Injustice 2: 15 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include
14. He-Man
Mattel
With He-Man, Ed Boon has the power (HA! please don't hurt me) to really amp up the bombast of Injustice's sequel.
As a staple of '80s animation iconography, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe would make the perfect comic relief to juxtapose to Injustice's often dark and sombre narrative direction. That, or you take Mattel's action hero and turn him into a Conan-esque barbarian whose main recourse to diplomacy is violence and to hear the lamentation of his foe's women, which, to be honest, doesn't sound all that bad to me either.
Prince Adam's fighting style would obviously involve his proficiency with a sword, as well as a sharp focus on his immense strength and ability to tackle even the most powerful of opponents. Add in a few easter eggs from the original show, and you could make He-Man a must-have pick for anyone hopping into Injustice 2's multiplayer.
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.
