“Being an old-school fan of Marvel’s Squirrel Girl, I’ve got to say, it’s funny seeing all these video game fans discovering her and losing their minds,” wrote one player. Other fans were overjoyed that the long-forgotten character is finally receiving attention. 

“I do love how Squirrel Girl has sorta become the character that no one expects to be in anything, but no one is very disappointed by her inclusion. I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen any modern squirrel girl hate and that makes me happy, Doreen deserves the fame.”

Squirrel Girl’s last appearance was in November 2019, where she appeared in her own series – The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. Since then, the mischievous hero has been MIA. So, it comes as a pleasant surprise that this mischievous hero finally gets a video game appearance. 

It’s not just her design that has proven popular, as her explosive kit has led to many players joking about her true potential. One commenter even joked that Squirrel Girl could even destroy Space Marine’s mighty Horus in 1v1 combat.
