Marvel Rivals Fan Shares Incredible Sandman Character Concept

by

Summary

  • Marvel Rivals sees a player design concept art for Sandman, a potential addition to the roster.
  • The game continues to grow with Season 1 milestone achievements and plans for future hero additions.
  • Despite next seasons being smaller, fans are eager for more villains, including the potential Sinister Six.

A player of the game Marvel Rivals has created some compelling concept art depicting Sandman, a long-standing adversary of Spider-Man and a member of his Rogues Gallery, known as the Sinister Six. Unlike other games, Marvel Rivals is exploring its source material’s heroes more extensively than villains, but this artist’s design seems well-suited to be included among the game’s characters.

Since its debut on December 6, 2024, the free-to-play hero shooter game from NetEase Games based on Marvel superheroes has been incredibly popular. With the start of Season 1 on January 10, the number of players simultaneously enjoying Marvel Rivals skyrocketed, surpassing an impressive 560,000 concurrent gamers during its seasonal content launch.

As the fresh season unfolds, the Fantastic Four join forces in “Marvel Rivals”. Currently, Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman are part of the team, while the Thing and Human Torch will be added within six weeks. A creative fan envisions a new law-breaking character to counterbalance them. This individual has sketched out a concept for Flint Marko, famously known as Sandman. With sandy abilities that allow him to manipulate his size and weight, the design by Reddit user coryharris0715 mirrors past portrayals, showcasing the character in his characteristic striped green shirt and brown pants, but with a more robust physique than some previous versions, aligning with his role as a Vanguard character.

Marvel Rivals Fan Draws Up Sandman Concept Character

The artist is optimistic that a future season of the game developed by NetEase might feature the Sinister Six or four of its members, but given that NetEase has announced smaller upcoming seasons for Marvel Rivals, it’s not very likely they will include six new characters. Instead, it’s possible each villain could be added individually to the roster in time, and some players have suggested they would prefer more villains to counterbalance the current hero-dominated lineup.

As a gaming enthusiast, I stumbled upon an artist whose work transcends the boundaries of video games. Not only have they showcased some impressive fan art of characters from Supergiant Games’ Hades, but they also had a buddy bring their original artwork to life in the Grand Theft Auto V loading screen style due to the striking resemblance between the art styles. It’s evident that they’re a die-hard Spider-Man fan, as their Reddit portfolio boasts a hand-drawn rendition of their favorite moment from Spider-Man: No Way Home.
