Simmons will reprise his role for Omni-Man, voicing the character in MK1 “so it’s as authentic as it’s going to be,” Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon said in an interview at SDCC 2023 this weekend. Homelander will be based on actor Antony Starr’s appearance in The Boys television series, while Peacemaker will be based on John Cena’s look from the Max series created by James Gunn. The developers of Mortal Kombat 1 revealed a sneak peek at the Kombat Pack lineup at San Diego Comic-Con, where other characters were confirmed for the fighting game: Tanya, Li Mei, Baraka, Darrius, and Khameleon. Those characters will be joined by Mortal Kombat veterans Quan Chi, Ermac, and Takeda. NetherRealm Studios finally made it official on Friday: Homelander from The Boys, Peacemaker from the DC Universe, and Omni-Man from Invincible will appear as guest characters in Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the game’s first Kombat Pack DLC.
