- The Hood is introduced as a new gunner Vanguard in *Marvel Rivals* Season 9.5, bringing a new kind of playstyle to the roster.
- His playstyle revolves around building 100 Demonic Energy to unleash enhanced normal attacks for eight seconds.
- His abilities include Accursed Pistols, Void Walk, Abyssal Veil, Mantle of Oblivion, and the Ultimate Demon of the End.
- He has Team-Up abilities with Scarlet Witch (Chaos Collision) and Moon Knight (New Moon's Shadow).
- The Hood's normal attack, Accursed Pistols, shoots dual-wielded pistols and gains increased Attack Speed when Demonic Energy exceeds 50 percent.
- In the Half-Demon state, Leaded Transformation transforms arms into demonic rifles with increased Attack Speed and Infinite Ammo, and every bullet that strikes an enemy triggers Lifesteal.
- The Hood's Ultimate, Demon of the End, transforms him into a stationary turret that fires up to six high-powered shots that pierce enemies and barriers, granting Bonus Health to himself and nearby allies; the final bullet is the most powerful.
- The Hood's passive, Ruinous Pact, accumulates Demonic Energy by dealing damage via Accursed Pistols, blocking attacks with Mantle of Oblivion, or using Void Walk; reaching full energy automatically triggers the Half-Demon State.
- The Hood's abilities include Void Walk (enter the Void for free-flight, reappearing with a decaying Movement Boost and damage to surrounding enemies), Abyssal Veil (throw a dark magic sphere that generates a Veil, enhancing his shots and blinding enemies), and Mantle of Oblivion (spread cloak to form a spherical barrier that expands when Demonic Energy exceeds 50 percent).
- The Hood has Team-Up abilities with Scarlet Witch and Moon Knight. The Scarlet Witch Team-Up, Chaos Collision, creates an arcane zone that damages enemies and applies stacking Damage and Healing Reduction, with a teleport and shockwave. The Moon Knight Team-Up, New Moon’s Shadow, enhances Abyssal Veil into a Lunar Barrier that blocks projectiles and detonates on breaking.
