NetEase Gamesis doing everything to give the community an authentic superhero experience and there are some hurdles along the way. The gaming community recently noticed thatthe developers nerfed the abilities of Adam Warlock inMarvel Rivalsafter comparing two different previews released at different points in time.

Perhaps the developers realized they couldn’t accurately give all the characters like Warlock the same treatment in other adaptations and showcase them being fully overpowered. Warlock is not the only character with unique abilities that could be a game changer, some fans noticed one Spider-Man villain’s cooldown grants him a massive health burst.
