Midway: Flash To Engage In Mortal Kombat



If you're a PlayStation The Official Magazine subscriber, you already know that Flash will be joining the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe roster, along with an impressively chesty Sonya Blade. If not, well, there you go. The speedy champion of Central City is going to rep the DC side in Midway's upcoming brawler, bringing the confirmed list of DC heroes to three. How many others from the DC stable will appear?

We only know the rest of the line-up through vague descriptions from a separate source, such as Prototypical Super Hero, Mystical Super Hero, Amazon Queen, Sexy Villainness, Crazy Villain, and Military Superhero. Many of those aren't hard to figure out, but series creator Ed Boon says the full line-up has yet to be correctly guessed by fans.

Boon clears up a slew of misconceptions in a new Q&A with GameSpot, noting that DC villains will come equipped with the series trademark Fatalities, but that the good guys will just beat each other into a pulp. The PG-13-ing of Mortal Kombat somehow manages to break a little bit of my heart. Which will go on, by the way.

This reminds me of Marvel Vs. DC, the 200 somethin page comic book. Talk about bad ass

This game sounds god awful. Flash vs. Scorpion? That is such a mismatch. This game does not have me interested in the least.

I'm starting to warm to the game. With such low expectations and coming out of nowhere, I think it'll turn out to be a decent set of games.

I rather have Marvel vs. Capcom 3 dammit

Prototypical Super Hero, Mystical Super Hero, Amazon Queen, Sexy Villainness, Crazy Villain, and Military Superhero

Sounds like Dr Fate, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Joker and Green Lantern are going in there. No clue who is more of a prototypical superhero than Superman other than Captain Marvel.

Fatalites?

Almost makes it pointless to play as them unless thet at least have some kind of finisher, whether it's Wonder Woman tying them up and smashing them into the ground or Batman throwing explosive Batarangs at them then leaving a note for the police on top of their unconscious body.

It's been established that they're essentially being given Brutality-esque finishers.

Such a terrible idea, they should have done MK vs Capcom.
