Mortal Kombat and Invincible fans are finally rejoicing how well the Omni-Man character has been adapted for Mortal Kombat 1. Post months of speculation, leaks, and anticipation for NetherRealm to tell fans when Omni-Man would be joining the Mortal Kombat 1 roster, players finally got the first in-game look at him yesterday.
At New York Comic-Con, the developers released a trailer showcasing Omni-Man’s first look. However, it is difficult to get a good grasp of his moves in the trailer since it seems to be fast-paced. However, players did get to see both of his Fatalities, which were leaked last week, as well as got to see him interact with some of the Mortal Kombat cast.
The recently released Mortal Kombat 1 official Omni-Man trailer gave players a chance to see how Omni-Man’s design has been translated to 3D. It is something that some fans have been concerned about since he was first announced.
Just like a superhero in spandex, Omni-Man has always had a respectable hulky appearance however Mortal Kombat 1 takes things to another level. Omni-Man’s first gameplay trailer sees the alien superhero beating Scorpion and Liu Kang in gruesome ways. And gruesome ways are those which will be familiar to anyone who’s watched Invincible’s goriest moments.
The Omni-Man’s debut trailer also gives players a first look at Tremor, the earth-elemental ninja who made a franchise debut in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces. Tremor was last available to be played in Mortal Kombat X. In Mortal Kombat 1, Tremor will appear as a Kameo Fighter.
Who voices Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1?
Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1 will be voiced by JK Simmons. Several fans were worried that Omni Man’s familiar voice would be replaced by another voice actor instead of Simmons. However, it was reported that the franchise co-creator Ed Boon confirmed that Simmons would voice the video game version of Omni Man too.
