Who is Dracula in Marvel Rivals?

Marvel Rivals Season 1 marks the arrival of Vlad Dracula, who will oppose theFantastic Four. The trailer mentioned earlier depicts darkness falling over the Avengers tower–the iconic “A” logo swiftly transitions to a “V” for Vlad. A Timestream Entanglement traps Doctor Strange in another dimension, allowing Dracula and Doctor Doom to plunge New York into darkness.

Here is the story ofMarvel Rivals Season 1and Dracula’s role per NetEase Games:

Marvel Rivals

“Darkness engulfs New York as the Timestream Entanglement leaves Doctor Strange trapped in the Entangled Astral Plane, scattering the Darkhold pages. Dracula and Doctor Doom disrupt the moon’s orbit, plunging the city into eternal night and unleashing an army of vampiric creatures. With the world on the brink, the Fantastic Four join forces with iconic Marvel heroes, standing together in the epic battle to break the mystical darkness with science.”

It’s unclear exactly how players will battle Dracula in the game, but there will presumably be a limited-time mode revolving around the vampire lord. His in-game rivals include Magik and Scarlet Witch, butMister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch hope to defeat him in this storyline.

Ultron’s abilities and design in Marvel Rivals have been leaked

Loads of Marvel Rivals leakers have shared a look at the abilities of Ultron before he’s been so much as teased by the developers.

Who is this character in the Marvel Universe?

Dracula first appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #1 in April 1972. Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, the vampire has become a recurring villain in the Marvel Universe. He has battled the likes of Blade, Doctor Strange, the X-Men, and more. However, no rivalry has drawn more intrigue than Dracula and Moon Knight–a conflict Marvel Rivals addresses via in-game dialogue.

Beyond the comics, Dracula has appeared in various games and TV shows and was the primary antagonist in Blade: Trinity, portrayed by Dominic Purcell. Dracula’s powers in the Marvel Universe include immortality, superstrength, flight, and shapeshifting.

Will Dracula be a playable character in Marvel Rivals?

NetEase Games has not explicitly stated that Dracula will be a playable character in Marvel Rivals in Season 1. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that won’t happen in the future. We must wait and see if the developers plan to add Dracula. There are rumors that Blade will be coming to Marvel Rivals down the line, so perhaps that season could also include the vampire lord.
