SUMMARY
-
The Human Torch was leaked back in August, but now we're getting a better look at its capabilities.
-
As you'd expect, he's a flying character who can throw balls and engulf enemies in flames.
-
But the most interesting thing is that he can work with Storm to ignite the final storm.
Thanks to the spoilers, we have a good idea of who will be joining the Marvel Rivals roster in the near future, with the Human Torch possibly arriving as soon as Season 1.
But we haven't heard a single word about him since August, months before the game's launch. Fortunately, just in time for Christmas, @RivalsLeaks revealed some interesting new details about its capabilities, as well as a photo of the model. Spoilers: she looks stunning.
All the abilities of the Human Torch in Marvel Rivals
According to @RivalLeaks, his four abilities are as follows:
-
Plasma Body – “enters a state of rapid ascension”
-
Pyro-Prison – “Combine fields of flame to create a wall of fire that destroys enemies”
-
Flaming Meteor – “Dives to the ground and stuns nearby enemies”
-
Blazing Blast – “Launch a fireball to create a flame in the target area.”
The Plasma Body seems to consume the Human Torch in flames so it can fly, which is exactly what it does when it yells, “HIT ON!” Why it's not called Flame On I don't know. Come on NetEase, this is a gimme.
As for his ultimate, it's said to be called Supernova, and its activation “Emits a shock wave that damages enemies within range”, turning your flames into a “tornado of fire”. If someone on your team is playing as Storm, they can finally burn a firestorm to fuel their storm.
