Exciting news for Marvel Rivals fans as new leaks about Jean Grey have surfaced! The latest leaks have revealed potential skills that Jean Grey might have in the game in the future. In this piece, I will predict how Jean Grey will impact gameplay based on her leaked information and lore.
Jean Grey Leaked Kit and Abilities
Based on the leaked information, Jean Grey will most likely be a new Duelist in the game, featuring a kit that many have predicted and hoped for. Staying true to her comic origins, she will possess powerful telekinetic and psychic abilities.
In the comics, Jean Grey is an Omega-Level mutant—one of the most powerful in the Marvel universe. She is considered S+ tier among superheroes, thanks to her connection with the Phoenix Force.
Before we go any further, let's take a look at all the leaked abilities:
Human Form:
- Psychic Explosion
- Telekinetic Explosion
- Telekinetic Transfer
- Psychokinetic Transfer
- Shattered Star Impact
Psychic Explosion and Telekinetic Explosion seem to be Jean Grey's basic attacks, which will likely be mid-range. While there are no further details on what these abilities do, a confirmed leak suggests that she will have a skill capable of muting an enemy target, preventing them from casting abilities.
Phoenix Form:
- Phoenix Shadow
- Phoenix Ray
- Phoenix Punishment
- Phoenix Wings Flying
- Phoenix Elegy
I expect that activating the Phoenix Form will not be as simple as Cloak & Dagger's form switch or Bruce Banner's transformation. Instead, it will likely require a unique mechanic where Jean Grey must die while her ultimate is fully charged, triggering an automatic resurrection as the Phoenix.
The leak also confirmed that her ultimate ability will burn the area for five seconds before respawning (or possibly before resurrecting?). If my prediction is correct, this mechanic would function similarly to Phoenix’s ultimate in Dota 2, where it burns the enemies while resurrecting.
Jean Grey Gameplay Prediction
Jean Grey is an Omega-Level mutant, and she should reflect that power in Marvel Rivals. As one of the strongest heroes in the Marvel universe—comparable to Scarlet Witch with her Chaos Magic—she is expected to be a high-tier duelist. With that in mind, Phoenix will likely be a 4-5 star character, requiring a complex kit to balance her immense power.
Her leaked mute ability is a game-changer, as no character in Marvel Rivals currently has this mechanic. This skill would be really useful against ability-dependent heroes like Thor, Groot, Black Panther, and Spider-Man, especially Spider-Man, who is such an annoying backline wrecker.
Jean’s Phoenix Form will likely function as a resurrection-based ultimate, catching enemies off guard by bringing her back even stronger. Mastering this ability will require strategic play, knowing when to engage and when to activate it. Given its potential impact, it wouldn’t be surprising if she ends up being a 4-5 star difficulty hero.
She may also have team-up abilities with X-Men members like Storm or Wolverine. In the future, Cyclops could be introduced, unlocking a new synergy because they are such an iconic couple. Additionally, Emma Frost would likely have unique interactions with Jean, reflecting their complex history in the comics.
Nevertheless, it's an exciting time to anticipate the arrival of a hero as powerful as Jean Grey in Marvel Rivals. However, keep in mind that this information is based on leaks, so take everything with a grain of salt until official details are confirmed.
