Say what you want, but he was my fav DLC & character in Injustice. I couldn't think of anybody better to be the guest How about another DC character? He also had too much going for him in the gameplay department since the way blocking works in Injustice makes his teleport harder to block than it should. That in addition to his unblockable moves like hellfire, just made him yet another noob-friendly character that nearly everyone online uses.

Scorpion wouldn't even have interest in "fighting superheroes" unless they somehow wronged his family or clan. He's not the worst DLC of the game though; that would probably be Batgirl. Another DC character wouldn't be guest. And if you saw his ending, you'd understand why he's there. I played the computer with him and the teleport was blocked practically every time. So, if the teleport is so hard to block for somebody, they just need some help on how to block. Why you think Batgirl was a bad DLC? lol, the ending. Scorpion owning Trigon, although cool, reeked of a fanboy's fanfiction. Point taken though I suppose.

I didn't say blocking it was impossible, just harder than it should be since you have to change directions when he's about to hit you with the teleport. Just holding backward in your direction (the way you block every other attack in the game) doesn't work. At least with blocking in MK, you can do so without having to worry whether you did so in the right direction or not, and it's worse when you're facing people online who spam it as you're trying to approach them (which would be like 80% of the Scorpion players). Granted, I've beaten them plenty with abuseable tactics of my own, but shouldn't have to. At least with the different fighting variations in MKX, facing Scorpion won't feel like an old book I've read over and over.

Already mentioned why on Batgirl, although she too is pretty abused with spamming her grapple move that hangs you (and the meter burn version that leaves you able to do nothing for a few more seconds while she combos you), which works even when you do teleporting moves of your own.
