The launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 introduces a new map, Midtown, a setting familiar to many Marvel enthusiasts, as it's often featured in various projects set in the bustling heart of New York City. However, *Marvel Rivals* has sprinkled some delightful Easter eggs throughout Midtown for fans to discover. Here's a comprehensive guide to every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals* and what they signify.
Every Marvel Rivals Midtown Easter Egg & What They Mean
The Baxter Building
It's no surprise that the Baxter Building, the iconic home of Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, makes an appearance in Midtown. Given that the Fantastic Four are the central focus of Season 1, players starting the game on the new map will find themselves launching from within this legendary structure.
Avengers Tower & Oscorp Tower
As players venture out from their spawn points and explore the city, they'll spot both Avengers Tower and Oscorp Tower. The latter is the corporate headquarters of Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, while the former serves as the base for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In the *Marvel Rivals* storyline, however, Season 1's villain, Dracula, has taken over Avengers Tower.
Fisk Tower
Another prominent Marvel villain with a significant presence in Midtown is Wilson Fisk, better known as Kingpin. His towering edifice is easily spotted as players navigate the map, though this shouldn't be taken as a hint that his arch-nemesis, Daredevil, will be joining the game anytime soon.
F.E.A.S.T.
The F.E.A.S.T. Community Center, a homeless shelter that aids New York's residents, appears in Midtown. While not a major feature in the comics, it's notably present in both *Marvel's Spider-Man* games. May Parker is involved in running the center until her tragic death caused by the Devil's Breath.

Dazzler
*Marvel Rivals* ensures X-Men fans aren't left out by including a Dazzler Easter egg in Midtown. In this version of Earth, the mutant appears to be on a musical tour, potentially rivaling another pop star, Luna Snow. While it's unclear if NetEase plans to introduce Dazzler as a playable character, this Easter egg suggests she might make an appearance in the future.
Heroes for Hire
Advertisements for Iron Fist and Luke Cage, known as the "Heroes for Hire," can be seen in Midtown. These street-level heroes are known for their efforts in saving New York, often for a fee. Although they don't appear directly on the map in *Marvel Rivals*, their presence nearby is almost certain.
Roxxon Energy
New York isn't only home to heroes in the Marvel Universe. Players will also find ads for Roxxon Energy, a company notorious for its nefarious activities. Roxxon often hires villains to carry out its dirty work, including confronting heroes.
A.I.M.
Another sinister organization, A.I.M., is attempting to establish a presence in New York in *Marvel Rivals*. Originally part of Hydra, A.I.M. branched out and started creating bizarre creatures, including M.O.D.O.K. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, A.I.M. is led by Aldrich Killian, who pitched his idea of a revolutionary think tank to Tony Stark, only to be rejected.
Bar With No Name
Villains looking for a break from hero confrontations can find solace at the Bar With No Name, a notorious safe haven for baddies across the Marvel Universe. Each major city has one, though their origins remain shrouded in mystery, adding to their intrigue.
Van Dyne
Even heroes need to market their brands, and one of the Van Dynes is promoting their fashion boutique in Midtown. While the advertisement doesn't feature them, it's likely that either the original Wasp, Janet, or her MCU counterpart, Hope, is managing the business.
And that concludes every Midtown Easter egg in *Marvel Rivals*. For those eager to explore further, here are all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
