Ever since Mortal Kombat 9, NetherRealm Studios has thrown in a crossover character or three into their fighting games. The Injustice games have had Hellboy and the Ninja Turtles, for example, but the Mortal Kombat games have been especially cameo-heavy in this regard: Mortal Kombat X featured Alien, Predator, and Leatherface, and Mortal Kombat 11 took things even further with Terminator, Robocop, Rambo, Joker, and Spawn.
Always looking to outdo themselves, the studio revealed ahead of Mortal Kombat 1's release that among the DLC fighters would be Omni-Man from Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley’s Invincible. Ed Boon revealed a first look at how Omni-Man will play in the fighter, and you can probably guess how that goes. (Hint: Not well for anyone not named Omni-Man.) Brought over to the Kombat universe thanks to timeline shenanigans (and voiced by JK Simmons, who plays him in Invincible’s animated adaptation), he’s as arrogant and imposing as ever in video game form. Gameplay-wise, he appears to play as a bruiser type that’s slower than some of the other fighters, but makes up for that in sheer power.
