Elsa Bloodstone Joins Marvel Rivals on February 13
First came Deadpool, now comes Elsa Bloodstone. The redheaded gunslinger officially joins the Marvel Rivals roster this Friday, February 13, becoming the second character added in Season 6.
Elsa is a Duelist built around fast movement and burst damage, designed to get in and out of fights quickly. Her kit includes battlefield dashes, enemy traps, and cluster bombs that rain damage from above. She can switch seamlessly between mid- and long-range combat using her burst pistol and rifle, while her cooldowns shorten the longer she survives, building up her Instinct meter.
Her Ultimate ability summons the Glatrox demon, which charges enemies, launches them into the air, and sets them up for devastating follow-up shots, making her especially lethal in team fights.
Originally debuting in Bloodstone #1 (2001) by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, Elsa is the daughter of legendary monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone and a mainstay in Marvel’s supernatural corner. She’s been a member of Nextwave, the Midnight Sons, and the Avengers, and is known for her expert marksmanship, superhuman abilities, and immunity to vampire bites. MCU fans may also recognize her from Werewolf by Night, where she was played by Laura Donnelly.
She’s also being added to Mr. Pool’s Interdimensional Toy Box, expanding Deadpool’s rotating game mode lineup.
New Psionic Mayhem Features: Gamma Charge and Rocket Charge
Season 6.5 introduces new team-up abilities, including Gamma Charge, Rocket Charge, and Psionic Mayhem, expanding how heroes can combine abilities and coordinate in matches.
According to the update, these new team-ups allow heroes to combine abilities in new ways and add more coordination to team-based gameplay.
Mr. Fantastic Joins Rocket Charge
Mr. Fantastic officially joins Rocket Charge, bringing elasticity-based mobility and crowd-control tools into the mix. The addition reinforces Marvel Rivals’ broader design push toward interconnected hero systems rather than isolated kits.

Deadpool’s Monster Kingdom Championship — February 21–22

It’s positioned as both a competitive showdown and a community spectacle fitting for Marvel’s most chaotic host.
