A new Captain America Hellfire Gala skin has been dropped as part of a fresh batch of Marvel Rivals skins, including Emma Frost, Ultron, Psylocke, Wolverine, Scarlett Witch, and Black Panther. This move has only added to the anticipation building for the uber-popular video game. Marvel Rivals Season 2 is set to release on April 11, 2025, and the hype is building at an unprecedented pace.
Marvel Rivals' Captain America Hellfire Gala skin sends fans into a tailspin
There was a frenzied atmosphere on the internet as the fans greeted the Marvel Rivals Hellfire skins with much enthusiasm, especially for new arrivals, Emma Frost and Ultron. Everything seemed to be going fine until the Captain America Hellfire Gala skin dropped, and all hell broke loose. The reason? It looked nothing like Steve Rogers, which led many fans to wonder if he was Steve's distant cousin.
This sparked a wave of hilarity on social media, which eventually led to a full-blown existential crisis for some poor souls who thought they were getting their favorite Star-Spangled Avenger. Fans couldn't help but compare him to other buffed-up characters- from Eddie Brock to Cody Rhodes, from Geese Howard to Battle Academia Garen, fans made sure to leave no one out of the comparison party.
Even Homelander found his way into the conversations, as fans wondered if Steve Rogers had taken Compound V at last:
"We have Homelander at home”, joked one fan (via X / @scrit_)
"Homelander Captain America", remarked another (via X / @TiTanSwan27)
Another fan quipped:
"Didnt know homelander and kingpin had a child"
Captain America's lean build has always been part of his appeal so when the skin dropped with Steve's absurdly muscular physique, it sent fans spiraling out of control. Some took this as an opportunity to throw shades at the makers instead:
"They really turning this into a fashion show... I am not mad one bit, WE AURA FARMING FROM SPAWN TO OBJECTIVE (via X / @metafighterx)
While some fans were awestruck by the sheer audacity of the Captain America Hellfire Gala skin, others began questioning whether this was truly Sam Wilson or if we’d accidentally stumbled into an alternate universe. The roast session kept going on till midnight as fans poked fun at the character design:
"He looks like a high school bully", jested one fan (via X / @caveman2ez)
That’s not Captain America , that’s Capitalist America", quipped another (via X / @KhangNguyenBui2)

Captain America's Hellfire Gala skin has undoubtedly become a talking point among fans. Whether you adore his absurdly muscular build or find it laughably over-the-top, there’s no denying that this version of Cap has certainly contributed to building the hype for the upcoming season.
Only time will tell if this iteration of Steve Rogers will be able to win over the fandom or not. But one thing’s for sure: this Cap doesn’t miss leg day, and that’s a foundation we can all stand on!
