Marvel Rivals Future Foundation skins: Everything we know about the cosmetics

The first of the Marvel Rivals Future Foundations skins has arrived in the stretchy form of Mr. Fantastic, though there are a few more on the way in the coming weeks. The seasonal update ushered in a well-received overhaul to the shooter’s meta, but, of course, it’s the cosmetics that have caught fans’ eyes.

The new costumes are just a few of the skins making the latest Marvel Rivals update’s collection the biggest yet. Picking up the Mr. Fantastic skin is free, and you will just have to take part in a Combat Chest, a new addition to the game that allows you to unlock a total of 20 new cosmetics (this includes emotes, sprays, and all the other bells and whistles). That said, it’s a time-based offer, so you’d be wise to get started soon.

Comic fans will recognise the design of the new white clad Marvel Rivals skins from the Future Foundation arc, much more sci-fi, even compared to the rest of the story.

But despite the consistency in visual design, it’s unlikely that the rest of the collection will be available through the Combat Chest. Instead, it’s expected that they will be sold through the Marvel Rivals store, as is the case with most of the best Marvel Rivals characters. Mister Fantastic is available for free if you complete Level 18 of the Combat Chest, though that will require 7,200 XP.

Mister Fantastic’s costume also comes with a snazzy visor and a newly greyed beard; silver fox vibes that could easily earn him a spot among the best Marvel Rivals skins. Thankfully, the goofy Fantasticar he’s riding in doesn’t come with the set. Instead, you’ll get a few additional trinkets:

Reed Richards’ emote also lets you invert the colour scheme on the costume, which is why it looks different in the MVP cutscene as opposed to the in-game footage. However, as of yet, we know quite little about what else will be included in the sets for the other characters who are getting Future Foundation skins.

As expected, the community’s reaction to this has been one of bewilderment. Why Spidey and not the Human Torch? Well, he’s probably not going to be getting a Future Foundation skin this time round. In this comic arc, he sacrifices himself to save the others. 

That’s the backstory to the Future Foundation, whose insignia is three dots as opposed to the classic symbol, representing their loss. This does change later on in the comics after it’s revealed that Johnny Storm didn’t die, so there’s a glimmer of hope that he’ll also see a skin to fit in with the rest of the group. We’ll have to see.

We’ve only just gotten through the first few pages of Marvel Rivals Season 2.5. Based on a pattern of former release dates for Marvel Rivals skins, NetEase typically spaces apart cosmetic drops by a week. Since we had Mister Fantastic on May 30th, we’ll see the other follow a similar pattern.

Unfortunately, we won’t know which ones will come when, although it seems logical that the Invisible Woman will be next. Other upcoming Marvel Rivals skins, such as the Summer Swimsuit skins, will be released on July 9, 2025.

With the Future Foundation cosmetics, some of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Rivals roster are getting a much-appreciated visual upgrade. Though we don’t know exactly when the others will release, nor how much they will cost, from what we’ve seen so far, they’re going to be fan favourites.
