Marvel Rivals' Punk Revolution Is Missing Its Best Opportunity, But I Think There's A Reason

There's a huge missed opportunity in the Punk Revolution update for , and it's one that feels quite strange. The update brought us two new character costumes, one for Magik and one for Hulk. While these are two of the more popular characters for people to use in the game, it still leaves out one character who has been part of the game before in the Alpha but has been missing since.

There are plenty of costumes available in , but they are not all created equal. In Season 1, we have been receiving new costumes in a number of ways, but these themed updates tend to have some of the better ones. Usually, these costumes change the character in a more significant way than just a recolor or a slightly different outfit. For instance, Luna Snow's themed update gave us an entirely new costume with new music and a different look.

The most obvious character for the Punk Revolution update would have been Hobie Brown's Spider-Punk. After all, Punk is in the name! It feels quite strange that the resident punk expert would have been left out, particularly since there has been a version of his costume in the game before when it was still in Alpha. The costume, along with a number of others, disappeared after that point. Many of them have made their way back into the game since so it felt like it was just a matter of time.

Marvel Rivals has taken its next step for competitive balance by banning the popular plugin Blitz, but this comes with pros and cons to be addressed.

Additionally, a costume for Spider-Punk also seemingly leaked according to YouTuber Dylbobz, making it seem like it should be coming soon.

To not have him released during the Punk Revolution update feels out of place, and there must be a reason behind it. Some have pointed out that a different Spider-Man skin dropped recently, but that hasn't stopped them from adding multiple new costumes for one character at a time in the past.

It felt odd that Magik and Hulk got their Punk costumes first, particularly since
