Marvel Rivals: Uncovering All Midtown Easter Eggs
The launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 introduces a new map, Midtown, which should be familiar to most Marvel fans as it's set in the iconic Big Apple. However, *Marvel Rivals* has sprinkled some delightful Easter eggs throughout Midtown for fans to discover. Here's a comprehensive guide to every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals* and what they signify.
Every Marvel Rivals Midtown Easter Egg & What They Mean
The Baxter Building
It's no surprise that the Baxter Building, home to Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, makes an appearance in Midtown. Given that the Fantastic Four are the focus of Season 1, players attacking on the new map start their game within this iconic structure.
Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower
As players venture out from their spawn point, they can spot both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower. The latter is where Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, conducts his nefarious business, while the former is the headquarters of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In *Marvel Rivals*' continuity, however, Season 1 villain Dracula has taken control of Avengers Tower.
Fisk Tower
Another major Marvel villain with a significant presence in Midtown is Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. His tower is easily noticeable as players navigate the map, though it doesn't confirm the arrival of his arch-enemy, Daredevil, in the game anytime soon.
F.E.A.S.T.
The F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a homeless shelter aiding New York's residents, is featured in Midtown. While not a major element in the comics, it's prominently featured in both *Marvel's Spider-Man* games, where May Parker helps run the center until her tragic death due to Devil's Breath.

Dazzler
*Marvel Rivals* ensures X-Men fans aren't left out, with a Dazzler Easter egg in Midtown. The mutant appears to be on tour in this version of Earth, potentially rivaling another pop star, Luna Snow. While it's unclear if NetEase plans to introduce Dazzler as a playable character, this Easter egg hints at the possibility.
Heroes for Hire
Advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known as the "Heroes for Hire," can be found in Midtown. These street-level heroes are known for saving the day in New York, often for a fee. While they don't appear directly on the map in *Marvel Rivals*, their presence is felt through these ads.
Roxxon Energy
New York isn't just home to heroes in the Marvel Universe. Players can spot advertisements for Roxxon Energy, a company notorious for its villainous activities. Roxxon often employs villains to carry out its dirty work, including battling heroes.
A.I.M.
Another evil organization, A.I.M., is looking to establish a presence in New York within *Marvel Rivals*. Originally a part of Hydra, A.I.M. branched out and began creating bizarre creatures, including M.O.D.O.K. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, A.I.M. is led by Aldrich Killian, who attempted to pitch his world-changing think tank to Tony Stark, only to be rejected.
Bar With No Name
Villains seeking a break from their battles can head to the Bar With No Name, a safe haven for baddies found in every major city in the Marvel Universe. Its mysterious origins add to its allure.
Van Dyne
Even heroes need to promote their brands, and one of the Van Dynes is doing just that with a fashion boutique advertisement in Midtown. While the ad doesn't show them, it's likely that either the original Wasp, Janet, or her MCU daughter, Hope, is behind the venture.
And that's every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals*. If you're looking for more, here are all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
