Although the hero shooter genre is not the easiest to navigate for new titles in a rapidly evolving gaming landscape, Marvel Rivals seems to be carving its own path by holding nothing back and providing an experience unlike any other.

Sure, the core of the game may be similar to how Blizzard Entertainment handles things over at the Overwatch end, but a huge advantage that NetEase Games clearly has over the competition is the massive roster of characters from Marvel comics that is at the developer’s disposal.

With no official release date in sight but a closed beta test that just kicked off, NetEase has been gradually giving each major playable character trailer reveals, and fans have noticed that one of these characters can actually prove to be quite overpowered once players finally get their hands on the game.

Marvel Rivals Fans Notice an Ability That Could Turn the Tide During an Intense Match

Considering that the Lethal Protector is set to live up to their name and gearing up to be the ultimate tank hero in the upcoming NetEase Games title, Venom having defensive abilities was not entirely unexpected, but the kind of power that comes with it has definitely brought a lot of attention to the character.

In the official character reveal footage for Eddie Brock’s symbiotic form earlier this month, Venom is seen causing all kinds of havoc on the battlefield, but despite it seeming like the character is just about to die in a short while, their health regenerates as they activate their ultimate ability. However, the twist is that it is not a small amount of health that gets regenerated; it is actually 1200 HP, which could naturally turn the tide of any intense match.

Of course, the role of Vanguard Venom is supposed to be that of a protector for their teammates, so it makes sense for NetEase to give them this healing ability, especially when facing against extremely strong characters like Adam Warlock.

Players Are Even More Thrilled About Venom’s Inclusion in the Game’s Playable Roster

To make the experience feel worthy of the superhero comics, NetEase Games has ensured that each character feels truly powerful, so although Venom’s healing may be considered overpowered, it could be balanced out by other strong abilities.

Marvel Rivals may have fumbled with some of its other character reveals, but where NetEase Games disappointed Spider-Man fans, his arch-nemesis has had a more than welcome reception by the community.
