The Man of Steel is one of the best playable characters in Injustice 2 and becomes even better when equipped with the best Superman gear in the game.

The gear system is one of the most innovative aspects of Injustice 2. Thanks to this, players have a seemingly vast sea of customization ahead of them. This means that there is very little chance for two characters to have the exact same costumes, as long as even a fear gears have been put in place. Gear could also come in the form of full suits and not just as a particular accessory to an outfit. Still, the best outcome is usually from a combination of gear that all works together.

While gears are numerous for each character in the DC universe, they each have varying functions. Equipping specific gears for characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman is not just cosmetic, but could also have an impact in battle. This is why care must be taken during this process. For a hero like Superman, these are the best gears to have around.

The Phantom Zone Covering is a stylish cape and spicy gear belonging to Superman. It has a bit of head protection which is attached to the rest of the cape. This helps him to stand up to any foe that comes his way.

Even though there is no increase in strength, what this gear offers is a noticeable increase in other areas. This includes boosts in ability, defense, and health. These are key areas that certain players may need an assist in. The augment here is an 8.42% increase in all XP gained while this gear is equipped.

Cape Of Krypton's Son is a marvelous addition to the gear loadout. Fans of the series are familiar with this cape and often combine it with other gear that carries similar branding. What this does is ensure a well-rounded experience and a very complete load out.

Thanks to this cape, there are massive additions to strength and defense. Ability and health may be left lacking, but this can of course be covered up with the addition of other useful gear. The augment here is an XP boost of 6.47%.

​The Ceremonial Regime Cape is a fitting gear that should be equipped as part of a set, if possible. This is because of the massive ability boost that comes with it. There is also a health boost, however, it is not as substantial as the increased ability. This cape puts fear in the hearts of enemies.

There are two augments here. The first is a fair XP boost of 5.84%. The second and perhaps most important augment is used only in the Multiverse. It gives Superman 54.98% extra block damage. Another condition for this is that it occurs against superpowered opponents.

The Yellow Sun Mantle is a great look from the point of view of most fans. It fits perfectly and doesn't come with any kind of head covering. This change, however, is very subjective. This gives him the kind of fierceness seen in the comics.

There is a lot more balance with this cape, as it offers balanced and fair increases in ability, strength, and defense. This means that there is a weakness in the defense aspect. The Yellow Sun Mantle offers an XP boost of 8.72% as its augment.​​​​​​

The Yellow Sun Breastplate is a powerful piece of gear. While most gamers would lean towards strength, it is actually the opposite for this gear. Yellow Sun Breastplate has boosted stats for defense, ability, and health.

The augments available here are a 3.57% chance of getting a shield. While this may not be all that inviting at first glance, it should be noted that this shield, if gotten, can reduce the damage from a hit by 50%. An extra augment is that arena transitions affect about 1.61% less than normal.

The Ceremonial Regime Armor is a heavy piece of equipment that acts as protection. It looks excellent and is incredibly strong. Gamers would be happy to have this as part of their gear load out, as it is one of the most balanced armors for Superman. Superman dons this and instantly looks like an inspiration.

Going with the Ceremonial Regime Armor has its perks. Even though there is no boost to strength and defense, the big bumps come in the area of ability and health. The augment gotten from this armor is 29.81% less damage when environmental attacks are involved.

Superman dons the armor of his house. This gear wraps beautifully around his torso, while giving strength and ability to any user who chooses to add this gear to their arsenal.

There is a noticeable lack in health and defense, but such a lapse can always be covered up or sorted thanks to the help of other gear that can complement the functions of the Armor Of House El. As an augment, the Armor Of House El gives a 3.35% reduction in the area of arena transitions

Arm coverings, or bracers, should not be overlooked when it is time to make a selection. Most players may not see them as being all that important, but they play essential roles in their own right

The Ceremonial Regime Bracers can be added to any other ceremonial regime gear for both a visual match and a boost in abilities. The advantages of the Ceremonial Regime Bracers are increased ability and health. As an augment, there is a 28% bump in damage when environmental attacks are performed.

Earth-Two Armor is a fantastic piece of gear to add to a collection. It fits in perfectly, leaving room for other upgrades that may come later on. This gear focuses more on defense and health. This also means that the areas of strength and ability are not boosted. This armor protects from all forces across the infinite earths.

Earth-Two Armor also has a few other tricks up its sleeve. The augment here is an increase in environmental damage. This increase is by a factor of 49.11%, ensuring that opponents feel the impact.

The Last Son Bracers are a gorgeous addition to any gear set, as they are sleek and fit amazingly on the character. This should remind fans of the Red Son Superman. Players will notice that they do not just get an aesthetic boost, but there are buffs to certain attributes of Superman too.

The three things that gamers will enjoy thanks to the Last Son Bracers are boosts to strength, ability, and defense. These three areas ensure that there is just that extra needed to win against opponents. The augment here is a 41.45% increase in damage from environmental interaction.

Injustice 2 is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
