Bio:
A malevolent deity from another dimension, Shuma-Gorath does not have a physical form, but he can take the form of things mankind fears. For centuries, he's been wanting to take over Earth, but has been stopped by the hands of either a shaman or a wizard. Now that the One-Earth Regime has taken over, Shuma-Gorath will have to go through his greatest challenge yet.

Powers/Abilities:
*Eldritch physiology
*Reality warping
*Immortality
*Telepathy
*Teleportation
*Mystical powers

Intro/Outro:
*Intro: A purple swirling portal pops up and out jump Shuma-Gorath. Shuma-Gorath says, "I can taste your delicious fear!"
*Outro: Camera cuts to the defeated opponent's POV and Shuma-Gorath's is heard saying, "Your dimension belongs to me now!" and he jumps at the opponent, covering the screen with himself with his tentacles out.

Special Moves:
*Mystical Stare: Shuma-Gorath shoots purple eyeball projectiles at his opponent.
*Mystical Smash: He morphs into a spiky ball and hurdles at his opponent.
*Mystical Ray: He shoots a purple eye beam at his opponent.
*Devitalization: He lifts his opponent, jumps up and slams him/her to the ground.

Character Trait:
*Eye Scream: Shuma-Gorath summons a red and black eyeball that floats around him and acts as his barrier. Goes on for 10 seconds.

Super Move:
*Chaos Dimension: Shuma-Gorath forms a sharp toothed jaw and snaps at his opponent. He then grabs the opponent and floats up. The backgrounds turns all black and shifts to a background of swirling black and purple all over. Shuma Gorath morphs into a ball and traps the opponent inside of himself. He floats up and says, "Welcome to the Chaos Dimension!" as he then drops his opponent down and green swirls start to rise up, hitting the opponent. After all of that is done, the battlefield turns back to normal.

Ending:
During his inter dimensional conquests, Shuma-Gorath found an alternative realm that is run by a one earth government. He sought to overthrow said government and take it over. What he didn't look forward to was two factions in war with each other, the One-Earth Regime and the Insurgency. As an ultimate being of chaos, Shuma-Gorath killed every single inhabitant, be it the Regime or the Insurgency, and wiped out the entire regular population of that universe. Shuma-Gorath has now conquered that world and is seeking to conquer other worlds as well.

I'm back to doing more Injustice guest fighter entries and today's guest fighter comes in a request from :iconsneakylizard:. This is Shuma-Gorath, who many fans of Marvel vs. Capcom will come to recognize. He's one of Dr. Strange's foes and is pretty much Marvel's answer to Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's works.

Trivia:
*The character trait Eye Scream did not originate from any Marvel vs. Capcom game.
*In Batman Inc., Catwoman has had issues with hentai that involves tentacle rape. So this is all reflected with Shuma's clashes with her... I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP! Look it up or read Batman Inc.!
*Fun Fact: Did you know that octopuses are made into cuisines in certain countries? In Japan, octopus tentacles can be made into sushi. In Korea, you can eat live octopi called Sakkanji. So in Shuma's clashes with Deathstroke and Solomon Grundy and even Scorpion, thanks to him resembling an octopus, there are cracks about turning Shuma-Gorath into octopus cuisines.
*Speaking of Solomon Grundy, since Shuma-Gorath is the Cthulhu of the Marvel universe, one clash with Hawkgirl and one clash with Solomon Grundy reference that Justice League episode with a Cthulhu-like demon god, just like with that entry I've done for Cthulhu. Hawkgirl talks about flipping off Shuma and Shuma teases Grundy about his soul and how he appearantly has it with him.
*Nightwing jokingly calls Shuma Octodad, which is a videogame about the titular octopus passing for a human father with a human family.
*If you've seen an episode of Teen Titans Go! where Cyborg and Beast Boy are in the future where responsibility is important as always, Raven has become a savior after destroying her father Trigon and becomes a force of pure energy. Shuma-Gorath references the result from the episode of her stopping Trigon.
*Mister Mind, for those who don't know, is a Shazam villain with an invertebrate physiology.
*Shazam, in a clash with Shuma-Gorath, brings up that his name is NOT Captain Marvel... or at least, not anymore.

I don't know why but I like Shuma-Gorath better than Starro. In fact, Shuma-Gorath is my favorite supervillain!
