Top 10 Guest Characters for Injustice 2
Art by Mike Mignola
The Injustice series takes place in a world based on comics, and that opens up a whole new avenue of guest characters, comic guest characters that is. As where it's traditional for fighting games to have guest characters, a lot of them just come from other fighting games or they normally make no sense. I think the best kind of guest characters for a game like Injustice, are characters from other comics and that's one of the reasons Hellboy is such a great addition. He also happens to be my favorite comic book character of all time, so I'm a little biased but nevertheless, this list consists of only characters from other comic book properties. Let's begin.
10. Ghost (Dark Horse)
Ghost is another classic Dark Horse Comic like Hellboy. Elisa Cameron might have traveled to the Injustice universe to find answers about her death and I think she would have some interesting interactions, particularly with Doctor Fate, and with her ability to turn invisible and powers of flight, she could have some interesting gameplay. Her inclusion isn't very likely since she probably wouldn't sell that well but it wouldn't be the first time she crossed over with DC. Ghost and Batgirl once appeared in the same title in a crossover comic series.
9. Eric Draven (Caliber/Image)
The Crow was a very dark and heavy comic series about Eric Draven dealing with the loss of his fiancee in a rather brutal fashion. It's was a bit of an underground hit but the gothic movie attracted enough fans. His edgy lines and vengeful hate could make him an interesting character in the Injustice universe and it's been a long time since the character had the limelight. He would be a great surprise.
8. Red Sonja (Marvel/Dynamite)
She might not be the most fitting character to add to the Injustice universe but her sword wielding skills could be really fun to try in a fighting game that doesn't have many heavy hitting woman. She's also a classic that needs a revival outside of comics.
7. The Darkness (Top Cow)
You probably know The Darkness from the video games, which makes this a cool character choice for injustice. His special moves would probably involve a lot demons being summoned and that would be something appealing to a lot of players. Maybe reminiscent of the Blackheart days of the Capcom Marvel fighting games. His gear could also be really great.
6. The Goon (Dark Horse)
The Goon is a tough geezer who wouldn't be past slamming a big wrench into 90% of the DC rosters face and if his best friend Franky would join as a companion, his journey into the Injustice universe could be a very entertaining one.
5. The Mask (Dark Horse)
If you know The Mask movies you have an idea of how fun and insane the character is. If you know The Mask comics, you know how twisted and violent the character is. The comics are a lot of fun and the movies really turned down the darker side, but if The Mask found it's way to the Injustice universe with his array of creative weapons and cartoonish invulnerability, he would have one of the wackiest move sets in the game, not to mention the craziest super move imaginable. This also wouldn't be his first run in with DC characters.
4. Spawn (Image)
The obvious one that EVERYBODY wants to see and it's hard not to want him too, he's such a badass character and with his trait probably being his cape, he could have some of the coolest gear in the game. With the new movie being announced and the hype surrounding the guy, it just make sense to thrown him in there.
3. Marv (Dark Horse)
I like Dark Horse, okay! The coolest and grittiest character from the stylish comic book series Sin City would suit Injustice very well and might attract a lot of people. His gameplay would probably be very heavy and his gear would consist of really nice coats. I also guess the rarer the gear, the more bandages he would be covered in. He'd be a great addition to Injustice.
2. Shredder (Mirage/Image/IDW)
How amazing would it be if the archenemy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles showed up in Injustice. His gameplay would be strong, close quarters and fast. His dialog would be great, especially if he has a little rivalry with Sub-Zero and his gear would be the best in the game. Shredder would simply destroy in Injustice and I would love it.
1. Judge Dredd (2000 AD)
The Injustice universe would look a lot different if the law showed up and I think Dredd yelling at everyone for causing chaos would be very entertaining. I think he would be a good surprise and really bring in some fans for a very iconic character. Also, that gear would be on point.
So there's the list, hopefully full of interesting and iconic characters. I know I would love to see them in Injustice 2. Do you like the choices? Who else would you like to see in Injustice 2?
