Look, we’re all familiar with the Internet: sometimes websites write needlessly dramatic headlines to catch your attention. But we’re really not exaggerating with this one: how many of you had Jeff the Land Shark on your Marvel Rivals bingo card? Okay, we know technically this character leaked so some of you may have already been aware of their impending inclusion, but the rest of you? Exactly!
Who even is Jeff the Land Shark? Well, this is a character that’s not been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, so he’s perhaps less well known in popular culture. But comic book enthusiasts will immediately recognise the character from the West Coast Avengers. He was first included in a comic in 2018, but wasn’t officially named and introduced until a later issue in 2019.

As you’d expect of a shark, Jeff’s main ability is biting and his enormous appetite, although his unique attributes (i.e. his legs) set him apart from his aquatic peers. We love all the character designs in Marvel Rivals, and we reckon Jeff the Land Shark looks ace as well.
Of course, if you’re waiting to see how he plays, then you won’t have to wait long, as he’ll be joining the PS5 closed beta alongside another character who needs no introduction: Thor. Obviously, many of you will already be familiar with the God of Thunder, so we’re confident we don’t need to elaborate.
In terms of gameplay roles, it’s expected that Thor will be a Vanguard while Jeff the Land Shark will be a Strategist. We’ll test both out over the weekend and put together some impressions if they’re particularly interesting to play as. In the meantime, check out the trailer embedded above for a first glimpse at the two new arrivals.

Jeff is also inexplicably the most powerful(arguably) and sought after card in Marvel Snap 😂
I feel like I’m the only person who read that WCA run. Such a bizarre mix of characters but I’ve been a Kate Bishop stan since the early 10s so it was a no brainer.
At first I wasn't interested in the game, but now when I saw Jeff the Land Shark is included my interest remains the same
@Czar_Khastik Okay, this one got me.
Ewwww why does it have paws
I know of Jeff the land shark because of Marvel Snap.
Also Second Diner...port the game to PS5 for god's sake.
Sammy you missed the chance to say it's not "click shark bait."
I signed up for the Beta but never got an invite. I'm dying to play lol. Hopefully I get an invite later in the week. Enjoyed Concord, so I'd probably have a blast on Rivals 🤣🤣🤣
@get2sammyb Well, finally! 😂
I thought it was Baby Shark (dont' exactly know who or what that is either, something to do with phukpoaw I'm guessing) and now I have nothing but disappointment.
"recognise the character from the West Coast Avengers"
Well that explains it, the "Love Island" of superhero teams. 😂
@rjejr Hey, that’s no way to talk about the team that gave us Mockingbird and Hawkeye power couple!
Why did nobody comment "my name is Jeff" so far?
I am actually a bit excited for that game. I know that I will probably delete it somewhere between 5-10 hours of gameplay. But looking forward to that few hours.
So he's marvel's kirby?
They should absolutely include more deep cuts like Jeff.
@nessisonett " Mockingbird and Hawkeye power couple "
I haven't really read any comics since the mid 90's, Marvel since the late 80's, but I did read some of the WCA and all I recall is that it was basically just a lot of dating and sleeping around.😂
@rjejr Pretty much that, the best Avengers team!
@nessisonett " the best Avengers team! "
Well it was certainly the best Avengers team to be on. 😂#TigraStans
