The 1st Injustice game is definitely the biggest "superhero fighter" that came out after UMvC3, and its character roster is full of old and new favorites, as well as quite a few surprises!
Character Selection Screen, Injustice: Gods Among Us
To be honest, even though I find Marvel's overall cast to be way more interesting than DC Universe, NetherRealm Studios has managed to give true life to all the characters, translating a ton of their special powers into unique fighting mechanics.
The roster could be considered a bit thin, with "just" 30 characters to choose from, so unless you're a huge fan, I'd definitely suggest you go straight for Injustice 2!
But without further ado, let's take a closer look at the full roster of Injustice: Gods Among Us!
