It makes him pointless. It's like one of those 'Has everyone's shit' characters. Everyone knows how goddamned stupid that is. That's why he shouldn't be in the game.




So I guess Shang Tsung shouldn't be in the game either since he "has everyone's shit"?

Yeah but he also had his own shit. He didn't have to turn into people to have abilities. Captain Marvel basically is just a hyped up Superman. Shang Tsung has plenty of abilities unique to his character.

^^^^^^Man, it's comic books. How many superheroes, villians etc. have super speed, strength, etc.? Tons. So I guess all of those comic book characters are hyped up Superman characters too? Give me a break.

It's the fact that he's going to be in the game when Superman's already in the game.

and no since not all of them have each of those powers at the same time like..{gasp} Captain Marvel and Superman! Dear God it must mean that each character with just one must be a direct comparison to those two!

So I guess you'll bitch if WW is in the game since she has the "same" powers as Superman? I doubt you would bitch if Lobo was in the game even though he has similar powers to Superman. The DC characters just aren't "hardcore" enough for you. I know I'm not going to change your mind, and I could give a f**k less because you only talk sh*t because you hate DC.

You act as if I haven't been vocal about my hate of DC. I mean really did you like miss it somehow? I'd bitch less because she still has some unique stuff like the lasso and the bracelets. And I wouldn't bitch about Lobo because he's fucking awesome. Hell he and Doomsday are the only DC characters I like. I'm sorry that DC sucks, don't hate me because I don't lose my collective shit over a guy in bright red tights.

Actually at one point he did became and took the mantle of Shazam. Depends on Crisis-continuity, but know for sure he was or is in some continuity Shazam -taking the place of the old man.

No point in losing it at all.

DC Comics has an equal share of love and hate, as do all things. So what is Wonder Woman is similar to Superman? It really doesn't matter. What matters the most is that she represents DC Comics as the ultimate female superhero, which means she should be in the game. Whether or not she has cool powers is a story for another day.

...um, unless I missed some recent development or retcon, I don't think Captain Marvel is highly regarded for actual fighting skills. And even if he has recently gotten training or something....I'm fairly certain he's still not as good as Wonder Woman.

Now, I have nothing against Captain Marvel, but I would advise against defending him by suggesting he's pretty much several characters combined. That doesn't really make him more appealing.

The second "A" in Shazam is for Achilles who was a pretty good warrior.

If I remember correctly, all he got from Achilles was courage, not actual fighting skills.

I stand corrected. I knew Achilles was involved but I couldn't remember off the top of my head what attribute he got from him. Thanks.

If memories serve me correctly, Achilles was just a hero in Greek myth.

Captain Marvel's powers are drawn from figures of various Greco Roman and Biblical Myths. Black Adam's come from Egyptian dieties if I remember, though with mostly the same effect.

Wisdom of King Solomon.
Strength of Hercules.
Stamina of Atlas.
Power of Zeus.
Courage of Achilles.
And the speed of Mercury.

Yeah I didn't think Achilles was a god. He was dipped in the river Styx but I don't think that counts.

Hercules is half god..Atlas is a Titan, not a god. strength could have come from either of those two.
