A Marvel Rivals leak teases a new supervillain with dual weapons, clone powers, and transformation abilities.
Marvel Rivals, the 6v6 hero shooter from NetEase Games and Marvel Games, has been a huge success since its massive launch earlier this month. With its fast-paced combat, destructible environments, stunning visuals, and diverse lineup of heroes and villains, the game has quickly become a fan favorite.
The official release marked a major milestone, but what’s keeping players hooked is the stream of leaks hinting at exciting additions to the roster. With Season 1 slated to kick off in January 2025, players are already speculating about what’s next.
Among the many rumors swirling around Marvel Rivals, leaks about potential new characters have caught fans’ attention. Recent reports have hinted at several additions, including Asgardian heroes like Valkyrie and Angela.
But the latest leak might be the most intriguing yet—a new supervillain with dual weapons and clone-based powers could be joining the roster soon.
Marvel Rivals The Hood Coming Soon?
The latest leak comes from the Twitter account X0XLEAK, which has gained a reputation for sharing datamined information about Marvel Rivals. According to new details, The Hood, a notorious supervillain from Marvel Comics, will be joining the growing roster in Marvel Rivals sometime in the future.
If the leaks are true, The Hood—also known as Parker Robbins—could bring a unique playstyle to Marvel Rivals. The datamined details suggest he has dual guns as his primary weapons. Additionally, The Hood is rumored to have a transformation ability, potentially tying into his comic book origins, where he uses a demonic cloak to gain supernatural powers.
Other The Hood’s rumored abilities in Marvel Rivals include a Dual Gun Overheat Cooling system, which likely prevents his weapons from overheating during extended use. He also has defensive capabilities, such as Shield and Shield Health Management.
One of the most exciting abilities mentioned is his clone powers which he can later detonate for explosive damage. As of right now, the release date for the Hood in Marvel Rivals is still unknown, along with his final in-game character design.
Finally, The Hood’s Demon Transformation is likely his ultimate ability, allowing him to shift into a more powerful, supernatural form. Check out the full list of leaked abilities for The Hood in Marvel Rivals below.
