Superman Super Move

Superman starting his Super Move, "Kryptonian Smash".

Super Move, also known as Super Attack[1], Supermove[2] or just Super, is the ability that all characters can unlock once they have reached level 20 and unlocked the previous ability (special 2) for 5000 Power Credits. They cost 3 power bars for each use. They are occasionally included in the term Special Attacks[3] but they are generally considered a different class of attacks.

Defending against a Super Move.

A Super Move, unlike specials, do not require additional swiping and tapping; tapping the Super Move icon will immediately initiate it for full damage, 150% of the card's Damage stat at minimum, 247.5% once fully upgraded, and they are all unblockable. In Online Battles, Super Moves can be resisted for up to 50% of their damage (via a tap bar like tap to shoot specials, but linear, wider, and horizontal); there will be a count down during the super animation displaying the time (3, 2, 1) for the tap.

All versions of the same character have the same super move, although their passives may grant it unique effects (and for others, cosmetic changes):

Certain characters can also reduce Super Move damage without resisting:

Batman's Super Move is unique in which it is affected by the Militarized Batmobile gear, which grants it three unique effects.

Invulnerability will fully negate Super Move damage. It is particularly effective given how Super Moves take place in an instant in-universe, so a minimal amount of Invulnerability time is required to negate it. Universal damage reduction will reduce super damage.

Superman/Man of Steel's passive used to affect his Super Move as well, giving it a 30% chance of not using any power. This has since been removed and now it only affects Special Attacks. Super Move doesn't trigger Tantu Totem's effects.

AI in Standard Battle, Challenge Mode, or Survivor do not have the third bar of power unlocked and cannot use Super Moves. AI in multiplayer can, albeit rarely.

Using a Super Move will transport both characters to the center of the stage. This affects Cyborg's infinite heavy combo, which can only be done if there is space behind his opponent to be knocked back into. Many specials also become possible to combo into basic attacks if there is no space behind your opponent.

Comparison to special 2[]

Assuming an average of 25% resisted in multiplayer and not accounting for any other effects, an unblocked special 2 that reaches more than 125% damage with its taps/swipes will be more efficient in dealing damage than a super move, and reaching over 187.5% will do more damage than a super move. In single-player, reaching 166.7% on the special 2 will be more efficient in dealing damage than the super move.

Additionally, specials have much more options and special effects than super moves including gear, and power that goes over 3 bars will be wasted when opting for super moves while it will be saved when using specials. However, as super moves cannot be blocked and does not require focused swiping or tapping, they are still very popular in casual play.

Also, while specials have more beneficial effects, Super Moves often bypass mechanics that protect against specials, such as Reverse Flash, Batman/Dawn of Justice, Superman/Injustice 2 and The Flash/Wally West Rebirth's passives, have limitless range, and ignores special-invulnerability (if a Special Attack and a Super Move is used at the same time, the Super Move user will interrupt the special and take no damage, while the special user will take damage as normal).

Trivia[]

  • The Super Move can always be used during the tutorial. It can be done by any character to preview their move, even though they may not have reached level 20 or have it unlocked.
  • Batmans' super moves have different animations. Batman Beyond and Animated Batman Beyond have a futuristic vehicle instead of a regular Batmobile, and Arkham Knight Batman has the Batmobile from Batman: Arkham Knight. Other characters' super moves may also have different particles and recolors, such as with multiple Blackest Night characters.
    • Upon activating a super move, the character gains a brief burst of a colored aura, same as in the console game; however, Green Arrow's aura is green in console but orange in mobile, while Shazam's aura is white in console but gold in mobile. Hawkgirl/Blackest Night and Superman/Blackest Night has their aura recolored to bluish purple to match their necrotic theme.
    • Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan on console has his Super Move transport his opponent to a unique landscape on Qward instead of Oa. However, on Injustice Mobile, it uses a reskin of Green Lantern's Super Move background with the yellow central battery and the Guardians removed. Red Lantern Hal Jordan also has a reskinned background, with the red central battery, but the Guardian are not removed.
Superbug-0
  • It is not possible to pause during a Super Move. If you switch off the screen, it will continue to run and pause right after the Super Move ends.
  • Upon activating a super move right as you knock an opponent out, the KO'd enemy can be seen behind your character, flopping to the ground. Similarly, if a teammate of The Batman Who Laughs tags in and immediately use a super, Savage Robin can be seen behind them lunging towards their opponent. Raven's health swap visual effect is also visible if she uses a super right after.
  • Finishing a fight with Super Move will result in the camera focus on the user instead of the knocked out character.
  • Super Moves on console are different between Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2 for the same characters. Aquaman and Superman are playable in both Injustice games, but Aquaman/Injustice 2 and Superman/Injustice 2 retained their supers from the first game. Darkseid is the first mobile exclusive character and has a unique super; it is different in Injustice 2. Deadshot is technically released in Injustice Mobile first, but he was revealed for Injustice 2 around the same time, and has the same super (however, the names are different, "Assassin's Code" and "Never Miss"). Martian Manhunter is playable in Injustice: Gods Among Us, but is mobile exclusive in Injustice 2; he also retained the same super.
  • Martian Manhunter briefly shapeshifts into the likeness of his opponent upon using his Super Move.
