With 33 heroes available from the start inMarvel Rivals, there were bound to be some heroes that felt clunky or underwhelming compared to others. One of the most surprising examples? Wolverine. He’s often portrayed as an unstoppable force in the comics and movies, thanks to his healing factor, adamantium claws, and relentless fighting spirit.
But in the game, he found himself outshined by other heavy hitters. While useful in certain scenarios, his abilities didn’t quite match his legendary status. However, that’s about to change, though, as Season 1 promises significant buffs for Wolverine and four other characters, alongside a host of other exciting updates.
Why Wolverine needed the buff inMarvel RivalsSeason 1
Wolverine’s presence inMarvel Rivalsnever quite lived up to his iconic status in the Marvel universe. While the game provided him with a solid basic kit, it often felt lackluster compared to others.His kit didn’t do justice to hisferocity in a game where power and synergy reign supreme.
His abilities particularly his dash, which allowed him to reposition enemies (usually enemy tanks), provided a small niche utility but didn’t really make him stand out or be useful in most scenarios. Simply because players have better options for damage, survivability, or utility.

His niche abilities didn’t feel substantial enough to make him a go-to pick in many team compositions, and while his healing factor should have made him a top-tier tank, it wasn’t enough to compensate for his lackluster damage or utility.
