Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are now playable, adding a support and a unique damage-dealing/tank hybrid to the roster. Thing (tank) and Human Torch (duelist) will round out the Fantastic Four Team-Up later in the season. This Team-Up offers enhanced healing for Invisible Woman and a rapid health regeneration ability for Mister Fantastic.
Invisible Woman: A Versatile Support
Invisible Woman brings a much-needed support role to the game, offering a refreshing change of pace.

Her attacks pierce through multiple enemies, damaging opponents while simultaneously healing allies – ideal for crowd control. However, her limited range necessitates close proximity to teammates.
She possesses the ability to turn invisible, but the six-second requirement without attacking or being attacked makes this a situational tactic, primarily useful for healing during brief periods. A more practical invisibility method is her double jump, providing a crucial escape mechanism.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield in front of an ally, providing temporary protection and healing to those nearby. Strategic repositioning of this shield is key to maximizing its effectiveness.

She can also attract and repel enemies. Repelling serves as a defensive maneuver, while attracting helps allies close the distance for attacks. Her area-of-effect sphere pulls opponents in, dealing damage and controlling chokepoints.

While a three-hit melee combo pushes enemies back, its vulnerability makes it less practical than her other escape options.
Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone, but its stationary nature makes it susceptible to area-of-effect attacks. Despite this, Invisible Woman offers a balanced and tactically interesting gameplay experience.

While not surpassing top-tier supports like Luna Snow and Mantis, Invisible Woman provides comparable effectiveness with a unique playstyle.
Mister Fantastic: A Damage-Dealing Tank
Mister Fantastic offers a fun and unique blend of abilities.

His medium-range attacks can hit multiple targets if aimed correctly. His abilities fill a meter; upon reaching maximum, he transforms into a powerful, durable form.

His "Shift" ability allows him to absorb damage for a short duration, releasing it as a powerful counterattack.

He can attract characters, granting himself or allies a shield while dealing damage to enemies.

His right-click extends his arm to immobilize opponents, allowing for further manipulation and crowd control.

His ultimate ability is an area-of-effect attack that slows opponents and repeats if a target is hit. While similar to Bucky's ultimate, it's often less effective.

Mister Fantastic occupies a unique space between duelist and tank, offering considerable strength without quite reaching the top tier.

Both heroes are well-designed and unique additions to the game. The developers' commitment to diverse and interesting characters is evident, and we eagerly await the arrival of Thing and Human Torch.
