[Request] Brainiac for DLC!

[Niko Mar]

I think someone like him should be reserved for Injustice 2 as like the main villian or just a bigger part of the game, not just a DLC character.

 

[DChero]

I don't see why anyone wants characters "saved" for Injustice 2. It's not like using him now means that he couldn't plausibly be part of the next roster. That's just ridiculous. By that reasoning we wouldn't see Batman, Superman, etc in the next installment.

 

[MetalPete]

Yes I would love to see Brainiac as DLC. One of the more powerful Superman villains this side of Doomsday and if he was included I would love his move-set to be a heavy striker with a couple ranged options. Brainiac is much more than "space lex" mixed with Zod and Cyborg...

 

[TJ Casters]

He is a popular and well known character, and I'm frankly surprised that people haven't been asking for him. I haven't noticed many villain requests at all.
And yes, I know: we already have 3 Superman villains in the game. But unlike most of the Bat characters, every one of the Superman villains has a unique power set.
Brainiac is an advanced 12th level intellect, with access to an arsenal of advanced weapons, including force fields, shrink rays, and various WMDs. He has a freaking cool spaceship shaped like a giant skull with destructive capabilities, which can be used in his super. His various incarnations range from a super computer to an advanced alien being, and in some incarnations he has tentacles which could give him a unique fighting style. For a superhero/villain game, Injustice is sorely lacking a robot type character, and I think Brainiac would be perfect for that role.

I like you.

BRAINIAC FOR INJUSTICE.

I would've rather have Brainiac over Lex but since we have Lex, Zod and Doomsday. I would save him for the sequel as the main bad guy with Darkseid. That would be sick and I wish they did that with this one.

 

[MetalPete]

Yeah I do agree that there needs to be a better story-arc than the whole multiverse thing...Unless we are talking about Infinite Crisis, probably one of the better multiverse collections.

So I suppose I could wait for Brainiac and Darkseid if they were part an elaborate story line.

 

[CHAINSAW305]

As for villains... There's Black Manta, King Shark, Poison Ivy, Azrael, Circe, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Felix Faust, Mongul, Atrocitus, Nero and Larfleeze. Professor Zoom too!... Although I really want Braniac and Darkseid. IMO I think they should be left for the sequel.

I think your assuming we're assuming that. I think because we already have some good Superman viilains. We don't need more. So therefore. Stick em in the next one plusssss make a great story out of it tooo. Get it!?!

 

[UnadvisedGoose]

Yeah I just don't see him being all that different from Lex, in terms of how his powers would work. Don't get me wrong, it could certainly be done, and probably done well. But I just don't have an interest in him over certain others. I'd much rather see an Aquaman and Flash villain before him. Or even a second Wonder Woman one(Circe, Cheetah). She's a member of the DC Trinity... It'd be nice if she were treated like one, in any medium.

It wasn't meant at anyone directly, it's just a phrase that I've seen come up. If it's about mixing up the characters, I completely understand that. This was just in reference to the phrase "saving for Injustice 2." I think about it like a movie. If a villain is used too early in a movie series, it can hurt the character. I took it closely to that.

I guess we're all in the dark about how many characters are left. I'm newer to fighting games (Injustice actually got me to buy MK9 because I started enjoying the genre so much). Is it typical to see DLC last this long?

 

[MetalPete]

DLC usually lasts about 4-8 characters depending on the size of the roster. Injustice could go for at least another 4 since the comic book lovers buy this game based on characters...pretty much why I love this game as much as do.

Thanks! That's what got me into it. I hadn't played a fighting game since the Dreamcast days, so I was surprised how much I enjoyed coming back to the genre.

Finally someone who knows of King Shark, that dude is a trip in the Suicide Squad.

Brainiac is far more than "Space Lex".

not in a fighting game he isn't.

KOOL! My apologies for taking you comment out of context. Yea I completely agree with the fact that characters from this Injustice will carry over to the next.

Actually when it comes to fighting games. Dlc characters come out rarely. Usually u get more costumes and that's it coz they usually just wait to come out with a version of the game with the dlc characters. NRS did well with the dlc they had for MK9 and I believe they are doing great with IGAU coz this game appealed to a much wider audience than just fighters. It appealed to D.C and Comic book fans alike. That can take the dlc to much farther places than usual. We could see more characters, costumes, sp content and stages... who knows!?! With this game u could go crazy with dlc.

Yea I would take him or Black Manta.

I wouldn't mind King Shark, he has some how become a favorite of mine. He constantly runs around babbling about meat and being hungry and then out of no where he will just say the most inteligibe things and the whole group just looks at hi like,"WTF whne did you learn to talk" .
