Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula's Reign of Terror
Marvel Rivals, drawing from the vast Marvel universe, introduces a compelling roster of heroes and villains. Season 1: Eternal Night Falls spotlights Dracula as the primary antagonist. This Transylvanian nobleman-turned-vampire lord, alongside Doctor Doom, manipulates the moon's orbit, plunging present-day New York City into chaos.
Dracula's Abilities and Motives:
Count Vlad Dracula, in Marvel Rivals, possesses formidable powers: superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes. His immortality and regenerative abilities make him a formidable foe. He also commands mind control, hypnosis, and shapeshifting, adding layers of strategic complexity to his attacks. His goal? To establish an "Empire of Eternal Night" over New York City.
Season 1 Lore:
Dracula leverages the power of Chronovium to disrupt the moon's orbit, creating a perpetual night ideal for his vampiric army. This mirrors the intense "Blood Hunt" storyline from Marvel comics (2024), a particularly brutal event showcasing Dracula’s expansionist ambitions in a sunless world. Heroes like Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Blade, and the Fantastic Four must unite to thwart his sinister plan.
Will Dracula Be Playable?
Currently, there's no official announcement confirming Dracula's inclusion as a playable character. Considering Doctor Doom's villainous role in Season 0 without playable status, Dracula's playability remains uncertain. However, his central role in Season 1's narrative strongly suggests future potential as a playable character, influencing game modes and maps in the meantime. This guide will be updated upon any official announcements from NetEase Games.
