Third-person hero shooter video game Marvel Rivals recently began its second season, bringing with it a fresh map and a new character – and crucially, bigger butts for a selection of their cake-deficient male characters.
Released in 2024 to widespread acclaim, Marvel Rivals sees players control Marvel’s mightiest heroes and kick each other’s asses, with the likes of the X-Men, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and more all available to scrap in online matches.
And, with the implementation of the game’s latest patch (update), it appears that the developers of the game really did have the ‘ass’ part in mind – because with Season 2 has come more junk in the trunk for several of the game’s male heroes.
As noticed by Reddit user Weak-Bodybuilder-419 among others, characters like Wolverine, Moon Knight, Bucky Barnes, Mr Fantastic and Star Lord have all been hitting the stair master, with side-by-side comparisons of the before and after character models confirming that, yes, these supes are now dragging wagons around.
“A little more detail about the buff of man buns,” the user wrote, adding, “By popular demand I am sending more pictures before/after the update in better quality. Enjoy.”

The change has been met with hilarity; one Reddit user commented, “What gets me is it’s so subtle. Like a dude was really messing with these cheek sizes, trying to get it f**king perfect. What a fine craftsman.”
Another called for yet more cake, lamenting that they weren’t even bigger. “These characters have cake in the comics. So I wonder if it’s just a censure thing or something because the lack of dumpies and lumpies has nothing to do with the source material.”
And a third, on X, said what we’re all thinking, which is, “What about bulge?” One cheek at a time, one cheek at a time.
“Good. slut ’em out,” another opined.

But still, some users have called for more cake, pointing out that the female characters aren’t exactly lacking in the booty department: “The male butts in Marvel Rivals are honestly so embarrassing considering how the women are designed.”
The start of Season 2 saw Marvel Rivals add X-Men character and queer fan favourite Emma Frost into the fray – and the new map of Krakoa, a lush mutant oasis.
