Midway has been pretty careful about only revealing characters for the upcoming Mortal Kombat Vs. DC when they want, but now it looks like the whole roster has been leaked thanks to their achievements. The list of achievements has appeared on Xbox360Achievements.org, but the most damning evidence of their authenticity comes from the exact same listing on Xbox.com. Apparently, you get an achievement for completing each character’s “expert combos,” meaning the achievements just flat out give you each characters, even the unlockable ones. So without further ado, here’s the (most likely) character list for MK vs. DC:
Baraka
Batman
Catwoman
Darkseid
Deathstroke
Flash
Green Lantern
Jax
Joker
Kano
Kitana
Lex Luthor
Liu Kang
Raiden
Scorpion
Shang Tsung
Shao Khan
Shazam
Sonya
Sub Zero
Superman
Wonderwoman
According to the achievement list, Darkseid and Shao Kahn both have to be unlocked. There is one odd omission though, since Midway has mentioned that comic book writer, Jimmy Palmiotti, was also being put in the game as a fighter. Still, that’s a fairly complete list of the main players in the Mortal Kombat and DC universe’s. I’m still wondering just how Lex Luthor is going to work as a fighter though.
UPDATE: Midway has now sent along a press release confirming this as the full list. Score one for the internet rumor mill.

Golden age Superman yeah, he was pretty much omnipotent. Silver age Superman (ie. modern) not so much.

Actually Silver Age supers was pretty untouchable before the end in the John Byrne revamp in the 90′s at the beginning of the current Iron Age of comics. The post-revamp Byrne Supes could barely lift an armored truck, couldn’t fly at the speed of light, etc. but he’s slowly crept back up there in power levels after two or three more revamp attempts.

The official explanation mentioned that the MK realm is a magic one, so Superman, whose weakness is ALSO magic, shouldn’t have his full powers.
Anyway, a more pressing matter. NO NOOB SAIBOT??!?!?!?!
