The new season kicks off with the arrival of the Fantastic Four! Hard to believe anyone could tire of 33 heroes in a single month, but the developers are already treating players to a brand-new quartet. Two are here now, with the others joining the roster later.

First up are Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. Thing and Human Torch will follow, bringing tank and duelist roles respectively, and completing the Fantastic Four Team-Up. This Team-Up enhances Invisible Woman's healing, while Mister Fantastic gains a rapid health restoration ability.
Invisible Woman
With relatively few support characters currently in the game, Invisible Woman offers a welcome addition for players who enjoy this role.

Her attacks pierce through multiple characters, damaging opponents and healing allies—highly effective in crowded situations. However, her limited range necessitates close proximity to teammates.
Invisible Woman can also turn invisible, but it requires 6 seconds of inactivity (no abilities, attacks, or being attacked). This lengthy requirement makes it situational. However, she heals while invisible.
A more practical invisibility method is her double jump, a useful escape tactic. Save it for emergencies to avoid being caught without a retreat.

Right-clicking places a shield in front of a selected ally. It's fragile, so prioritize positioning it in front of duelists and repositioning it to protect injured teammates, as it provides area healing.

She can also attract and repel opponents. Repelling serves primarily for self-defense, perhaps before a side jump. Attracting helps allies close the distance on opponents for a coordinated attack.
Invisible Woman can also fire a sphere that pulls opponents into its area of effect, dealing damage. Excellent for controlling narrow passages and adding extra damage to groups of enemies.

Three consecutive melee attacks push opponents away. This is often ineffective, as it leaves her vulnerable. Repelling (E) or the double jump are generally better options.
Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team. While useful, the stationary nature of the zone makes it susceptible to area-of-effect attacks that can quickly wipe out its occupants.

Overall, Invisible Woman is well-balanced. While not surpassing Luna Snow or Mantis, she's comparable in effectiveness. Her gameplay can be challenging, but her abilities offer tactical depth and strong team support.
Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic is a truly unique character, reflecting his powers.

His attacks reach medium range, and aiming sideways causes his fists to hit any enemies in their path.

Using abilities and attacks fills a meter. Once full, he automatically transforms into an inflated form, significantly increasing his damage and durability.

"Shift" activates a form where he absorbs damage for a few seconds, then unleashes it in a powerful shot.

Mister Fantastic can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield. Attracting allies provides them with a shield, while attracting opponents deals damage. This is a valuable tool for battlefield mobility and survivability.

Right-clicking extends his arm to immobilize opponents, allowing him to pull them in or grab another opponent for a combined aerial throw.

His ultimate ability involves a jump followed by an area-of-effect attack that deals damage and slows opponents. Hitting at least one opponent repeats the attack. Similar to Bucky's ultimate, but often less effective.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank capabilities. He's strong, but not as powerful as the current top-tier heroes.
Both heroes are well-received, showcasing the developers' commitment to unique character designs. We eagerly anticipate the remaining additions throughout the season.
