Name: Betelgeuse--a.k.a. "Beetlejuice"
Gender: Male
Eyes: Black
Hair: Greenish-yellow
Debut: Beetlejuice (1988)
Voice: Stephen Ouimette

Class: Power

History: A malevolent, devious, and obnoxious spirit, Betelgeuse, better known as Beetlejuice, claims to be the afterlife's leading bio-exorcist, removing the living from places that are already occupied by ghosts. He can only be summoned by saying his name three times.

Powers/Abilities:
-Shape-shifting
-Dark magic
-Hand-to-hand combat
-Immortality

Intro: In a dark room, a young woman calls out Beetlejuice's name three times. He then appears on the battlefield, brushes dust off the arms of his suit, and says, "It’s showtime!"

Taunt: Beetlejuice does a spinning dance move a la Michael Jackson, either laughing crazily or saying "Yeah!"

Outro: Beetlejuice laughs, then vanishes. He is shown sitting on top of a large tombstone which reads "Here Lies Betelgeuse" in large red letters with an arrow pointing down.

Special Moves:
Dodge-Skull: Beetlejuice hurls a skull at the opponent.
Test Your Strength: Beetlejuice's hand becomes a large mallet, which he uses to clobber the opponent.
Bugging Out: Beetlejuice summons a horde of insects to attack the opponent.
You're Boned: Similar to the Joker's Crowbar attack, Beetlejuice beats his opponent with a large bone.

Character Power:
Ghost with the Most: Beetlejuice goes from his suit to a red tuxedo, saying "Attention, K-Mart shoppers!" While in the tux, Beetlejuice's attacks deal additional damage.

Super Move:
Bio-Exorcist: Beetlejuice transforms into a huge snake. His tail wraps around the opponent, and he slams them around four times before lifting them high into the air and dropping them. He returns to normal as the opponent hits the ground.

Ending:
Believing that his supernatural powers would be of use to his Regime, Superman summoned the malevolent spirit known as Beetlejuice. However, Beetlejuice proved far too unpredictable for Superman to control, and so was sent back to the netherworld by Raven. He would later be summoned once again, this time by the Joker, in order to wreak untold havoc upon the world of the living.

Clash Quotes:
General
"I'm the ghost with the most!"
"Let's turn on the juice and see what shakes loose."
"What do you think of this?"
"C'mon, ya loser!"
(Vs. any female character except Raven) "Ooh, yeah, here I come, baby!"

Attacking

Batman: "I don't believe in ghosts."
Beetlejuice: "I can fix that.

Deathstroke: "This should shut you up."
Beetlejuice: "Don't count on it."

Joker: "Think of the fun we could have!"
Beetlejuice: "I'm a solo act."

Joker: "So you're a ghost?"
Beetlejuice: "And a damn good-looking one too!"

Raven: "Did my father send you?"
Beetlejuice: "Someone has some daddy issues."

Raven (Regime): "Back to the netherworld with you!"
Beetlejuice: "Not if I can help it, babe!"

Sinestro: "You would make a good Yellow Lantern."
Beetlejuice: "Yellow really ain't my color."

Superman (Regime): "I summoned you!"
Beetlejuice: "So what?"

Defending

Beetlejuice: "You call that get-up scary?"
Batman: "I could say the same thing to you."

Beetlejuice: "I got some spare eyes if you want 'em."
Deathstroke: "Shut up."

Beetlejuice: "Nice suit."
Joker: "Yours isn't too bad either."

Beetlejuice: "What's with the makeup?"
Joker: "It's called Perma-Clown!"

Beetlejuice: "You kinda remind me of Lydia."
Raven: "Who is this Lydia?"

Beetlejuice: "If I'm goin' down, you're coming with me!"
Raven (Regime): "Only in your nightmares."

Beetlejuice: "You should stay outta the sun, Pinky."
Sinestro: "You dare insult me?!"

Beetlejuice: "Hey, it's the big S!"
Superman (Regime): "I'll deal with you myself this time."
Trivia:
-Stephen Ouimette provided the voice for Beetlejuice in the animated series.
-The tuxedo that Beetlejuice wears for his character power is the one from the wedding scene near the end of the movie.
-The person mentioned in the Clash quote with Raven is Lydia Deetz, one of the characters from the movie.

After reading some of the (frankly brilliant) ideas for guest characters in Injustice, I decided to make one of my own. And who better than the afterlife's leading bio-exorcist himself?
