The publisher has revealed that Vampirella, Sub-Zero, Homelander, Red Sonja, Annabelle from The Conjuring, and Samantha Strong from Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees are all going to involve somehow. This is a huge announcement and it has readers excited for what might be coming, including perhaps some other comic characters joining the fray. These eight comic characters from across the comic industry would be amazing in DC K.O.
8) Rubin Bakshi from Rare Flavours
The indie comic market is full of amazing stories, introducing readers to wonderful characters. One of the best of the last few years is Rare Flavours, by Ram V and Filipe Andrade, which introduced readers to the rakshasa, an Indian demon, named Rubin Bakshi. Rubin loves humanity and food, often at the same time, and wanted to become the new Anthony Bourdain., taking documentarian Mo on a food tour across India While Rubin isn’t a fighter, he is a demon, so he capacity for great violence when he needs to. Ram V does much of his best work with DC Comics, so it would be awesome if Rubin showed up in DC K.O., wanting to rebuild the world into a place where food is art.
7) Etienne from The Power Fantasy
The Power Fantasy is a brilliant comic from Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard. The book follows the Superpowers as they awaken across the world, and the price the world pays for them. It’s all very much X-Men, and there are some powerful characters in the story. One of the most important, and powerful, Superpowers is Etienne. Etienne is a powerful telepath, basically the Professor X of The Power Fantasy. Etienne isn’t much of a fighter, instead using his powers to manipulate others to do his bidding, all to service his mysterious plan. This would make him a very interesting addition to DC K.O., which doesn’t have many telepaths to stop Etienne. Etienne would bring a new dynamic to the story of DC K.O. and would make an amazing addition.
6) The Goon
The Goon was created by writer/artist Eric Powell. He’s a simple character — he shows up, cracks heads, and leaves. He’s an old school tough guy, and he’s perfect for DC K.O.. He’s just a dude who fights monsters and bad guys. He’s a goon. The Goon showing up in DC K.O. would be a lot of fun. The Goon is the kind of character who would probably have a problem with characters like Superman, the Flash, or Giganta, but it would be awesome to see him try his best to take them down anyway. Powell has worked for DC in the past, so this would be an awesome surprise for fans of the Goon.
5) Radiant Black
Radiant Black is the main character of Kyle Higgins’ Massive-Verse, one of the best new superhero universes created in the 21st century. Radiant Black is Nathan Burnett (the mantle would later be taken up by friend Marshall, who has the same powers, and was voted into the mantle by the fans), who gains enhanced strength, speed, and gravity based powers after finding a small black hole. Radiant Black is a powerful hero with cool powers, and would make an awesome addition to DC K.O. He doesn’t have the experience that some of the other characters in DC K.O. have, but his unique powers and experience would make him a great combatant.
