Midway's already got an uphill battle to face with their new Mortal Kombat title. No Fatalities? No gratuitous gallons of flowing blood? What about the gore? What about the carnage?! If we can't enjoy the pleasure of dismembering our favorite video game and comic book characters, the fighter selection and regular combat had better knock our socks off.
That said, here's 5 matchups we'd like to see in MK vs. DC... Make it happen, Midway!
5. Goro vs. Doomsday
Even a round of fatalities couldn't make 'em uglier.
Formerly one of the most difficult bosses in gaming history, Goro was undefeated in 900 years of Mortal Kombat. Doomsday, on the other hand, killed freakin' Superman (in the comics). Can a four-armed freak of nature beat something that killed the mightiest DC hero?
4. Kitana vs. Wonder Woman
The Edenian vs. The Amazon
This is one fight that could come down to the weapons. Can the Lasso of Truth overcome the dreaded (and super-cheap) Fan Toss & Lift? Both of these princesses won't back down from a fight...
3. Scorpion vs. Lobo
Get over here, ya bastich!
Both of these fighters are literally spawned from Hell itself (in fact, Hell eventually refused to keep Lobo), and they're seven different kinds of nasty. These badasses, with the right moves and powers, could easily be the favorites of the new MK game.
Let's run down the list. Lobo - Immortal? Check. Giant meat hook used to rip out his enemies' insides? Check. Allegiance to no man or god? Check. And then there's Scorpion... Immortal? Check. Bloody dart used to stab anyone and everyone? Check. Allegiance to no man or god? Check. Everyone else? Get the hell out of their way!
2. Sheeva vs. Big Barda
Where your boners go to get smashed into oblivion.
Big Barda, one of the New Gods, is actually dead in comic canon, but that's no reason DC shouldn't bring her back from the grave. As one of the Gods in the DC Universe, she's possibly the only woman big enough and bulked enough to take down the skull-crushing Sheeva. Brrr.
1. Onaga vs. Batman
We say Batman wins.
C'mon, he's Batman! Sure, Onaga may have super strength, magical protection, and a huge wingspan, but the Dark Knight's got about 100 different gadgets in his utility belt. We're sure that if fatalities were allowed, there'd be more than a few Bat-Grenades shoved where the sun don't shine.
