OK, so Mk has given superman a weakness of magic to keep him at MK characters leval,
but assuming wonderwoman makes the cut (I really hope she does) this weakness wouldn't really work for her,
her powers are magical in nature and shes often described as "as strong as superman" and a heavy hitter in the DC world,
so there is little chance someone like Sonya could last 2 seconds against her

I know its only a game so they have to balance these things out and not take it so seriously..but just saying

>_> In the original comic in the forties, her weakness was being tied up, and apparently her fellow amazons made games out of that...I'm not making that up, the writer had certain...interests...he also made technology that ended up in polygraph machine, which made sense, as he made the lasso of truth. The guy was a polygamist as well, so...yeah. Anyways, I imagine magic would affect her as well, it being her make up, it could alter her power.

Im no expert, but I believe Wonder Woman is vulnerable to slashing weapons, and also to poison if it gets to her bloodstream.

Im curious as to how they will 'de-power' Wonder Woman or at least decrease her capabilities. Perhaps they'll write it that her powers were lost/weakened during the merger or that her armour isnt as effective in the MK Universe as it is in the DC universe.

Also with most comic book heroes they ahve different version that appear from time to time, so perhaps a weaker version of Wonder Woman will be used, or they'll create a version for the purposes of the cross over.

Same thing goes for Captain Marvel. How will they weaken him when he can go toe to toe with Superman and WW?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the "being bound by a man" trick doesn't work against Diana anymore.

Her skin is not completely invulnerable, which is why she can be pierced by sharp objects. However, I seriously doubt anyone on the MK side would be fast enough to get past her defenses.

Diana, CM and GL are in the same boat really. The "magic" catch all won't work on them. Curious to see how they will get around it. Perhaps the merging of the worlds will do something to the pantheon of gods. That would affect both WW and CM. We shall see.

Yeah, its not, I just thought I'd give a history lesson, lol. I do believe she's weak to piercing attacks, because she uses her bracers to deflect bullets, yet takes some rough hits.

Batman's only as invincible as the writers want him to be, and against foes that he has decent prep time and detailed information on. Taking away a comprehensive plan to take down an opponent, Batman's just a guy in a funny costume with kung fu (just like every MK character). Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel are more difficult to weaken than Supes, even though "Magic" doesn't drain even his strength. As for Flash, it really depends on the writer whether or not he can be hit (For example, I once remember seeing Deathstroke stab the Flash. Deathstroke does have some super strength and heightened reflexes, but not nearly as much as Supes or Wonder Woman).
Plus let's just assume that the MK cast has a measure of super strength. I've yet to see a real martial artist perform juggle combos (if anyone has a youtube vid of that I'd be amazed), and the MK fighters can shatter diamond blocks with their hands/feet. So let's just assume they've got the brawn to hold their own.

@rdthelegend1: MK fighters aren't that "weak".
Not after what I've seen anyways in Deception(mostly) anyways, jump off high buildings after they throw off their opponents and land harshly but unharmed.
