We already know that Morty will join popular platform fighter MultiVersus’ roster from 23rd August, but as teased overnight, two further additions will arrive during Season 1. Judging by leaked promotional artwork, these new challengers will include DC Comics antihero Black Adam and Gremlins villain Stripe. Bit of a baddie vibe, then!
Black Adam is, of course, getting a live action movie starring The Rock later this year – although his default outfit looks to be more inspired by the comic books than Dwayne Johnson. We wouldn’t be surprised if the character got some kind of Variant to give him the appearance of the ex-WWE wrestler at some point.

Stripe, meanwhile, is arguably the most famous Gremlin outside of Gizmo. He’s the main antagonist from the original 1984 movie Gremlins, but did also feature in its 1990 sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. A new animated series, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, is set to debut in 2023 – assuming Warner Bros doesn’t pull the plug on production.
These seem like good additions to the roster to us. While we were hoping for Harry Potter and Gandalf a little earlier, we’re confident they’re still coming. At least three new characters in Season 1 alone is impressive, though, and we’re looking forward to learning more about these newcomers and their unique playstyles.

Stripe will be fun, although not sure how he'll deal with the daylight in most maps. Velma's flashlight attack going to be deadly!
Whelp, so much for teasing new characters on the log-in screen.
So it’s going to be like Fortnite in that every skin/character is an advert 😂
Company wide synergy lol
@nessisonett I mean most guest characters in fighting games get added because they have something to plug. Even Multiversus's starting roster is like that, Harley Quinn and Velma have animated shows out etc.
Just when I thought I was done with this game, they go and add Stripe from the Gremlins movies. Hope they add a Gizmo style too (with his little Rambo bandanna) 😁
I'm so getting Stripe
I’m pretty sure Gizmo’s coming too, he had some voicelines leaked a couple months back
@AdamNovice Not necessarily, Mortal Kombat’s recent ones have all been from mostly dormant horror franchises or at least ones past their prime.
Where's Walter White? D:
Walter White, Jotaro Kujo (with all the other Jojo’s as costumes), and everyone @RoyalBlues mentioned. The fans would go insane, and I honestly wouldn’t put it past them to put those characters in it.
@nessisonett That's true though Mortal Kombat would have a far bigger budget then any other fighting game to get nearly every character they wanted. Even then characters like The Terminator and Joker were added were likely included because they had movies coming out.
"The hierarchy of power in Multiversus is about to change."
Cool, the game could use more villains.
@GagaOooLaLa
Done with the game? The game is just getting started.
Give us Ben 10, damn it
Stripe makes sense, since they have that upcoming animated series in 2023.
