He also added that when looking at Seasons 9, 10, and 11, he feels that Respawn’s "best work has yet to be releas
Marvel _ just subverted Spider-Man’s _ most infamous retcon in the most unexpected way: via a lore drop in _Marvel Rivals _ . Nearly twenty years ago, "One More Day" controversially erased Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s marriage from canon; Rivals brilliantly subverts this contested storyline, and in the process delivers an even more heroic Spidey than in the com

When to Use Bridge Boost: The Healing Hearts' Bridge Boost should ideally be used whenever your team is lacking in healing output. It has enough potency to heal everyone in proximity due to the ricochet effect, and it also increases the amount of healing you get for a couple of seconds upon activat
"One More Day" is arguably the most maligned Spider-Man story of all time. Not just because Marvel used it to nix Peter and MJ's marriage. Fans would have learned to accept that in due time. What really rubbed readers the wrong was the utterly contrived plot Marvel delivered, in order to get to the desired end res
Apex Legends Season 7, Ascension, is the game’s biggest yet. Not only did it introduce a new Legend, the gravity manipulator Horizon, but it also brought a third map and introduced vehicles . Some members of Apex ’s development team at Respawn Entertainment recently discussed the challenges of creating so much content while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and teased what is to come for following seas
Marvel Rivals has offered a surprising glimpse at a reality that makes more sense for Spider-Man, nearly twenty years after a senseless creative decision that fans often cite as the moment the hero's lore went completely off the rails. Rivals does this by offering a simple, yet brilliant twist on the controversial "One More Day" storyline from 2
Comic fans of the Hulk have been well-served by Marvel Rivals . Available cosmetics include takes on his gangster form as Joe Fixit, post-apocalyptic form as the Maestro, and alien warlord form as the Green Scar . However, there's still room for a truly dark take on the Hulk. While the Knullified design above would be ideal, other options include the Titan form (from when Hulk was possessed by D'Spayre) and his Kluh form from the AXIS event. These are the truly evil versions of the Hulk, and would unlock his full potential for intimidat
The Hulk has an awesome new design that needs to appear in **Marvel Rivals ** ASAP. A Vanguard hero in the PvP Shooter, Hulk is one of the game's most unique characters, with players able to utilize three forms - Bruce Banner, the Hulk and the even more powerful 'Monster Hulk' form. That means each cosmetic has to really earn its place, as every new look necessitates three separate designs. For that reason, only the very best need ap
The new look is part of a Knullified variant cover initiative starring various heroes, set to celebrate the return of Venom's nemesis, who is getting his own series in January 2026. Coming from Al Ewing, Tom Waltz and Juanan Ramírez, the series follows Knull who - though resurrected - has had his powers and station stolen by the Asgardian goddess Hela . The Knullified Hulk design and cover are by Leinil Francis Yu and will appear on select copies of Infernal Hulk
While the Punisher's winterwear costume is a great look that will hopefully come to Marvel Rivals in future, fans of the hero should also check out his new Marvel Knights: Punisher series from Jimmy Palmiotti and Dan Panosian, showing an older Frank Castle in Marvel's 'THE WORLD TO COME' continuity. The older Frank has white temples, a new skull logo built into his bulletproof vest and a mouth scarf with its own sk
It's left unclear what Peter gave up, but Daredevil notes that he dealt with the devil to " save his marriage and his daughter ," making this an even deeper cut reference to the Parker baby Marvel wrote out of Spider-Man in the 1990s . Further, Daredevil narrates that saying this " hit [Spider-Man] harder than any punch on the battlefiel
"One More Day" put Aunt May on the brink of death; in order to save her, Peter Parker made a deal with Mephisto to allow his marriage to Mary Jane to be erased from existence. It was an extremely quixotic decision that most fans agree Peter would never have made if not forced to by editorial f
