This is unique to Super-Villains. The DLC doesn't just give you new toys; it gives your custom character new powers. By beating the DLC levels, you unlock "Tier 2" abilities for your custom villain (e.g., Necromancy from JL Dark, Invisibility from Young Justice). To 100% the customizer, you need all the DLC.

Before diving into files, let’s assess the current state of the game on Nintendo’s hybrid console.

Objective 2: The Secret Stash (The DLC) "Now," ModderMan continued, "You’re missing the best weapons. The DLC (Downloadable Content) isn't just extra missions; it’s the best part of the villain experience."
