Injustice 2: 10 Characters That Should've Been Included
2. Vixen
DC Comics
Oh NetherRealm, what were you thinking?
It's bad enough that John Stewart got the alternate costume treatment again, but now poor Mari has suffered the same fate, as a skin for Cheetah no less. By all means, Minerva wasn't a bad choice for the game, but anything she can do Vixen can do better. Ten times better. Like, so much better. God.
Vixen's connection to the 'Red' gives her the ability to take on the strength of the animal kingdom, meaning that not only does she have Cheetah beat when it comes to agility and strength, she's got a whole lot more to offer gameplay wise as well. Couple that with a devoted fan following and a resurgent presence on and off the screen, and you've got a fighter that should - ideally - have been a no-brainer to include.
And no, the 'premier skin' isn't enough. A character of this stature deserves so much better.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
