Chapter 3 rewards players with a Gallery Card depicting Blade battling Dracula, Season 1's antagonist.

Marvel Rivals Reveals Official Blade Artwork in Season 1
Blade's appearance fuels speculation about his Season 2 debut as a playable character. Many predict the Season 1 finale will see the Fantastic Four defeating Dracula, rescuing New York City, Blade, and Doctor Strange. Discussions among players suggest Blade might excel as a Duelist, potentially featuring a transformation ability similar to Magik and Hulk's ultimates—enhancing strength, modifying attacks, and granting wall-hack vision.
Beyond Blade, leaked Ultron abilities from Season 0 suggest a Strategist role, offering support and healing. While initially predicted for Season 1, Ultron's release may be delayed following the introduction of the Fantastic Four. While leaks often prove accurate, they remain unconfirmed rumors until official announcements. The abundance of upcoming content fuels player optimism for Marvel Rivals' future.
