The much anticipated _"Marvel Rivals":https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/marvel-rivals multiplayer player-versus-player (PvP) shooter just launched, and among the notable ensemble of heroes and villains available in the game, Squirrel Girl, in particular, is getting viral attention on the internet.

In the colorful world of Marvel Comics Squirrel Girl might not be a mainstream sensation as superheroines like Black Widow, Ms. Marvel or Jean Grey. However, the character has carved out a unique niche for herself with her quirky powers and likable personality, garnering a devoted fanbase both in and out of comic books.

The addition of the character on Marvel Rivals has reignited her fandom's interest and generated a wave of memes. Let’s explain Squirrel Girl's origin and why fans love her.

Who Is Squirrel Girl?

Squirrel Girl, whose real name is Doreen Green, made her first appearance in Marvel Super-Heroes #8 in 1991, created by writer Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko. Unlike many of her superhero peers, Squirrel Girl has a distinctive genetic anomaly that allows her to communicate with squirrels.

Over the years, she has teamed up with some of Marvel's most famous heroes, including Iron Man and Spider-Man, showcasing her clever, sometimes humorous, approach to crime-fighting.

Squirrel Girl is also one of the few canon characters who have defeated Thanos in a fight, as YouTube page Variant Comics explains how she was able to defeat Marvel's most infamous villain.

Why Are People Obsessed With Marvel Rivals' Squirrel Girl Design?

The excitement surrounding Squirrel Girl reached new heights with her addition to the PvP shooter Marvel Rivals, which launched on December 4th, 2024.

The character’s vibrant design and engaging gameplay quickly captured the attention of fans and gamers alike. For example, X user @NemuiDaysu posted a reaction video from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to express his likeness of Squirrel Girl's character design.

How Is Squirrel Girl Being Used As Memes?

The Squirrel Girl character saw a rise in popularity due to its addition to Marvel Rivals, inspiring many fan art and memes on Reddit and X.

For instance, X user @HubPointless showcased how the superheroine could "tank" a massive orbital strike from an enemy like it's nothing.

Another notable example of memetic content includes a video compilation shared on YouTube by BellaRocket of their favorite Squirrel Girl moments from the Marvel Risings animated series.
