Invincible's second season has wrapped and if you're not all caught up on what Atom Eve and the cast have been up to, don't panic, you'll find no spoilers here. You might find a few spoilers for plot points from season one though but since the first season ended almost three years ago, and you've clicked on an article based on a key moment from its finale, I'm assuming that won't be a problem. The brutal train scene from season one's epic finale has been turned into a Youtooz figure you can pre-order now.

Mortal Kombat 1 fans are extremely disappointed with the game's monetization, that much is undeniable.

All Mortal Kombat 1 characters have Brutalities — unique moves that end a match in a particularly brutal fashion. They’re triggered by doing an extra input command on top of a specific combo ender or move that wins the final round. Most of the characters in the game have six brutalities, but players are starting to discover hidden brutalities, too.

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.

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.

Ostensibly, the newest trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 is about Omni-Man, the first post-launch DLC fighter coming as part of the game’s Kombat Pack. There’s a ton of gameplay, including a longer look at his Fatality, which is inspired by the gruesome subway scene from Invincible in which many innocent train passengers are killed.

You’ll find the listing from Xbox in the tweet below, but in essence, the post on the official store page for the game on Xbox systems says that Omni-Man will be released on November 6th to those with “early access.” What precisely that means is up in the air, but regardless, we could be getting the Viltrumite warrior in the game sooner than expected. But before we go any further, it should be noted that NetherRealm Studios hasn’t confirmed this release date, and “leaks” like these have been misconstrued in the past.

Mortal Kombat 1 had been teasing, and not teasing, various things that they would show at New York Comic Con. Ed Boon himself deconfirmed several things that wouldn’t be shown at the convention, and many felt this meant we wouldn’t get any look at the upcoming DLC characters for the game via its first Kombat Pack. However, NetherRealm Studios DID show something from the Kombat Pack at the show: the first look at Omni-Man! His inclusion in the game had long been rumored before it was officially confirmed alongside other key DLC characters, and his “first look” trailer shows just how brutal things will get.

But NetherRealm really went all out with this one. First, due diligence—if you've not watched it yet, I'm going to run through some major spoilers for Invincible's first season.

Simmons himself).

The news that Homelander and Omni-Man would both be in Mortal Kombat 1 sparked a lot of excitement from fans. There's just one problem... they're both kind of similar, right?
