NetherRealm Studios has confirmed the first three playable characters for "Injustice 2" Fighter Pack 1 but it has kept the additional six fighters a secret as of yet. But while the game is still fresh from launch, speculations sugget who these secret DLC characters are and why their addition to the game is highly likely.
The studio has announced that Red Hood, Sub-Zero, and Starfire are the next playable characters that will be unlocked in the first Fighter Pack for "Injustice 2". Now, rumors fly that the fans will be seeing the likes of Spawn, John Constantine, Hellboy, Lex Luthor, and Watchmen's Rorschach arrive in the game some time in the near future. Here's why:
Spawn
If he makes the cut, Spawn is one of the fighters that will be part of "Injustice 2" roster outside of the DC Extended Universe. His possible appearance was first teased in a survey done by the studio alongside Starfire.
This superhero is a Hellspawn who takes on a mission to dispatch evil souls to hell. He has the power of evil creatures as well as tap into the enigmatic Necroplasm.
John Constantine
Similar to Starfire and Spawn, John Constantine is a favorite to many fans and NetherRealm Studios could fulfill that wish. Another image has also pointed out that the Occult detective will be available in single-player mode.
Black Manta
It can be recalled that Black Manta was spotted when the final frame of the Fighter Pack 1 trailer was tweaked a bit. As Aquaman's nemesis, it is claimed likely that this villain will join the game's DLC roster soon.
Hellboy
Hellboy also sounds like a great addition to the game. Ed Boon included this character in one of the polls on Twitter. Then Boon teased Hellboy again in the game's DLC characters thread.
Lex Luthor
The involvement of Lex Luthoer in the latest video game will have to do with plans of DC and Warner Bros for some tie-ins to DC superhero movie releases this year. The hyper-intelligent scientist and billionaire is a supervillain to Superman, so his addition seems to figure.
Rorschach
Pundits say that Roschach has become a favorite from Watchmen to arrive as a DLC character. The heroe's ability to use everyday weapons like a hair spray, cooking fat, and other conventional arsenal including the gas-powered grappling hook will make him a great DLC character addition to "Injustice 2".
"Injustice 2" is available now on Xbox One, and PS4. It is also said that a PC version is on the cards since the first title also saw its release on the platform.
