| 14 | !DC Characters |
| 15 | Here we're going to list the tropes that only/mostly apply to the game. For the other tropes, check their sheets. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | [[folder:The Flash]] |
| 18 | !![[Franchise/TheFlash The Flash (Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen)]] |
| 19 | [[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mkdcu-flash_5713.jpg]] |
| 20 | -> ''"Listen, I don't know what happened. I just... felt this [[UnstoppableRage rage]]... It overwhelmed me, I couldn't stop myself."'' |
| 21 | ->-- '''To Batman in Chapter 2 of the DC side''' |
| 22 | |
| 23 | -> Voiced by: Creator/TaliesinJaffe |
| 24 | |
| 25 | -> After a freak laboratory accident, police chemist Barry Allen was given the powers of superspeed and took on the crimson costume of the Flash. Able to travel at nearly the speed of light, Franchise/TheFlash can also vibrate through most obstacles and has been known to phase into entirely different realities. |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He is the protagonist of chapter 1 of the DC side. |
| 28 | * TheCameo: He is referenced in ''11'' in an intro with the Joker and Kabal. |
| 29 | -->'''Joker''': Everywhere I go, there's a speedster...\ |
| 30 | '''Kabal''': [[SarcasmMode My apologies for boring you.]]\ |
| 31 | '''Joker''': None needed! You'll be dead in a ''flash''! |
| 32 | * CompositeCharacter: Although his bio confirms him to be Barry Allen, his costume, eye color, and mention by Deathstroke of being based in Keystone City come from his successor, Wally West. |
| 33 | * FragileSpeedster: He hits the quickest in the game, but he’s low on endurance. |
| 34 | * {{Foil}}: He's the counterpart to Scorpion: Both have lost family and can strike quickly from far away. |
| 35 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Shortly after subduing Deathstroke, he responds to a call from the Justice League HQ stating that he's "just went three rounds with Deathstroke." |
| 36 | * NeckLift: Uses it on Kano when the Rage takes him over. |
| 37 | * PsychicLink: With Liu Kang in his arcade ending. |
| 38 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: He's almost the only character in the game who can rack up to 14 hits in a single combo. Oh, and his "Flashy Beatdown" [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]] involves him not only using this, but also ''Rapid Fire Bicycle Kicks''. |
| 39 | * SpamAttack: As a speedster he hits quickly. Thus his combos are this. |
| 40 | * SuperSpeed: As several specials. His "Whirlwind Slam" [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]] involves creating a tornado with it to levitate his opponent. |
| 41 | ** Kano has some difficulties trying to use his EyeBeams on him in the first chapter of the DC side. |
| 42 | [[/folder]] |
| 43 | |
| 44 | [[folder:Batman]] |
| 45 | !![[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman (Bruce Thomas Wayne)]] |

| 47 | -> ''"Your world is invading mine, affecting everything and everyone in it. Don't think you can take me so easily."'' |
| 48 | ->-- '''To Sub-Zero in the fourth chapter of the MK side.''' |
| 49 | |
| 50 | -> Voiced by: David Gazzana |
| 51 | |
| 52 | -> When his parents were gunned down in front of him, young Bruce Wayne resolved to rid Gotham City of the criminal element that took their lives. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, in addition to mastering martial arts, detective techniques, and criminal psychology. Dressing as a bat to prey on criminals' fears and operating out of his secret Batcave below Wayne Manor, Franchise/{{Batman}} fights crime with the aid of specialized gadgets and vehicles. |
| 53 | ---- |
| 54 | * BadassNormal: Defeats all sorts of foes with a combination of martial arts and advanced technology. |
| 55 | * BatOutOfHell: His "Bat Swarm" [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]] involves him attaching a sonic device to attract bats to his opponent. |
| 56 | * TheCameo: While Batman doesn't make a physical appearance in '' Mortal Kombat 11,'' his likeliness is prominent in the Joker's arsenal of weapons. |
| 57 | ** His Batarang also makes an appearance for the Joker's Friendship, where it hits him in the back of the head to assure the crazy clown still doesn't kill anyone during what's supposed to be a humorous moment of peace. |
| 58 | * ChestInsignia: The Bat logo. |
| 59 | * CombatPragmatist: A definite in his fighting style. |
| 60 | * CoolCar: The Batmobile, which is used in cutscenes. |
| 61 | * CrazyPrepared: He prepared for anything, Joker, alien invasions, and dimensional overlords. |
| 62 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He wears dark, but he’s one a hero through and through. |
| 63 | * DeadpanSnarker: His attitude towards the more hammy heroes and villains. |
| 64 | * {{Foil}}: Batman is a loner just like Sub-Zero. |
| 65 | * ISenseADisturbanceInTheForce: He detects more "energy anomalies similar to that of Scorpion's frequency" in the heart of Gotham. |
| 66 | * PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: His Batarang. There are special variants such as bomb ones. |
| 67 | * TeleportSpam: One of his normals. |
| 68 | [[/folder]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | [[folder:Wonder Woman]] |
| 71 | !![[Franchise/WonderWoman Wonder Woman (Princess Diana of Themyscira/Diana Prince)]] |
| 72 | [[quoteright:333:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mkdcu-wonder-woman_702.jpg]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | -> Voiced by: Creator/TaraPlatt |
| 75 | |
| 76 | -> Daughter of Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons, [[Franchise/WonderWoman Princess Diana]] sprung from the mists of Greek mythology. She left the female-only island of Themyscira to travel to "Man's World" as an emissary of peace. Gifted with super-strength and invulnerability, her main tool in crime-fighting is her golden Lasso of Truth. Unbreakable, it forces all captured by it to tell the truth. |
| 77 | ---- |
| 78 | * ActionGirl: As the world's best-known female superhero, this is to be expected. |
| 79 | * AlliterativeName: '''Wo'''nder '''Wo'''man. |
| 80 | * FlagBikini: Her iconic outfit in the comics at the time. |
| 81 | * {{Foil}}: To Kitana as they are both warrior princesses. |
| 82 | * KnowsTheRopes: Her iconic Lasso of Truth. |
| 83 | * MissionControl: In the first two chapters, she is in the JLA headquarters. |
| 84 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: This iteration of Wonder Woman's outfit leaves her back bare. |
| 85 | * SheFu: Her fighting style in the game. |
| 86 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only DC heroine in the game. Catwoman is present but is a villain. This gets somewhat subverted when the DC heroes and villains pull an EnemyMine. |
| 87 | * SpinAttack: Her "Wondrous Spin" attack. |
| 88 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Just look at her outfit. |
| 89 | * WarriorPrincess: Princess of the Amazons and one of the world’s mightiest superheroes. |
| 90 | [[/folder]] |
| 91 | |
| 92 | [[folder:Green Lantern]] |
| 93 | !![[Franchise/GreenLantern Green Lantern (Harold "Hal" Jordan)]] |
| 94 | [[quoteright:286:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mkdcu-green-lantern_6827.jpg]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | -> Voiced by: Josh Phillips |
| 97 | |
| 98 | -> Fighter pilot Hal Jordan was testing an experimental aircraft when he found himself transported into the desert, to the side of a dying alien who gifted him with a glowing ring, which is charged regularly by a green lantern. By taking the ring, Jordan found himself drafted into the [[Franchise/GreenLantern Green Lantern Corps]], an interstellar police force that assigned him to protect Earth. Jordan can use his ring to conjure up anything he can imagine! |
| 99 | ----- |
| 100 | * BarrierWarrior: He can summon a barrier with his ring as one of his specials. |
| 101 | * [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS Brought To You By The Symbol OZ]] |
| 102 | * ChainsawGood: His ring creates a saw as the finishing part in the Freefall Kombat. |
| 103 | * ColorCharacter: '''Green''' Lantern. |
| 104 | * {{Foil}}: Green Lantern and Liu Kang are appointed protectors of their respective worlds. |
| 105 | * SwissArmySuperpower: The Green Lantern Ring (former TropeNamer) and the source of his specials, including his two [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutalities]]. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder:Captain Marvel]] |
| 109 | !![[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel (William Joseph "Billy" Batson)]] |
| 110 | [[quoteright:254:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mkdcu-captain-marvel_2370.jpg]] |
| 111 | |
| 112 | -> Voiced by: Kevin Delaney |
| 113 | |
| 114 | -> Young Billy Batson was an orphan who wandered into a deep cavern. There he encountered the ancient wizard Shazam, who granted Billy the ability to transform into the hero [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]. Whenever Billy speaks the name "SHAZAM!", a mystical lightning bolt recreates him as a hero with super-strength, flight, speed, and other powers of mythological heroes. In return, he must always fight evil in its form as the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * CaptainSuperhero: It's in the name. |
| 117 | * DifficultButAwesome: His "Achilles Bolt" has a delay before it can connect. When it does, it sends the opponent flying to the extreme of the screen. |
| 118 | * {{Foil}}: Much like Shang Tsung, Captain Marvel wields powerful magic. |
| 119 | * LightningCanDoAnything: He uses lightning as a grab (The "Power of Zeus") and it's also involved in his "Ground Slam" [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]]. |
| 120 | * LookWhatICanDoNow: In his ending, he receives the powers of the Elder Gods. |
| 121 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: In his chapter, he's dragged to the Netherrealm by Shang Tsung, then has to fight against Scorpion, Baraka, and Shang Tsung himself. After he succeeds: |
| 122 | --> '''[[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]''': ''I've had enough of your games, Shang Tsung. I've beaten you and your demons. Now before the combat rage takes over again, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Send. Me. Back]]. |
| 123 | --> '''Shang Tsung''': As you wish. |
| 124 | * ShockAndAwe: His lightning bolt in the game is part of his brutalities. |
| 125 | * TeleportSpam: His "Solomon Escape". |
| 126 | * ThemeNaming: All of his six moves are named after the gods/legendary heroes that empower him. (''Solomon'' Escape, Strength of ''Hercules'', ''Atlas'' Clap, Power Of ''Zeus'', ''Achilles'' Bolt and ''Mercury'' Bear Hug) |
| 127 | [[/folder]] |
| 128 | |
| 129 | [[folder:The Joker]] |
| 130 | !![[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker (Unknown)]] |
| 131 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mk11jokerrender.png]] |
| 132 | [[caption-width-right:350:''"You haven't '''seen''' crazy!"'']] |
| 133 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his ''vs. DC Universe'' design]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mkdcu-joker_1000.jpg[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 134 | -> ''"Come on! We'll [[BloodKnight kill things]], [[StuffBlowingUp BLOW STUFF UP!]] [[AxCrazy Oh, it'll]] [[PsychopathicManchild be fun]]!"'' |
| 135 | ->-- ''To Deathstroke in the fifth chapter of the DC side.'' |
| 136 | |
| 137 | -> '''Debut game:''' ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'' (Creator/RichardEpcar) |
| 138 | -> '''Other appearances:''' ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' (DLC) (Creator/RichardEpcar, English; Kenny Braasch, Face Model; Creator/JoseAntonioMacias (Latin American Spanish), Stéphane Ronchewski (French) |
| 139 | |
| 140 | -> Unpredictable, violent and incredibly dangerous, The Joker is chaos personified. [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily He’s killed a Robin]], [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke crippled Batgirl]] and tortured and murdered countless people throughout the DC universe, and now he's set his sights on the ''Mortal Kombat'' universe. |
| 141 | ---- |
| 142 | * ArtEvolution: |
| 143 | ** Perhaps one of the best cases of this trope in action in the ''Mortal Kombat'' series. His appearance in ''Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe'' has him use a design based off his traditional look in the comics at the time with a colorful purple suit and exaggerated features. His return appearance in ''11'' has him drawn with realistic features (Namely a less pronounced chin) and a more subdued suit without a vest or tie. |
| 144 | ** Also applies to his ''11'' model. Pre-release he had a noticeably youthful look, while the final game model portrays him with an older-looking and more detailed face. |
| 145 | * AxCrazy: To call him crazy is too simple. The man is horrifically, murderously ''insane'' beyond any reason. |
| 146 | * BadBoss: Implied. He tries hiring Kabal for a job, to which the man has no qualms with if he pays well. However, when Kabal asks what happened to his last group of workers, the Joker suggests he ''killed'' them [[ForTheEvulz for laughs.]] Kabal calls the deal off after. |
| 147 | -->'''Kabal:''' What happened to your last crew?\ |
| 148 | '''Joker:''' They came down with a really bad case of ''death!''\ |
| 149 | '''Kabal:''' Forget it, Joker. No deal. |
| 150 | * BadassNormal: Temporarily gets to be an EmpoweredBadassNormal. Read Took a Level in Badass below for details. He is this fully in ''Mortal Kombat 11'', however; there's no Dark Kahn or Rage, no density pill like in ''Injustice'', here he's able to go toe-to-toe with Elder beings with just his wit and his weapons. |
| 151 | * BangFlagGun: He pulls this first in his "Gunshot" fatality, then subverts it by firing a real gun. In ''11'' a variation of it shows in one of his win outros. Likewise, a plausible way of looking at his ''[=MK11=]'' Friendship is that the Joker actually ''was'' going to use the flag gun as a part of his Friendship, [[NotMeThisTime and then gripes at Batman for not trusting him enough to play by the game's rules]]. |
| 152 | * BatterUp: Some of the variations for his Kane, are either Baseball or Cricket Bats with all kinds of nasty stuff on them to make sure that when it hits his opponent, it's gonna hurt. Appropriately enough, one of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9k8RobGV0o MK 11 Brutalities]] is called "Batter Up". In which he obviously does a home run on his opponents' head, but not before giving both of his mitts some spit before winding up for one. |
| 153 | * BattleTrophy: In his "Pop Goes The Mortal'' fatality, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcZEUgrg-Qs an alternate song he can rarely sing]] has him proclaim how he intends to keep his opponent’s cranium as a trophy while decapitating them with a jack-in-the-box: |
| 154 | -->''The fight is done and now's the time, to bring it to a crescendo!~ Crank the knob, and what'll I get?... '''Your head as a memento!~''''' |
| 155 | * BerserkButton: The Joker takes immense pride in his identity as [[TheDreaded the enigmatic 'Clown Prince of Crime']]; he brags about his infamy to various fighters, and is delighted when the opponent can't find out anything about his past. The biggest way to set him off is to challenge ''who'' he is in some way, as demonstrated with how enraged he becomes when Shang Tsung uses his face and Geras threatens to expose him for who he really is under the bluster. |
| 156 | * BeyondTheImpossible: An interaction with Sheeva has her lampshade Joker being [[HatedByAll hated by the entire MK cast]], claiming the Joker has united the realms solely to end his evil. |
| 157 | * BilingualBonus: Apparently speaks some Hawaiian: |
| 158 | -->'''Joker''': There's a name for people like you.\ |
| 159 | '''Scorpion''': Choose your next word carefully, Joker.\ |
| 160 | '''Joker''': [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reef_triggerfish Humuhumunukunuku]] [[Film/HighSchoolMusical2 apua'a!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] He said Scorpion looks like a triggerfish with a pig's snout. [[/labelnote]] |
| 161 | * BloodierAndGorier: ''MK vs DC'' was rated T for Teen, which limited the extent of how brutal Joker's attacks could be (though he still managed to get a Fatality censored); ''[=MK11=]'' has no such restrictions, ''and boy, does he know it''. Special mention goes to one of his special moves, where he blows up a person just to damage his opponent, and his Fatal Blow, which ends with him brutally caving in the opponent's face, covering the screen in blood. |
| 162 | * BloodKnight: He ''loves'' killing, and what he loves even more is killing someone who's ''capable''. He never misses the chance to brawl here. |
| 163 | * BodyHorror: Some of his skins replace his left eye with an 8-ball crudely shoved into the socket, while a few disguises he can equip include masks that appear to be nailed into his skull. |
| 164 | * BoomHeadshot: One of his fatalities back in MK vs DC. Where he tricks his opponent by pretending to do this first with a good ol' BangFlagGun, before pulling out an actual gun and shooting off their face. Unfortunately, this is done offscreen. However, one of his brutalities in 11 has him inflict this with the gun inside his dummy's mouth. Although as to be expected from Joker, it's rather excessive as he seems to unload an entire smg's worth of bullets onto his poor opponent's mug. It's played with in his friendship where he seems to be going for this, but Batman batarangs him before he can pull the trigger, ignoring his combatant for the rest of the finisher. |
| 165 | * TheBusCameBack: He is once again playable in ''[=MK11=]'' as part of the Kombat Pack. This is also the case InUniverse, as several characters recognize him and seem to remember the events of ''MK vs. DC''. |
| 166 | * CaneFu: He makes use of many different types of large kanes in ''11''. |
| 167 | * CombatSadomasochist: Shockingly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]], compared to other interpretations. Various intros in ''11'' show him ''claiming'' that he would get off to being beaten to a bloody pulp. However, when you perform any FinishingMove such as a Fatality on him, rather than finding it so enjoyable he laughs maniacally as you kill him, he screams in ''abject agony'' as per the other characters. It could also just be GameplayAndStorySegregation. |
| 168 | * CouldntFindAPen: In one of his intros, he uses blood from a knife he carries to paint a smile on his face. |
| 169 | * CrazyPrepared: In ''vs. DC Universe'', he was apparently prepared for an unexpected capture, similar to his old rival. |
| 170 | * CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Befitting the Joker's status as a MonsterClown. |
| 171 | * CrowbarCombatant: Alongside unique kanes, bats and amongst other bludgeoning instruments. He also has his trademark crowbar, although somewhat modified. |
| 172 | * DarkerAndEdgier: The Joker has always been a twisted person, but unlike other games that portray him in some amount of comedic fashion, the Joker in ''11'' is one of the vilest and evil depictions yet. As an example, whereas the rest of the cast's Friendship finishers are all them doing something silly or fun, Joker fully intends to kill the enemy and only stops because an offscreen Batman stops him. Even characters like Kano play the finisher for laughs. |
| 173 | * DeadpanSnarker: [[LargeHam Not quite deadpan]], but he nevertheless loves to throw some snark at his opponents before he fights them. |
| 174 | * DemotedToDragon: Defied. When Shang Tsung makes a gesture at the Joker becoming something like to this to him, he makes it a point he's always going to be in charge. |
| 175 | * DoubleSubversion: His ''[=MK11=]'' Friendship, where he still tries to kill his victim. Cue a Batarang to the head, a disgruntled clown, and a still-living opponent. |
| 176 | * TheDreaded: Those who appeared in ''MK vs. DC'' remember all too well who he is and are not happy to see him again, [[EvenEvilHasStandards including obvious villains]]. Those who didn't are already up to speed on what he's capable of just from word of mouth. Liu Kang later outright tells Peacemaker that the Joker was the worst of the villains from his universe to crossover. |
| 177 | -->'''Sub-Zero''': The realms will sleep well with you silenced. |
| 178 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the first trailer for ''[=MK11=]'''s Kombat Pack, he looked like Creator/CameronMonaghan's portrayal of him in ''Series/{{Gotham}}''. His final design in ''11'' makes him an unintentional InkSuitActor for Creator/RichardEpcar. |
| 179 | * ElectricJoybuzzer: He makes use of these when fighting in ''vs. DC Universe''. Humorously enough, he uses them to bait the opponent into a truce. |
| 180 | -->''"Put 'er there!"'' |
| 181 | * EnemyMine: Another example that's not him so much as something he causes. In Sheeva's intro, she is awed that he has accomplished what the entire MK series has shown as nigh-impossible: getting ''all of the realms'' to unite, in order to take him down. |
| 182 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Not the Joker himself, but pulled on him from other villains. Kano and Kollector in particular explicitly note there is nothing practical gained from what he does, the latter adding there is nothing amusing about it either. |
| 183 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: It says something when ''Noob Saibot'' and Kano even lampshade it. |
| 184 | -->'''Kano''': Only you would find being gutted funny. |
| 185 | * EvilPuppeteer: In ''11'' he uses a Batman puppet outfitted with several weapons hidden in its body. |
| 186 | * EvilerThanThou: Horrifyingly, to almost every ''MK'' villain out there. Noob Saibot is confident the Joker hasn't killed as many people as he has when the clown draws a body count comparison. Even with his life as an assassin, Bi-Han's implied body count does not ''remotely'' compare to Joker's ''millions'' of murders. Jax even considers the Joker to be far more of a monster than Kano could ever be. And for all of Kronika's manipulations over everyone, she at least didn't go as far as to go on a killing spree. ''Through time''. The only Kombatants who could potentially have a higher body count than him would be Shao Kahn (due to [[TimeAbyss his lifespan]] and the amount of realms he’s either conquered or destroyed), Havik (who is just as crazy, homocidal and chaos-loving as the Joker himself), Shinnok (the resident SatanicArchetype and GodOfEvil) or other [[GuestFighter Guest Fighters]] from past games like [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy]] or [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason]]. |
| 187 | -->'''Jade:''' I've never met someone so ''horrid.'' |
| 188 | -->'''Joker:''' Oh sweetie, it was just a joke. |
| 189 | -->'''Jade:''' You killed millions of people! |
| 190 | * ExpendableClone: One piece of MirrorMatch dialogue has both Jokers claiming to have killed a dozen of themselves. |
| 191 | * ExtendoBoxingGlove: Another weapon in his arsenal, used as a ranged attack. In ''11'', he escalates from the standard huge red one to a red-and-green pair, both with extremely painful-looking spiked brass knuckles on the ends. |
| 192 | * FightingClown: Literally and figuratively! [[BlackComedy His comedy is vantablack]], especially in the BloodierAndGorier ''[=MK11=]'', but one can't deny how the sight of him attacking using spiked, [[ExtendoBoxingGlove springy boxing gloves]] and [[GrievousHarmWithABody grabbing random offscreen bodies to attack his enemies]] looks both [[ComedicSociopathy hilariously absurd]] and remarkably effective. |
| 193 | * {{Fingore}}: In one of his intro animations in ''11'', he slices his thumb open to paint on his GlasgowGrin with his own blood. |
| 194 | * {{Foil}}: To Batman, but also to Kano; a vicious, unpredictable criminal. |
| 195 | * ForTheEvulz: Is willing to do ''anything and everything'' if it means it would be funny to his own twisted mind. |
| 196 | -->'''Kollector''': There is no profit in chaos.\ |
| 197 | '''Joker''': It's not about the money, it's about fun!\ |
| 198 | '''Kollector''': [[EvenEvilHasStandards There is no fun either.]] |
| 199 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: His ending in ''11'' includes threatening the player that he, Havik, Mileena, and Hsu Hao will swing by the player's house, then cause some mayhem there and even shoots the TV. It even provides the current page quote. |
| 200 | ** A variation of this occurs during his Friendship: instead of immediately doing something silly and harmless, the Joker instead ''walks up to his downed opponent and pulls out his gun to shoot them dead'', only stopping due to the intervention of an offscreen Batman. To put this in perspective: the Joker is such a bloodthirsty maniac that he'll attempt to kill his opponent ''even when the player's input tells him not to''. |
| 201 | * GlasgowGrin: Defied in ''11'', where his mouth is normal and the red smile was drawn on his face in blood. But he plays it very straight in his Fatal Blow, where he uses a pair of knives to cut up the corners of his opponent's mouth. |
| 202 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Invokes this in ''MK vs DC''; less so in ''11'', where his main weapon is his kane and all sorts of goodies. |
| 203 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: He uses tied up people to damage his opponents in ''11''. |
| 204 | * GroinAttack: Does one to his opponent in ''MK vs DC'' if he does not do a fatality, where he walks over to the opponent and stomps on their crotch. In ''11'', he uses one of his {{Extendo Boxing Glove}}s to smack his opponent in the groin in one of his throws, which even has a Krushing Blow variant. |
| 205 | * GuestFighter: Less so with CrossOver nature of ''MK vs DC'', but he became a proper solo guest in ''11'', not just for the Creator/DCComics, but Creator/NetherrealmStudios' ''{{VideoGame/Injustice|GodsAmongUs}}'' [[VideoGame/Injustice2 series]], a series which has itself crossed over with ''Mortal Kombat'' for DLC (Scorpion appearing in ''Gods Among Us'', Sub-Zero and Raiden in ''2''). Interestingly, while the gameplay styles of the aforementioned ''MK'' fighters remain generally consistent (naturally with tweaks to accommodate whatever game they're in), ''11'''s Joker plays significantly closer to that of ''MK vs DC'' than any ''Injustice'' version. |
| 206 | * HatedByAll: In ''11'', it is directly stated in one of his intros with Sheeva that Joker is so unfathomably vile to the core that the entire MK universe would unify against him, very similarly to ''Injustice'' and its sequel. The cast from ''vs. DC'' does not welcome him back warmly, with other characters fearing or hating him either because [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs of his nuking of Metropolis,]] or because they just know who he is. Even Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn, amongst other characters with similar reputations (Shang having it the worst besides Joker), express distaste for him. Simply put, Jax points out that he makes Kano look tame. |
| 207 | -->'''Jax''': I'll never forgive you, Joker.\ |
| 208 | '''Joker''': [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Which of my crimes have your panties in a twist?]]\ |
| 209 | '''Jax''': [[EvilerThanThou Making Kano seem like less of a monster.]] |
| 210 | * HeroKiller: In ''11'', one of his intro dialogues with Liu Kang implies that he killed Kung Lao offscreen. |
| 211 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Half of his arsenal are strange toys, turned into murder weapons. From jack-in-the-boxes to ventriloquist dummies who look like Batman. |
| 212 | * InkSuitActor: While it's of the coincidence variety, given he has a face model, he does resemble Creator/RichardEpcar in ''11''. |
| 213 | * InsultBackfire: Anything that amounts to "crazy" or "creepy" won't faze the guy. |
| 214 | -->'''Joker''': Well, aren't ''you'' just as cute as a button?\ |
| 215 | '''Cassie''': And aren't you just as creepy as [[SoundEffectBleep fuck]].\ |
| 216 | '''Joker''': Flattery will get you nowhere, dearie. |
| 217 | * KillItWithFire: He carries around a canister full of gasoline he can spill on the ground and then light up. He also uses this as a Brutality, setting the opponent on fire... which goes out right when he tries to hug them as a TogetherInDeath maneuver. |
| 218 | -->'''Joker''': N'awwww, look at us! |
| 219 | * LargeHam: His dialogue is full of ham, and [[Creator/RichardEpcar his voice actor's]] ham levels are up to par with Mark Hamill himself. |
| 220 | * LaughablyEvil: Of the CrossesTheLineTwice variation. For example, he shoots his opponent with a gun sticking out of a Batman puppet, breaking Batman's DoesNotLikeGuns rule in a darkly humorous sense. Additionally, in one of his Brutalities in ''11'', he either bludgeons or shoots his foe to death with the doll, breaking Batman's ThouShaltNotKill rule. |
| 221 | * LaughingMad: Par for the course. A particularly chilling example, however, is when Sindel says the Joker can be her subordinate in one intro, [[MyGodYouAreSerious all the Joker does is break out madly laughing]]. This is the ''only'' interaction in ''11'' where a character does not speak at all. |
| 222 | -->'''Sindel''': You may have the privilege of serving me.\ |
| 223 | '''Joker''': '''''HYEHEHAHAHAHAHAAA!'''''\ |
| 224 | '''Sindel''': Did I say something ''funny?'' |
| 225 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The fatality shown in his reveal trailer shows him giving a cake to Baraka before a giant "FRIENDSHIP" sign appears in the background, filled with the font and coloring of Friendships from the early Mortal Kombat games. This is followed up by the cake exploding Baraka directly into the physical sign, where Joker shoots him up with a Tommy gun. The bullets pop the balloons saying "Friendship" to show ''FATALITY'' written in blood or red paint underneath the balloons, as it crashes down and slices the body in half for the killing blow. The normal Fatality graphic is even absent if this one is used. |
| 226 | * MultipleChoicePast: Dialogue in ''11'' varies greatly as to exactly which Joker this is. Some imply he's the same Joker from ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe''. Others imply that he's either one of the Jokers from ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' and ''VideoGame/Injustice2''. Still others imply that he's from anywhere to the main DCU to the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'', or possibly even a brand new, never-before-seen version of him. As per usual for the character, only the Joker himself knows, and he's not telling. |
| 227 | * MysteriousPast: The Terminator will sometimes note that he has no data on the Joker, befitting his MultipleChoicePast. Double subverted with Geras, who tells him Kronika will reveal his true origin, while also telling him he is just a man beneath it all. |
| 228 | * MythologyGag: As to be expected from such an iconic villain as him. |
| 229 | ** Some of his attacks involve him calling over a hostage dressed as the Joker in a wheelchair and grabbing them to swing as a weapon or using them as a decoy to attack opponents, a nod to the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' where he used a wheelchair-bound doppelganger to trick Batman before attacking him. He also carries around a wooden ventriloquist's dummy of Batman, much like his counterpart's strange affection for the discarded Scarface dummy. |
| 230 | ** His Fatal Blow ends with the Joker beating his opponent repeatedly with his kane, a reference to [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily the infamous way he brutalized Jason Todd before killing him]], down to his moves and the camera angle perfectly mirroring the panels. |
| 231 | *** In addition, the shape of his kane somewhat resembles a crowbar, in fact, some of the variations of his Kane replaces it with a unique crowbar. Appropriately, he often uses it similar to one throughout his moveset. |
| 232 | ** One of his special moves has a bound person in a Joker suit and a bomb collar and vest hop towards the opponent, while the detonator in the Joker's hand doesn't work at first, referencing a scene in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' where the Joker blows up a hospital and the bomb doesn't go off until a few moments later. One of his outros is also a reference to that, now featuring his opponent strapped with dynamite and also a close up on Joker trying to make the detonator work and his reaction to the delayed kaboom. |
| 233 | *** A part of his Fatal Blow has him shove his knives into the opponent's mouth and violently drag them to the cheeks, leaving a GlasgowGrin. This can be seen as a reference to one of his "scar stories". |
| 234 | ** An intro has the Joker cut his finger on his knife and use his own blood to paint a smile on his face, similar to how he did it in ''Film/Joker2019''. |
| 235 | ** His dialogue with himself in a MirrorMatch has him ponder the existence of a third Joker, a reference to how there might actually be [[ComicBook/BatmanThreeJokers three Jokers]] in the main continuity. |
| 236 | ** One of the Joker's alternate disguises is based on his DevilishHairHorns from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', with another based his beret from the museum scene in ''Film/Batman1989'', and another being his purple fedora from that film. |
| 237 | ** When confronting Sonya Blade, Joker will sometimes ask, "Why so serious, army girl?", a reference to the famous Creator/HeathLedger's Joker phrase. He'll also quote Creator/JackNicholson's [[Film/Batman1989 Joker]] on two separate occasions: he responds to Shang Tsung's shapeshifting ability with "Never rub another man's rhubarb!" and when he demands to be in Johnny Cage's next film, he says "Just wait 'til they get a load of me!" and quotes one of the lines from the song "[[Music/{{Prince}} Partyman]]" by telling Rain "All hail the new king in town." |
| 238 | ** Joker being miffed with Shang Tsung running around with his face could be a nod to one of Shang Tsung's fatalities in ''[=MK9=]'' which was a TakeThat towards Joker's censored fatality back in MK vs. DC. |
| 239 | ** A mid-round taunt has Joker douse himself in a can of gasoline, in reference to his outro animation in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', where he uses a similar gas can and a match to immolate the defeated opponent. |
| 240 | ** The Batarang seen in his Friendship has its design taken right out of ''VideoGame/Injustice2''. |
| 241 | ** Concept art in the Kollection shows that various looks were considered for him based [[ComicBookFantasyCasting explicitly on his portrayals]] by Creator/JoaquinPhoenix, Creator/HeathLedger, Creator/JackNicholson, and Creator/JaredLeto, before the developers decided on using a more traditional-looking Joker. |
| 242 | ** One of the alternate colorations for his default and scarved costumes is the pinkish color famously worn by Creator/CesarRomero in the Creator/AdamWest ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' TV series. |
| 243 | ** In his Tower Ending in ''11'', "[[Film/TheDarkKnight Why so serious?]]" can be seen spray-painted onto the Hourglass. |
| 244 | * NightmareFetishist: He seems to take a liking to Spawn's violent nature, treating his threat to "turn him inside out ass-first" as dirty talk. |
| 245 | * NoodleIncident: While Shao Kahn is suggested to be alive from the encounter, Skarlet comes to collect the Joker's head because he ''somehow'' unmasked him, greatly humiliating Kahn. |
| 246 | * NotMeThisTime: Assuming that the Joker really was going to use the "Bang!" flag gun as his Friendship in ''11''. In this case, Batman chucked the Batarang at him to make sure he did not get any funny ideas, and an indignant Joker complains to Batman for not trusting him enough to play by the game's rules. |
| 247 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: As a result of his insanity and MultipleChoicePast, the Joker's real name is unknown to everyone, including himself, though he occasionally goes by the alias Jack, with Jack Napier being the name given in ''Film/Batman1989''. |
| 248 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 249 | ** He is ''furious'' when he discovers Shang Tsung has been using his face, [[PrecisionFStrike even calling him a "son of a bitch"]]. |
| 250 | ** The Joker is ''incredibly'' taken aback when Geras threatens to reveal his origins. |
| 251 | -->'''Joker''': What kind of sick joke ''is'' this?! |
| 252 | ** Not him, but Johnny Cage. The guy is troll incarnate and a total killer clown in his own right who always acts carefree and bombastic toward almost everyone, Johnny is completely shocked and stunned by the Joker's over-the-top chaotic exuberance and evil humor, even he expresses a loathsome seriousness and willingness to stop the real threat while being afraid of Joker. |
| 253 | ** In his interactions with Spawn, he seems to panic a little when he realizes that Spawn fully intends to kill him and doesn't follow a "moral code" like Batman would. |
| 254 | * PrettyLittleHeadshots: Averted in one of his Brutalities, where a bullet from his Batsy doll leaves a fist-sized hole through his victim's head. |
| 255 | * PsychoKnifeNut: One of the most unhinged fighters in ''Mortal Kombat'' history, he brings a pair of knives in ''11'' that he uses in his Fatal Blow, maniacally stabbing his opponent's back over and over before giving them a GlasgowGrin. Even his Intro features him sliding the thumb up the dull edge to draw enough blood to paint on a smile. |
| 256 | * PsychopathicManchild: While his intellect is far from childlike, the fact that he themes himself after a clown, has weapons modelled after stereotypical cartoon props and party gags, and ''never stops laughing maniacally'' throws his maturity into question. |
| 257 | * {{Sadist}}: Always looking for ways to up the ante, what he does in his ''11'' ladder ending makes his actions that kicked off ''Injustice'' look like child's play. He kills ''everyone'' in Earthrealm, Outworld, and Netherrealm. Then he uses Kronika's hourglass to find a timeline where Havik Of Chaosrealm is alive, strike up a VillainousFriendship with him, then revive various deranged murderers like Mileena and Hsu Hao. All four of them are seen viciously attacking Orderrealm next; and according to [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Joker's sinister monologue at the end]], that's only ''the first part'' of what he intends to do. |
| 258 | * SadisticChoice: In one of his intros with Jax, he has apparently taken Sonya and Jacqui hostage and gives him the choice of saving one of them, possibly implying that he will kill the other one. |
| 259 | * ScaryJackInTheBox: Another weapon in his arsenal in ''11''. He not only uses it as part of his moveset, but also as a fatality! |
| 260 | * SlasherSmile: His default expression. He gives a particularly sinister one in the Kombat Pack trailer as well. |
| 261 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: His ending in ''11'' shows him able to get along swimmingly with Havik and Mileena. Keep in mind, both are candidates for the most violently insane characters in the series. |
| 262 | * StuffBlowingUp: His Surprise Bomb special has him bring out just that, which can propel the opponent higher into the air. |
| 263 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: PlayedForLaughs. One interaction has Jax greeting the Joker with this trope without initial context, causing the Joker to wonder aloud what he did to him. Jax then expresses the "unforgivable crime" is that the Joker had Jax thinking [[ArchEnemy Kano]] seems ''less'' bad by comparison. |
| 264 | * ThreatBackfire: Raiden threatens to banish him to Chaosrealm. [[{{Unishment}} The Joker is hardly intimidated by this]]. |
| 265 | -->'''Joker''': "Chaos?" ''Now you're talking!'' |
| 266 | * TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to the whole power-fluctuance effect from the mere existence of Dark Kahn, he's now able to fight people like Superman on equal footing. Even more so in ''Mortal Kombat 11'', where he's still able to throw down ''without'' that. |
| 267 | * TorsoWithAView: One of his Fatalities in ''11'' sees him punch a hole through his opponent's chest with an ExtendoBoxingGlove, then placing a jack-in-the-box in their chest cavity [[OffWithHisHead to spring their head into the air]]. |
| 268 | * VillainRespect: He has a particular liking for Rambo, who is just as, possibly more so, violent than the Clown Prince himself. In an intro with him, he states that they should be partners since they both realize how fucked up the world actually is. Of course, Rambo is not keen on palling up with the nutjob. |
| 269 | * YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Has this reaction to a Batarang hitting him during his Friendship, frustrated that Batman won't let him kill the opponent. Begrudgingly, he pulls out a bunch of balloons instead and gives a half-hearted "sorry." |

Using the resources of his financial empire as head of [=LexCorp=], Luthor has developed a high-tech suit to duplicate some of Superman's abilities. Luthor is obsessed with removing the man he sees as the main obstacle to his rise to absolute power. |

Arriving on Earth as the Last Son of Krypton, he was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent on their Kansas farm. Clark Kent manifests the amazing powers of super-strength, flight, and invulnerability under Earth's yellow sun. Instilled with the values of right and wrong, he has taken on the identity of Franchise/{{Superman}} to defend his adopted planet. |

| 311 | * CharacterNarrator: He's in charge of the narration in the beginning of the DC side of the story. |
| 312 | * EyeBeams: His heat vision. |
| 313 | * {{Foil}}: Superman and Raiden are the strongest heroes of their worlds. |
| 314 | * HammeredIntoTheGround: The eponymous "Ground Pound" [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality.]] |
| 315 | * KryptoniteFactor: In addition to his well-known weakness to Kryptonite, he also has a weakness to magic. Since a part of the fusion of both universes is fueled by magic (originated from the MK side), this serves as a HandWave as to why {{Badass Normal}}s can fight him on equal footing. |
| 316 | ** To be fair, Superman's weakness to magic is moderately documented in canon sources, yet easy to forget because foes that use it on him are few and far in-between. |
| 317 | * SuperheroesWearCapes: A trope codifier. |
| 318 | * SuperStrength: To the point where the people not on his level need magic to have any chance of facing him. |

| 336 | * DeadpanSnarker: Loves to snark people, especially Batman. |
| 337 | * FemmeFatale: What she adds hear. |
| 338 | * {{Foil}}: Catwoman and Sonya Blade are counterparts... by process of elimination? They ''are'' more-or-less female mascots of their respective universes, who at the time tended towards various levels of stripperiffic-ness, and being traditionally on opposite ends of the law provides an interesting potential rivalry, but the connection is somewhat tenuous. |

| 359 | * CombatPragmatist: His fighting style is just sheer pragmatism and ruthlessness. |
| 360 | * CreepyMonotone: His voice is just sheer creepiness in one. |
| 361 | * {{Foil}}: Deathstroke and Baraka are blade-wielding mercenaries. |
