Marvel Rivals: Uncovering All Midtown Easter Eggs

The launch of Marvel Rivals Season 1 introduces an exciting new map, Midtown, which is likely to feel familiar to many Marvel enthusiasts due to its frequent appearances in various Marvel projects set in New York City. However, Marvel Rivals has cleverly hidden several Easter eggs throughout Midtown, offering fans a treasure hunt of sorts. Here's a comprehensive guide to every Midtown Easter egg in Marvel Rivals and their significance.

Every Marvel Rivals Midtown Easter Egg & What They Mean

The Baxter Building

The Baxter Building, the renowned residence of Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, prominently features in Midtown. Given that Season 1 centers around the Fantastic Four, players start their journey on the new map inside this iconic building, adding a layer of excitement and connection to the game's narrative.

Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower

As players venture beyond their spawn point, they'll spot both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower. The former serves as the headquarters for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, while the latter is the base of operations for Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. Intriguingly, in Marvel Rivals' storyline, Season 1's antagonist, Dracula, has taken control of Avengers Tower, adding a thrilling twist to the game's setting.

Fisk Tower

Midtown also hosts Fisk Tower, the imposing structure owned by the notorious villain Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin. While players can easily spot this landmark, it's worth noting that its presence doesn't necessarily hint at the imminent arrival of Fisk's nemesis, Daredevil, to the game.

F.E.A.S.T.

The F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a significant location in both Marvel's Spider-Man games, appears in Midtown. This homeless shelter plays a crucial role in the community, and its inclusion in the game adds depth and familiarity for fans. Notably, May Parker, who helps run the center, meets a tragic end due to Devil's Breath in the Spider-Man games.

Dazzler

Marvel Rivals ensures X-Men fans are not left out by including an Easter egg featuring Dazzler. In this version of Earth, she appears to be on tour, possibly rivaling another pop star, Luna Snow. While it's uncertain if NetEase plans to introduce Dazzler as a playable character, this Easter egg certainly paves the way for her potential future inclusion.

Heroes for Hire

Midtown also features advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known as the "Heroes for Hire." These street-level heroes are known for their heroic deeds across New York, often motivated by the promise of financial reward. Though they don't physically appear in Marvel Rivals, their presence is felt through these ads, suggesting they might not be far away.

Roxxon Energy

The darker side of the Marvel Universe is represented by Roxxon Energy, a company notorious for its nefarious activities. Players can spot ads for Roxxon, hinting at the corporation's ongoing schemes and its employment of villains to carry out its dirty work, including confrontations with heroes.

A.I.M.

Another malevolent force, A.I.M., is establishing its presence in New York within Marvel Rivals. Originally a splinter group from Hydra, A.I.M. is known for creating bizarre creatures like M.O.D.O.K. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, A.I.M. is led by Aldrich Killian, who attempted to pitch a world-changing think tank to Tony Stark but was rejected.

Bar With No Name

For villains seeking a break from their battles, the Bar With No Name offers a sanctuary. This mysterious establishment can be found in every major city in the Marvel Universe, providing a unique and intriguing setting within Midtown.

Van Dyne

Even heroes need to promote their brands, and in Midtown, an advertisement for a Van Dyne fashion boutique catches the eye. While the ad doesn't feature any of the Van Dynes, it's likely that either the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne, or her MCU counterpart, Hope Van Dyne, is behind this venture.
