Official website data reveals interesting character popularity trends in Marvel Rivals. In "quick play," Jeff reigned supreme, outperforming Venom and Cloak & Dagger. However, competitive play painted a different picture. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis dominated, while on consoles, Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis led the pack.

Surprisingly, despite her popularity, Mantis was also the most frequently defeated hero in competitive mode, leading the losses on both PC and consoles, surpassing Hela, Loki, and Magic. Consoles saw a broader success rate, with 14 additional characters boasting win rates exceeding 50%.

Conversely, the least popular characters included Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine in "quick play," while Nemore held that unfortunate title in competitive mode.

Marvel Rivals, after a month of receiving over 500 mods, is now facing controversy. Nexus Mods removed modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, sparking significant player reaction.

Nexus Mods owner, TheDarkOne, explained in a private Reddit discussion that both Trump and Biden-themed mods were removed simultaneously to avoid accusations of bias. This action, he stated, was taken to maintain neutrality.

Curiously, YouTube gaming channels remain conspicuously silent on this matter.
