According to the latest data from the official website, in "quick play" mode, Jeff emerges as the most popular character, outshining Venom and Cloak and Dagger. However, the dynamics shift in competitive mode. On PC, Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, and Mantis take the lead, while on consoles, Cloak & Dagger, Penny Parker, and Mantis dominate the popularity charts.

Mantis not only tops the popularity list but also holds the title of the most defeated hero in competitive mode across both PC and consoles. She outpaces Hela, Loki, and Magic in this regard. On consoles, Mantis' performance is bolstered by the strong showings of 14 other characters, all boasting win rates above 50%.

On the flip side, the least popular characters in "quick play" mode are Storm, Black Widow, and Wolverine. In competitive mode, Nemore occupies the bottom spot in terms of popularity.

In other news, Marvel Rivals has seen a surge in activity with over 500 mods introduced in just one month. However, the game has become the center of controversy after Nexus Mods removed modifications that replaced Captain America's head with images of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This action stirred significant user reaction.

In a private Reddit conversation, Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, explained the decision. He emphasized that to avoid accusations of bias, both the Trump and Biden mods were removed on the same day. "To prevent bias, we eliminated the Biden moderator on the same day as the Trump moderator," he stated.

Interestingly, YouTube bloggers have remained silent on this issue, leaving many to wonder about the reasons behind their lack of coverage.
