Tom & Jerry


 * This article is about the Fighter. For other uses, see Tom & Jerry (Disambiguation).

, referred to as Tom and Jerry on the website, are a duo Fighter from the Tom and Jerry Universe in MultiVersus.

Origin
Thomas Jasper "Tom" Cat, Sr. and Gerald Jinx "Jerry" Mouse are the titular protagonists of the Tom and Jerry franchise. The duo were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbara at MGM during the 1940s, and they were specifically designed to be rivals to one-another: Tom is an intelligent anthropomorphic cat who mainly wants to chase Jerry due to his job as a domestic feline, while Jerry is a carefree and cheeky anthropomorphic mouse who likes teasing the former and stealing food from Tom's owners' fridge. Despite this, there have been a few times where the two actually seemed to get along and like each other, earning them the title of frenemies.

According to the main lead writer for MultiVersus, Tom & Jerry's portrayal in the game comes from their depiction in Tom and Jerry animated shorts from the 1960's.

Official Biography
"When these frenemies put aside their differences, their zany mayhem can be unstoppable."

Ever since they first laid eyes on each other, Tom and Jerry have had a complicated relationship. As a housecat and a mouse they should be mortal enemies, but the two have nonetheless teamed up many times over the years. Like many “toons,” Tom & Jerry fight with a zany, madcap style and display nearly indestructible levels of durability. They’ll be great champions to have in the battle against the Nothing so long as they can stop fighting each other long enough to do it.

Default Variant
Tom & Jerry's default look is based on their late 40s/early 50s designs, which became the basis for most of their modern depictions in Tom and Jerry media.
