When compared to its predecessor, WWE 2K22gets a lot of things right. For example, the game takes content creation to brand-new heights, with players able to add just about anybody they can think of into the game. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the bulk of these custom Superstars are based on former WWE wrestlers, but there's also an incredibly impressive selection of superheroes and villains on offer as well.

Much like the latest iteration of Smash Bros., everyone is here, though finding the best superheroes and villains in WWE 2K22's Community Creations area can be a little tricky. This is because not all of them use the hashtags one might expect them to, making it difficult to search for them directly. However, this guide will provide Content IDs, hashtags, and creator names for all of the best comic book creations, which should hopefully make life a little easier.

Spider-Man

Perhaps the greatest superhero of all time, Spider-Man also happens to be one of the most popular creations in WWE 2K22, aside from former wrestlers, that is. There are some surprisingly detailed creations to choose from, but the pick of the bunch arguably comes from creator SuplexRaiderJP, whose excellent use of alternate attires deserves to be commended.

Doctor Strange

With a new Doctor Strange movie due out in just a few short months, it's unsurprising to see Steven Strange making an appearance in WWE 2K22. He does so courtesy of MARCOANDTARMA, one of the most skilled and prolific creators out there when it comes to designing superheroes and villains. Doctor Strange is arguably one of their very best creations, though there are a few other strong candidates for that title as well.

Batman

Those who prefer DC to Marvel may like this excellent recreation of Batman, which was put together by somebody called thecomedian. If not though, there are plenty of other Batman-themed superstars available, between them offering numerous iterations of the caped crusader's iconic Batsuit from the Batman comics and movies.

The Joker

Batman and Joker are two sides of the same coin, and so it only seems fitting that the latter also makes an appearance in WWE 2K22. Creator JBraska based theirs on Heath Ledger's version of the character, but there are plenty of other iterations available as well. Most notably, there's an incredibly accurate version of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker available thanks to a creator called SuplexHouseTLC, which fans of the 2019 movie may well prefer.

Harley Quinn

Whether Harley Quinn even counts as a villain anymore is perhaps debatable, but, thanks in large to Margot Robbie's excellent portrayal of the character and the ease with which she can be cosplayed, there can be no denying her popularity. With that in mind, it's a little surprising that there aren't a few more Harley Quinns in WWE 2K22, though, thanks to PrincessZelda's fantastic effort, there's not much of a need for more.

Robin

Nobody really came out of Joel Schumacher's Batman movies looking particularly good, but Robin took a bit more flack than most. So much so that he hasn't featured much in any of the modern Batman movies, despite finding some success in Titans. Fans of the boy wonder do still exist, however, as evidenced by HiFlyerRabbitzZz's fantastic WWE 2K22 creation.

Deadpool

Another popular character who's so far struggled to break into their respective cinematic universe is Deadpool, the merc with the mouth. Unlike Robin though, Deadpool has found plenty of success in his own solo movies and even has a couple of video games under his belt as well. MARCOANDTARMA created this excellent rendition of the character, which even boasts the character's iconic katanas while entering the ring.

Captain America

One character who didn't have too much trouble breaking into the Marvel Cinematic Universe was Captain America. Other than perhaps Iron Man (who is also available in WWE 2K22), it's hard to think of a character who's made quite as big an impression on the MCU. With that in mind, it only seems fitting that he's been created in WWE 2K22; once again, by MARCOANDTARMA.

Peacemaker

Given that the character is played by John Cena, whose likeness is already in WWE 2K22, it always seemed somewhat inevitable that players would create Peacemaker. Many people have already tried their hand at doing so, but one of the best comes courtesy of creator WoweeZoweeESP.

Thanos

Speaking of inevitable, it was always just a matter of time until somebody created Thanos. That person was BeautifulWorshipperLTD, who, unlike some of the movies, managed to get the color of the terrifying Titan's skin just right. For those looking to recreate the events of Infinity War and Endgame in the ring, this custom superstar is essential.

WWE 2K22 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
