Marvel Rivals' leakers remain undefeated, as the trailer for Season 3 confirms Blade and Phoenix, the two characters we had already reported on. The main villain will be Knull, the king of the symbiotes that Venom and Carnage play host to.
Blade has been teased since Season 1 when we were fighting Dracula. Jean Grey/Phoenix is one of the most popular comic book characters in history, so it was always not if, but when she would join her X-Men teammates already in Rivals. That list includes Magik, Psylocke, and the man on every team in the Marvel Universe, Wolverine.
I have been a huge fan of Blade for a while now. There weren't many Black comic book characters when he sliced his way onto the scene. The success of his Marvel movie paved the way for future hits such as the Iron Man and X-Men movies. We've had precious few chances to use the Daywalker in video games over the years. Now with Midnight Suns and Marvel Rivals, we're getting more Blade than we have in a long time. Beware to all villains trying to ice skate uphill.
Jean Grey has been a key component in the X-Men's long running soap opera in which they occasionally fight crime. I can't wait to hear the Punisher explain some convoluted way in which he would be able to kill Phoenix, a god-tier cosmic entity.
We don't have any word from NetEase on their abilities yet, but Season 3 drops July 11 so it shouldn't be long before we find out more about them.
