The introduction of each new dualist character inevitably alters the game's meta, creating exciting possibilities and strategic challenges across the game's diverse maps.

Mister Fantastic's Primary Attack

Effective dualists require a powerful primary attack, and Mister Fantastic's Stretch Punch delivers. While lacking a secondary attack, the Stretch Punch boasts surprising versatility. This three-hit combo utilizes a single fist for the first two strikes, culminating in a powerful two-fisted blow. Its true strength lies in its ability to deal damage throughout the entire stretch of the arm, impacting all enemies in its path. This allows for potent area-of-effect damage, a feature also seen in Storm's Wind Blade attack.

Mister Fantastic's Abilities

Mister Fantastic possesses a range of impactful abilities, each contributing to his damage-boosting passive. Players are encouraged to thoroughly explore these abilities in the training room to master their potential. Understanding his health and Elasticity values is crucial for effective gameplay.

He starts with 350 health, but his frequent access to shields significantly enhances his survivability, exceeding expectations for a dualist. The Elasticity meter, visible beneath the crosshair, is key. Each basic attack generates 5 Elasticity; reaching 100 Elasticity is paramount to maximizing his potential. Mister Fantastic has a 3-star difficulty rating, presenting a moderate challenge for beginners but offering a rewarding experience for players of all skill levels.

Reflexive Rubber

• Active Ability
• 12-second duration

Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing all incoming damage. Upon expiration, he unleashes the stored damage in the direction of the player's reticle.

Flexible Elongation

• Active Ability
• 3-second duration
• Generates 30 Elasticity

This ability provides a shield, boosting Mister Fantastic's health from 350 to 425. He pulls himself towards the target, dealing damage to enemies or granting a shield to allies. This offers strategic flexibility, allowing players to either contribute damage or provide crucial support. The ability has two charges.

Distended Grip

• Active Ability
• 6-second duration
• Generates 30 Elasticity

Distended Grip allows Mister Fantastic to grapple a target, presenting three options: Dash (pulls him towards the target without a shield), Impact (deals damage), or a double grapple. Grappling a second enemy allows him to slam them together, dealing damage to both.

Wedded Harmony

• Team-Up Ability (requires Invisible Woman)
• 20-second duration

This ability, only available when Invisible Woman is on the team, heals Mister Fantastic for any lost health (but not shields).

Elastic Strength

• Passive Ability

Each ability used builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic undergoes a Hulk-like transformation, significantly boosting damage and providing a substantial shield. This inflated state is temporary, with the shield decaying over time. Failing to deal damage during this transformation causes Elasticity to decay.

Brainiac Bounce

• Ultimate Ability

Mister Fantastic leaps into the air, crashing down to deal area-of-effect damage, then bouncing to repeat the attack multiple times. This is highly effective against clustered enemies.

Gameplay Tips for Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation and shield generation make him surprisingly tanky.

Flexible Reflection Combo

Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides both shields for the player and an ally, while simultaneously tanking enemy attacks. This is a highly effective strategy.

Strategic Use of Reflexive Rubber

Reflexive Rubber can be used strategically, even outside of building the Elastic Strength passive, maximizing his inflated state's damage and objective control. Stacking shields from Flexible Elongation before inflating can result in a massive health pool.
