Human Torch and The Thing are expected six to seven weeks later. NetEase Games indicated seasons will last approximately three months, with a major update midway through each.
A trailer showcased Mister Fantastic's Duelist gameplay. He stretches to punch opponents, grabs multiple enemies for slams, and inflates his body for powerful attacks. His ultimate involves repeated slams onto the enemy team, reminiscent of the Winter Soldier. Some speculate a Season 1 bonus tied to the Fantastic Four's launch, though this remains unconfirmed.
