Injustice 3: 10 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include
2. The T-1000
TriStar
The T-800 may be the most famous Terminator in Skynet's arsenal, but there's also one that's slightly more menacing - the T-1000.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day's liquid metal assassin was an ominous presence when he first burst onto screens in 1991, and one who potentially even lends itself better to the fighting game format than its bulkier, Arnie-r counterpart.
If Robert Patrick's menacing stare isn't enough to sell you on the character, then their equally menacing skill-set surely will. The T-1000 can shape-shift into pretty much anything, has an array of deadly blades to form and can even imitate other characters. The latter ability would allow the robo-assassin to mimic other move-sets - another bonus, given their base abilities are already pretty great.
2019's various Terminator-based video game crossovers have been pretty weird, but there's no point calling it a day until the T-1000 gets its due.
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.
