This time around we played the demo as a villain and had some powerful accomplices in the form of several non-playable characters including The Joker, Harley Quinn, Bizarro, Solomon Grundy, and Lex Luthor.
In the mission a virus outbreak has occurred at Luthor's S.T.A.R. (Scientific and Technical Advanced Research) Labs. While DC heroes aim to contain the outbreak and find a cure, Luthor wants to use the virus for his own purposes and as part of his team you can infect innocent S.T.A.R. staff to turn them into mind-controlled mutants and use them to attack aggressive mutants not yet under your control. We had to fight a number of low-level S.T.A.R. officers directly, and we soon encountered an oversized, heavily-armoured S.T.A.R. captain which was proved to be more challenging. Thankfully he was no match for our super powers, however, and in addition to these we also used weaponised items, in this case an explosive barrel, to damage him.
