* Homelander's First Look trailer showcases what he can truly do. In his first Fatality, he uses his eye beams to melt his opponent's head (much like how he kills Madelyn Stillwell) and, in the second, he punches his opponent into the sky and an airplane crashes into them.

* Ermac's first fatality has him suspend his opponent in the air in a manner that can only be described as ''playful'', then sever his victim's hands and feet while spinning them in a circle of their own blood - and ''then'' he severs their limbs at the base, before settling on swapping their hands with their feet, then squashes them into a ball of meat with their new mismatched limbs and head sticking out, not unlike the meat cube created by Triborg's ''Death Machine'' fatality from [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX MKX]]. The victim splatters onto the ground with one final death rattle - "bonus points" for the disturbing manner in which the victim-meatball deforms as it settles into a mound of flesh.

** The Halloween Fatality serves as a ShoutOut to Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch. It has the character force a pumpkin onto the opponent's head... at which point, several bugs crawl out of the pumpkin while the opponent tries to wipe them off before falling to the ground. The character who performed the fatality then kicks the opponent's head, sending it flying into the front door of someone's house. All that's left is a stain of the opponent's blood on the door and their head inside the broken open pumpkin as bugs crawl around it.

** But on the other hand he did this to try and make up for his failure in conquering the Earth of his timeline. Since Viltrumites have long memories, he knows it's only a matter of time before the Empire remembers and turns their sights back on his home reality, meaning he'll have to face his son Mark/Invincible once more. He dreads the idea of having to fight his son for real and can only pray he's ready when the time comes.
* Quan Chi's ending: Quan Chi laments how he's alone with no allies, benefactors or path back to power. He now craves power more than ever before, believing himself more worthy of the powers of the [[TimeMaster Keeper of Time]] than anyone else. As he begins his search for the [[MacGuffin Hourglass]], he further masters the dark magic necessary in achieving his objective. Much like how Liu Kang took Raiden's mantle as Protector of Earthrealm in the New Era, Quan Chi is set to take [[GodOfEvil Shinnok]]'s as TheDarkLord.
