The Thing’s Beach Skin from Infinity Comic sparks ‘The Thong’ meme craze in the Marvel Rivals community

Marvel Rivals Infinity comic book that elaborates on the current storyline of the Marvel Rivals game, features a summer beach skin for the Fantastic Four hero, The Thing. He is seen on a beach wearing a swimsuit, or rather a ‘thong’, which fans have picked up and made a meme out of.
Seeing that several outfits from the Infinity comic book series have already made their way into the Marvel Rivals game, it is quite likely that NetEase Games will also release the ‘The Thong’ beach skin for The Thing in the coming weeks.
Fans are delighted at the hilarious nature of The Thing’s swimsuit skin and are anticipating its release in Marvel Rivals. One Marvel Rivals player spoke out in excitement, saying, “THE THONG IS REAL”. Another player voiced their disappointment, pointing at the minimal changes made to the hero’s outfit for a new skin. OrbitOddity said, “This is the dumbest skin possible for the Thing. All this looks like is a change of underwear. I hope they don’t charge units for this. An event skin at best.”
While the Marvel Rivals community discusses the Thong meme, one important thing to consider is that no official announcement has been made yet regarding the release of The Thing’s Thong skin in Marvel Rivals. However, several other summer beach skins have been showcased in the Marvel Rivals Infinity comic, which hints at a possible summer event coming in April in Marvel Rivals.
