Okay, I’m gonna level with you here: Atrocitus is pretty lame. Sadly, his trait is broken at the moment, but that shouldn’t stop you from winning matches on the back of his strong normal attacks. Aquaman utilizes his trident for long range strikes that can convert to big damage, and conjures a freaking monster shark during his super. The king of Atlantis was a strong contender in the first Injustice, and brings much of the same gameplay to the sequel. I’ve always been a Sub-Mariner kinda guy, but Aquaman is definitely underrated. Apart from Gorilla Grodd (more on him later), Captain Cold may be the most exciting character from a pure spectator position, and I hope more top players pick him up in the future.Īquaman is cool, okay? He’s being played by Khal Drogo in the upcoming Justice League movie, and doesn’t have a robot arm anymore. He has a multitude of ways to freeze opponents, setting up situations for highly damaging combos, and can even drop icicles and huge blocks of ice on his enemies from any distance. While his gameplay may frustrate players sick of taking on zoners like Deadshot, Captain Cold just looks so damn great. That said, Captain Cold is a cool cat otherwise, with a spiffy jacket and goggles to boot. Freeze’s unfortunate turn in the live-action Batman & Robin (sorry, Arnold), the Flash villain’s Injustice 2 appearance is rife with low-temperature puns. Let’s just get this out of the way: Captain Cold is kinda dorky.
So read on for my completely biased, unscientific Injustice 2 character rankings! You’ll find my five favorite and five least favorite picks below, and might learn something cool in the process. While it’s a bit too early to say if one or two stand above the rest in terms of competitive potential, that won’t stop me from ranking them on more arbitrary terms. Injustice 2, the dark take on the DC Comics universe from Mortal Kombat developers NetherRealm Studios, is out now, and I’ve spent the last week trying out every character in the huge roster to learn their strengths and weaknesses.
