|
Captain Marvel: Catwoman's right. I know what we're up against. Our enemy is called Dark Kahn. |
|
- Stuff Blowing Up: His Surprise Bomb special.
- Took a Level In Badass: Thanks to the whole power fluctancy product of the mere existence of Dark Kahn, he's now able to fight people like Superman and even best his own arch-rival Batman.
- After fighting Sonya in his chapter:
|
The Joker: I won? I won? I WON! I mean, OF COURSE I WON! |
|
- Before fighting Kano:
|

|

|
"I prefer to shake hands, but if you insist..." |

- Expy: His gameplay style is reminiscent of Sektor. His armor in this game is even comparable to that of Sektor's in Mortal Kombat 9!
- Hammerspace: His missiles come out of his hand, but he has tons of them.
- Homing Projectile: One of his specials involve shooting a missile upwards and said missile locking on his opponent.
- Mighty Glacier
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: HE, of all characters, blames Superman for everything that's happened, in the beginnng of the last chapter:

|
- Hypocrite: And it's outright stated in the first and fifth chapter that Luthor assisted Darkseid's invasion and kicked off the plot to begin with.

Superman[]
|
Voiced by: Christopher Corey Smith |
|
- A Day in the Limelight: He's the protagonist of chapter 8 of the DC side.
- Enemy Mine: Teams up with Raiden to defeat Dark Kahn during his/Raiden's chapter.
- Eye Beams
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: He can levitate for some seconds, but aside of this, his flying abilities can be seen only in cutscenes.
- Ground Pound: The eponymous "Ground Pound" Heroic Brutality.
- Homage/ Shout-Out: He looks a lot like Christopher Reeve.
- The Narrator: He's on charge of the narration in the beginning of the DC side of the story.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Pretty much the whole crossover wouldn't have happened, hadn't he overcharged with his Eye Beams the Boomtube Darkseid was using to escape.
|
Darkseid: You're unstabilizing the boomtube! |
|
- Ryu and Ken: For Captain Marvel, with a few differences.
- Skyward Scream: After he gets lectured by Batman, while he discharges the rage inside of him.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork:
|
"OK, Lex, I'll trust you... for now." |
|
- Weaksauce Weakness: In addition to his well-known weakness to Kryptonite, he also has a weakness to magic. Since a part of the fusion of both universes is fueled by magic (originated from the MK side), this serves as a Hand Wave as to why the Badass Normals can fight him on equal footing.

|
|
Voiced by: PJ Mattson |
|
- Absolute Cleavage
- Badass Normal
- Blood Knight: It's a Fighting Game after all.

|
- Composite Character: She is meant to be Selina Kyle, but has characteristics of several other "Catwomen" as well. She has a purple version of the costume the comic book Selina Kyle currently wears, but her skin is a little darker than usual and her facial features look almost like Halle Berry, and she also speaks in a manner very similar to Eartha Kitt.

- Deadpan Snarker:
|
The Joker: We're all going to hell! |

|
- Whip It Good: Also involved in her "Neck Breaker" Fatality.

Voiced by: Patrick Seitz |

|
- Cool Mask
- Combat Pragmatist
- Creepy Monotone
- Katanas Are Better

Dark Kahn[]
|
"Through MORTAL KOMBAT I will conquer ALL!!!" |
|
|
Voiced by: Perry Brown and Patrick Seitz |
|
|
The Big Bad of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. He's the fusion of Shao Kahn and Darkseid, who were thrown to an interdimensional portal and a boomtube at the same time and place in space. |
|
- A Day in the Limelight: The "Beginnings" comicbook focuses on him, to the point of him being the only one who talks anything.
- Big Bad
- Composite Character: Has Shao Kahn and Darkseid's powers. It's also reflected on who's voicing him, as Seitz (the voice of Deathstroke) is also the voice of Shao Kahn.
- Guttural Growler
- Hate Plague: Spread by his mere existence, to increase his power, and serves as the main justification of why both universes' characters are beating the tar out of each other.
- Humanoid Abomination
- Literally Shattered Lives: If you manage to defeat him.
- Original Generation
- Power Echoes
- Power Glows
- SNK Boss
- Spikes of Villainy: On his back.

"Face each other, or face me, it makes no difference. You! WILL!! FIIIIIIIIGHT!!!" |
|
