10 Must-Have Comic Costumes for…

Marvel Rivals has taken the gaming universe by storm, captivating a legion of Marvel fans who now dive into the action as both iconic and niche characters. Fresh off the launch of Season 1 this week, the game unveils a dazzling array of costumes. These include both completely original designs and those inspired by the rich tapestry of comics and movies, with promises of more to come.

Marvel Costumes: A Designer’s Dream

With the growing roster of characters, we’ve pondered which comic-infused costumes should make the cut in the game. We’ve curated a list of 10 must-see costumes from the comics that deserve a spot in Marvel Rivals. Designed with the same meticulous attention seen in other Rivals costumes, they’re sure to be coveted by fans.

Let’s kick things off with Black Widow, everyone’s favorite super spy. Her core Rivals costume jazzes up the classic black suit with red accents and modern flair. From her White Widow suit in the MCU, let’s tap into her comic history with the classic ’80s gray bodysuit. This iconic ensemble retains her sleek silhouette while adding drama with an angular collar and yellow Widow Bites gauntlets. Rivals’ spin on it, with enhanced features, could make it a knockout.

Next in Line: Captain America and Moon Knight

Captain America boasts numerous memorable suits, yet the Ultimates World War II design is timeless. Its militaristic aesthetic features textures that combine with goggles and an A-adorned helmet, crafting an unforgettable look. Tweaks from Rivals designers, while preserving its core essence, would quickly make it a fan favorite.

Moon Knight fans have a plethora of choices, yet Hunter’s Moon from Jed MacKay’s run is a standout. Yehya Badr, also known as Hunter’s Moon, is another Fist of Khonshu, akin to Moon Knight in powers. His costume dazzles with a predominantly black ensemble, complemented by a white cape and gold gauntlets. A blend of Rivals’ enhancements would make this an iconic nod to the comics.

Magic and Mystery: Magik and Spider-Man

Magik from the Phoenix Five era is a compelling choice. The fiery red and gold hues shake up her usual appearance, interweaving spiky armor and black boots for familiarity. Pair this look with her soulsword, and you’ve got a fierce battlefield presence.

Spider-Man packs a closet full of unforgettable ensembles. With Scarlet Spider narrowly missing out, we spotlight the Hellfire Gala design from 2022. Its electrifying aesthetic fits Rivals’ vibe, combining neon-lit Spider detailing and sleek features that redefine Spider-Man’s look.

Classics Reimagined: Fantastic Four and Storm

The Future Foundation styles upended the costume game, offering a sleek white and black color scheme that revolutionized Marvel’s ensembles. It’s high time this iconic redesign joined Marvel Rivals, perhaps featuring both the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man.

Venturing into alternate realities, we arrive at Storm’s Age of Apocalypse look. This suit draws eyes with its black and white blend, gold sash, and vest-jacket fusion. The shorter hair and eye tattoo complete an unforgettable ensemble ripe for Rivals transformation.

Wolverine’s Fiercest Look Yet

Wolverine’s costume vault boasts gems, but the Age of Apocalypse Horseman of Death design reigns supreme. The combination of a red cloak and predominantly blue armor with silver details exudes untamed allure. If Rivals adopts this style, expect a surge of AoA Wolverines storming the scene.

These picks merely skim the surface of what’s possible in Marvel Rivals. Let us know which costumes you’d love to see join the fray! Engage with us about all things Marvel Rivals by reaching out on Bluesky @KnightofOA.
