As for abilities, Black Adam has Lighting Surge, which will “unleash electric power to SHOCK enemies and ELECTRIFY allies.”
Next, there’s Aton’s Havoc, which allows Black Adam to grab and shock enemies with a jumping beam of lightning. Finally, there’s Heru’s Flight, which lets Black Adam briefly gain the ability to fly in any direction.
Alongside Black Adam comes the addition of Classic Arcade Mode Alpha, which lets players fight through a gauntlet of different character variants. Additionally, Silly Queue will be added to the game, which is meant to serve as a more casual game mode going forward.

Appearance
Risotto Nero is a 28-year-old man of above average height and possess a muscular build.
He wears a black, hood-like headpiece from which hang several small, metallic baubles, bearing letters that make up his name. This piece hides his hair; though his light bangs (originally dark) almost reach his eyebrows. Light-eyed, his sclera are completely black.
Bare-chested, he wears a long, black, lapelless coat with straps crossing his chest in an X; and pants in thick horizontal stripes of black and white.
When first revealed in a photo, Risotto did not have his hood (or it did not frame his face closely enough) and wore dark lipstick.

MultiVersus Celebrates the Release of Stripe from Gremlins with New Trailer
Wait… What time is it?! Mother of god… what have we done? Next week is going to get a bit chaotic. #MultiVersus pic.twitter.com/xgr1QtIQX6— MultiVersus (@multiversus) October 7, 2022
Stripe, the main antagonist from the Gremlins franchise, is available now as the latest playable character in the free-to-play platform fighter MultiVersus. Check out the trailer to see the Assassin class character in action, including abilities like claw attacks, as well as a range of weapons Stripe uses, including a buzzsaw, chainsaw, dynamite, and a skateboard.
“Not everyone follows the Mogwai rules… and that’s when you get gremlins. Stripe is one of history’s most infamous “turned” Mogwai, having been the ringleader of the “Kingston Falls Christmas Terror” in 1984. Plucked from the timeline shortly before his defeat at the hands of his “father” Gizmo; this harbinger of chaos, lover of destruction, and maker of mayhem should fit in quite nicely here… if he doesn’t blow himself up first.”
Oh wow, again, some new characters for Xenoverse 2, Gohan Ultimate and Gamma 1.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Reveals New DLC Characters Gohan And Gamma 1
Joining Gamma 2 in DLC Pack 1, comes the powerful Gamma 1 AND Gohan (DBS Super Hero)!
The “Hero of Justice Pack” will be followed by Pack 2, which is expected to release in the fall of 2022. Besides that, it is safe to assume that more characters from the movie, such as Vegeta, Trunks, or Dr. Hero, could appear in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 through the second DLC set.
The announcement was made through a short trailer that featured the Gammas fighting Piccolo in an intense battle. As seen in the trailer, Gamma 1 excels at long-range attacks rather than martial arts, in contrast to Gohan Ultimate. He is, however, skilled in close combat, employing serial attacks to prevent Piccolo from creating combos. The trailer also showcases Gohan rushing to Piccolo’s aid as his friend is about to lose the battle. As Dragon Ball fans might expect, these four characters will square off against each other as part of the DLC.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker – Official Konohamaru Sarutobi (Boruto) DLC Trailer
Konohamaru Sarutobi is the grandson of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is a jounin level shinobi and the leader of Team Konohamaru. He taught Boruto Uzumaki the rasengan which he learned from his mentor Naruto Uzumaki.
Konohamaru was born into the Sarutobi clan and was named after Konoha by his grandfather. While being raised by his Anbu parents, Konohamaru was never referred to by his name by the villagers, only ever called “Honourable Grandson” (お孫様, Omago-sama) because of his relationship to the Hokage. Wanting to be acknowledged as a person and not simply the Hokage’s grandson, Konohamaru began trying to defeat Hiruzen in order to replace him as Hokage.
