Emma Frost looks like a great new Marvel Rivals tank, but all anyone can talk about is her thighs
Marvel Rivals' season two launching next week is the talk of the town, but not because of the game's balance changes or new map. It's all about the new hero. And when I say it's all about the new hero, I really mean the discussion is all about her thighs. Emma Frost, X-Men member and new Vanguard hero, broke the internet after her reveal yesterday. She's been a highly sought after addition ever since her existence leaked months ago, but once everyone actually saw her in-game design, minds were blown. Screenshot by Destructoid Miss Frost went rather viral after her debut (the Twitter/X post yielded over 5,000 reposts and 2.3 million views so far), thanks in large part to her quadriceps. To put it lightly, she looks like she could leg press the Hulk and The Thing at the same time, and the buzz on social media was all about her thighs. The hero's outfit highlights her icy, diamond powers (and that's without getting into her telepathic powers of persuasion), featuring white and blue colorway on boots, and a sleeved torso-covering dress and skirt. But it's her bare upper legs that sent the gaming crowd into a frenzy. A simple search of just "thighs" on social media (very NSFW, I can't illustrate enough to do this carefully and at your own discretion) yields a slew of Emma Frost reactions, memes, "fan art," and talk about the hero. And honestly, it's well-deserved. Her design in Marvel Rivals depicts her as quite voluptuous, and her thighs even appear to have jiggle physics, so the reaction was to be expected. This is not out of character for Frost, though. She's often portrayed in the comics and other depictions as using her powers of persuasion, both telepathic and feminine, for her own advantages, so it's a faithful albeit slightly exaggerated adaptation. The new tank hero's reveal sparked a lot of excitement, disbelief, and art inspiration throughout the day. But last night, NetEase Games revealed a peek at her abilities, and it's her kit I'm mostly excited about, especially as a Vanguard main. https://twitter.com/MarvelRivals/status/1907931157829923237 Emma Frost's main attack looks to be an icy wave projectile, evoking memories of Mei in Overwatch. She also has a shield she can project to block incoming damage, and the ability to switch into her organic diamond form, turning her into a melee character who also has a command grab and a kick that will send enemies flying. Her ultimate, for which she screams "KNEEL, PEASANTS," is her telepathy at work. It's an outward wave that deals damage and also draws enemies towards her, which is great for crowd control, pulling enemies off of a ledge, or just being very disruptive. Emma's kit looks balanced, fun, and varied, and that's all you can ask for when it comes to a new character in a hero shooter. My point is, Emma Frost is so much more than her thick thighs, and I'm super stoked to try her out when Marvel Rivals season two begins on April 11.
