The introduction of Phoenix to the roster in Marvel Rivals Season 3 means even more power, with her power connected to cosmic firepowers and psychic abilities. She is Jean Grey of the comics, who bonded with the Phoenix Force and is one of the most threatening elements of the Marvel universe.
Her game skill set reflects her comic-book character, providing both harmful capabilities and support possibilities. This piece of writing gives the readers an in-depth idea of what Phoenix can do and how one can make the most out of her in the Season 3 Battlefield.
Breakdown of Phoenix's powers in Marvel Rivals
*EXCLUSIVE* PHOENIX Guide, Combos, Tips And Ability Breakdown
Phoenix shines in team fights thanks to her explosive damage and battlefield mobility. Here is a closer look at her abilities and ultimate:
1. Primary Abilities
Pyrokinetic Surge
: Phoenix launches a narrow beam of fire that delivers in a straight line, dealing significant damage to enemies in its path. Great for destroying enemies or finishing off fleeing targets.
Blazing Wings
: Activating this ability lets Phoenix glide in the air for a short period of time, improving her mobility and helping her escape from tight situations or reach high ledges.
Mindflare Pulse
: Unleashes a psychic wave in a small radius that stuns enemies briefly. It works well for interrupting opponents or setting up combo attacks with teammates.
2. Passive Ability: Rebirth Flame
When Phoenix is eliminated, she has a cooldown period with a base chance to revive on the field in a fiery burst.
This resurrection also knocks back nearby enemies, which buys some time for her team and shifts her momentum during the battle.
3. Ultimate Ability: Cosmic Conflagration
Phoenix channels the full force of the Phoenix setup, releasing a massive area-of-effect explosion. Enemies under the ultimate field will deal heavy damage over time and are set ablaze. This ultimate is ideal for clearing objectives or breaking through enemies' defense mechanisms.
Phoenix is an all-purpose hero who can either kill, push back, or even die and resurrect, and this makes her a high-impact addition to Marvel Rivals Season 3. She is simultaneously both a frontline attacker and a support caster based on her mixture of flight, crowd control, and high-area skills. Timing, map awareness, and knowledge of when to use her rebirth mechanic are necessary to the mastering of her abilities. Phoenix is another prime character to use this season, particularly among the players willing to switch their roster with another one with conclusive skills and significant rewards.

Pedro Pascal called out over 'anxiety' claim; Videos of actor touching pregnant 'Fantastic Four' co-star Vanessa Kirby go viral: 'How is he not cancelled yet?'

Pedro Pascal , star of Marvel's upcoming 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps', is under the scanner after videos featuring his interactions with co-star Vanessa Kirby went viral online, sparking widespread criticism. Several clips showing Pascal constantly touching his lead actress during their press appearances have drawn sharp reactions from viewers, who labelled the clips as 'uncomfortable'. One particular video which has raised eyebrows was the recent video taken at the Fantastic Four premiere. The controversy erupted after netizens took offence at the actor placing his hand on Kirby's baby bump and later holding one arm while he strapped his other arm around her waist. The video, which was posted on Marvel's official handle, soon went viral, with netizens fishing out the actor's many videos with Kirby, where he can be seen repeatedly touching her arm, her baby bump, and maintaining physical contact at all times dring interviews. While some fans brushed off the moment as the actor's previous admission of having 'anxiety issues', others expressed discomfort, calling the behaviour 'creepy' and 'inappropriate'. Soon after the clips went viral, one tweeted, "How does Pedro Pascal get away with heavily petting his female costars, in Hollywood of all places, after the entire industry was upended over MeToo several years ago?" 'Pedro Pascal kissing Vanessa Kirby's hand for the 9000th time today while promoting Fantastic Four: First Steps,' wrote one user sarcastically. Another shared a video of what appeared to be a clip of Vanessa pushing away Pedro's hands from her pregnant belly, while captioning it as, "She wasn't having it at all!" "I hate this dude!! Why he hasn't been cancelled yet!?" asked another while debating the actor's conduct. In past interviews, Pascal has spoken openly about his struggles with social anxiety, noting that physical touch helps him stay grounded during high-stress situations like press events. Critics were especially vocal in connecting the incident to wider industry conversations around consent and professionalism, particularly in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Others took to trolling the actor, and questioning, "Me wondering why Pedro Pascal never has 'anxiety' around his male co-workers." While some fans came to his defence, others got filmy and shared memes and other posts trolling the actor with posts that read, "Me alone with anxiety" showing a photo of a person alone and showing "Pedro Pascal with anxiety" by using some filmy stills from movies like 'The Notebook'. Some even added a Bollywood twist to this trend by posting some stills from various Hindi movies. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps', which stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, releases in cinemas in India today, July 25.

Sacha Baron Cohen Was ‘Joking' About Using Ozempic To Transform Body For Marvel Role

Published By : Bang Showbiz Last Updated: Sacha Baron Cohen has claimed he was 'only joking' when he claimed to have used Ozempic to help achieve his new muscular physique for a Marvel role. Sacha Baron Cohen insists he was 'only joking" when he claimed to have used Ozempic to help achieve his new muscular physique for a Marvel role. The 53-year-old actor appeared on the cover of Men's Fitness UK this week, debuting his dramatic body transformation ahead of playing the villain Mephisto in Marvel's Ironheart miniseries. Alongside images from the shoot, Sacha posted on Instagram: 'Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, some use personal trainers. I did all three." He added: 'This is not AI. I really am egotistical enough to do this. Debuting my new character. Middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes." Sacha also thanked his trainer Alfonso Moretti, writing: 'Thanks @theangrytrainer for doing the unthinkable – putting up with me for 25 minutes a day." However, after the post prompted widespread speculation and some backlash, representatives for Sacha have told MailOnline he 'was only joking" about using Ozempic. They added that the transformation was entirely the result of 'hard work". Speaking to Men's Fitness UK, Sacha said he had only three weeks to get into superhero shape and credited Alfonso, also known as 'The Angry Trainer', with designing a focused programme of short daily workouts and strict nutrition. Sacha said: '25-minute workouts that were sustainable. Even while filming, the workouts happened. 'In the past, I would've thought you needed hour-long sessions." He said the plan included 100 push-ups a day and a diet high in fibre and protein, with minimal sugar. At the start of training, Alfonso reportedly told Sacha he had 'the core strength of an arthritic jellyfish" but praised his consistency. Within two weeks, Marvel's costume department reportedly spent $5,000 (£3,600) making adjustments to his wardrobe due to changes in his physique. Sacha revealed he reached out to actor Matthew McConaughey for a trainer recommendation, which led him to Alfonso. Their first meeting was via FaceTime, during which the trainer asked Sacha to strip to his underwear so he could assess his body. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently confirmed Sacha will portray Mephisto – a demonic entity who appears in the Ironheart series, and who has long been rumoured to be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sacha rose to prominence in the late 1990s with his Ali G character, followed by major roles in Borat, Brüno, and The Dictator.
