Steven Quartz Universe is a Fighter from the Steven Universe (Universe) in MultiVersus.
Origin[]
Steven Universe is the titular protagonist of the 2013 Cartoon Network animated series Steven Universe. An empathic and kind-hearted child, Steven's a member of the Crystal Gems, and has friends all around Beach City. As the son of Greg Universe and Rose Quartz, he's also the only known human/crystal gem hybrid in existence. Steven's Gem Weapon consists of his mother's shield, and his skillset notably includes the ability to heal wounds with his saliva.
According to the main lead writer for MultiVersus, Steven's portrayal in the game comes from around the second season of Steven Universe.[1]
Official Biography[]
Half-human, half-Gem, all hero.
The only known hybrid of a human and a Gem, Steven was always destined to be special. He spent most of his childhood raised by a trio of Gems hiding out on Earth, but it wasn’t until he became a teenager that he started to grow into his own potential as a hero. With his big heart, unstoppable optimism, and incredible Gem powers; Steven will always save the day![2]
Default Variant[]
Steven Universe's default look is based on his design from the original Steven Universe TV show. Weirdly enough, Steven's early model seen in promotional material for the game sported an orange shirt as opposed to its original pink one.[3]
