Marvel Rivals Introduces Rogue: A Power‑Stealing Hero
A New Hero Enters Season 5.5
Marvel Rivals is set to introduce Rogue as its newest hero in season 5.5. Following the introduction of her partner Gambit earlier this season, Rogue brings a unique and powerful ability to the game: the power to steal abilities from her enemies.
Steal and Deploy Enemy Powers
Rogue’s main ability allows her to steal powers from enemy heroes. Some of the powers she can steal include:
- Thor’s awakening state
- Doctor Strange’s shield
- Groot’s walls
- Emma Frost’s diamond state
- One of Phoenix’s attacks
- Iron Fist’s healing
- Psylocke’s invisibility
- Invisible Woman’s projectile punches
- Loki’s healing lamps
However, Rogue can only use one stolen power at a time, and she must first acquire it from an enemy.
Risk and Reward
Stealing powers requires getting up close to an opponent, which can be risky because Rogue appears to have no invincibility frames during the process. Players will need to rely on teammates for protection or hope the opposing team is too intimidated to intervene.
Potential Impact on the Game
Rogue is shaping up to be a formidable addition to Marvel Rivals. With her ability to steal powers, she could become a dominant force. As with all new heroes, she may start out overpowered but will likely be balanced as the season progresses. For now, players can look forward to using Rogue’s abilities to outmaneuver and outplay their opponents.
