History Characters / MultiVersus

->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS8E13Reboot Reboot]]" (November 2016)

* CompositeCharacter: This is present on all the DC Comics characters, but this incarnation of Batman seems to take the most inspiration from both ''Batman: The Animated Series'' and the 1966 ''Batman'' TV show, as [[TheComicallySerious a mostly serious and intimidating fighter with a goofy streak]] — as seen in several of his voicelines and interactions with other characters. The AffectionateParody of his usual brooding behavior is also reminiscent of his depiction in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie''.

* {{Shotoclone}}: Designed as the beginner character, Shaggy's moveset includes attacks such as [[{{Shoryuken}} the aforementioned uppercut]], a spinning kick, and tossing his sandwich as a projectile. His Ultra Warrior Variant is even directly based on [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Ryu]].

* {{Bowdlerize}}: Suffered from this, her clue-finding game mechanic initially summoned a police car to carry off her opponents. When LeBron James was added as a playable character, players made a consistent meme joke out of playing Velma to [[UnfortunateImplications get the cartoon caricature of LeBron arrested with her move]]. Thus, the police car was swapped out for the Mystery Machine, despite the Gang never using it to haul criminals away...

* WhipItGood: To continue Rick's stream of used weaponry, Rick uses this for his grounded up attack, "Plasma Whip, Baby!".

* BadassBaritone: Courtesy of the late Creator/KevinConroy, arguably his most iconic voice actor.

* BadassUnintentional: While they are aware of the other fighters, their moveset is mostly Tom trying to beat up Jerry and the opponents getting hit by the collateral. Tom's actually fairly weak if Jerry is really taken out of the game, mostly because his fighting spirit falters without Jerry, indicating that Tom only really wants to fight Jerry. Even with all this, their constant internal brawl leaves them strong enough to combat the other characters competently.

* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Tom and Jerry are constantly bickering and fighting and even work better as a team despite their rivalry. That said, despite their vitriol, whenever Jerry is removed from the battlefield, Tom's attacks are considerably weaker, as Tom sees no point in fighting when all he wanted to do was chase and catch Jerry.

* SymbolSwearing: When he charges his neutral attack without a ball, the resulting speech bubble reads "#@$*%!" instead of "FOUL!"

* WrittenSoundEffect: Velma's speech has the same effect as other fighters' fists or weapons.

* BareYourMidriff: Her default, ''DC Rebirth'' inspired outfit, shows off her stomach, though her classic outfit averts this.

* DemographicDissonantCrossover: Her home show is very dark and graphic in terms of sex and violence, making her inclusion in a roster full of family friendly cartoon characters somewhat baffling. (She's also the only character so far in the game to hail from an Creator/{{HBO}} property as opposed to properties from Creator/WarnerBros, Creator/DCComics, Creator/HannaBarbera, or Creator/CartoonNetwork.)

* IAteWhat: Inverted. Upon knocking-out an enemy, Arya will spawn an oversized pie, which can be "eaten" by the enemies, healing them but also applying a "Slow" debuff. ''[=GoT=]'' viewers will recognize the reference [[spoiler:to the infamous, [[AssholeVictim yet satisfying]] [[FamilialCannibalismSurprise Frey pie scene]]]], which has rather [[AutoCannibalism dark implications for]] [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies the fillings of the pie]] that Arya spawns...

* NotSoAboveItAll: If she wins a fight against Shaggy, she suggests to have their dogs duke it out next time.

* AmbiguouslyBi: While not outright confirmed, Harley's interactions towards Wonder Woman can veer between genuine respect to sounding suspiciously like a crush. [[labelnote:Note]] Harley is canonically bisexual in most recent continuities, but her portrayal in this game doesn't confirm or deny her sexuality. [[/labelnote]]

* SheFu: Harley is very athletic and flexible, and this shows in how she fights. She cartwheels to dodge attacks, flips when she jumps and does spinning kicks as one of her attacks.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: While Marvin is fairly antagonistic to nearly everyone he comes across, he does show excitement when teaming up with fellow RayGun enthusiast Rick. One of his victory quotes with Rick has Marvin even offers to split the Multiverse 60/40 with him which, for Marvin, is saying something.

* StopPokingMe: One of his menu interactions lines has Stripe straight up tell you to go away.

* JackOfAllStats: Bruisers tend to combine support options, ranged attacks and staying power in a mostly melee-based moveset; however, they don't excel at any of these roles when compared to more specialized characters, and lack the combo potential and mobility kit that most Assassins have. Any drawback they possess is more inherent to the character than to the class as a whole. Because of this, they tend to be beginner-friendly.
* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Downplayed. At first glance, the only thing thing Bruisers have in common is some predilection for melee moves -- and even then, Jake, the only "pure" melee fighter in the class ([[RubberMan rather literally]]) stretches the definition of "melee". Mechanically, however, all Bruisers share easy ways to punish bad reads, with moves with huge knockback and KO potential -- such as Taz' "Taz-Nado" and Jake's "Stretchin' Out".

* EntertaininglyWrong: As the world's best detective, one of his intro lines when facing Shaggy has him try to deduce which ''specific'' freak accident that resulted in the latter's newfound powers, but both of his assumptions are wrong.[[note]]It's actually a power crystal that Shaggy ate by mistake.[[/note]]

* SmokeOut: With "Smoke Bomb", that allows him to covers his team’s movements by making them "Invisible", increasing the rate at which the Dodge Meter refills and also giving them a very brief "Invulnerability" buff.
* StealthExpert: Fittingly, Bruce is the only memeber of the cast that can create the "Invisible" buff to obscure himself and allies.

* ThouShallNotKill: Batman's number one rule, invoked as a part of his playstyle. Batman is great at combos and racking up damage, but it's difficult to get ring outs with him, even if the opponent's damage is in the 100's. This is also the reason why he was changed from an Assassin to a Bruiser in the final release.

Black Adam's AlternateContinuity [[Film/BlackAdam2022 movie counterpart]] that was imprisoned for 5,000 years before emerging in modern day Kahndaq.

-->''(to Superman)'' ''"A super powered fighter from an alien planet. Sounds familiar."''

* AdaptationalBadass: PlayedWith. In his home series, Jake was willing to fight but he would (somewhat infrequently) have to be pushed towards doing it and would at least on one occasion nearly let Finn be killed before he moved to do anything. Here, he's always willing to throw hands with whomever's in his way.

* HitboxDissonance: While Jake is using "Stretchin' Out", only his ''head'' is vulnerable. Attacking any other part of his body will result on the opponent being knocked back.

* BadassNormal: Perhaps more so than any other character, [=LeBron=] does not have any weapons, gadgets or powers of any kind, but manages to keep up with the rest of the cast simply with his own basketball prowess.

* DemographicDissonantCrossover: Similar to Arya Stark, Morty's home series is known for its adult humor and over the top violence.

* FakeShemp: Morty is one of the only characters to not get new voice lines, instead having his recycled from the show. This is only for the English dub; in other versions he was TheVoiceless until patch 1.07.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Shaggy gaining powers give him a little ''too much'' newfound confidence, making him act like a textbook ArrogantKungFuGuy. Superman constantly warns him to keep his powers in check before he hurts someone.

* BruceLeeClone: One of his outfits -- which has him with no shirt, yellow pants and gold shades -- has him do Bruce's bouncing footwork pose and thumb across the nose gesture. A victory screen has him with two sausages linked together to emulate nunchucks, which Bruce was well known for.

* EdibleAmmunition: His down special has Shaggy throw a sandwich as projectile, which can also heal teammates. When powered up by "Rage", the sandwich become much bigger and launches foes much farther.
-->''"Munch on this dude!"''

* SuperLoser: While he is empowered from consuming a crystal, Shaggy is mostly the same scruffy, scaredy, hungry hippie as before. This applies a bit less when he's dressed up in Kung Food attire, though.
* SuperMode: "ZOINKS!" has Shaggy charge his energy a la ''[[Franchise/DragonBall Dragon Ball Z]]''. His next special attack will hit harder, move further, give him armor and apply maximum stacks of "Weakened" to enemies, but the aura is consumed after that attack.

* DisinheritedChild: Shagworthy threatening an variation of this when being KO'ed by his nephew.

* BigBallOfViolence: "Dogpile! Dogpile!" has Taz originate one that gradually grows in size, can move around the arena and can suck up an opponent, dealing heavy damage.

* IgnoredEpiphany: One voiceline has him ponder whether life is actually just a virtual simulation (which this game technically is), before he immediately brushes off the notion as silly.
* LateToTheRealization: His losing animation has him perked up and apparently ''very'' confused on what's going on before the realization suddenly hits him that he's on the losing team, causing him to start flipping out.

* TrapMaster: Many of their moves are designed around abusing positioning and making opponents second-guess any attempt at closing the distance. For example, Bugs can use his tunnels to surprise opponents with his projectiles, while Tom can setup Jerry to act like a trap with his fishing rod, and also lay a more traditional one on the ground.

* ImprovisedPlatform: Bugs' rocket can work as a temporary platform for fighters to stand on until it hits anything or it goes off screen.

* SoreLoser: Similar to fellow ''Looney Tunes'' member, Taz, if he loses a match, he throws an absolutely livid tantrum while kicking the air, flailing around and apparently ranting something while he’s literally hopping mad.

-->''(to the Iron Giant)'' ''"Hey! Tall, dark, and iron-clad! I hope you rust!"''

** Ironically, in one of Bugs's win quotes, he mocks ''the opponent'' for being a sore loser.

* FakeShemp: Like Morty before him, Rick goes without any new lines recorded for him, instead using archived audio from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. Also like Morty this only applies to the English dub.

* JetPack: Rick uses a pair or rocket boots to fire a downwards blast in his down aerial attack, "Collatrickal Damage", alongside using a traditional jetpack for his up special.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When he loses a match while wearing his Seal Team skin, Rick motions for a rope to come down, and after he grabs it, he does a [[ThroatSlittingGesture neck-cutting motion]] towards whomever won as he is taken up.

** Jerry can be sent out either through their neutral special, which has Tom slingshot him as a projectile, or via their up special, a rocket that can either be controlled on the ground or can fly at a fixed arc if done in mid-air. The rocket deals more damage as a trade-off to the move being harder to land than the slingshot.

* {{Vampire}}: Both Tom and Jerry become one for their Halloween exclusive variant.

* DeadlyForcefield: A downplayed example, as Steven is not actually able to use his shields to knock-out anyone, but can instead use them to heavily reduce an opponent's mobility and allow an ally to capitalize on this.
* DifficultButAwesome: Steven is noted to be the hardest characters to use on the character select screen, being labeled under the "Expert" difficulty.

* {{Expy}}: Velma's playstyle, being a MechanicallyUnusualFighter who's moveset revolves around ordinary gestures and gathering clues to build up to a super attack where she accuses the opponent of a crime, brings to mind [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] in his appearance in ''VideoGame/UltimateMarvelVsCapcom3''.

* LatexSpaceSuit: Downplayed. Velma's Astronaut variant is noticeably metallic looking with many pads and armor, but is still rather tight and form-fitting.

* SuperStrength: Her "Fast Thinker" special allows her to pick up an ally or an enemy, which varies from Tom & Jerry (a housecat and a mouse) to the ''Iron Giant'' (a 50-feet-tall metal robot).

* SupportPartyMember: His playstyle is the most support-oriented of the inaugural three Tanks. His neutral special summons a shield for both himself and teammates, and he can be used as a platform whenever he's wall clinging. In his rage mode, other fighters can even ride him around. His playstyle in general encourages defending teammates with his massive body.

** On the flipside, his Black Lantern variant plays it straight by implying that the player couldn't handle him.

* GrappleMove: With "Go Long!", which can throw enemies on multiple directions and be used for easy [=KOs=].

* OhMyGods: She periodically invokes the names of Greek gods like Athena, Ares and Hephaestus during matches, and may proudly bring up Zeus after she wins. Superman even encourages her to call upon whoever she needs, when they team up.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She is a goddess that's lived for centuries, a fact that she brings up from time to time, so she's had her fair share of fantastical adventures throughout the ages that has made her more battle-hardened than the majority of her opponents. Her longevity is also reflected out of universe; among the characters revealed so far, she's the fifth oldest.

* AttractiveZombie: Unlike Superman's Black Lantern form, who has grayed out skin and hair and visibly rotting flesh, BL Wonder Woman is still has beautiful Amazonian form and fair skin, just a tone grayer.
