A DC Game Inspired by Marvel Rivals Might Adopt a Unique Character Concept

Marvel Rivals kinda sneaked up on us at the end of last year, you know? Like, out of nowhere, boom—there it was. It’s this hero shooter, and yep, it’s draped in that Marvel vibe we all love (or can’t get away from). Think about it: you’ve got these 6v6 matches, full-throttle action, with big Marvel hitters but also some of those “who’s that?” types. Ever heard of Jeff the Land Shark? No? Me neither, but he’s there.

But the real standout—at least for me—is this tag team, Cloak & Dagger. Why? Well, you’re juggling two characters at once, and it’s genius, really. Makes you wonder if DC’s eyeing that playbook because I bet Fire and Ice could pull off something similar. Imagine it: one blasts damage, the other patches everyone up. Can’t you just see it?

Now, back to my rant—sorry, where was I? Yeah, right. Cloak & Dagger’s whole shtick gives you this tightrope walk of styles. And listen, if DC threw Fire and Ice into their own hero shooter spin (big if, but humor me), they’d be a riot. Fire’s all fiery chaos—predictable I know—but Ice, she’s the cool counterpoint. Together, they’re like PB&J but with more, I dunno, punching? And I know I’m rambling, but what if Fire also healed with her flashy green flames? Mind-blowing, kind of, because that means Fire’s got more layers than we thought.

Okay, DC’s not exactly killing it in the gaming scene lately. There’s been hiccups, let’s just say, but a hero shooter could change the tune. Sure, it might scream “Marvel clone,” but hey—good artists borrow, right? And if Marvel Rivals keeps climbing, maybe DC could dive in. But for now, we’re left wishing and dreaming. Only time will tell if they’ll leap onto this game train and crank out something to marvel (hah, pun!) at. Here’s hoping!
