Mortal Kombat 1 just added JK Simmons' Omni-Man to the game so players are turning him into J. Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man and making Yuri Lowenthal's Smoke look like Spider-Man while making the two duke it out.

Mortal Kombat 1 now has its first DLC character, Omni-Man from the Invincible series, and players have already discovered he’s equal parts broken and hilarious.
It’s early days of course, but already the community has declared Omni-Man an extremely powerful character. So he should be, right? It’s Omni-Man after all. He’s meant to be one of the most powerful beings around! But in a fighting game you want a decent balance across the roster of playable characters, and Omni-Man is perhaps a little overpowered for his own good.
A lot of his damage potential comes from using incredible speed to punish his opponent, even from a projectile, and his ability to dodge attacks. The timing can be tight, but in the right hands Omni-Man is clearly a beast. He’s particularly devastating with air combos, too, as Omni-Man can dash behind his opponent in the air multiple times to keep combos going.

These players don't want to pay for skins that could previously be earned through gameplay.
Mortal Kombat 1 fans are extremely disappointed with the game's monetization, that much is undeniable. After getting angry at paid seasonal fatalities, overpriced highly-requested skins, and the premium store's rotation system, fans have now turned their anger towards the voice announcer pack for Omni-Man, with many just realizing the item is a separate purchase and isn't included for those that purchased the first Kombat Pack.
Mortal Kombat has been such a massive franchise over the years, and it’s also known for featuring several different crossovers. Plenty of IPs get represented in the game, and it’s never known what character might pop up next. When NetherRealm Studios unveiled Mortal Kombat 1 , fans were likely speculating which guest characters could show up in this installment. Today, we’re finding out that the co-creator of Mortal Kombat , Ed Boon, was at one time an attempt to get a crossover with The Walking Dead .
One of Mortal Kombat 1’s big draws is Invasions mode, a seasonal activity where players can battle remixed kombatants and powerful bosses to unlock a bunch of in-game goodies. Your opponents in MK1’s Invasions have all kinds of special powers, and some of them can feel downright unfair. Developer NetherRealm Studios tries to balance Invasions’ challenge by giving players some superpowers of their own. One of the most deadly, but certainly not silent, is an ability called Windbreaker that lets fighters pass a toxic green gas.
Omni-Man has four Brutalities in Mortal Kombat 1 - The Thinker, where he pummels enemies with his fist until their skull shatters; Behind You!, where he spins their head around; Coming Through, where he dashes through them and they explode into a miasma of guts and gore; You Got Boned!, in which he grabs them by the foot and smashes them against the ground until their head explodes, and The Klassic, a decapitating uppercut.
NetherRealm Studios recently dropped the official trailer for Mortal Kombat 1's Invasions Season 2, titled Season of the Blood Moon.
The microtransactions of Mortal Kombat 1 have once again been thrust into the spotlight.
Mortal Kombat 1’s aggressive monetisation has once again come under fire from players after Nintendo spilled the beans on the standalone price of the Omni-Man DLC character.
Invincible's titular hero might not be playable in Mortal Kombat 1, but his dad at least has the option to cosplay as him thanks to an unlockable colour scheme that resembles Mark's iconic first outfit.
Warner Bros. has attempted to placate angry Mortal Kombat 1 players with two 'free' Fatalities following an outcry caused by the decision to introduce a $10 USD Fatality animation to the game's already heavily criticised premium store.
Invincible fans really aren't happy about one of Omni-Man's interactions with Sindel in Mortal Kombat 1 where he says that he's going to turn her, Mileena, and Kitana into his "pets".
