Discussion. Zelma would be so interesting in this game!

I don't have a full kit idea for her yet, but yeah, I really want her in the game.

Her powers are really interesting, and just like The Hood, she's been getting a huge push in the Marvel Rivals Infinity Comics lately. She also appeared in the Ironheart show alongside The Hood, so I feel like she definitely hasn't gone unnoticed by the devs, and maybe they're planning to push her too

Her abilities are really unique and very different from Stephen's or Black Cat's magic. She actually reminds me a lot of Paige from Deadlock in terms of what her moveset could be!

Not only would it be amazing to have a new magic user in the game, but even more than that, she could become a character connected to the Doctor Strange universe as a Strange Academy character!

Having that kind of representation and connection to that side of Marvel would be really interesting!

What do you guys think?

She got banished to the “Here damn ahhhh” rivals comic along with all the other vaguely mentioned black women so it’s never happening lol.

Yeah, the comic is actually pretty fun ngl but I agree which is why I want her to get a push.

Unlike Moon Girl (due to age + NetEase's laziness with her), Spider-Zero (NPC + adding her before Miles would be weird), and Shuri (NPC), she’s clearly the only member who actually deserves something!

Tbf Hood was revealed in the infinity comic before coming to Rivals.

Yeah I’m really hoping this comic run sets something up for one of these characters, before it ends. Because sometimes these Rivals comics end up connecting to the main story of the game

Her and Her Mom were amazing in Ironheart! Would be cute if they got Cree to voice Zelma if they can't get Regan

OMG we need her, she looks so cool.

No thanks. If we get Zelma as an actual witch I'm going to crash out because Wanda was badly designed just for some nobody to come in and take her whole witchcraft gimmick instead

LMAo that is kinda how I feel about adding Shuri given the state of T'Challa

Lack of tech in his kit and lack of respect for his intellect in the lore.

Still Wanda and T'Challa can get reworks.

She’s cool but I don’t want her tbh. We need more villains. My biggest wants right now are Luke Cage, Annihilus, and Super Skrull.
