Sub - Mariner . Aside from Namor’sBlack Panther : Wakanda Foreverskin , this is now the only other available hide for this character that is n’t just a color variant of the default pelt . Objectively , it ’s probablythe dependable of Namor ’s skin as it matches the intensity of some of the other hero skins in the gameand would certainly stand out in a match .
Marvel Rivals is lend some much - needed balance modification , but it could be the starting time of a dangerous course plague the private-enterprise games industry .
However , standardised to Scarlet Witch ’s Battle Pass skin , it is still pretty simplistic overall andsomewhat overshadow by some of the more luxuriant Battle Pass tegument . The fact that it does n’t match the seasonal theme seems like a overleap opportunity , peculiarly given that the trident could ’ve doubled as a pitchfork for a cool twist on an raging villager or lamia hunter design .
5All-Butcher
Loki
Although Loki ’s All - butch hide is one of the most prominent ofthe time of year 1 Battle Pass , being one of the few with a unequaled showcase animation seize to it , it still feels like it ’s miss something . There ’s no denying that the figure is incredible overall and any Loki thespian would be happy to have it . However , it does n’t sense that unique , which is a shame for such an iconic character in and out of the secret plan .
Mr. Fantastic ’s hybrid power toolset , and the potential of future heroes to follow cortege , bewilder more problems for implement a role queue feature .
Inspired byThor ( 2018 ) # 6 , Loki ’s All - Butcher pattern is undeniably a Loki design , meaning nothing about this look feel out of place . The design , the coloring material , the radical , and everything else about it are so in - your - face Loki that it almost makes you wishMarvel Rivalshad gone the opposite room and tried something unique . Ultimately , this just feel like a good design choice for the character , but it is still undeniably cool , which is why it order above some of the others .
4Blood Soul
Adam Warlock
Adam Warlock is one of the few who received aMarvel Rivalsoriginal purpose for the Season 1 Battle Pass focalize on the theme of the season , and it understandably shows . The design is not only elaborate and intricate , but it ’s also simply amazing . It seems to somehow find a proportion betweenmaintaining the overall feel of the character while also create something unique .
presently , there are four locations / maps in Marvel Rivals : Yggsgard , Tokyo 2099 , Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda , and Hydra Charteris Base . While I ’m a really big fan of the Hydra base , I ’m also very excited to explore the vampire - invade New York that ’s come up in the biz ’s first time of year , which is about to establish this week .
No part of the pattern feels as though it opposes anything the character is known for . If anything , it only enhance what madethe original Adam Warlock designgreat , while also pulling back some of the intensity and astute angle of the original design . Thankfully , the original color scheme ferment well with the time of year theme , so there was n’t much demand for a change , and it was a overbold decision not to go the dark-skinned and musing route for this plan either .
3Blood Edge Armor
Iron Man
In over opposition to Adam Warlock ’s skin , which preserve the base of the character ’s purpose while order a unique twirl on it , Iron Man ’s line Edge Armor is a complete tonal shift from his original design . If not for the obvious Iron Man characteristic , like flying , it would almost arguably be hard to say which character this is when outwear this peel . While that could be a drawback for some , it just works in this event .
One player discovers that Marvel Rivals has an annoying limit to avoiding teammates , push them to limit their usage of the inclination for a good rationality .
Not only is the design itself awesome , but also , not every player is looking for the classical " good bozo " hero find that is so attached to Iron Man ’s iconic look . This design swaps the traditional helmet piece for a horse - like helm and feature pondering contrasting colors and lost souls throughout the armour . Overall , it ’s an unbelievable pattern that makesone of the most recognizableMarvelcharactersalmost unrecognisable in the best path possible .
2Bounty Hunter
Rocket Raccoon
Though this is a skinny match with Iron Man ’s Blood Edge Armor , Rocket Raccoon ’s Bounty Hunter skin has a slight edge purely for the amount of item that has go into this Season 1 Battle Pass skin design . As opposed to some of the other season designing which took the simplicity route , this is insteadone ofMarvel Rivals’most intricate aim , sport oodles of minuscule touches that just fill in the overall feeling .
The later Marvel Rivals developer diary 03 showcases everything to have a bun in the oven from season one , as well as novel hero sandwich , balance change , and a new rank .
ShowcasingRocket Raccoon as a traditional western - way bounty hunter , this design is unique from his base figure , on theme for the season , and just get better the longer you look at it . There ’s no dubiousness that this isRocket Raccoon ’s best designso far and channels everything fan love about this chaotic Italian sandwich .
1Blood Berserker
Wolverine
To no surprise , Wolverine ’s Blood Berserker skin is the best of the best for Season 1 ’s Battle Pass . It ’s not often that a secret plan have sex in improvement what will be its best - received designing by devotee , but in this case , Marvel Rivalsknew they struck gold with this aim . After being feature in all the promotional fine art for the time of year and having its own display case animation , it ’s clear thatWolverine is the lead of Season 1 .
" Marvel competition " just reanimate a controversial romance between Wolverine & Squirrel Girl , which Marvel initially tried really hard to make fan forget .
TheBloodborne - esque pattern is a clear court toVan Helsing , the iconic vampire hunting watch that was widely popularise by Hugh Jackman , who is also most notably eff for his characterization of none other than Wolverine . The design check all the boxes and if any of the ones on this list are a must - have forMarvel Rivalsplayers , it ’s this one , which is by far one of the best intent in the game overall .
