Conceptualized as one of Marvel Rivals‘ fearsome Vanguards, The Thing has a robust health pool of 700 and is tasked with leading his allies into battle. In order to aid him in this effort, he has the Yancy Street Charge ability, which allows him to rush forward, knocking enemies into the air and creating a zone that prevents foes from utilizing mobility powers. The Thing can also target an ally and leap toward them, giving both players damage reduction when he lands. His passive ability, Unyielding Will, also prevents him from being launched up, knocked back, or pulled forward by displacement abilities, allowing him to firmly plant himself anywhere on the battlefield. With so many powerful traits, many feel the hero is destined to become a fan-favorite.
