The story behind Psylocke as a ninja

  • Marvel Rivals“Psylocke looks similar to a ninja, which is new to many Marvel fans.”


Psylocke is a powerful mutant psychic and otherworlder known for using telepathy, telekinesis, and psionic weaponry in combat. Although she is usually seen wielding a psionic sword or katana in various Marvel media, she was not officially classified as a ninja until she appeared in the Uncanny X-Men Comic series. It is quite possible that Marvel Rivals' Version of Psylocke is inspired by Uncanny X-Men's iteration of the mutant.

Given Psylocke’s offensive abilities, it is also possible that she will be classified as a duelist in Marvel Rivals like Magik. This role includes characters that deal significant damage to opponents, making them the best frontline fighters to take out opponents. Psylocke could become a good melee character who could also provide support with her telekinetic powers. On the other hand, this could mean that Marvel Rivals More Strategists and Vanguards may need to be released as the game may become too dueling-heavy at launch.
