Recently, there have been some new details that originate from the description of a Twitch Drop announcement. Twitch Drops are rewards that can be earned by watching specific games and streamers. The descriptions imply:
- The name of Season 3: Marvel Rivals Season 3: The Abyss Awaken.
- The characters Phoenix and Blade are coming as new characters.
- The Twitch Drops for Season 3 are announced for July 11, which suggests that Season 3 will start on that day.
The information about the two characters is not entirely new, as the heroes have reportedly been leaked several months ago.
Jean Grey is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe
Who is Jean Grey anyway? The mutant is considered one of the most powerful figures in the entire Marvel universe, especially when she merges with the cosmic Phoenix Force. Her alternate identity is very powerful. Depending on the universe and film series, Jean Grey is either dead or still alive.
How strong is the mutant? Jean Grey, also known as Phoenix, is classified as an Omega-level mutant: These are mutants whose dominant power is considered an undefinable upper limit of the specific classification of that power and is more or less immeasurable (via x-men.fandom). Notable Omega mutants include Ororo Munroe (Storm) and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto). Both are playable characters in Marvel Rivals.
Phoenix is one of the strongest telepaths and telekinetics: She can read minds, control them, manipulate memories, create mental pain, use hypnosis, and even suppress or amplify the X-gene of other mutants (via Marvel Database).
Jean Grey can alter reality, time, and matter at will and is considered unbeatable by many. Only absolute cosmic entities such as Eternity or Thanos are stronger than her.
Compared to earlier hero shooters like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals offers a wide selection of characters with already 37 playable heroes, but the new number 38 garnered a lot of attention at the time: Everyone is only talking about the thighs of the new heroine in Marvel Rivals
