(Reuters) - Wimbledon women’s champion Garbine Muguruza says she will savour her victory in order to prevent a similar slump in form to the one she suffered after winning the French Open in 2016.

Speculation is rife that even an alternate Spider-Man or two may even pop up from their respective Universes to lend the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of the character a hand in defeating the multiversal bad guys. While a popular concept in science-fiction tales for decades, the concept of a multiverse actually originates from science theory, with many researchers speculating that other universes may exist alongside our own.

All the characters on the roster fall under the umbrella of Warner Bros’ Discovery and span series including Game of Thrones, Scooby-Doo, Cartoon Network, and of course DC Comics.

While players love getting their hands on Superman and Batman, there are also some lesser known heroes that could be great additions. Specifically, the members of Doom Patrol would fit right into the game. Each of them are unique and play host to some wild powers, and adding them to MultiVersus would be a great way to advertise the upcoming fourth season of the HBO Max Original Doom Patrol....
