Building on the blockbuster announcement of its DC KO event last July, DC Comics has now unveiled the complete 32-fighter roster set to compete for the title of King Omega.
The reveal gives fans their first look at the diverse lineup of heroes and villains who will be forced to battle in a universe-altering tournament.
The lineup features a stunning mix of DC's heaviest hitters, cunning strategists, and chaotic wild cards, setting the stage for unpredictable and brutal matchups. The combatants are:
* Powergirl
* Superman
* Lex Luthor
* Supergirl
* Damian Wayne
* Batman
* Jason Todd
* Batwoman
* Plastic Man
* Aquaman
* Harley Quinn
* Lobo
* Metamorpho
* Wonder Woman
* Swamp Thing
* Firestorm
* Black Lightning
* Guy Gardner
* Giganta
* Captain Atom
* Jay Garrick
* Cheetah
* Cyborg
* Big Barda
* Connor Hawke
* Star Sapphire
* Vixen
* Zatanna
* King Shark
* Hawkman
* Etrigan
* Starro
The reveal of who is fighting adds a new layer of gravity to the stakes of the tournament. The single surviving champion will be imbued with enough Omega energy to fight a fused Darkseid/Spectre entity. As event architect Scott Snyder warned during the initial announcement, “You have to be merciless to win. And when you’re out, you’re out.”
Co-architect Joshua Williamson’s previous comments also take on new meaning now that the combatants are known. “Each level is a new challenge," Williamson stated. "Readers are going to see unexpected fighters rise in ways they won’t see coming."
With the fighters now confirmed, DC has announced it will roll out official bracket breakdowns, fighter spotlights, and previews of the opening round matchups in the weeks ahead, fueling speculation on who might ultimately claim the crown.
