WithMarvel Rivalsall set to drop the Fantastic Four in its Season 1 update this January 10, and NetEase Games having several more heroes waiting in the wings according to recent leaks, it’s clear that the developer isn’t messing around when it comes to expanding their roster. This aggressive release schedule got us thinking about some of the more… unusual candidates who could potentially join the fray.
Speaking of unusual, there’s one particular mutant hero who’s so obscure that even the most die-hard Marvel fans might have trouble “remembering” him. Actually, that’s not just a figure of speech—being forgotten is quite literally his superpower.
And while some might dismiss him as a gimmick character, we think he could be the most hilariously broken addition toMarvel Rivalsyet.
The forgotten hero who could breakMarvel Rivals
MeetForgetMeNot, possibly the most tragically underutilized mutant in X-Men history. His power? The moment you look away from him, you completely forget he exists. Even Professor X had to set up an hourly psychic alarm just to remember the poor guy was on the team.

But here’s the kicker: this seemingly inconvenient ability has actually saved theX-Men‘s bacon more times than anyone can remember (pun absolutely intended). Think about all those times the X-Men mysteriously got “lucky” during missions—security systems conveniently malfunctioning, doors mysteriously opening at just the right moment. That was all ForgetMeNot.
During theAge of Xtimeline, ForgetMeNot proved invaluable by gathering intelligence that even telepaths couldn’t detect. His ability to move completely unnoticed made him the perfect spy, capable of infiltrating the most secure facilities without raising a single alarm.
More recently, he’s been working alongside Juggernaut in theLegion of X, where his unique talents have proven particularly useful in maintaining peace on Krakoa (yes, that’s one of the leaked upcomingMarvel Rivalsmaps). After all, it’s hard to start trouble when you can’t remember there’s someone watching you.

The best part? Most of these achievements aren’t even recorded in any official capacity because, well, everyone forgot about them as soon as they happened. Talk about job security!
A stealth specialist forMarvel Rivals
In a game where visibility and awareness are crucial, ForgetMeNot’s powers could translate into some fascinating gameplay mechanics. Taking cues fromMarvel Rivals’existing hero abilities and combat systems, we can envision a kit that’s bothtrue to the character and balanced for competitive play.
His passive ability, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind,” could work perfectly within the game’s team-based dynamics. Teammates would need to maintain direct line of sight to see ForgetMeNot on their HUD, adding one hefty layer of pure, unadulterated dose of confusion and chaos to team fights.

For his primary combat ability, we’re thinking something along the lines of “Forgotten Presence.” When activated, it would make ForgetMeNot partially immune to headshots and cause enemies to miss 50% of their primary attacks—perfectly representing how people’s mindsstruggle to properly target someonethey can barely remember exists.
These abilities would make him particularly effective on control point maps, where his unique stealth capabilities could help him contest objectives in ways other heroes simply can’t. Imagine trying to clear a point when you keep “forgetting” one of the defenders is even there!
Of course, implementing such an unusual power set would require careful balancing. But withNetEase Games‘ already-proven track record of creative character design inMarvel Rivals, we’re confident they could make it work.
