When Does the Thing Come Out in Marvel Rivals?
November 10, 2025
Marvel Rivals fans, get ready! The ever-lovin', blue-eyed Thing is officially making his debut in the game, and we have all the details you need to know about his arrival. No need to mark your calendars, because The Thing is already available to play in Marvel Rivals as of February 21, 2025. This release coincided with the start of the second half of Season 1, bringing a much-anticipated addition to the game's roster.
The Thing, also known as Ben Grimm, is a founding member of the Fantastic Four and brings his immense strength and durability to the battlefield. His inclusion in Marvel Rivals has been a hot topic in the community. I remember scrolling through Reddit threads and seeing so much speculation about his release date. It's great to finally have him in the game. I've always been a fan of tank characters who can soak up damage and disrupt the enemy team, and The Thing seems tailor-made for that role.
What are The Thing's abilities?
The Thing's abilities in Marvel Rivals are all about getting in close and causing chaos. Here's a breakdown of what he can do:
- Rocky Jab: A rapid punch attack.
- Stone Haymaker: A powerful punch that can be charged up for more damage.
- Embattled Leap: The Thing leaps into the air and slams down, damaging and knocking back enemies.
- Yancy Street Charge: A forward charge that can break through enemy lines and disrupt their formation.
- Clobberin’ Time (Ultimate): The Thing unleashes his full power, gaining increased damage and durability for a short time.
With these abilities, The Thing is poised to be a formidable presence in any match. He's able to create space for his teammates, peel for his supports, and be a general nuisance for the enemy team.
