Black Adam and Stripe are joining the Multiversus roster

[UPDATE: The MultiVersus Twitter has officially announced Black Adam and Stripe now!]

Multiversus Season 1 launches today, with a handful of balance updates and characters coming along with it. Morty from Rick and Morty is set to join the roster, and other characters are on the way as well. Another set of fighters soon joining Multiversus is DC Comics superhero Black Adam and Gremlins villain Stripe.

The news hasn’t been officially announced yet, although the news did break from an official source. Let me explain: the plan for Multiversus character reveals involves teasing them on the main menu screen. It looks like the promo image featuring Stripe and Black Adam went live earlier today.

Eagle-eyed fans picked up on the image and shared it via Twitter, with @_FireMonkey being the first to drop the news. See their Tweet below:

Black Adam and Stripe are heading to Multiversus

Although the characters have been all but officially confirmed by now, we don’t know when exactly they’re going to drop. Lead developer Tony Huynh appeared to say that they’re part of Season 1, but we shouldn’t expect to see these two for a least a few weeks. The initial roster is already fairly solid, so while we may have to wait a bit for Black Adam and Stripe to arrive, Multiversus certainly isn’t hurting without them.

Black Adam’s inclusion makes a ton of sense, seeing as how the character is getting his own film adaptation starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Stripe may seem like more of an oddball addition at first, but an animated Gremlins series titled Secrets of the Mogwai is on the way. Even without those tie-in projects, it’s still great to see some more under-represented choices in Multiversus in addition to staple characters.

Are you going to be playing as either Black Adam or Stripe when they launch on Multiversus? Who do you hope gets added next? Let us know!
