Over the weekend, we saw the official gameplay reveal of Raiden in Injustice 2. The trailer also showcased the Black Lightning premium skin for the character, which will be given to Ultimate Edition owners for free in October.

In Injustice 2, these premium skins take the foundation of a character and change their look to that of a similar, but different character complete with their own voice actor and lines. After watching the Raiden trailer, fans were left wondering how Black Lightning's super might appear, since the hard-hitting move features a giant Mortal Kombat dragon.

The official Injustice 2 Twitter account released a clip showing the super move in action, and it is indeed different than Raiden's. Instead of a dragon, Black Lightning utilizes a giant electrical hand to beat down his opponent.

This is mirrored in Black Lightning's win pose, as Raiden's also features the dragon.

Black Lightning's super also loses the stormy bridge scenery featured in Raiden's in exchange for using whatever stage the players are battling on.

Below, we have included both supers for comparison's sake.
