Since there was one for Looney Tunes, I figured why not one for DC Comics. I realize there are four characters currently on the roster but DC has a rich history of iconic characters and unique choices represented across multiple media, many that can fill the archetypes of other fighters and ones that could bring some new ideas to the table as well

So what DC characters do you guys believe could/should be further added to this game?

Jarro, Teen Titans, Dex-Starr, Joker all have enough support to where I could see them making it in the game. I've also seen a few people ask for Slade/ Deathstroke

I think I'd enjoy seeing some of DC's acquired characters making their way into MultiVersus.

Heroes like Plastic Man, Blue Beetle and Shazam are a part of the universe since decades ago but some of the more recent members such as Static, John Constantine or Midnighter and Apollo would all be great additions imo.

DC already has about 4 characters in the game. I personally hope DC does not turn out to be the Fire Emblem of Multiversus in terms of representation. However, I'm in the need of wanting The Joker himself as well as Beast Boy. Also, I think Krypto would be cool to promote the new DC Super Pets movie.

DC is technically a "series", but it's also a sub-company along the lines of Cartoon Network or Hanna-Barbera. I'd say we have one character from the Wonder Woman "Series", one from the Superman series, and two from the Batman series (though Harley Quinn has kinda spun off from him).

My favorite aspect of DC is the supernatural and oddity characters, so basically, everyone who has been in Justice League Dark would make me happy with a confirmation. I said it in the nomination thread earlier, but Zatanna is one of my all-time favorite heroes, and I would love her or John Constantine especially just to see what they could do with a fun magic attack-themed character.

I also don't want oversaturation with Batman (but it's going to happen anyway), but that said, it would be nice to have a Batgirl or Oracle assist character in some way. Even though I'm mixed on Batman stuff, I've pretty consistently enjoyed her stories and character.

One super obscure character that I'd love is Black Alice.

She has the ability to copy the powers of any magical being in the DC Universe so you can get really creative with her attacks.

Starro the Conqueror is a definitely must for this game.

Another example of a "big" character like The Iron Giant and presumably
Godzilla assuming Legendary leaving WB doesn't scrap him as what happened with Gandalf.

Also would like to see King Shark. The dude's been getting more popular over the years. I feel he deserves a spot in this game.

Remind me what Starro’s powers are? All I know of is his mind control babies and I’m not sure if those can be implemented without being super broken
Size changing and he had 5 sinestro corps rings at one point

Oh and I think he can control other starfish

Smaller versions of himself that he releases to control others to be precise.



On top of that given his canon size, obviously superhuman strength and is also capable of flight.

So, something I was wondering about.

If Rorschach were to get into the game, would it be likely for the character who inspired his creation, The Question, to serve as an alt?

As a Batman fan, I wouldn't mind the oversaturation, Zatanna did interact with the Batfamily a fair amount of times before in some fashion. Incidentally, Zee and Batgirl are among the main cast of DC Super Hero Girls nowadays. Zatanna's one of my favorite DC heroes, to boot, so I'd love to see her get in here especially seeing as she got into Injustice 2's mobile version.

That seems likely (that the question would be an alt) I would also like to see prison Rorschach without the mask. He’s one of my most wanteds (top ten)

Seeing as DC Comics has their own versions of the Fawcett Comics characters and I've been on a huge Fawcett Comics kick lately. I would love to see some of their superheroes such as Spy Smasher, Ibis the Invincible, or Bulletman and Bulletgirl in Multiversus.

While Beast Boy understandably gets more talk than him, the animal-powered superhero I'd like to see in Multiversus the most is Vixen. Here's a moveset for her:


VIXEN

PASSIVE ABILITIES: Feral Instincts
Some of Vixen’s attacks apply the MARK OF TANTU to enemies. The melee attacks of Vixen’s allies deal more damage to enemies with the MARK. If an ally attacks an ARMORED enemy while they have MARK OF TANTU, the attack consumes the mark to BREAK ARMOR.

ATTACKS
DASH ATTACK
: Ox Horns
Vixen crosses her arms in front of her face and rams forward.

NEUTRAL GROUND: Rhino Tackle
Vixen CHARGES a body check.

SIDE GROUND: Leopard Claws
A COMBO from Vixen's claws that ends with a pounce.

UP GROUND: Rabbit Jump
Vixen CHARGES a jumping knee strike that leaves her airborne.

DOWN GROUND: Scorpion Sting
Vixen performs a crouching scorpion kick that IGNITES opponents.

NEUTRAL AIR: Feral Spin
Vixen spins around herself, slashing with her claws.

SIDE AIR: Horse Kick
Vixen performs a dropkick that bounces her off from opponents if it connects.

UP AIR: Ursine Slaps
Vixen swipes the air above herself twice.

DOWN AIR: Bee Sting
Vixen performs an upside-down knife hand thrust that BREAKS ARMOR.


SPECIALS
NEUTRAL GROUND
: Lioness Roar
Vixen CHARGES a roar that STOP PROJECTILES nearby and knocks back opponents, applying MARK OF TANTU to them.

SIDE GROUND: Cheetah Dash
Vixen crouches and rushes forward, hitting opponents along the way. If an opponent inflicted with MARK OF TANTU is nearby, she will dash towards them instead. If she passes by an ally, she will give them HASTENED. COOLDOWN applies.

UP GROUND: Soaring Eagle
Vixen CHARGES and takes flight spinning and spreading her arms at the peak of her ascend. She then can GLIDE. While flying, Vixen creates a VACUUM that hits enemies repeatedly. The last hit applies MARK OF TANTU.

DOWN GROUND: Serpent Snare
Vixen slides a short distance forward, ducking under some attacks. If she catches an opponent, she GRABS and launches them, applying MARK OF TANTU to them in the process.


NEUTRAL AIR: Skyborne Lioness
Same as ground.

SIDE AIR: Dolphin Flip
Vixen flips forward as she performs an arc kick. This attack has a SWEETSPOT that applies MARK OF TANTU.

UP AIR: Eagle Flight
Same as ground.

DOWN AIR: Elephant Drop
Vixen CHARGES a downward stomp with both legs that drops her to the ground, creating a shockwave as she lands.

I've been reading a decent amount of Green Lantern recently, which has me wondering - if/when a Green Lantern gets added (I think the launch trailer hinted at that), which one do you think it would be?

Hal Jordan seems like the safe pick (he's been the "main" Green Lantern since 1959), though John Stewart's popular due to his role as the Green Lantern in the DC Animated Universe. I could see Jessica Cruz being a dark horse pick; she's much newer, but she has a very different personality from the rest of the Green Lanterns, which could lead to some fun interactions. (plus, I think she was used as the Justice League's Green Lantern in the Super Pets movie, so there is a push for her)

It seems like the dev team already knows how popular DC cartoons are among the fans so I wouldn't be surprised if they go with John Steward as the default Green Lantern. Quite a few fans, me included, learned about him before Hal Jordan and he's also less controversial than him.

Agree that Jessica Cruz isn't too unlikely. She'll be a fun, more modern pick.
