Summary
Mortal Kombat 1has had some pretty high-profile crossovers that include special characters from other franchises, and the addition of DC’s Peacemaker has been one of the game’s most recent additions. These crossovers inMortal Kombat 1have been fun ways for new characters to be included in the game, and Peacemaker has been an exciting character to play as.
Peacemaker is not only a compelling character, he’s also hilarious. The humor ofPeacemaker has been beautifully brought to lifeby actor and former wrestler John Cena, and going head-to-head against iconicMortal Kombatcharacters, like Quan Chi and Liu Kang, while using John Cena’s likeness has been hilariously fun. However, John Cena’s recent appearance at this year’s Oscars has some fans making a surprising request when it comes toMortal Kombat 1’s Peacemaker skin.
Some Fans Want A Strange Update To Peacemaker Skin
Although the overall appearance of thePeacemaker skin inMortal Kombat 1completely nails the looks of the costume from his TV show andThe Suicide Squad, some fans have been wanting the game to add a tribute to Cena’s outfit, or lack thereof, from The Oscars. The now-viral moment from The Oscars showcased John Cena completely naked on live television, and there have now been requests from some players to make this an option for Peacemaker’s skin.
John Cena Bares All At The Oscars
For those unfamiliar with the stunt, John Cena presented the award for best costume design at The Oscars completely nude, with only an envelope covering his nether regions. This moment ended up being one of the most talked about parts of the awards show as the hilarious situation took many viewers by surprise. Through the years, it’s been made clear thatJohn Cena has a solid sense of humor, and his naked debut at The Oscars was a hit.
Ed Boon Addresses Requests From Players
EvenMortal Kombat 1’s director, Ed Boon, recently made an official statement regarding the requests from fans. In an official tweet, Ed Boon claimed that a shocking number of players have been requesting that John Cena naked at The Oscars should be an option added to the Peacemaker skin. There have been hopes forMortal Kombat 1to add new skinsfrom other franchises, but these recent requests for a naked Peacemaker skin are astounding.
There is apparently already a mod that showcases Peacemaker only in his underwear, meaning that a mod inspired by John Cena’s nude Oscars moment isn’t that far from reality.The introduction of PeacemakertoMortal Kombat 1has been a fun new addition to the game’s roster, but it’s safe to assume that Ed Boon probably didn’t expect that some fans would be requesting a naked version of the DC antihero. John Cena’s viral moment has been all over the internet, and although it makes sense that some fans would request this version of the Peacemaker skin since it would be a funny update, it’s still surprising that so many players have asked for this that the game’s director was moved to make a statement about the situation.
Peacemaker’s Future in Mortal Kombat 1
Despite how hilarious it would be, it’s highly unlikely that the Peacemaker skin will get a John Cena at the Oscars version added to the game. Although the skin likely won’t get an official version added, it wouldn’t be surprising if a mod happened to pop up sometime in the near future. Until someone decides to make that mod, players can still enjoy the safe-for-workversion of Peacemakerwhen playingMortal Kombat 1.
