Injustice 2: 15 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include

3. Negan

I'm not really on The Walking Dead hype-train, if I'm being honest, but that doesn't mean I don't understand the appeal. In Negan's case, that appeal is obvious; he's an utterly repulsive figure - that much is certain - but he's also an altogether more absorbing and engaging antagonist than what most fans of the show have become accustomed to over the years.

Of course, Negan's tendency for beating beloved series mainstays has factored into the character's nascent notoriety, but that only makes a potential Injustice appearance all the more enticing. Giving bereft players the means to move through the five stages of grief - mainly anger - by taking Negan to task in the game's virtual arenas would be a surefire way of providing a whole new dimension to the title; namely by facilitating viewer frustration with immediate virtual revenge.

Or, you know, if you're a fan of bashing people on the melon with a wired up baseball bat, then I'm sure Negan would appeal to you as well.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
