A lot of Marvel Rivals’ players are waiting for Deadpool to drop in, and we might already have a clue.

While Marvel Rivals might be the crown jewel of the gaming world right now, it’s iconic how the game will forever remain incomplete as long as our very own Marvel Jesus, aka. Deadpool, is not included in the roster of heroes from which players can choose.

However, there is no need for any outrage just yet, because it seems the creators of the game are just as excited for our friendly neighborhood regenerating anti-hero to drop in the game, even leaving behind a few clues for the same.

It was not until the movie adaptation of our favorite Red-suited superhero came out that Deadpool became a household name for every pop culture enthusiast, and much of the credit goes to Ryan Reynolds.

On the game’s subreddit, a user showcased a significant clue about when Deadpool might appear in the game. They pointed out the close relationship between Deadpool and Wolverine, another Marvel hero who not only already features in the game but also starred alongside Deadpool in a film last year.

The user highlighted how Wolverine’s spray in Marvel Rivals comes in a broken heart shape with his artwork on it. The missing other half of the part obviously hints towards Deadpool, with the whole heart in two pieces gimmick being a major promotional piece used last year as a part of the aforementioned film’s promotion.

Deadpool, the fan-favorite Marvel anti-hero, is known for unpredictability and unique combat style. When he finally makes his way into the game, fans can expect his abilities to reflect his quirky personality and fighting skills.

His team-up abilities can revolve around not only Wolverine but also Spider-Man, as both have shown to be pretty close in the Marvel Comic Universe. We might also get to see a passive ability from Deadpool, allowing him to speedily regenerate when away from opponents given his speed healing.

Deadpool’s katanas are as iconic as his guns. If the developers decide to make him a duelist, then his melee-based ability could involve a flurry of sword strikes, perhaps with a bleed effect that deals damage over time to opponents.
