Is Carnage in Marvel Rivals?

What kind of role would Carnage play?
If Carnage does make his way into Marvel Rivals, he’d almost certainly fill the shoes of a Duelist. That’s totally in line with his comic book persona — wild, relentless, and always looking for a fight.
Think of him as the kind of character who dives into the fray, takes out a key enemy, and disappears before anyone knows what hit them. He’s not one to hang back or play it safe, and in a game like Marvel Rivals, that kind of aggressive role could make him a real game-changer.

Potential abilities
While we don’t have an official ability kit yet, fans have been having fun imagining what Carnage might be able to do in Marvel Rivals. His attacks would likely be fast and brutal, slashing enemies with sharp symbiote tendrils or lashing out in unpredictable ways.
Maybe he has a leap attack to pounce on opponents or an ultimate that sends out a flurry of red, swirling chaos that damages anyone caught in his path. Speed, disruption, and close-range combat would probably be his strengths — exactly what you’d expect from someone as unhinged as Cletus Kasady.

A peek at the possible Team-Up moves
Team-Up abilities are a big part of Marvel Rivals, letting two characters pull off cool, combo-based moves together. With Kletus Casady's symbiote, the possibilities are honestly pretty exciting.
He can team up with Venom for a symbiote-powered rampage. These special moves don’t just look good — they can completely shift the momentum of a match. Additionally, with the symbiote’s flair for destruction, his Team-Up would likely be unforgettable.
