Black Manta

We’ve seen Black Manta in this game actually. At E3 he was shown in a sizzle reel very briefly. The current announced roster doesn’t have him listed so his footage was probably from a scene transition.

In many of NetherRealm’s games you can hit a character into the side of the map and push them into a whole new setting to fight. In those transitions, characters may pop up in a little cameo to help push the character along. Having another character besides Aquaman using water themed style attacks could be very cool. He has been a fan favorite character in the first game.

With the Aquaman film in pre-production and with the announcement of Black Manta being the main villain, it’s time to get all casual fans (who may be unfamiliar with him) get on the hype train.
