In recent updates, Marvel Rivals has possibly showcased a new symbiote skin for The Thing, who has received various cosmetics in Season 3. NetEase Games is gearing up for a significant mid-season update scheduled for August 8, introducing the character Blade from the game.

In the July 24 update for Marvel Rivals, a new team-up dynamic has been added featuring the Human Torch and The Thing. This ability, named First Steps, is intended to enhance the agility of The Thing. In this ability, Human Torch can carry The Thing through the air and drop him onto the battlefield, allowing him to launch a surprise attack on unsuspecting opponents.

Currently, details about the duration of this team-up skill remain uncertain, and players are encouraged to take advantage of it while it’s available. Additionally, recent leaks from dataminer X0X_LEAK hint at new comic artwork featuring The Thing in a symbiote outfit. While this does not confirm the skin’s availability, it aligns with the ongoing story arc in the game.

Lastly, this collaboration follows another recent launch, which introduced The Thing’s new skin from the MCU film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, arousing mixed reactions among fans.
