Deadpool arrives in Marvel Rivals for Season 6, starting January 16. He operates as a flex character able to switch between tank, damage, and support roles during a match. The moveset features erratic movements, comic-book-style frames, and fourth-wall-breaking mechanics that make his playstyle unpredictable. Players obtain role-specific buffs by opening an in-game Marvel Rivals comic book that Deadpool flips through to select upgrades. One ability creates a mini streamer portrait on an opponent's screen that strikes them with a hammer, functioning as a disruptive, meta-aware status effect. The kit reflects Wade Wilson's chaotic, troublemaking personality.
"He's a flex character that is capable of swapping between the tank, damage, and support roles throughout a match, and he already looks like a pretty busted version of all three based on the first gameplay trailer. But one of the cool, less-talked-about aspects of Deadpool's kit is how it implements his status as a fourth-wall-breaking troublemaker into his ability set."
"Throughout a match, Deadpool will level up with buffs depending on his role, and you access these by opening up a Marvel Rivals comic book that Deadpool will flip through as you choose your upgrades. He also has abilities that break the fourth wall, such as one that shows a mini streamer portrait of the hero on an opponent's screen that smacks them around with a hammer."
