Marvel Rivals is the newest hero shooter on the block, and it's got a roster full of iconic characters. One of the quirkiest and most surprisingly powerful heroes is Squirrel Girl. But just how old is this bushy-tailed crime-fighter? While the game doesn't give a specific number, we can make a pretty good guess.

Based on her comic book history, Squirrel Girl, also known as Doreen Green, is likely in her early twenties, probably around 20 or 21 years old. This aligns with her backstory of being a college student at Empire State University, where she's studying computer science. This youthful energy definitely comes across in her gameplay and voice lines. I remember when I first started playing, I was surprised at how young she seemed, but it totally fits her upbeat and slightly chaotic personality. It makes her victories over cosmic-level threats even more hilarious.

A College Student by Day, A Superhero by Night

Doreen's age is a big part of what makes her so relatable. She's not some ancient, all-knowing being; she's a young adult trying to balance her studies with, you know, saving the world. It’s a classic superhero trope, but with a unique, squirrel-themed twist.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we know about Squirrel Girl's age and background:

• College Life: Her time at Empire State University is a central part of her character. It's where she hones her skills and often finds herself in the middle of superhero shenanigans.
• Comic Book Clues: In her own comic series, "The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl," she celebrates her 20th birthday, which further solidifies her age range.
• A Fresh Face: In the grand scheme of Marvel heroes, some of whom are thousands of years old, Squirrel Girl is a refreshing change of pace. Her youth and optimism are a core part of her appeal.

I was playing a match the other day, and our team was getting absolutely wrecked. I was playing as Squirrel Girl, and I managed to pull off a last-minute ultimate that won us the game. My teammates were all cheering, and I just thought, "This is what being a young, underestimated hero is all about!" It was a great moment that really encapsulated her character for me.

So, while we don't have an official age for Squirrel Girl in Marvel Rivals, all signs point to her being a college-aged student in her early twenties. This makes her one of the youngest and most relatable heroes in the game, and a whole lot of fun to play.
