Emma Frost’s release date on Marvel Rivals revealed

Emma Frost will join Marvel Rivals on April 11, 2025.

For those unfamiliar, Frost is a powerful female mutant often referred to as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. In the comics, she made her first appearance in The Uncanny X-Men #129. As a teenager, she unknowingly manifested her powers by absorbing knowledge from classmates to excel in her studies.

Her abilities first caught Charles Xavier’s attention when she accidentally rendered her entire school unconscious using her mental powers. Frost has been both an adversary to Xavier and an influential figure in shaping the mutant community.

In the recently released trailer, Emma Frost makes a stylish entrance, showcasing her diamond armor and welcoming everyone to the Hellfire Gala on Krakoa. The gala is held annually on the living mutant island, bringing together allies and rivals to shape a better future. However, things take a dark turn when a violent storm threatens the island, prompting heroes to unite in its defense. Amid the celebration, the trailer also teases the unexpected arrival of Ultron.

What are Emma Frost’s abilities on Marvel Rivals?

In Marvel Rivals, Emma Frost takes on the role of a Vanguard. She utilizes both her diamond form and telepathic abilities to challenge her enemies.

Her diamond form renders her invulnerable to physical attacks—she doesn’t feel pain and lacks empathy in this state, making her an unyielding force. She can move easily and lift heavy objects, and the form grants her superhuman strength, allowing her to overpower foes.

In addition to her physical resilience, she also possesses powerful telepathic abilities, enabling her to read minds and manipulate others’ thoughts. These dual capabilities make her a versatile and formidable presence on the battlefield.
