Injustice 2: 10 Incredibly Powerful DC Characters NetherRealm Left Out

With the two big comic book movie studios finally realising that there's a major audience for supernatural characters, you'd have thought that NetherRealm might give fans a little more of what they fancy with something a bit more... spooky in Injustice 2.

And who better to bring that creepy game than Deadman?

There's obviously a slight logistical issue with Deadman, since he's essentially a ghost who cannot actually interact with the physical world directly, but he does have the power of possession, and can jump into other characters. That could have allowed for an interesting partnership dynamic whereby the player would chose Deadman and the character (or pool of characters) he would temporarily steal control of.

Creativity and different character types are always to be desired in fighting games, and they don't come much more different or challenging than Deadman. Some day we might get him (even if NetherRealm go with a more conventional character design whereby he can hit and be hit).
