Player reactions to his inclusion in Marvel Rivals showcase his popularity with Marvel fans.

Some players are curious about the skins that Warlock can access once he joins the game’s roster, hoping that his latest appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows up in-game.

Other players are relieved to see him take on the role of a support tank, making way for another beloved character to play a more offensive role in their team.

Some players are concerned that Warlock’s attacks may be a bit too powerful against weaker opponents, raising concerns about in-game balancing.

It’s only a matter of time for players to find out how powerful he is, as the game inches ever closer to its final release.
