VTuber Aruuu saw her own bot on Marvel Rivals, so she called NetEase to ask if they could “recycle” her likeness for Invisible Woman.

As it turns out, the team did, meaning Psylocke and Sue Storm shared a body double.
If you've been staring closely at the Invisible Woman's… “dimensions” in Marvel Rivals and thought they looked familiar, you're not alone.
VTuber Alanya 'Aruuu' Alisha, AKA, the body double for Pyslocke, thought the same, so she called NetEase and learned that the team had “reused” her likeness for Sue Storm.
“Thank you so much for being able to say that again my ass,” Aruuu tweeted. “Never thought it would happen but I think I'm making a good name for myself in the gaming industry.”
Aruuu has set his sights on another superhero bot
With two Marvel rival superheroes under his belt – literally – one fan had to ask, “If they used your property a third time, which character would you want to be”?
“Actually I would cry if they added X23 or Kitty Pryde,” Arou said. “Probably though, I think Rog will definitely make it before those two (which I want).”
How Aru landed a modeling job for Marvel Rivals is, surprisingly, all thanks to denim.
“Jeans. Jeans are the best way to start because the main focus is usually the fit but also the ass,” Aruuu explained. “I started modeling for jeans with Express, American Eagle and Abercrombie.”

We weren't supposed to know who was behind each character. Aruuu himself said as much, revealing that NetEase prohibited models from publicly discussing which characters used their likenesses, but as he tweeted last month, “the cat is out of the bag”.
