The magnum opus game from Warner Bros. has been teased, and no, it is not Gotham Knights. The trailer of the MultiVersus had the fans excited and has created a buzz among the nostalgic bugs, and the closed alpha helped strengthen interest in the game.
Characters like Arya Stark, Shaggy, Batman, Bugs, Taz, Superman, and the Iron Giant all make an appearance to showcase what they can do in a battle. But WB's list of characters is more than just them, and one can be assured that MultiVersus' roster is bound to expand with future updates and DLCs.
8 Betelgeuse: Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice is the brainchild of the visionary filmmaker extraordinaire Tim Burton. The 1988 horror fantasy movie has a cult status and is one of Micheal Keaton's best projects. Even today, the film and the character hold up on their own, so why not?
Betelgeuse's perverted mind, with quirky dialogues, can make good in-fighting comments, while his ability to shapeshift and do horrific things with his body can help him stand against the other mighty foes in the arena. His addition to MultiVersus' character list would also give a bit of a different experience for the players to have fun with.
7 Dexter & Mandark: Dexter's Laboratory
Born science prodigy Dexter and Mandark could be a valuable addition to the game. Featured in Genndy Tartakovsky's Sci-Fi animation series Dexter's Laboratory, the bitter rivalry for the number one spot for being the school genius serves the right kind of backdrop for character traits in the game.
Both Dexter and Mandark have their own labs set up, and their inborn genius lets them build anything from a mini laser pistol to a dodgeball exoskeleton. Such skill comes in handy in an arena while challenging foes like Supes and Bats.
6 Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup: The Powerpuff Girls
One more entry from the Cartoon Network universe. Made from Sugar, Spice, and everything nice, The Powerpuff Girls were puffed up by an accidental ingredient, "Chemical X", while Professor Utonium planned to create himself perfect triplets for daughters.
The Kindergarten Supergirls have had their own share of saving the day and are the "City of Townsville" guardians. They have fought rivals ranging from a mad science monkey to the devil HIMself (pun intended). So one would believe it was time for Blossoms, Bubbles, and Buttercup to face an even stronger roster of opponents in a much more fierce arena.
5 Character Set: Harry Potter
When the teaser for the MultiVersus dropped, it was a surprise that it had nothing to do with the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The movie series was one of the most significant pop-culture phenomena in the late '90s and the early 2000s, and an entire generation grew up with those characters.
Adding a bit of magic to the pool of superheroes and cartoons could work wonders. But, of course, the developers must apply a specific condition to ensure that the forbidden curses are not in use by the characters from the magic world, just to make the fights fair.
4 Rick & Morty : Rick & Morty
Since the crazy grandpa-grandson duo made their debut, the world has not been the same. This might be a hard sell, but one cannot deny that Rick and Morty have gathered cult status in the cartoon world.
Every episode has been an adventure and experiments with space and time (literally), bending all the known rules to mankind. In a way, they started the multiverse even before the cinematic versions of Marvel and DC. Choosing Rick to shoot his portal gun to send Supes back to a universe where Krypton is still stable and never having him come back would be a super cool finishing move.
If a recent leak proves to be true, Rick and Morty could be on the way.
3 Neo: The Matrix
Judging from MultiVersus' teaser, the characters are teleported to the open cliffs of the arena. One could only regard the location as a WB-built matrix to test the strengths of the iconic characters. It might sound vaguely familiar to a blockbuster trend-changing movie franchise, and it would be a sin not to involve the characters in an idea based on their plot.
Neo and Trinity were game changers in the movie industry, and they are superheroes on their own terms. They can bend and manipulate The Matrix, and considering the arena might be one, the possibilities that the duo can do are exciting!
2 The Mask: The Mask
If Betelgeuse is the extreme right of goofiness, The Mask has to be the left. The prankster is good enough to be in the game, be it the animated version or Jim Carey's live-action iteration.
The Green face spinning twister has an array of unique moves to work with. From being an infinite character roster by himself to his inflating booty, The Mask is sure to make the game more 'jaw dropping'. Considering him to be more like the Pokemon Ditto, players can replicate the opposition's moves sets and beat them at their own game!
1 Samurai Jack & Aku: Samurai Jack
One of the best things about Samurai Jack is its plot and the array of characters Jack meets through his journey. To take down the demon Aku, Jack was trained in the ways of the samurai and much more.
He doesn't have superpowers or the aid of magic, but his strategic prowess is as good as the caped crusader. On the other hand, Aku can shapeshift and do many weird things with his different forms. The addition of these two characters would do a good dose of fan service and add some spice to the game.
MultiVersus is expected to launch in 2022 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
