According to a post on X from @RivalsAssembled, data mining team @XOX_LEAK have revealed that the next hero coming to the Vanguard will be none other than Armor, from the X-Men universe. Hisako Ichiki, also known as Armor, uses a psionic exoskeleton to protect herself and the people around her, making her the perfect choice for the next Marvel Rivals tank.
According to Armor's lore, her psionic exoskeleton draws strength from her ancestors, and has different forms. When the shield is blue, it enhances its strength and durability, but in extreme situations Armor's exoskeleton will turn red and increase in size, and become even stronger.

Marvel Rivals not only utilizes the most popular superheroes, like Captain America, The Hulk, SpiderMan, and Wolverine, but also lets some of the lesser-known characters have a turn in the spotlight. Armor will enter the arena as a melee Vanguard class hero, and the data mining done by @XOX_LEAKS shows that her kit will revolve around alternating armor forms. Here's a look at the full list of abilities revealed in the leak.
It's clear that Armor will be a melee tank, but we still don't know exactly...
