(Photo: Warner Bros. Interactive/Covergirl)This past Friday, Injustice 2 pulled back the curtain on its first three (of nine) DLC characters, including Starfire, Red Hood, and Sub-Zero of Mortal Kombat fame. Did one of those characters, specifically Starfire, look oddly familiar to you? Obviously, Starfire looks like the comic book character, but does she also look like a real-life celebrity? Well, one real-life celeb sure thinks she does!
Disney Channel and Spider-Man: Homecoming star Zendaya just randomly took notice of Injustice 2(shes never mentioned the game before) for, supposedly, lifting her likeness for Starfire.
Am I tripping or is that my face lmao😂

Here's the Injustice 2 tweet she was referring to. Do you think there's a resemblance?
I can kind of see it. That said, according to Zendaya the comparison doesnt extend below the shoulders.
Hey, by NetherRealm game standards, Starfire could probably join Zendaya on the committee. Theyre not so much for the realistic proportions. That aside, does Zendaya have a case about the facial resemblance? Starfire does have a certain Zendaya-like vibe going in the picture she retweeted, but its much less obvious in this closer look at the characters face.
(Photo: Warner Bros. Interactive)Did some NetherRealm artist secretly sneak a little Zendaya into their Starfire design? Its certainly a possibility. Either way, Im sure NetherRealm is perfectly okay with one of the most popular people on the Internet tweeting about their game. Honestly, they should have done more of this. Make Catwoman look like Selina Gomez and Black Adam look like The Rock. You cant buy that kind of advertising.
Injustice 2 brawls its way onto the Xbox One and PS4 on May 16.
