    Origin Crisis DLC
    Origin Crisis picks up where Lightning Strikes and The Battle for Earth left off. Having secured different dimensional pockets within the Nexus of Reality, Future Lex Luthor and Future Batman wage a war across time to manipulate the Origins of DC Universe Online’s most notable heroes and notorious villains.

    New Power: Quantum!
    Quantum Powers allow you to manipulate time, control gravity, and even twist the very fabric of space itself. Used for both Damage and Controller Roles, Quantum Powers split into two trees, Time and Space. Time gives the players the ability to manipulate the flow of time to control their enemies’ future. Space empowers players to bring their enemies to their knees by generating and controlling gravitons.

    Create a new character and choose Quantum as your Power or choose “Captain Atom” or “Major Force” as your Inspiration. You can also respec the Power Type on an existing character by purchasing a Respec Token: Power Type in the Marketplace.

    New Operations!
    Fight your way through time and influence the Origin of Superman! Experience an Alternate Metropolis, and travel to Krypton during it’s very last moments. Affect Batman’s origin in an Alternate Gotham City, and travel back to that fateful night, in Crime Alley. Open your On Duty Menu and look for “Brothers in Arms” and “Family Reunion” under the 4 Player tab.
    Combat Rating: 84

    New Raids!
    Players receive two new 8 Player Raids!
    Follow Future Batman and Future Lex Luthor to the Nexus of Reality at the center of the Earth, and find out what part you’ll play in their war across time and reality. Open your On Duty Menu and look for Nexus of Reality under the 8 Player tab.
    Combat Rating: 86

    There is a cost to disrupting time and space, and consequences even Future Lex Luthor and Future Batman have not anticipated. Can you stop this new threat before reality itself is destroyed? Open your On Duty Menu and look for Paradox Wave under the 8 Player tab.
    Combat Rating: 86

    Iconic Anomaly Challenges!
    Do you ever ask yourself, “What if?” Step in to a simulation to become Bizarro or The Huntress and find out. You’ll get to re-enact a significant event related to that character’s history. Open your On Duty Menu and look for “The Hunt” or “Test Subject #1” under the 1 Player tab.
    Combat Rating: 84

    New Gear!
    New Gear includes suits inspired by Aquaman (Hero PvE), Black Manta (Villain PvE), Booster Gold (Shared PvE) and a suit digitally imprinted from the future (Shared PvE).

    New Collections and Feats!
    Earn new Collections and Feats by completing Origin Crisis content. Collections award new appearance items based on Origin Crisis.

    New Research and Development Mods!
    Advance your gear with the latest in research with Tier V Mods, and for the first time, those who beat the toughest challenges have a chance to earn Tier V Expert Mods!

    New Consumables!
    Players can now create Tier V Consumables!

    New Character Select Background!
    Players can now select the Nexus of Reality as their Character Selection background.
