J.K. Simmons is also reprising his role and voicing Omni-Man for Mortal Kombat 1.

While the new timeline forged by the Fire God Liu Kang and thus, we see the two squaring off in the gameplay trailer. Despite his arrogant demeanour and slow pace, Omni-Man quickly finds his footing through incredible strength, managing to easily toss around opponents using one hand and following it up with a brutal Fatality, where he pins them down and repeatedly punches faces, resulting in a bloodbath — before slamming down and cracking open their skulls. There's also one where he squeezes Liu Kang's head until his eyeballs pop out in gory fashion.

Mortal Kombat 1 Review

Revealing his plans to form the Viltrum Empire — the alien planet he's from — he drags Scorpion onto a subway line. If you've seen Invincible, you already know what happens next — Omni-Man uses his opponent's body as a shield against an incoming train, as its iron bars and torn metal continue cutting chunks off from their body, almost like a grater. Through all of this, Omni-Man's violent facade never comes off, making this seem like a faithful recreation. The Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay trailer also reveals Tremor, a ninja honing Earth elemental powers, serving as a Kameo (assist) fighter for Omni-Man. He can be seen turning his arms into strong boulders and smashing enemies, or at times, emerging from underneath the Earth's surface to catch them off guard.

As mentioned before, Omni-Man is included as part of Mortal Kombat 1's DLC add-on pack, which promises to bring a bunch of other fighters, as well. Following Omni-Man and Tremor's (Kameo) introduction in November, NetherRealm confirmed that we can expect the necromancy expert Quan Chi and DC Comics' Steven Yeun) struggles to rebuild his life out of fear that he might become as vicious as his father Omni-Man was.
