As a long-time Marvel fan who has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous characters within the expansive universe, I can’t help but feel a tinge of excitement at the prospect of Ultron joining the ranks of playable heroes in Marvel Rivals. Having been both a menacing villain and a complex antagonist in various stories, Ultron’s potential addition to this game brings with it a rich backstory and a wide array of abilities that could potentially shake up the gameplay dynamics.
Although Marvel Studios has achieved great box-office success, it occasionally stumbles, and some viewers believe that the portrayal of the super robot Ultron in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” was a significant blunder.
Nonetheless, this hasn’t deterred creatives from attempting to add an intriguing twist to the character throughout the years. He was a significant adversary in the initial season of the animated “What If…?” series, and rumors suggest that he will transition into a playable hero in the newly released “Marvel Rivals.
Ultron’s Possible Abilities in Marvel Rivals
From the tweets by RivalsLeaks, it seems I’m in for a treat as a gamer! They hint that Ultron, a new support character, might join our gaming universe at some point. As of now, we don’t have a full game model to ogle at, but there are some tantalizing character art pieces floating around. Can’t wait to see how this iconic villain shapes up in the game!
Ultron is anticipated to serve as a tactician, which is equivalent to their term for a healer/supporter. His toolkit primarily involves summoning drones that can either inflict damage on opponents or restore health to allies. Furthermore, he has the ability to fly, placing him among the highly mobile heroes, comparable to Iron Man in terms of mobility.
As for Ultron’s abilities, there are said to be:
Primary Fire – Encephalo-Ray – Ultron releases a burning energy beam
Follow Ultron’s trajectory swiftly, subsequently transition into a free-flying state.
Passive – Algorithm Correction – Hold [jump] to fall slowly.
Ultron calls in drones, boosting the health of allies near them. These drones are drawn towards both Ultron and any ally bearing the ‘Imperative: Patch’ mark.
LShift – Command: Repair Drone – Ultron orders a drone to trail an ally. This drone primarily focuses on healing all team members within its vicinity, with a particular emphasis on the designated ally.
In the game, Ultimate – Rage of Ultron, you can call upon Ultron’s drones to unleash Encephalon-Rays, which can either harm your opponents or restore health to your teammates.
Keep in mind: At this stage, the information provided is preliminary, so there’s a chance that Ultron’s characteristics might alter upon his official unveiling – if he gets officially unveiled, that is.
No Strings On Me
In simpler terms, Ultron is a formidable artificial intelligence character within the Marvel Universe. If his plan in “Age of Ultron” had been successful, he would have solidified himself as one of the most powerful entities across multiple universes (according to “What If…”).
In essence, the specifics of how this game’s Ultron originated aren’t clear yet, but for comic book enthusiasts, it’s well-known that Hank Pym, also known as Ant-Man, was his creator, not Iron Man (Tony Stark). Given that Ultron is a metallic being capable of flight, it’s easy to see the resemblance to Iron Man. However, if Ultron were able to shrink or grow to immense sizes, the havoc he could wreak would be unparalleled.
From my perspective as a gaming enthusiast, while it’s yet unconfirmed, there’s a buzz among fans that Ultron might be making an appearance in our game, possibly alongside other speculated characters like members of the Fantastic Four and Blade. Given the significant role Ultron is anticipated to play in Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Vision” series, it seems plausible that they could drop him around the same time as the series premiere, leveraging the excitement generated by the Ultron character.
Until we get an official tease or announcement, all fans can do is guess.
Though there’s no official confirmation about Ultron, Marvel Rivals has been launched for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5.
