Marvel vs. DC? Ed Boon the creator of Mortal Kombat trying to make it happen!

Marvel vs. DC is one of the games listed to a poll created by Ed Boon. Injustice 3 and the Next Mortal Kombat are also on the list.  41.1% goes to Marvel vs. DC.

Who exactly is Ed Boon? Mortal Kombat originally created by him, and he is currently the head of Warner Media’s NetherRealm Studios. Aside from Mortal Kombat he created the Injustice Franchise, A fighting game with a roster of DC comics characters.

Today he created a poll on what game he should do next. Marvel vs. DC is part of the selection.

Boon got overwhelmed with the number of Votes his poll got.

Marvel vs. DC will be one of the most ambitious fighting game crossovers. Marvel is no stranger to crossovers as they had their history with Capcom and it made a franchise. The First Three Marvel vs. Capcom games are still staples of E-sports tournaments. DC comics  did a crossover game with Mortal Kombat before. It is titled Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. That game leads to creation of Mortal Kombat 9 and Injustice.

Both of these well-known comic book publishers have, in the past, collaborated on crossover comics, but they have never done so in a video game (unless you count Fortnite and Mugen). Marvel and DC made some crossover comics before and they also did the Amalgam comics where DC and Marvel characters got merged.

Ed Boon once attempted to make a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter Game happen before but Capcom refuse to see their family friendly characters be dismembered to death. On the other hand there will be no controversy with a Marvel vs. DC Game. I can already imagine some of the possible rivalries. Captain Marvel vs. Shazam? Hulk vs. Superman? and the list goes on. If a Marvel vs. DC Game will happen who will be in your official roster list? What will be your dream rivalries?

  1. I just died and got resurrected. I would want this happen especially after how Good Injustice 2 had became. I can’t even think of a dream roster out of excitement.

  2. Should this game actually be released, it is going to bring the internet to its knees. Even though I don’t believe in a god or a higher power, I’ve decided to stop cheating on my wife, give up drugs, and start attending church regularly.

  3. [SIZE=5]In the event that this was published a year ago, I will state that I do not believe that to be feasible. Neither of the parties involved would accept this. But oh my god if something like this occurs. This is the stuff that every man dreams about.However, everything has recently changed, and I believe that this is now technically possible. It will be to the obvious benefit of both parties.[/SIZE]

  4. I am thinking about all the possible rivalries.

    Superman vs. Hulk
    Batman vs. Ironman
    Wonderwoman vs Storm
    She-Hulk vs Supergirl
    Deadpool vs Harley Quinn
    Killer Frost vs. Iceman
    Aquaman vs. Namor
    Flash vs. Quicksilver
    Shazam vs. Captain Marvel
    Catwoman vs. Shadow Cat
    Green Arrow vs. Hawkeye

    Aside from rivalries there are also the possible team ups. I will play the storymode too and NetherRealm studios is Good at making fighting game stories.

  5. I firmly doubt it will take place. Why? Initially, DC and Marvel collaborated on a comic book with the working title Marvel vs. DC. That was pretty much the last significant communication between the two companies before they ever turned highly toxic against one another. If by some chance this game has place, there has been a lot of tension between the two organizations. It would completely change how comic book history developed. And I’m talking about Spider-contribution Man’s to Marvel. I have my doubts that this is ultimately nothing more than a fantasy, despite how beautiful it sounds. In addition, I worry that if it did happen, the companies would start fighting again and using toxic mouthing. The two have previously had trouble cooperating, which is necessary for such a game. If DC can’t even manage their own universe, how in the world are they going to manage two, one of which just so happens to be their worst enemy? Ed Boon is merely attempting to gain attention in order to persuade Marvel to take action, but I highly doubt Marvel would.

  6. Hope Ed Boon can pull a miracle and made this happen. I believe in him, I mean I never expected Rambo and Terminator in Mortal Kombat and he made it happen.

  7. Injustice 2 won a lot of Awards so I believe that Ed Boon can pull this off if given a chance. He actually listens to fans.

  8. Imagine the rip offs will battle the original?

    Deadpool vs DeathStroke
    Captain Marvel vs Shazam
    The Wasp vs Bumblebee
    Namor vs Aquaman
    Sentry vs Superman
    Catwoman vs Black Cat
    Black Panther vs Redlion

  9. I am all in but I do not want them to include characters like Amadeus Cho,Iron Heart, Jon Kent and all those mantle replacement characters people don’t care about.

  10. I prefer the Marvels any day of the week and they are way better than DC. After its success, I have seen most of the movie industries, for example, Bollywood planning to come up with movies related to this subject.

  11. Ed Boon is a genius and everything he touches recently becomes Gold. I am all for a Marvel vs. DC with the gameplay of Injustice. The Rivalries and dream team up is just awesome.

  13. I remember fans harassing Capcom to make a Marvel vs. DC but Capcom is not interested because the only way they will work with Marvel is if its Vs. Capcom. Ed Boon works for Warner Bros so this could actually work.
