Season 3 ofMarvel Rivalskicks off tomorrow, and with it, a fun offering of fresh content, like character-specific accessories. Since the game’s launch,Marvel Rivalshas continued to bring fresh heroes and skins to the game, but what makes these accessories so exciting is that not only are they adorable, they’re also free.
Players can work to earn accessory points by playing Quick Match or Competitive, so not having to actually purchase anything makes the addition of these items that much more exciting.Marvel Rivals' Accessory Systemwill feature eight options for their respective characters at launch, but Emma Frost’s is particularly interesting. Emma’s accessory option is a Jeff the Land Shark handbag, and it’s actually a fun reference to theDeadpoolcomics.
Marvel Rivals' Jeff the Land Shark Handbag Has a Deeper Story Behind It
In this comic arc, Deadpool and Jeff comeface to face with Emma Frost, and she has some surprising words to say when seeing the latter for the first time. She states, “It looks like a fabulous handbag with legs and teeth. I must have it.” Naturally, Deadpool doesn’t take too kindly to this comment, replying, “Gasp! How dare! It’s not a thing or a handbag. It’s Jeff.”
Season 3 ofMarvel Rivalshas plenty in store for players, but this subtle nod to a specific comic issue is a great deep cut that shows just how much detail developer NetEase sometimes adds to the game. All of these new accessories are tied to their specific characters in some way, but many may not realize that Emma Frost’s Jeff handbag is a really clever reference to theDeadpoolcomics.

Marvel Rivals Season 3 Has Big Things Planned for the Summer
Once Season 3 launches tomorrow, it will be the start ofa big summer forMarvel Rivals, and there is bound to be even more exciting content planned down the road. With the year halfway over andMarvel Rivals' one-year anniversary set for December, a fun celebration is potentially in store, but only time will tell.
WithThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsbeingone of Marvel’s biggest releases of the year, it’s no surprise thatMarvel Rivalsis getting its own crossover. When the collaboration hits, the rest ofMarvel Rivals' Fantastic Four roster will hopefully get their own accessories, and not just the Invisible Woman.
