Superman Blue
Why he’d be a good fit: Sure the classic Supes has heat vision, icy breath, etc.. But Superman Blue? Superman Blue shoots lightning, teleports… wait a second. Doesn’t this sound awfully familiar?
Yes, Superman Blue is essentially Mortal Kombat’s Raiden in skintight spandex. So why would we need two of them? Because Blue has enough cool other powers to make it one hell of an interesting fight. Not only can he let anything pass through him but can even turn his powers off. How solid would that be as a game mechanic? Successfully block, the kicks pass right through you. Fail, and you’re as vulnerable as a cosplay Superman at Comic-Con. Self-healing, the ability to control walls of energy to knock you on your ass — the list goes on and on. And since he doesn’t have any of his original powers it would offer a completely fresh character instead of essentially being a skin.
Chances we’ll see it in Worlds Collide?: Zero. There’s only going to be room for one Superman in the game, and that means they’ll have to go with the classic boy scout look.
