Mortal Kombat vs DC: full roster?

Features
By published

We've already figured out 2008's strangest lineup

What's that mean? Well, Boon claims Sub-Zero is roughly equivalent to Batman because they're both the silent-broody-night-ninja type (not sure about Superman and Scorpion though...), so that means the rest of the characters should have some kind of connection. Armed with this information (and a stupidly vast love of comics) we finalized this list of incredibly likely inclusions.

Martian Manhunter and Shang Tsung
Two shape-shifting weirdoes that hardly ever reveal their true form. One blasts fire, the other one's terrified of it. Already makes more sense than Batman/Sub-Zero (which already sounds like awful fan fiction).

Johnny Cage and Booster Gold
It's fun to root for the underdog, even when he's full of himself and could really use a good beating. Odds are they'd make fast friends if they weren't such shameless self-promoters. Energy projectiles ftw!

Kano and Deathstroke (Slade)

If Batman and Sub-Zero can be considered similar, then all we need to connect Slade and Kano is a knowledge of martial arts and lack of binocular vision. They're both well-known and (relatively) down to Earth characters that would make a lot of sense. Our money's on Slade...
