Leading the charge are Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, with Thing and Human Torch to follow, filling the roles of tank and duelist respectively. They'll also synergize within a dedicated Fantastic Four Team-Up. This Team-Up enhances Invisible Woman's healing capabilities, while Mister Fantastic gains a rapid health regeneration ability.
Invisible Woman
Invisible Woman's arrival addresses a relative shortage of support characters, offering a welcome gameplay diversification.

Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging foes and simultaneously healing allies – highly effective in crowd control situations. However, her limited range necessitates close proximity to teammates.
Invisible Woman's invisibility is a strategic element. Achieving invisibility requires 6 seconds of inactivity (no abilities, attacks, or being attacked), making it situational. However, she heals while invisible. A more practical invisibility tactic is her double jump, a valuable escape mechanism best saved for critical moments.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield in front of an ally, ideally used for duelists and repositioned to protect injured teammates, offering nearby healing.

She can both attract and repel opponents. Repelling serves primarily as self-defense, while attracting assists allies in engaging targets.
Invisible Woman can launch a sphere that pulls enemies into its area of effect, dealing damage. This is particularly useful for controlling chokepoints and damaging groups of enemies.

Three consecutive melee attacks result in a forward push, though this is often less effective than her repelling ability or double jump escape.
Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team. While beneficial, its stationary nature makes it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks.

Invisible Woman is a well-balanced addition, comparable in effectiveness to Luna Snow and Mantis, offering a challenging yet rewarding playstyle with strong team support capabilities.
Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic is a unique and entertaining character, reflecting his elastic abilities.

His attacks reach medium range, with sideways aiming allowing his punches to hit multiple targets along the way.

His abilities and attacks fill a meter, triggering an inflated form upon reaching maximum, significantly increasing damage and durability.

Using "Shift" activates a damage absorption phase, releasing absorbed damage as a powerful shot.

He can attract characters, gaining a temporary shield; allies gain a shield, while opponents take damage. This is useful for battlefield positioning and survivability.

His right-click extends his arm to immobilize opponents, allowing for either pulling them in or grabbing another to throw them both into the air.

His ultimate ability involves a jump attack, dealing damage and slowing opponents; hitting at least one target repeats the attack. Similar to Bucky's ultimate, but often less effective.

Mister Fantastic blends duelist and tank elements, offering strong performance but not quite reaching the top tier heroes.
Both heroes are well-received, highlighting the developers' focus on unique character design. Further additions throughout the season are highly anticipated.
