Marvel Rivals: Mastering Mister Fantastic, the Stretchy Strategist
Marvel Rivals delivers a thrilling hero-shooter experience, boasting diverse gameplay and stunning visuals. As the roster expands, new characters like Mister Fantastic, introduced in Season 1, reshape the meta. Mister Fantastic, a dualist, excels at rapid movement and damage contribution, primarily through his unique grappling and pulling mechanics.

Mister Fantastic's Primary Attack
Mister Fantastic's primary attack, Stretch Punch, is a surprisingly versatile three-hit combo. The first two strikes utilize a single fist, while the final strike employs both. The stretched arm deals damage throughout its trajectory, impacting all enemies it contacts, effectively creating area-of-effect damage. This compares favorably to other heroes with multi-target primary attacks, such as Storm's Wind Blade.
Mister Fantastic's Abilities
Mister Fantastic possesses a range of abilities, best explored in the training room. Each ability contributes to his Elastic Strength passive, significantly boosting damage output when fully charged. Key stats to monitor include his base health (350) and Elasticity (visible under the crosshair), which generates 5 points per base attack and reaches a maximum of 100. He has a 3-star difficulty rating, making him challenging but manageable for players of all skill levels.
Reflexive Rubber
- Active Ability
- 12-second cooldown
Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing incoming damage for the duration. Upon expiration, he unleashes the stored damage in the direction of the player's reticle.
Flexible Elongation
- Active Ability
- 3-second cooldown
- Generates 30 Elasticity
This ability provides a shield, boosting health from 350 to 425. He pulls himself towards a target, dealing damage to enemies or granting a shield to allies, offering both offensive and defensive utility. It has two charges.
Distended Grip
- Active Ability
- 6-second cooldown
- Generates 30 Elasticity
Mister Fantastic stretches to grab a target, presenting two options: Dash (pulls him to the target) or Impact (pulls the target to him, dealing damage). Impacting a grappled enemy near another enemy allows Mister Fantastic to grapple the second target and slam them together, damaging both.
Wedded Harmony
- Team-Up Ability (requires Invisible Woman)
- 20-second duration
This ability heals Mister Fantastic for any lost health (no shield granted). It synergizes well with Invisible Woman, a Strategist character.
Elastic Strength
- Passive Ability
Each ability use builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic undergoes a Hulk-like transformation, significantly increasing damage and granting a substantial, decaying shield. He loses access to other abilities in this inflated state.
Brainiac Bounce
- Ultimate Ability
Mister Fantastic leaps and crashes down, dealing area-of-effect damage, then bounces to repeat the attack multiple times, ideal for devastating clustered enemies.
Tips for Playing Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation and shield generation make him surprisingly tanky.
Flexible Reflection
Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides both shields for Mister Fantastic and an ally, while simultaneously absorbing enemy attacks before unleashing stored damage.
Rushing Reflexive Rubber
Using Reflexive Rubber strategically, even when not actively building Elastic Strength, maximizes his inflated state's damage potential and objective control. Stacking shields from Flexible Elongation before inflating can boost his health pool to a remarkable 950.
