All leaked Marvel Rivals Ultron abilities

The Marvel Rivals community is abuzz with speculation as Season 2 approaches. The latest reports suggest that Ultron, the iconic Avengers nemesis, will appear as a potential new playable character. Leaks and hints have been floating for months, but the interest peaked when Marvel Rivals merch featuring Ultron appeared at Hot Topic, far before any formal announcement from NetEase Games.

The T-shirt, which is part of a licensed collection with confirmed characters such as Iron Man and Jeff the Land Shark, has players persuaded that the terrifying AI will make his appearance sooner than expected. Furthermore, hackers recently accessed the game’s System chat, spoofing users with cryptic messages implying Ultron’s impending arrival.

While Season 1 brought the Fantastic Four and new maps, Season 2 promises to shake up the meta with new characters, and Ultron’s likely introduction has spurred speculation about how he will fit into the roster of 37 heroes. Here’s everything we know so far about his role and ability kit in the game.

Ultron is rumored to be introduced as a Strategist in Marvel Rivals. The hero is said to feature his iconic robotic abilities where he’ll be able to summon drones to heal allies and fly freely to damage enemies with his energy beam.

Here’s a look at all of Ultron’s leaked abilities in Rivals.

Ultron’s leaked abilities in Marvel Rivals position him as a fearsome Strategist who can dominate matches by combining offensive and supportive abilities. His kit allows him to heal allies passively using drones, providing long-term team resilience without having to stay in the fray and freeing him up to focus on strategic positions.

This aerial advantage, along with his agility, allows him to avoid ground-based threats while consistently healing divers or backline heroes, keeping them in the fight longer. On the offensive, Ultron’s primary strike deals burn damage, putting enemies under pressure and pushing them to retreat or risk being eliminated. His ultimate summons drones that attack adversaries while also healing friends, resulting in chaotic moments that can alter the course of battle. Ultron’s hybrid playstyle makes him a flexible asset, capable of disrupting opposing strategy while increasing his team’s durability in fierce 6v6 battles.
