Marvel Rivals' newly added Invisible Woman character has become an unexpected tool for detecting potential bot opponents in player lobbies.

The debate over AI-controlled opponents has consumed Marvel Rivals players for weeks, with suspicions that developer NetEase Games might be using low-level bots to maintain engagement. These discussions intensified following Season 1's introduction of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman last Friday, though these heroes brought more than just meta changes.

As players explored these Fantastic Four additions, Reddit user barky1616 showcased an unusual application of Sue Storm's invisibility power. Their video demonstrates the Invisible Woman blocking enemy movement paths while cloaked - opponents neither circumvent nor attack her until her invisibility ends. Many players interpret this behavior as compelling evidence of widespread bot issues.

The theory suggests bots lack the awareness to respond to invisible obstacles properly. While individual results may vary when attempting this tactic, the clip has fueled community concerns about potential bot infiltration.

NetEase hasn't officially confirmed whether AI opponents appear in Marvel Rivals matches. IGN has contacted the developer for clarification regarding these bot allegations.

Between suspected bot matches, players are engaging with Season 1's new content. Following the initial Fantastic Four additions, the season's second wave will introduce The Thing and Human Torch. While awaiting these characters' debut, players can review recent balance changes, NetEase's mod policy adjustments, and community reactions to Reed Richards' implementation.
