Summary
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguehas been officially out for a week outside of the 72-hour early access for those who purchased the deluxe edition of the game, and players are already looking at possible endgame and post-launch support from Rocksteady. BetweenSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leagueleaks and the post-campaign screen showing what’s coming with the four planned seasons so far, players already know Joker is next in line when it comes to new playable characters, starting with season one. After that, It seems players will be able to play as a new Task Force X member, this time controlling some version of Mr. Freeze - most likely, an Elseworlds version called Victoria Fries - and that is bad news for another iconic DC villain.
GivenSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’s player numbers on Steam, it seems the title is struggling to get a good start, and seasons after the four planned so far may get the short end of the stick. Hopefully, the game recovers in the long run, as the potential for a good looter-shooter is already there, and new characters may help. In that case, after the leaked Victoria Fries, Lawless, and Deathstroke, it may be hard to justify adding Squad members whose abilities are too similar to the current cast, and Killer Frost could be put on the chopping block.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguehas incredibly vast source material to draw from for its villains and heroes alike, and the Elseworlds endgame premise is good enough to make the most of creative ideas. Still,Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’s gameplayhas to abide by certain rules that current and future Squad members cannot really change, meaning each TSX character will need to have some unique abilities and mostly focus on gunplay outside of that.
Mr. Freeze and his variants would be a great starting point because he does a bit of both, and the leakedVictoria Fries forSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguecould easily follow suit. With huge potential for a unique traversal method using cold-based powers and existing depictions of Mr. Freeze using guns, including a freezing weapon capable of shooting icy gusts, it makes sense to have this DC villain as a Squad member.
It’s worth noting that there’s a major difference in how Mr. Freeze (and thus any alternate version of him) and Killer Frost’s powers work. The former is the source of cold and freezing abilities, whereas Killer Frost needs sources of heat to transform into cold.
