The New Heroes: Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman

The initial additions, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, bring unique gameplay styles. Thing (tank) and Human Torch (duelist) will round out the Fantastic Four team-up, further enhancing their combined capabilities. The team-up mechanic provides Invisible Woman with amplified healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.
Invisible Woman: A Versatile Support Hero
The introduction of Invisible Woman is a welcome addition to the relatively small support class.

Her attacks pierce multiple targets, simultaneously damaging enemies and healing allies—highly effective in crowd control. While her range is limited, her effectiveness is maximized when positioned near teammates. She possesses the ability to turn invisible after six seconds of inactivity, providing a healing period, though this is often impractical due to the time requirement. A more effective invisibility tactic utilizes her double jump for swift escapes.

Her right-click deploys a temporary shield in front of an ally, offering protection and healing to nearby characters. Strategic placement and repositioning are key to maximizing its effectiveness. She also boasts the ability to attract or repel opponents, providing both offensive and defensive options. A projectile sphere pulls enemies into a damaging zone, ideal for chokepoints and crowd control.

A three-hit melee combo pushes enemies away, though its viability is often limited in intense combat situations. Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone, offering tactical advantages but vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Invisible Woman offers a balanced and tactically rich support role, comparable in effectiveness to established heroes like Luna Snow and Mantis.
Mister Fantastic: A Unique Blend of Duelist and Tank
Mister Fantastic presents a fascinating and unique character.

His medium-range attacks can be strategically angled to hit multiple targets. His abilities and attacks fill a meter, triggering a powerful inflated form with increased damage and durability.

His "Shift" ability allows him to absorb damage for a short period, releasing it in a powerful counterattack. He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield for himself or inflicting damage on opponents.

His right-click extends his arm to restrain enemies, allowing for further manipulation. His ultimate ability involves an area-of-effect attack, slowing opponents and repeating if successful, similar to Bucky's ultimate but often less impactful.

Mister Fantastic effectively bridges the gap between duelist and tank, offering strong capabilities without quite reaching the top tier heroes.
Both heroes offer a fresh and unique take on gameplay, demonstrating the developers' commitment to character diversity. The anticipation builds for the arrival of Thing and Human Torch, promising even more exciting additions to the season.
