Marvel Cosmic Invasion Adds Cyclops and The Thing

Marvel Cosmic Invasion released a new DLC this week, bringing the X-Men's Cyclops and The Thing from the Fantastic Four to the roster



Article Summary

  • Marvel Cosmic Invasion DLC 1 is out now, adding Cyclops and The Thing as playable characters for $4.
  • Cyclops joins Marvel Cosmic Invasion with diagonal optic blasts, giving players a strong answer to aerial foes.
  • The Thing enters Marvel Cosmic Invasion as a grappling-heavy tank, mixing raw power with surprising mobility.

Tribute Games, Gamirror Games, and Dotemu dropped the first official DLC for Marvel Cosmic Invasion today, as players can snag Cyclops and The Thing as new characters. Both will be added to the roster (when you buy the DLC for $4), each bringing their own unique abilities to the fight that add a little more spice and flair to the battle. And yes, that is Ray Chase from X-Men '97 voicing Cyclops, with Dave Boat as The Thing. This is the first of two confirmed DLC releases, the second coming later this year, but nothing solid beyond the news that it's coming. You can read mroe about the DLCs from the devs below.

Cyclops & The Thing Arrive As Part Of DLC 1

  • The Thing: The Fantastic Four's heaviest hitter brings his cosmic radiation-induced might to the fray, excelling in Marvel Cosmic Invasion as a grappling-focused powerhouse. With surprising mobility allowing him to bounce across environments to get the jump on enemies, this former ace pilot embraces his new role as a tanklike protector of family and allies alike, arriving as an incredible asset to any team.
  • Cyclops: The no-nonsense leader of the X-Men and one of the most-requested additions by fans, Cyclops blasts into battle to make quick work of foes with his signature kinetic energy beams. Cyclops' optic blasts can also be shot diagonally, providing an excellent counter for aerial enemies – and opportunities to catch opponents off guard.

DLC 2 – Launching Fall 2026

An all-new game mode offering fresh challenges for Marvel Cosmic Invasion's Super Heroes (and Villains!) will be revealed later this year alongside even more playable characters ready to join the battle against Annihilus. Keep your Super Hero senses sharp for updates!
