Marvel Rivals Leak Hints at Free Mrs. Barnes Black Widow Skin
As its name implies,Marvel 1872reimagines the company’s most iconic characters in the Old West, including Black Widow. On Earth-51920, Natasha Romanova is married to Deputy James “Bucky” Barnes (better known inMarvel Rivalsand other media as the Winter Soldier) and becomes a horse-riding vigilante to avenge his death. She eventually helps take down the corrupt Mayor Wilson Fisk and would go on to protect the town of Timely alongside Red Wolf.
Marvel 1872also includes Western versions of other existingMarvel Rivalscharacters like Iron Man and Captain America, and this new Black Window skin could lead to others down the line if this leak is indeed accurate. Interestingly enough, the leaked end date for this promotional event coincides with the rumored start date forMarvel Rivals’ second season, which is sure to bring even more playable characters and alternate costumes from the comics.
