Updated: Ed Boon Tweeted another image today showing that Powergirl received the third fewest votes in the unofficial poll. Boon mentioned that the first three characters listed in the image netting the least votes is merely a coincidence and not an indication that the results will continue on in that pattern.
Ed Boon recently announced that the unofficial DLC poll for Injustice: Gods Among Us had been closed on his Twitter. While doing so, he also gave what appears to be a subtle hint towards Static Shock being one of the top voted characters.
He then posted an image of the poll results, with all characters are blacked out except for the one with the least votes Blue Beetle.
Unofficial Injusitce DLC poll is closed. Thanks to the many thousands of you who participated !! Will announce results soon! Don't be shocked!
