The debut of Marvel Rivals Season 1 introduces a vibrant new map, Midtown, which will resonate with most Marvel aficionados as it mirrors the bustling streets of the Big Apple. While the map is steeped in nostalgia, Marvel Rivals subtly scattered Easter eggs for fans to uncover. Below is a comprehensive list of every Midtown Easter egg featured in Marvel Rivals and their significance.
The Baxter Building
Home to the Fantastic Four, the iconic Baxter Building makes an appearance in Midtown. Given that the First Family is the central focus of Season 1, players begin their journey inside this legendary structure.
Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower
As players explore Midtown, they'll notice the towering presence of Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower. Oscorp, Norman Osborn’s domain, serves as the base for villains like the Green Goblin. Meanwhile, Avengers Tower, once the headquarters for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, is under the control of Season 1 antagonist Dracula in Marvel Rivals’ universe.
Fisk Tower
Wilson Fisk, better known as Kingpin, dominates Midtown with his imposing tower. Although this villainous landmark is prominent, don’t expect Daredevil to join the game anytime soon—his absence is notable.
F.E.A.S.T.
A beacon of hope in New York City, F.E.A.S.T. (Food Empowerment Assistance and Street Help) is a community center aiding the city’s less fortunate. Though it plays a minor role in the comics, it has appeared in both Spider-Man video games, where May Parker played a key role in its operations.

Dazzler
X-Men enthusiasts will rejoice at the inclusion of Dazzler in Midtown. As the mutant superstar tours the city, she seems poised to challenge Luna Snow for pop culture dominance. While her future in the game remains uncertain, this Easter egg hints at her potential arrival.
Heroes for Hire
Iron Fist and Luke Cage, collectively known as the “Heroes for Hire,” advertise their services throughout Midtown. Although they don’t directly appear on the map, their presence suggests they’re close by, ready to lend a hand—or a punch.
Roxxon Energy
Roxxon Energy, a company synonymous with villainy, has a strong presence in Midtown. Known for its nefarious activities, Roxxon employs numerous villains to execute its schemes.
A.I.M.
Another sinister organization, A.I.M., is expanding its influence in New York within Marvel Rivals. Once affiliated with Hydra, A.I.M. now operates independently, creating bizarre creatures like M.O.D.O.K. In the MCU, Aldrich Killian, founder of Advanced Idea Mechanics, pitched his world-altering ideas to Tony Stark but met rejection.
Bar With No Name
When villains need a breather from their battles, they retreat to the Bar With No Name—a sanctuary for the morally ambiguous. Each major Marvel city hosts one, and its mysterious origins add intrigue.
Van Dyne
The Van Dyne family ventures into fashion branding in Midtown. While the exact individual behind the boutique remains unseen, it’s likely either Janet van Dyne (the original Wasp) or her MCU counterpart, Hope van Dyne, managing the store.
