Marvel Rivals is getting ready to release Season 2: Hellfire Gala, and while players are buzzing with excitement over the Gala-themed content, new leaks have surfaced suggesting that Professor X might release sooner than expected. Let’s dive into the leaked details—and also explore some predictions on how Professor X could fit into the game’s meta.
Professor X Leaked Kit and Abilities
A third party source has datamined that Professor X might come sooner than expected. This theory is also further partially confirmed by the new Season 2 Krakoa Map trailer, which shows Professor X's statue and in-game design.
Based on the leak, Charles Xavier is listed as a Strategist character. The leak also revealed ability names for Professor X. However, remember that these came from leaks, so take them with a grain of salt. The mentioned skills are:
- X-Men Collection
- Potential Stimulation
- Mind Projection
There are no more details about the leaked abilities. We'll make sure to update this page as soon as there is more information about his skills.
Professor X Gameplay Prediction
While there are no details about Professor X's abilities and gameplay in Marvel Rivals, we sure can predict how he will shape up in the game based on the lore and the current meta. Xavier is listed as a Strategist character, which is really fitting for his character and powers.
Currently, there are no Strategists who could debuff enemy powers and stats, so it would be really interesting if Professor X's kit is focused on debuffing enemies. He is a really powerful mind reader and mind controller, so maybe he could get into enemies' heads and make them let their guard down.
He is also known as someone who can read and enter multiple minds at once. This could really open up possibilities for his ultimate. It would be really cool if he can heal every member of his team, no matter how far the teammates are from him, or make allies invincible to normal hits for a short duration.
He might also be able to render teammates invisible. That would be a really cool way to support a teammate. As seen in comics and the movies, Professor X can manipulate minds to not see him and his allies. This would work really well in the game.
As for his attack style, I would say that since he is a telepath, it’s only logical for him to have a hitscan attack—maybe a psionic blast that immediately reduces his target's HP by tick damage.
When Will Professor X Release?
While no official information nor leaked information about his release is available, we can predict that he might be released in Season 3 mid-season. Blade will likely be the first character to be introduced in Season 3.
Ultron will be introduced in the mid-season of Season 2, so it does not make sense for another Strategist to be released right after.
Remember that these are all based on leaks and predictions, so take everything with a grain of salt, and it's best to wait until the official information is out.
