  "textContent": "Elsa Bloodstone, the supernatural monster hunter joining the _Marvel Rivals_ roster as a playable character, is voiced by actress Helen Sadler. Sadler is known for her work across television and animation, with notable credits including _True Blood_ , _Love Death & Robots_, and _LEGO Star Wars_.\n\n**Quick answer:** Helen Sadler provides the voice of Elsa Bloodstone in _Marvel Rivals_.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase__\n\n* * *\n\n### Who Is Helen Sadler?\n\nHelen Sadler is an actress whose career spans live-action television and voice work. She appeared in HBO's _True Blood_ and contributed voice performances to Netflix's animated anthology _Love Death & Robots_ as well as the _LEGO Star Wars_ franchise. Her casting as Elsa Bloodstone in _Marvel Rivals_ marks her entry into the Marvel gaming universe.\n\n* * *\n\n### Elsa Bloodstone's Voice Acting History in Games\n\nSadler is not the first actress to voice Elsa Bloodstone in a video game. The character has appeared across several Marvel titles over the years, each with a different performer behind the mic. In _Marvel Avengers Academy_ , Jeni Dean voiced the character. Kari Wahlgren took on the role for _Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order_. With Sadler now handling the part in _Marvel Rivals_ , the character continues to receive fresh vocal interpretations with each new game appearance.\n\n* * *\n\n### Elsa Bloodstone's Comic Book Origins\n\nElsa Bloodstone first appeared in Marvel Comics in _Bloodstone_ #1, published in December 2001. Created by writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning alongside artist Michael Lopez, she is the daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone and the sister of Cullen Bloodstone. Like her father, she is a monster hunter, wielding superhuman strength, speed, durability, and a regenerative healing factor. She also possesses immunity to vampire bites — her blood is lethal to vampires who consume it.\n\nMuch of her power stems from the Bloodgem fragment she wears on a choker, though she has also inherited some abilities genetically. She is an expert marksman and has carried an arsenal ranging from Uzis to rifles concealed in a guitar case during her time with the Nextwave squad.\n\nOver the years, Elsa has served on multiple Marvel teams, including the Midnight Sons, the Fearless Defenders, and Nextwave. She played significant roles in major comic events like _Monsters Unleashed_ , _Civil War II_ (through the _A-Force_ tie-in), and the _Damnation_ limited series.\n\nElsa Bloodstone first appeared in Marvel Comics in __Bloodstone__ #1 | Image credit: __NetEase__\n\n* * *\n\n### Elsa Bloodstone in Live Action and Other Media\n\nBeyond comics and games, Elsa Bloodstone appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the 2022 Disney+ television special _Werewolf by Night_ , where she was portrayed by Laura Donnelly. That version of the character was depicted as the estranged stepdaughter of Verussa Bloodstone. The character has also appeared in numerous other Marvel games, including _Marvel Contest of Champions_ , _Marvel Strike Force_ , _Marvel: Future Fight_ , _Marvel Puzzle Quest_ , and _Marvel Snap_.\n\n* * *\n\nSadler's casting fits a pattern of _Marvel Rivals_ bringing in voice talent with established genre credentials. For players curious about the character's deeper lore, Elsa Bloodstone has over two decades of comic book history to explore, but in-game, expect the sharp-tongued, gun-toting monster hunter that Marvel fans have come to recognize.",
