Mister Fantastic is a duelist with unique reach and zoning capabilities thanks to his elastic abilities. He can harass from unexpected angles, displace enemies, and control space effectively. His versatility makes him valuable in both skirmishes and teamfights. The key to his playstyle is creativity—stretching his abilities to poke safely, disrupt enemy positioning, or peel for allies. He synergizes well with vanguards who anchor fights, as he can extend pressure without committing too deeply. His range allows him to punish enemies attempting to disengage. His counters include mobile duelists who can dodge his linear abilities and strategists who out-range his mid-range zoning. Crowd control also disrupts his fluid combat style. Despite these counters, Mister Fantastic provides unique utility and consistent mid-range presence.
