Marvel Rivals Season 1 is here and features Reed and Susan Richards from Fantastic Four as playable characters. Admire Rivals gamers around the world, including myself, are already falling in love with the founding pair of Marvel’s First Family. However, Mister Fantastic has attracted a cult following among fans One piece fans.
On social media, Marvel Rivals players can’t stop comparing Mister Fantastic to One piecethe eternally hopeful hero, Monkey D. Luffy. As a Marvel comic book and One piece Fan, I can’t disagree with them.
Marvel Rivals players can’t get enough of Reed D. Richards
If you know even a little about the Fantastic Four or One pieceyou may have already seen these two pliant boys placed side by side for comparison on forums and blogs. Both characters are notable for their rubber bodies, and some comic book and anime fan circles compared and contrasted the events of two years ago Marvel Rivals or its uncontrolled success, there were even twinkles in the eyes of NetEase Games.
However, within hours of the first trailer for Mister Fantastic being released, people began to notice an uncanny resemblance between Reed and Luffy that went beyond their surface-level resemblance. Most of Reed’s signature abilities cause him to inflate himself and become an oversized version of himself, with inflated arms and fists that would make his stone-skinned best friend, Ben “The Thing” Grimm, jealous.
With its reinforced, compressed body and mammoth limbs, Marvel RivalsMr. Fantastic spends a lot of time looking like the character Luffy from Gear 4. If you don’t know One piecethis is the fourth version of the enhanced form that Luffy takes when he uses the power of the Devil Fruit to strengthen his body.
Pseudo-Gear 4 Mister Fantastic is quickly becoming a meme Marvel Rivals“player base”. Many fans are exercising their artistic talents by sharing unique “Reed D. Richards” fan art on social media. Some are plain drawings that play up a joke, but others are full comics depicting Reed as a Shonen anime character that I want to read more about.
I read Marvel comics and One piece over the years, and I’m honestly jealous that I missed the similarities between Marvel’s most drawn-out genius and the stalwart captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m playing Mister Fantastic Marvel Rivals it became even funnier.
