Mortal Kombat 11: 10 Gaming Icons Who MUST Guest Star

1. The Doomslayer

Mortal Kombat Doom
Id Software

From his genre-defining first appearance in 1993 and all the way to his turn in the upcoming sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed shooters of the decade, the Doomslayer has more than earned a spot among gaming royalty.

While it may be easy to write off The Doomslayer as an easy pick for reputation alone, he actually has become quite a desired guest pick for another AAA fighting game franchise . Regularly cropping up in fan polls and speculation as a DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the high octane gunplay and brutal melee attacks of the Doomslayer feel perfectly suited to either a zoning or grappling fighting style.

However, the all-new Doomslayer is a modern gaming icon crying out for a guest appearance outside the confines of his own game.

While the visual of the Doomslayer throwing down against Princess Peach and Pac-Man is a marvel in and of itself, the sheer brutality of this hero can only be done 2D justice in one fighting series and one fighting series alone... the gory, bombastic and oftentimes hilarious world of Mortal Kombat.
