In the first season update of Marvel Rivals, The Fantastic Four are joining the game, and among them, Mr. Fantastic is expected to cause a stir in the game’s current dynamics. But here’s the catch – his appearance in the game might be a bit off-putting due to its unsettling design.
Mister Fantastic has a knack for the unusual, as his extraordinary abilities enable him to elongate and twist his physique into peculiar shapes.
In a nutshell, Dr. Reed isn’t unique in having stretchable limbs as characters; for instance, Luffy from One Piece and Elastigirl from The Incredibles also demonstrate remarkable flexibility and adaptability with their bodies.
Instead, unlike the other characters mentioned, enthusiasts of Marvel Rivals find Mister Fantastic’s design in the game to be both eerie and disquieting.
Mister Fantastic design is creeping out players
On a widely-shared post about X, a player of Marvel Rivals expressed that Mister Fantastic is surprisingly disconcerting to behold, despite the noticeable resemblances between Luffy from One Piece. “This observation makes me admire even more how they portray Luffy’s rubber abilities in the series. Mister Fantastic, on the other hand, is simply unsettling.
Unlike Luffy, who exhibits elasticity similar to rubber, Mr. Fantastic boasts an unbounded ability to reshape, extend, swell, and sculpt his physique. His comic book depictions have historically emphasized this eerie quality, with readers often commenting on the unsettling ways that the flexible scientist twists his body into contorted positions.
As a gamer, I get the sense that’s exactly what Reed’s powers are designed for – to create an uneasy vibe. To put it another way, he’s managed to transform his eye into something resembling a microscope’s lens, adding a unique and unsettling touch to the gameplay experience.
💭 I’m amazed by how skillfully Luffy’s rubber abilities are portrayed in the series! 🤩
Frankly, Mr. Fantastic leaves me feeling a bit uncomfortable when I see him.— CJ🌓 (@CJDLuffy) January 7, 2025
Additionally, it’s worth noting that both Marvel Rivals and the comics’ portrayal of Dr. Reed feature a realistic design, mimicking a human form, potentially causing that unsettling feeling often associated with the Uncanny Valley.
One player pointed out that Reed indeed gives off an unsettling vibe, which was intentionally designed, as his appearance becomes strange when he unleashes his powers. However, he seems to find it enjoyable while others are left feeling uneasy. Moreover, he employs these powers without any real need.
