The initial additions, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, bring a fresh dynamic to gameplay. Thing and Human Torch, slated for later release, will fill the tank and duelist roles respectively, further bolstering the Fantastic Four team-up. This team-up enhances Invisible Woman's healing and grants Mister Fantastic a rapid health regeneration ability.
The game's support roster receives a welcome addition with Invisible Woman. Her attacks pierce multiple targets, damaging enemies while healing allies – ideal for crowd control. However, her limited range necessitates close proximity to teammates.

Invisible Woman's invisibility is a strategic element. Achieved by abstaining from attacks and abilities for six seconds, it provides healing during its duration, although the lengthy activation time limits its practicality. A more effective invisibility tactic involves her double jump, offering a crucial escape mechanism.

Her right-click deploys a fragile shield in front of an ally, providing healing and best utilized defensively, constantly repositioned to protect injured teammates. She can also pull or push opponents, offering both offensive and defensive options.

A damaging sphere pulls enemies into its area of effect, effective for chokepoints and crowd control. While her three-hit melee pushback exists, it's generally outweighed by the defensive utility of her other abilities.

Her ultimate creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team, though its stationary nature leaves it vulnerable to area-of-effect attacks. Overall, Invisible Woman offers a balanced and tactically rich support role.

Mister Fantastic brings a unique and entertaining playstyle. His medium-range attacks can chain to multiple enemies, and his abilities build a meter that triggers a powerful inflated form, significantly boosting damage and durability.

His "Shift" ability absorbs damage for a short time, then unleashes it as a powerful shot. He can also pull characters, granting a shield to allies and dealing damage to enemies. His right-click extends his arm to immobilize opponents, allowing for follow-up attacks or throws.

His ultimate is an area-of-effect attack that slows enemies and repeats if it hits a target, similar to Bucky's ultimate, though often less impactful. Mister Fantastic occupies a unique space between duelist and tank, proving a strong, though not top-tier, addition.
