The launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 introduces a thrilling new map, Midtown, which should be instantly recognizable to fans of the Marvel Universe. Set in the heart of the Big Apple, Midtown is packed with Easter eggs that pay homage to various elements from the Marvel lore. Here’s a comprehensive look at every Midtown Easter egg you can find in *Marvel Rivals* and what they signify.
Every Marvel Rivals Midtown Easter Egg & What They Mean
The Baxter Building
It's no surprise to see the Baxter Building, home to Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, prominently featured in Midtown. Given that Season 1 centers around the Fantastic Four, players start the game right within this iconic structure, setting the stage for thrilling battles.
Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower
As players venture out from their spawn points, they'll notice both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower standing tall amidst the cityscape. While Oscorp Tower is the headquarters of Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, Avengers Tower, traditionally the base for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, has been taken over by Season 1's villain, Dracula, in Marvel Rivals.
Fisk Tower
Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, asserts his presence in Midtown with his towering edifice, Fisk Tower. Easily spotted as players navigate the map, it's a nod to the notorious villain. However, this shouldn't be mistaken as a hint of Daredevil's imminent arrival in the game.
F.E.A.S.T.
Midtown also features the F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a significant location in the Marvel's Spider-Man games. Known as a homeless shelter, it's managed by May Parker until her tragic demise due to Devil's Breath, adding a poignant touch to the map.

Dazzler
Marvel Rivals ensures X-Men fans aren't left out, with an Easter egg showcasing Dazzler on tour in Midtown. This hints at her potential future inclusion in the game, especially with her apparent rivalry with another pop star, Luna Snow.
Heroes for Hire
Midtown is also dotted with advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known as the "Heroes for Hire." These street-level heroes are known for their mercenary work around New York, suggesting they might be close by, ready to join the fray.
Roxxon Energy
Not all is good in Midtown; players can spot ads for Roxxon Energy, a notorious corporation in the Marvel Universe known for its nefarious activities and hiring villains to do its bidding.
A.I.M.
Another sinister presence in Midtown is A.I.M., an organization with roots in Hydra that's now branching out on its own. Known for creating bizarre creatures like M.O.D.O.K., A.I.M. is a constant threat in the Marvel Universe.
Bar With No Name
For villains needing a break, the Bar With No Name serves as a safe haven across major Marvel cities. Its mysterious origins add an intriguing layer to Midtown's backdrop.
Van Dyne
Even heroes need to promote their brands, as seen with an advertisement for a Van Dyne fashion boutique. This could be linked to either the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne, or her daughter, Hope Van Dyne from the MCU.
