A recently released summer skin for Captain America in NetEase's hero shooter Marvel Rivals is garnering attention for its character model's animated properties. The outfit, part of a new wave of summer costumes that also includes new looks for Lady Loki and White Fox, features Captain America in a red, white, and blue ensemble.
While the initial appearance of the skin seems relatively standard for the game, closer inspection and review of player-shared clips reveal what appear to be jiggle physics applied to Captain America's character model, specifically around the groin area. This has led to online commentary and discussion, particularly given the developer's previous statements that Marvel Rivals was not intended to be a "gooner game."
The inclusion of such physics in a mainstream Marvel title has raised eyebrows, with some players humorously noting that the character now has "America's Ass" and "something on the other side" for the country to claim. Despite NetEase's stated intentions, the game's cosmetic offerings continue to feature more revealing or suggestive outfits, leading to speculation about the direction of its visual design.
This development has also prompted lighthearted comparisons to other online games, with some users jokingly suggesting that competitors like Overwatch should follow suit with similar character customization options. The summer skins for Marvel Rivals are currently available as part of the game's ongoing content updates.
