From bloody fatalities to grand visual spectacle, the Mortal Kombat franchise has always enthralled gamers with its unique blend of unapologetically brutal combat and surprisingly meticulous character development. The upcoming entry, Mortal Kombat 1, is not an exception.
The rich lineage of Mortal Kombat games has always been known for its awe-inspiring rosters. Mortal Kombat 1, as per the leaks and official information, looks to live up to this reputation. The reboot welcomes the return of classic characters such as Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena, and Johnny Cage. It will also introduce us to a brand-new concept in the Mortal Kombat universe, the Kameo Fighters. These characters will be a separate suite of combatants who can assist players during matches, spicing up the battlefield with unanticipated dynamics.
But, what's really interesting at the moment is the introduction of special guest characters to the Mortal Kombat universe, namely Homelander from The Boys, which was confirmed by The Boys' TikTok account.
An accidental confirmation of Homelander's participation in Mortal Kombat 1 during a collaboration announcement with Call of Duty ignited a flurry of excitement among fans. Vought International Studios, the fictional company from The Boys, responded to a query about a possible Mortal Kombat collaboration with a simple: "MK Confirmed." They later added, "Homelander will be available at some point. That's all we can say," further stoking the flames of anticipation.
