Marvel Rivals: Uncovering All Midtown Easter Eggs

The launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 introduces an exciting new map, Midtown, which should be instantly recognizable to fans of the Marvel Universe.

Let's dive into each of these hidden gems and uncover what they signify.

Every Marvel Rivals Midtown Easter Egg & What They Mean

The Baxter Building

The Baxter Building, iconic home of Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, is prominently featured in Midtown. Given that Season 1 centers around the Fantastic Four, players starting on the new map will begin their game within this legendary structure, setting the stage for epic battles.

Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower

Venturing out from the spawn, players can spot both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower. The former serves as the base for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, while the latter is the headquarters of Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin. In an intriguing twist, *Marvel Rivals*' continuity reveals that Season 1's villain, Dracula, has taken control of Avengers Tower, adding a thrilling layer to the narrative.

Fisk Tower

Wilson Fisk, better known as Kingpin, has a significant presence in Midtown with his towering skyscraper. Easily spotted by players traversing the map, Fisk Tower hints at the criminal underworld's influence but doesn't confirm the imminent arrival of his arch-nemesis, Daredevil, to the game.

F.E.A.S.T.

The F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a pivotal location in *Marvel's Spider-Man* games, also makes an appearance in Midtown. It serves as a reminder of the community's efforts to help the less fortunate, with May Parker playing a key role until her tragic demise due to Devil's Breath.

*Marvel Rivals* includes a nod to X-Men fans with a Dazzler Easter egg. In this version of Earth, the mutant is on tour, potentially challenging another in-game pop star, Luna Snow. While Dazzler's future in the game remains uncertain, this Easter egg suggests that her inclusion could be on the horizon.

Heroes for Hire

Advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known collectively as Heroes for Hire, are scattered throughout Midtown. These street-level heroes are renowned for their readiness to save the day, especially if there's a reward involved. While they don't appear directly on the map, their presence is felt through these ads, hinting at their nearby activities.

Roxxon Energy

Roxxon Energy, a notorious corporation often involved in nefarious activities, also has advertisements in Midtown. Known for employing villains to do its dirty work, Roxxon's presence underscores the darker side of New York in the Marvel Universe.

A.I.M.

Another sinister organization, A.I.M., aims to establish itself in New York. Originally a branch of Hydra, A.I.M. has since ventured out on its own, creating dangerous entities like M.O.D.O.K. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, A.I.M. is led by Aldrich Killian, who unsuccessfully pitched his think tank concept to Tony Stark.

Bar With No Name

For villains seeking respite from their battles, the Bar With No Name offers a safe haven. Located in every major city in the Marvel Universe, this bar's mysterious origins add to its allure, providing a unique backdrop for *Marvel Rivals* players.

Van Dyne

Even heroes need to promote their ventures, and the Van Dyne family does so with a fashion boutique advertisement in Midtown. While the ad doesn't show them, it's likely that either Janet, the original Wasp, or her MCU daughter, Hope, is behind this stylish business.
