Marvel Rivals Fans Are Using the Invisible Woman to Detect Alleged Bot Matches

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 19,2025

The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a potential problem: players suspect they're facing AI opponents, or bots, in their matches. This theory has been circulating for weeks among the Marvel Rivals community, fueled by the belief that developer NetEase Games might be using low-level AI to maintain player engagement. The recent Season 1 update, which introduced Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, has only intensified this discussion.

Reddit user barky1616 shared a compelling video showcasing an unusual tactic with Invisible Woman. The video shows Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the path of several enemy team members simply by standing in front of them. The opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again, prompting many to interpret this as further evidence of AI opponents unable to navigate around a seemingly insurmountable obstacle.

While this Invisible Woman "trick" might not work consistently, the video has sparked considerable debate. Some players are questioning the prevalence of bots in Marvel Rivals, while others remain unconvinced. NetEase has yet to officially comment on these allegations.

Despite the ongoing bot controversy, players are generally enjoying Season 1's content. The first wave introduced half of the Fantastic Four, with The Thing and Human Torch set to arrive soon. In the meantime, players can explore the season's balance changes, the impact of NetEase's mod crackdown, and the ongoing debate about Reed Richards' portrayal.
