Thor, Loki, and The Thing Bring the Heat
Surprisingly, most of the fresh cosmetics focus on male characters. Thor and Loki show off their summer physiques, with Thor opting for a shirtless look while Loki keeps it more modest with a beach cover-up. The dynamic duo even share a playful moment where Thor playfully knocks Loki out.
But the real shocker? The Thing in a thong. Yes, you read that right. This cheeky skin has fans buzzing, and it’s clear NetEase is having some fun with this bold choice. Alongside the skins, you’ll find sprays like ‘HERE’S THE THING’ and an emote featuring The Thing crouched over, reading a book, showing off the quirky side of this event.

How to Get the Skins and Event Details
The summer event runs from July 17 to August 15, giving players plenty of time to grind for cosmetics. While Thor’s skin will be free, snagging The Thing’s thong skin requires a purchase. Interestingly, the physical Marvel Swimsuit special comic book cover hints at a code for The Thing’s skin, but details remain scarce.
For those curious, this event follows the yearly Marvel Swimsuit special one-shot, which also dresses heroes in beachwear. Sadly, some fan-favorite concepts like Punisher’s swimsuit or Wolverine’s banana-hammock didn’t make it into the game.
More Reasons to Dive In
Besides the summer skins, Marvel Rivals’ Season 3 update includes the addition of Phoenix, a new map, and a variety of accessories wrapped in a battle pass. There’s plenty to explore, so whether you’re here for the cosmetics or the gameplay, now’s a great time to jump back in.
