Also along Deadpool, the 6th seasons second hero teased was Elsa Bloodstone, a monster hunter that debuted in Marvel Comics back in 2001. Deadpool and Elsa mark the 46th and 47th characters to join the roster in the ever popular Hero Shooter, which just celebrated it’s 1 year anniversary last week on December 6th. What roles each character will fill remains to be seen, but based off the trailer both characters will likely fall in the Duelist role, alongside other characters such as Moon Knight, Winter Soldier, and Black Widow.

In the lead up to Season 5 of Marvel Rivals, which came with the release of X-Mens power couple Rogue and Gambit, a leaked character card showed the silhouette of the Merc with a Mouth and their dual katanas, implying that the character will be joining the free to play game in the months coming ahead. With season 5.5 releasing tomorrow, December 12 and Rogue dropping at the same time, we won’t have to wait much longer to get our shot to play as everyone’s favorite antihero.
