With the MCU’s Fantastic Four coming out soon, fans are excited to play as the Human Torch in Marvel Rivals. The character was leaked a while back, exciting players who wanted to see the Fantastic Four in this superhero shooter. Now that everyone knows these characters are coming, they want to learn more about these heroes.
Thanks to his outgoing personality and powers, Johnny Storm tends to be everyone’s favorite in the Fantastic Four. It will be interesting to see if the same thing happens in Rivals, as players already have several favorites in the shooter. Luckily, more heroes and villains will be added to the game as time passes so that players will have more favorites.
Now, without further ado, here’s what we know about Human Torch in Marvel Rivals.
Release date
No release date for the Human Torch in Marvel Rivals has been revealed, at the time of writing. Leaks have shown Human Torch and The Thing in the game’s character select screen, hinting they will be added in Season 1. However, nothing has been confirmed, so fans have to wait for more information.
Leakers have confirmed that Ultron will be coming in Season 1, but fans are hoping he doesn’t come alone. Adding Human Torch alongside Ultron would be great, giving fans two unique heroes right out of the gate. If they can add The Thing alongside them, it would be even better.

Role
We still don’t know what kind of role Human Torch will have in Marvel Rivals. Based on his long-range attacks, he could be an interesting Duelist or Vanguard, the latter being a lot more likely. It will be interesting to see just how useful he is in the game, especially compared to Jeff the Landshark.
