Injustice 2: 15 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include
8. The Bride
Miramax Pictures
Again, this is a character you'd probably expect to find in Mortal Kombat, rather than in any old title reflecting the costumes and capes of the world's most iconic comic book universe, but hey, if the Terminator is fair game, then so is The Bride.
The main protagonist of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga, Uma Thurman's ass-kicking ninja-slicing anti-hero would be an absolutely stellar pick for a fighting game - her proficiency in bladed weaponry being the least of the many reasons why.
Apart from being just about the most engaging cinematic anti-hero of the century thus far, The Bride projects an onscreen gravitas few others can match. Plus, she's just about the biggest badass I can think of as I write this, so there's that too.
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.
