Injustice 3: 10 Guest Characters NetherRealm Must Include
4. Grifter
DC Comics
Wildstorm may technically be a DC property, and Grifter himself may have even appeared in the main DC universe after the start of the New 52, but it's not so connected to the publisher that they should be considered 'DC characters' per se.
For those not in the know, WildC.A.T.S. is a Jim Lee, Brandon Choi creation that emerged at the start of the nineties during the founding of Image Comics. The Wildstorm Universe was then sold to DC as the decade drew to a close, during which time they featured in their own animated series, had their own merchandise range and video game.
The following decades have seen Lee and Choi's creation met with less interest, but it's a truly valuable property and one that's often been under-utilised in recent years. They have the potential for bigger and better things, and so it's with that in mind that any WildC.A.T. would feel perfectly at home in an Injustice sequel.
In this case, Grifter seems the most appropriate choice. He receives the most amount of attention out of any of the group these days, while his skills with firearms and telekinesis would also play to NetherRealm's strengths.
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.
