Iron Man is one ofMarvel Rivals' infamous flying Duelists, a group that has become a point of frustration for a large portion of the community. While there are plenty of ways for ranged heroes to counter flying characters, many Vanguard players are upset with their lack of options when it comes to handling these highly mobile foes. With the release of Human Torch, who has a team-up with Storm, the issue seems to have become even more prominent.
In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games gave players their first look at the upcoming Steam Power skin forIron Man inMarvel Rivals. The costume gives the hero a steampunk makeover and showcases a bulky, copper set of armor instead of the usual sleek red and gold color scheme. When Iron Man amplifies his power, the accessories that appear on his back have glowing coils, which fit with the theme of the outfit. He even appears to have a furnace on his chest, giving Tony Stark another way to fuel his suit. He even has large exhaust pipes sprouting from his shoulders to vent smoke.
