Will Power Girl Be in Injustice?

Shoot them. Shoot them all.
RunwayMafia Wasn't really nerdgasming XD, just trying to think some creative ideas, she has potential to be a cool fighter. This is why people get into the gaming or film industry, everything has potential for you to be creative. The only limit is ones imagination.
Very true. I'm not even that big of a fan of Ivy's, I just get excited at WHAT potentially they could do with her. Plus this game needs more villainous females...

Did it all the time on a Godzilla forum, coming up with movesets in a game for every monster and how they'd use their powers in a way that fits their personality that wouldn't be possible on film cause suit limitations.

So true. I'd have preferred her to be in Harley's place. And I'd still like to see Cheetah and/or Circe. It's a shame there aren't more iconic DC villainess' that we could use. A Star Sapphire/Fatality....?

Hope to god Power Girl or Super Girl don't make it in as DLC. So many better Heroine choices:

Zatanna
Black Canary
Starfire
Donna Troy
Fire
Huntress
Lady Shiva

And there there are also the Male Heroes:

Beast Boy
Red Tornado
Static Shock
Blue Beetle
Etrigan The Demon
Doctor Fate
Swamp Thing

Why should Power Girl or Super Girl be in over these characters?

Explain what makes any of those female characters "better"? Because YOU like them better? Seriously, what makes them better? Do you need someone to seriously explain for every character why powergirl/supergirl is a better or equal choice to be in the game? Would that even change you mind? Huntress...really? Is that a troll?

Oh, and to all the people saying Poison Ivy should get in the game over PowerGirl/SuperGirl; I want her in the game too. The problem with that, there are already too many Batman characters in the game (seriously, how Batgirl got in over Poison Ivy is still upsetting to me) and there is a solid chance freaking more still are coming (people really want Red Hood in the game...yeah, I don't get it either).

too smart to play MKX
As far as I'm concerned: after Batgirl and Zod, I've had my fill of clone power characters made unique ONLY because some bullshit contrivance was added to their design. Batgirl's failpinchers and Zod's WTF guns. The existence of this nonsense goes only to show how truly not unique the characters are in terms of being on a fighter roster.

So when people are like OMFG POWER/SUPERGIRL, yeah, they should be fully prepared to explain why they want to clog the roster with contrived clone characters and not a character that's unique on their own.

This is normally where somebody brings up the Lanterns, presumably because they were terrible at connect-the-dots games as kids. Spare me if you're too derped out to see the difference.

Play Monster Hunter!
I'm all for Power Girl.

NRS really shit the bed with Superman, and I want proper fun representation of a Kryptonian in the game, so PG or SG are good.

Zod doesn't really count since he uses guns and his pet monster more then anything.

There's a pornstar who goes by the name "Siri." She has a video floating around on various pornotubes of her dressed as Powergirl and stripping while berating you for being a disgusting nerd with a small weiner who only reads her comics for the tits.

If people were to simply do a quick search for that video, I believe it would remove a fair bit of demand for this awful character.


Just sayin'.
that bitch is nasty........

I'm gonna make this skill gap... disappear.
I think they should get away from using characters that are really similar to characters that already exist in terms of skill set (Power Girl = Superman). Yes, they have done a good job with redesigning characters that meet that criteria in the past, but people like Dr. Fate and Black Canary are completely fresh concepts. Even similarly styled characters (Green Lantern -> Atrocitus, Larfleeze, etc) make more sense that someone like Power Girl because, while they are power-ring users belonging to a lantern corps, the nature of their power's is entirely different (vis-a-vis, Sinestro interesting/brutal constructs vs Green Lanterns arsenal). Power Girl is just a female version of Superman... that's about it. Make a skin with a re-done voice like the did with the John Stewart skin and keep the remaining DLC slots as fresh and different as possible. Martian Manhunter just came out amazing and very much his own style. Let's get more like that.

Beautifully and eloquently said, sir.

And for those that say "I want her. I like her," I don't have any hard feelings towards you. I don't understand you in the slightest, but that's whatever.

Other characters have just as much mainstream exposure, just as much of a standing in the fictional universe, BUT have different powerset and/or one that is more unique and easily differentiated from others. THOSE are the characters that people say "deserve it" more, and it's hard to argue against that logic.

EDIT: Also, this the EXACT argument that took place about Batgirl, so who the hell knows.

Well his eyebrows did survive Kratos, Freddy, and Scorpion....
Boon didn't get as much hate for Kratos and Freddy. For one thing, those two aren't fighting game characters. Hell that was the first time you could ever play as Freddy in a video game. MK9 wasn't the first of it's franchise and was a reboot of the first three games. Each character from that timeline was already in along with a few extras. They pretty much had their bases covered with that game. And Kratos was just a bonus console exclusive character that had no involvement with the storyline.

However there was a lot of backlash from at least half the Injustice fanbase Scorpion's inclusion due to the fact that already he's been in several fighting games of his own and to put him in over characters that actually belong in this universe was just unnecessary. Characters that have never been in a fighting game before and have potential.

I see your point, but you have to admit JIm Lee's redesign of the character's appearence is preety damn cool and an intresting twit on the character. I would hope that when they do make MK10 they recieve some more designs form the DC folks for their characters. NRS' own take on the characters in DC was well done as well.

You will serve me in The Netherrealm
Uhm...ok? I don't see the point for this, since he answered/retweeted 2 Zatanna tweets yesterday. So lets say ZATANNA is CONFIRMED (not really)!!!!
Don't read the article then, jack ass.
Powergirl players will play the game a week for tits, then drop it. Give us some more refined characters. Like Zatanna or Black Canary, you know, characters not known for their breasts.
Power Girl is actually known for a lot. She's an exceptional character in terms of well-roundedness, if you know anything at all about actual comics.

Cars have hoods. Some cars are red. Some cars have Red Hoods... Red Hood is most likely next.
You might be reading to much in there, but good analysis. I'm trying to decipher what they eman by the cars. A good theory is the Cars have a song called Magic, could be Ztanna, then there is the video. WTF is Boon doing.
