Injustice 2 – Legendary Edition is the latest upcoming version of the beloved game, and
it’s blown our minds.
Named the Fighting Game of the Year at the 21st DICE Awards and The Game Awards 2017,
this larger than life story continues and expands on where the previous Injustice left
off, diving not only further into the epic narrative, but also into new gameplay mechanics,
including customization that really sets your Super Hero or Super villain apart in multiple
game modes.
In addition to their already massive roster of characters, featuring icons like Superman,
Batman and Wonder Woman, Legendary Edition comes with 10 awesome DLC characters that
you may or may not have had the chance to test out.
And trust us, they’re pretty darn cool.
While we adore all the new characters and love playing them, we put them in order of
our favourites – which was no easy feat.
And just a shout out to WB who were kind enough to hook us up with this sponsored video.
So without further ado, here’s our picks for the Top 10 Injustice 2: Legendary Edition
Characters.
10 Darkseid Darkseid has an arsenal of impressive moves
that would make any superhero shake in their boots.
It’s easy to see why he’s a power type character - from Omega Beams, Palm Blast,
the use of a Boom Tube, and his Air Doom Stomp – performed while in the air – Darkseid
is not a character to take lightly in battle.
If you’re the kind of player who likes to keep your opponents within a certain zone
in order to effectively dish out your best attacks, Darkseid will definitely be up your
alley.
9 Red Hood Jason Todd has been a fan favourite for years.
With one of the most dynamic histories in the DC universe, the character was killed
by the Joker in the comics when he was Robin, only to be resurrected years later.
He began operating under the mantle of Red Hood, and started a rather lethal war on crime
that exceeded the kinds of acts his predecessor, Batman, would never dare do.
Needless to say, fans love his reckless and ruthless nature, and his character in Injustice
2 does him justice.
8 Black Manta
Another super villain on our list, Black Manta has an awesome character power that, if used
correctly, is absolutely deadly.
His flight allows him to remain in the air for as long as his power is active, which
can be used to extend various combos, use specific specials and avoid opponent’s attacks.
The character relies heavily on his flight power to mess around with his opponents, so
you’re definitely going to want to make sure you know how to use the full extent of
his power.
Which, luckily, Legendary Edition has equipped you for.
One of the new features available is a new tutorial mode that teaches you how to specifically
play with your character, so that you can jump right into the online multiplayer with
your friends seamlessly.
7 Raiden You know what’s cool?
Fighting as Mortal Kombat’s Raiden against DC’s mightiest.
Injustice 2 lets you DO THAT.
The game was built by NetherRealm Studios, the developers of the best-selling and critically
acclaimed Mortal Kombat franchise.
They’re the best when it comes to crafting spectacular fighting mechanics mixed with
robust storytelling, and Injustice 2 is no exception.
Enter Raiden, the ‘true god of thunder’ and the protector of earthrealm.
And he packs exactly the kind of electrifying punches you’d expect.
He’s also got a special that will leave a smile on any mortal kombat fan’s face.
6 Enchantress While Enchantress may have only become more
mainstream with the release of the Suicide Squad film, there’s no doubt in our minds
that her appearance in Injustice 2 will make her a new fan favourite.
She’s a really dynamic and diverse character, and her moves are of a unique variety – she’s
got her hypnotic spell, which puts her opponent in a trance and lures them to her.
Her Demon’s dissolve, which allows her to absorb projectiles causing them to reappear
behind her opponent.
And lastly, her super move, called Out of Body experience, which lets her jump into
the air and release a short spark of energy at her foe, staggering them.
THEN she creates vortex that surrounds both her and her opponent, and takes control of
their soul, causing it to give them a serious beat down, and eventually leads into her turning
their soul into an energy ball that explodes and causes major damage.
5 Atom For you science geeks out there, Atom is the
perfect character for you.
Ryan Choi is a physics prodigy and picked up the mantle of the Atom after his mentor,
original Atom Ray Palmer, mysteriously disappeared.
He uses quantum shrinking technology and the subatomic power of the quantum bio belt to
seek out Palmer and fight for justice.
His moves are incredibly fitting.
His Catalyst Chaos move throws a potion on the ground which explodes and hits low, his
Defying Gravity causes him to slow his fall speed when he’s up in the air, and his Atom
Bomb allows him to jump into the air and come back down with a damaging stomp.
Once he’s done this, there are three outcomes this move can have.
But his coolest move by far is his Experiment X525 – Atom drops a potion on the ground,
creating a fog.
The first turns the gas green and enhances your Catalyst Chaos special, which causes
damage over time to your foe.
The second will turn the gas blue and creates a small projectile that crawls across the
ground.
And the last turns the gas red.
Creating a massive explosion that shoots upwards in the air.
4 Starfire The Tamarian Teen Titan finally made an appearance
in the Injustice universe, and it’s been well worth the wait.
The character has an arsenal of smartly named moves, and is one of the biggest female forces
in the game to be reckoned with.
In addition to that, her barrage attack at the beginning of her Super Move is a nod to
the teen titans animated series and it’s intro sequence.
Plus, her character’s ending with the other Teen Titans?
Well, I don’t want to spoil it for you, but it involves pizza, nostalgia and a mustard
reference, so it’s pretty swell.
3 Sub-Zero Sub-Zero is arguably one of the most legendary
fighters in the Mortal Kombat franchise.
And just like Raiden, you can play him in Injustice 2 now!
Seems fitting.
Sub-Zero has some familiar tactics – his moves consist of an Ice Burst that creates
an explosion and pushes your opponent back.
A Polar Puncture, where Sub-Zero grabs his opponent and stabs them multiple times with
an ice knife, leaving them frozen.
And a long range favourite, his Ice Ball move, that hits and freezes your foe from a distance.
He’s also got an awesome Frost Hammer, but we’ll let you see what that one does yourself.
2 Hellboy From game legend to comic icon, our next number
is Hellboy.
And just by looking at him in Injustice 2, you can tell he’s one epic character to
play.
For starters, the half demon half human character not only wields his notorious revolvers and
typical Hellboy sense of humour we all adore, but he also has some mindblowing specials,
including one that brings out his inner demon and busts out his full grown horns.
Plus, who wouldn’t want to throw a few punches as the right hand of doom?
1 TMNT I don’t know about you guys, but I’m seriously
geeking out right now.
The Ninja Turtles up against my favourite heroes and villains in the DC Universe?
Yeah, I’m super into that.
Legendary Edition allows you to play as DLC characters Donatello, Leonardo, Michaelangelo
and Raphael in one of the best video game adaptations of the pizza loving amphibian
ninjas.
Combine them with the customization features Legendary Edition offers and oh boy, dreams
DO COME TRUE.
There we have it friends!
Which is your favourite?

Green Lantern, Grid and Black Lightning.
