Ever since Marvel Rivals dropped in December 2024, it’s become one of the hottest free-to-play games that gamers just can’t seem to put down. With a roster of 37 playable characters, Season 1 let players step into the shoes of some of their favorite heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe - and now, it looks like Season 2.5 is about to introduce a major new character to the game.
Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 is expected to release on May 30, bringing with it the iconic and powerful villain Ultron, who will reportedly join the roster as a strategist hero. Alongside him, players can also look forward to a brand-new convoy map set in Arakko. The reveals have left fans buzzing with excitement, eager to unleash the superintelligent, superpowered humanoid robot and wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Hilarious Fan Reactions
While fans were thrilled by the news of Ultron's release in Marvel Rivals, many took to the internet to share their hilarious reactions to it.
"Mewtwo’s brother?" a fan asked.
Many fans have joked that Ultron looks like Mewtwo from Pokémon, or maybe even his long-lost brother. If that’s the case, then the best strategy to beat him might just be throwing a Master Ball at him!
"One of the finest AI bot created by RDJ 🔥," wrote another.
As this fan points out, Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Tony Stark, didn’t exactly make the best case for the use of AI - creating an AI monster that nearly destroyed the world. Now that’s quite the oops moment!
