DC has revealed all the participants in the DC K.O. tournament, a big storyline that begins this fall and finds DC’s heroes (and some villains) competing for the honor of becoming King Omega.
Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson are tag-teaming on the storyline, with Snyder writing the main event and Williamson working on the undercard in titles like Superman and Knightfight. Snyder will be joined by Javi Fernandez on the main miniseries, while Dan Mora did the tournament bracket cover that reveals who is all in for the fight:
“You have to be merciless to win,” said Snyder. “And when you’re out, you’re out.”
As you can see above, the tournament will include Power Girl, Superman, Lex Luthor, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Guy Gardner, Giganta, Captain Atom, Robin (Damian Wayne), Batman, Red Hood, Batwoman, Jay Garrick, Cheetah, Cyborg, Big Barda, Plastic Man, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, Lobo, Conner Hawke, Star Sapphire, Vixen, Zatanna, Metamorpho, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Firestorm, King Shark, Hawkman, The Demon and Starro.
They’ll be fighting each other in order to “level up” and gain the power to defeat Darkseid — the final boss in this whole thing. “The bracket tournament pits heroes against one another in escalating battles—each round unlocking new power, new consequences and new revelations,” DC said in the press release.
DC K.O. #1 (of 5) arrives in stores Oct. 8.
