So this is like a discount Superman with a Mario 'stache, right?

Well, MKs 9 thru 11 already did all the most iconic characters so I suppose there's not that many places for them left to go...

It's more a really violent alien that took the form of an old man.

Also I thought people were elated on his source show, "Invincible", getting a 2nd season soonish. Plus we're also slated to get Homelander from The Boys and John Cena Peacemaker. Not sure on the latter's prevalence, but the former's super fuckin prevalent.

And then we get Quan Chi and Ermac later. I guess Takeda for the Kombat Kids fans in attendance.

Yeah it's just the usual goon hatin', don't pay it much mind

For those not entirely in the know, the only thing Omni Man has in relation to Superman abilities-wise is the usual strong/tough combo (amped up to the extremes) and Can Fly Fast. He doesn't do ice breath, x-ray vision, eye lasers, no special rock that weakens him or anything. He's not really a "Superman" analogue, more of a "Model Golden-Age Generic Superhero". He does look sick, lots of cool teleport sideswitch combos even in the air, and the UI Goku dodges are tight. Tremor also looking really good.

Homelander is the closer Evil Superman Guy, I wonder if he's going to play close to how Injustice Superman plays. I can't wait for Peacemaker if only for the pre-fight banter lol

To yolo rolls! The cause and solution to all problems!
Is Omni Man bullet proof? I liked the show, but can't remember. A moot point when he overpowers anyone with a gun too.

Yeah Omniman's got the old school "Can shrug of mostly anything that isn't being punched by someone about as strong as I am", outside of like insanely advanced space lasers and poo poo. It's mostly the skin, it's like armor protecting the insides. In the comic, Robot kills a Viltrumite by shooting a bomb down his throat and blowing him up from the inside

One little plot point I liked in the comics was that as mild-mannered Nolan Grayson, his day job was writing travel books, but he did briefly try writing science fiction. The events in those books were based on his own experiences, so Mark had to read them to decipher any weaknesses to use against the Viltrumites.

Omni-Man is literally a Saiyan from Dragonball Z pretending to be Superman. That's basically the entire joke.

It's the same warbly, phasey transients they've had ever since Boom Library collaborated with them directly for MKX. For better and worse, that's the sound of AAA games nowadays

This. Almost everyone is playing him and it's even worse on PC cause his damage scaling is wrong so he does anywhere from 5-15% more than he should.

I hope Kombat Pack 2 adds some Kool Karakters like Lrr from the planet Omicron Persei 8, and Superking who has all the powers of a real king.

I would also accept Drive guy, Hobo with a Shotgun, Ernie from Inside the NBA
