The launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 introduces players to a new map called Midtown, a location well-known to Marvel aficionados as a bustling hub in the heart of the Big Apple. Yet, *Marvel Rivals* has sprinkled the map with subtle nods to the Marvel universe, inviting fans to discover these hidden gems. Here's a comprehensive guide to every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals* and what they signify.
Unsurprisingly, the iconic Baxter Building, home to Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, graces the Midtown map. Given that Season 1 spotlights the Fantastic Four, players starting their game within this landmark will find a fitting tribute to the team.
As players explore the cityscape beyond their spawn point, they'll spot both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower. The latter is the headquarters of Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, while the former serves as the base for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In *Marvel Rivals*'s storyline, however, Season 1's villain, Dracula, has commandeered Avengers Tower.
Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, another formidable villain, has his towering presence in Midtown. Players can easily spot Fisk Tower as they navigate the map, though this doesn't necessarily signal the imminent arrival of his nemesis, Daredevil, in the game.
The F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a refuge for New York's homeless, makes an appearance. Though not a major fixture in the comics, it plays a significant role in the *Marvel's Spider-Man* video games, where May Parker contributes to its operations until her tragic demise due to Devil's Breath.

*Marvel Rivals* pays homage to X-Men fans with a Dazzler Easter egg in Midtown. The mutant appears to be on a tour, potentially rivaling another in-game pop star, Luna Snow. While Dazzler's future in the game remains uncertain, this nod could hint at her potential inclusion.
Advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known as the "Heroes for Hire," are visible throughout Midtown. These street-level heroes are known for their mercenary work around New York, though they don't physically appear on the map, suggesting they're not far off.
New York's darker side is evident with advertisements for Roxxon Energy, a notorious corporation often involved in nefarious activities. Roxxon is known for hiring villains to carry out its dirty deeds, including battling heroes.
A.I.M., another villainous organization, is setting up shop in New York in *Marvel Rivals*. Originally a branch of Hydra, A.I.M. has ventured out to create 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 revolutionary think tank to Tony Stark, only to be rejected.
Villains can find respite at the Bar With No Name, a notorious safe haven scattered across major cities in the Marvel Universe. Its mysterious origins add an intriguing layer to Midtown's landscape.
Even heroes need to promote their brands, and a Van Dyne fashion boutique advertisement in Midtown suggests that either Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, or her MCU counterpart, Hope Van Dyne, might be behind the venture.
These are all the Midtown Easter eggs you can find in *Marvel Rivals*. For those eager to explore more, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and learn how to unlock them.
