Marvel Rivals: Who is Luna Snow? Everything You Need to Know

Marvel Rivals, the upcoming team-based PvP shooter from NetEase, is set to introduce players to a diverse roster of Marvel characters, including Luna Snow. For those unfamiliar with her, Luna Snow is a South Korean pop idol-turned-superhero with the power to manipulate ice. Since Marvel Rivals will likely be the first introduction of Luna Snow for most people, let’s take a look at who exactly Luna Snow is, and what can players expect from her in Marvel Rivals?

Luna Snow's Origin Story

Luna Snow, whose real name is Seol Hee, first appeared in Marvel Future Fight in 2018 before making her debut in Marvel Comics in "War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas." In her origin story, Seol Hee is a K-pop idol performing at a Stark Industries event when she is captured by the villainous organization A.I.M. 

During her captivity, she is exposed to a cryo-reactor that grants her the ability to control ice, transforming her into the hero Luna Snow. As a member of the Agents of Atlas, Luna joined forces with other superheroes to protect the Pacific Rim and beyond.

Powers and Abilities

In Marvel Rivals, Luna Snow brings her unique ice-based powers to the battlefield. Unlike traditional ice manipulators, Luna can use dark and light ice powers, allowing her to unleash devastating attacks on enemies while also providing healing and support to her allies. This dual nature of her powers makes Luna a versatile character, capable of turning the tide of battle in her team's favor.

Role in Marvel Rivals

In Marvel Rivals, Luna Snow will be one of the 19 playable characters at launch. While specific details about Luna Snow's role in Marvel Rivals are still under wraps, she appears to be a support hero, similar to her abilities in other Marvel games. 

In the game's announcement trailer, Luna can be seen using her ice powers to skate across the battlefield and potentially buffing her allies' stats. Additionally, her ability to summon icy creatures in collaboration with Namor suggests she will play a crucial role in team strategies and coordination.

Comparisons to Other Characters

Luna Snow's gameplay mechanics draw comparisons to Mei from Overwatch, another character known for her ice-based abilities. However, Luna's potential dual-sided powers and support-focused gameplay might set her apart

With the Marvel Rivals closed alpha set to launch in May, players will soon have the opportunity to experience Luna Snow's abilities firsthand.
