During New York Comic-Con 2023, various pop culture projects are making announcements. Today, for Mortal Kombat 1, we have selected this event to reveal the gameplay trailer of Omni-Man, an iconic character set to appear in DLC. A powerful figure from the Invincible series, he displays his intensity and aggression towards the heroes of Mortal Kombat. Essentially a Superman without empathy or compassion, Omni-Man eliminates anyone who poses a threat to him. We will see familiar scenes from the Invincible series manifest as Fatalities, including the subway massacre and the execution of Red Rush, where his head collapses under Omni-Man’s relentless force. Enjoy the trailer, but be advised that it contains graphic content.
