Hellboy to Make an Appearance In Injustice 2: Fighter Pack 2

Posted by at 2:38 pm on August 25, 2017

In May, NetherRealm Studios revealed the identities of two upcoming fighters for Injustice 2. Mortal Kombat‘s Raiden and Aquaman’s nemesis, Black Manta, were simply pretty easily identified. At Gamescom, the company has unveiled a very surprising choice for the third character in the upcoming Fighter Pack 2: Mike Mignola’s Hellboy.

The announcement video clearly treats Hellboy’s appearance as the major reveal. Unlike the other comic book heroes and villains in this game, Hellboy is not owned by DC Comics. Instead, Hellboy is Mignola’s creator-owned character whose exploits as “the world’s greatest paranormal investigator” have been published by Dark Horse Comics for almost 25 years.

Although there are still many DC characters that we’d love to see in the game, this will be the very first time in any medium that Hellboy has officially encountered Superman, Wonder Woman, and the majority of the DC Universe. Hellboy has previously crossed over with Batman in the comics, so it’s not entirely without precedent.
