MultiVersus' roster leaves one character type in the dust

These days MultiVersus has a pretty strong roster, but even after some great additions over the last few months, one character type is still the outlier.

Smashing the Raven from MultiVersus

As one of DC Comics' most famous magical superheroes MultiVersus“Raven was designed to be a mage/ranged fighter. Here she can cast the summon Azarath Metrion Zinthos to utilize some of her most famous soul self and chaos magic abilities, such as summoning a soul-based raven as a short projectile and stationary threat. Additionally, she can use her chaos magic to momentarily suspend enemies in a black void, create a temporary energy shield, and unleash a wave of chaos magic that engulfs nearby enemies. Similar to her comic and television counterparts, Raven's use of her powers is indicated by the appearance of black circles around her hands.


Just like all other fighters MultiVersusPlayers can customize Raven with multiple outfits based on her different incarnations. A gameplay trailer for Raven showed her in a standard MultiVersus outfit, in a casual outfit based on her appearance from the Teen Titans: Raven Comic by Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo and in an outfit based on her appearance in the animated film Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. A larger, redesigned version of Superman, based on his form possessed by the Trigon demon Apokolips War is also shown fighting Raven in the Azarath Metrion Zinthos event. If she is dealt enough damage, Raven's magic will consume her, revealing her four-eyed demonic face of her father Trigon and granting a temporary increase in her speed, damage dealt, and knockback.

Raven is equipped with 15 moves including:


  • The Dash Attack Shadow Flight
  • The normal ground neutral attack Azarath Metrion Zinthos
  • The normal ground attack-shadow combo
  • The basic ground attack “Telekinetic Barrage”.
  • The normal ground-down attack Back Off!
  • The normal air neutral attack protection aura
  • The normal airside attacks are Shadow Tendrils
  • The basic air attack “Shadow Whip”.
  • The basic air attack “Shadow Slash”.
  • The special ground and air attack Quoth the Raven…
  • The special ground and air neutral attack Soul Self-Projection
  • The special group attacks Gravity Well
  • The special ground and air attack Soul-Self Shield
  • The special airstrike Wings of Shadow
  • The passive attack is a magical countermeasure

Adventure time
having the second most fighters with a total of four fighters.


Raven's potential influence in MultiVersus

While Raven is the first member of the Teen Titans to join MultiVersus As a playable fighter, her popularity could lead to every Teen Titan eventually being added to the game. In DC Comics, the Teen Titans usually consist of sidekicks and other lesser-known young heroes, such as Green Arrow's sidekick Roy “Speedy” Harper, young Amazon Donna Troy, Wally West Kid Flash, and more. However, the more common and popular members of the Teen Titans typically include Dick Grayson Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg. While this cast originally appeared in the comics, it became popular in 2003 Teen Titans Animated series, 2013 Teen Titans go! Animated series and the year 2018 Titans Live-action series.


Given that Teen Titans or Titans Comics are still around and the Teen Titans go! Since the series is still in production and is the longest-running DC show to date, it would make sense for Warner Bros. to capitalize on that popularity by introducing the rest of the Titans MultiVersus to fight alongside Raven. Player First Games could introduce Beast Boy next, as he often has a close relationship with Raven and his ability to transform into any animal could be a good fit MultiVersus'crazy design. MultiVersus could then introduce Robin as a companion to Batman and feature outfits worn by Nightwing and any other Robin. Finally, Warner Bros. could add Cyborg and Starfire as tank and ranged fighters to balance out the game's lineup. While this is just speculation, it would be a given that the Teen Titans content would be retained if the newly released Raven proves popular.
