Forget the guy in a purple suit and glider from other adaptations. This Green Goblin takes his cue from the more monstrous version found in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, ending up as a hulking, scaly, 22-foot-tall creature with a purple tongue rather than anything resembling a costume.
The side quest 'Unyielding Flesh' has you helping a woman named Krystyna save her husband Feodor, who you find chained up looking a little too pleased with his situation while a mysterious woman hovers nearby. Follow her and things turn very Hellraiser very fast, right down to some of the dialogue.

Lee Sin's whole design leans on an older folk tale about a blind but incredibly skilled monk who fights through senses other than sight. It fits him perfectly, a martial artist who's lost his eyes but never lost his edge, relying on instinct and discipline instead.
His take on the Riddler impressed DC enough that they brought him on to actually write a six-issue comic series, Riddler: Year One, exploring his own version of the character's backstory for their Black Label imprint.
Almost everything about the Ghoul's look is done practically with prosthetics, but there's one exception. Goggins' nose is digitally removed in post-production, since that was the one detail the team couldn't quite pull off convincingly with makeup alone while still letting him act naturally under the rest of the prosthetic work.
