Today&#8217;s Omni-Man gameplay trailer showcases why he may just be the most badass of the bunch when he arrives this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as in the <em>Invincible <\/em>animated Amazon series, Omni-Man is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/mortal-kombat-1s-omni-man-will-be-voiced-by-j-k-simmons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voiced by the ridiculously awesome J.K. Simmons<\/a>. Throughout the trailer, NetherRealm Studios shows off the actor&#8217;s skills as he relentlessly mocks Liu Kang and his allies prior to beating the hell out of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mortal Kombat 1 - Official Omni-Man Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vHqrtC9hxRo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/mortal-kombat-1-reveals-omni-man-tremor-in-eye-popping-new-trailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what Omni-Man is capable of<\/a> in a previous <em>Mortal Kombat 1 <\/em>trailer. But today&#8217;s video puts the Viltrumite&#8217;s full abilities on display. He&#8217;s brutal, nimble, and of course, deadly. You don&#8217;t need a subway train to showcase that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new kameo fighter is also on the way alongside Omni-Man&#8217;s debut next week. Tremor, who originally debuted in 2000&#8217;s <em>Mortal Kombat: Special Forces<\/em>, is a ninja like Sub-Zero and Scorpion but with earth powers. He pairs nicely as a kameo higher alongside Omni-Man. While the <em>Invincible <\/em>villain is pulling meteors from the atmosphere and smashing opponents with them, Tremor is doing the same with giant boulders right here from Earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both combatants will join the fray on November 9 for those with the Kombat Pack. They are available a week later for everyone else as standalone DLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following that, there&#8217;s plenty more DLC in the pipeline. Quan-Chi and DC&#8217;s Peacemaker are slated for sometime in the winter. Ermac and <em>The Boys<\/em>&#8216; Homelander are planned for spring. The apprentice of Scorpion himself, Takeda Takahashi, should be out as a playable fighter next summer. And Ferra, Janet Cage, Khameleon, and Mavado are all in the works as additional kameo fighters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t given <em>Mortal Kombat 1 <\/em>a try, perhaps you should.
