Simon Belmont (Injustice Guest)

"'Witness the power of the Belmont Clan.'" Simon Belmont is a DLC Guest Playable Character in Injustice 2.

Biography
Simon comes from the Belmont clan, a bloodline of hunters with immense power that have engaged in combat against Dracula for centuries. Wielding the sacred Vampire Killer whip, he storms Dracula's Castle in 1691, defeating several of his minions and the vampire himself. Simon heads to the castle after Dracula was resurrected by an evil cult on the evening of April 15, 1691 (Easter Sunday of that year), spilling fresh blood and crushing a freshly extracted human heart over the Count's ashes. Simon defeats Dracula in the castle keep, and watches from a distance as the castle collapses.

Jack was away training and studying a map of Entity's Castle, before seeing smoke rising in the direction of his hometown, Aljiba. Rushing there on horseback and briefly encountering Death, Jack finds his hometown in flames and his fiancée, Heather kidnapped by the newly resurrected Freddy and his army of monsters. Entering the castle halls and avoiding a grotesque monster known as the Behemoth, Jack rescues Heather's son, Dylan porter and the two team up to stop Freddy and save Heather, rescuing Iris, the daughter of a doctor, and Tera, the village nun.

 * Challenged (second to talk): Simon swings into the stage with his whip and then puts it on his holster.

Post-Round Stance
Simon holds his whip lengthwise and spins it around himself twice before cracking it on the ground next to him, saying "The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night."

Defeated Pose

Outro

Character Trait
Stopwatch: Simon pulls out a stopwatch and uses it to stop time for 10 seconds, allowing him to attack his opponent while they're freezed in place.

Super-Move
Grand Cross: Simon tightens his whip, engulfing it in flames and then attacks his opponent by whipping them. If hit, Simon will summon a coffin in-front of him and pulls his opponent towards it, closing it to trap them within. He then grabs the coffin with his whip, before swinging it in a wide arc to toss it skyward into the air, where it goes flying in-front of the moon. Simon then hunches over before flexing powerful back with his chest pushed upwards and arms bent, exclaiming "Grand Cross!" as a number of magical crucifixes made of energy erupt from the ground and attack the coffin holding Simon's opponent.
