Maybe Kombat Pack 2 will have 7 playable characters while Kombat Pack 3 has 6 playable characters.

This question came to my mind due to me watching all these finishers in every MK game released. When I saw them, it made me think that they possess superhuman levels of strength, speed, durability, endurance, agility, reflexes, and etc. Each species’ physiology has differences, but all have shown incredible levels of strength, speed, and endurance. How do you all see these MK Kharacters?
Ok for those who might've don't know him
This character's name is Duroc and he is older brother of Goro
Suddenly he is non-canon character like the others and his first & last appearance was mortal Kombat the journey begins
Because he was killed by his own brother cause of jeweled Nika egg
Tbh, he isn't really popular character at all, because he wasn't in the main game unlike Goro
1, Ruby
Reason: Ruby's personality was similar to Tanya in original timeline, because they both are traitors, also she was real red female ninja before skarlet (although Ruby is non-canon)
2, Jola
Reason: Jola deserved her spotlight to be in the games, Tbh she would be very important in the story mode if she gotten more character development
3, Master Hwang
Reason: master Hwang deserved to be playable in mortal Kombat games, although he is non-canon character just like Ruby, he was mentor to the Great kung lao in conquest
4, Siro
Reason: Siro first appeared in conquest but was really important to the story, if NRS make him more interesting, one thing for sure is his backstory, because we never being tolded about it, in conquest
5, Rojack
Reason: Rojack was also black character like both Kai and Jax, but one thing I wanted from NRS to give him backstory of how he becomes the black dragon clan member, because the comics doesn't explained about it
6, Grum
Reason: Grum was actually kollector before kollector was existed, because they both have six arms, expect that Grum was shokan while kollector was Naknada, he could have same roles as goro from both previous timeline, in current timeline where he was prince of the shokan instead of him, cus goro is now officer on outworld's army in new era
7, Ramath
Reason: although he have no skills in martial arts or fighting, I would liked to see him as important character in the future games, since he was friends of king jerrod in defender of the realm
8, karbrac
Reason: since he is tarkatan like baraka, also I would liked a retcon of him from NRS where he was brother of baraka and used to be humans like him, because that is gonna be amazing plot twist ngl
9, bannak
Reason: really badass to see him as playable character because of his outfit in conquest, I wanted NRS to retconned his character where he was father of Kano but he would be founder of the black dragon clan instead of leader, because it might've fit him
10, Asgaarth
Reason: I really wanted a Mortal Kombat character that is anthromorphic animal and it's Asgaarth, because he is really important in the story where he was wise advicer to king Jerrod, although he was non-canon like others, would liked to see him because he was mentioned in one of the intro between scorpion and baraka

Now we come to the conclusion of the theory. I've seen something like this in Jujutsu Kaisen. In the series, in an arc that takes place before the main story, we see Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer in the world and who sees no reason to protect non-sorcerers, and Suguru Geto, the second-strongest sorcerer in the world and sees reason to protect non-sorcerers.
During a mission, a girl that both Gojo and Geto had created a bond of friendship with is killed by Toji Fushiguro, who had been hired to kill the girl. Gojo, the strongest sorcerer, is almost killed by Toji, who was a bounty hunter who had no cursed power (the series' power energy). Toji refers to himself as a “primate” because he cannot use cursed energy. The strongest sorcerer in the world had been defeated and supposedly killed by a “primate” who didn't even have powers. Geto, the second strongest, had also been defeated and supposedly killed by Toji.
Toji had killed the girl, and he took her dead body to the man who had hired him to kill the girl. But Gojo was alive, stronger and fought against Toji. Gojo, during his near death, had learned to use reverse cursed energy, the solution to defeating Toji. This is an enlightened Satoru Gojo:
Gojo had his awakening in the heavens, in an open place.
Gojo wins and kills Toji and Geto goes to where Gojo was. They recovered the body of the girl who had died in some kind of church. When Gojo saw the girl's dead body, he was devastated. The holy men and women began to applaud the girl's death, when they should have been saddened by her death. Gojo, sad, asks Geto if they could kill the holy men and women, but Geto says no, because they have to protect non-sorcerers.
Ah, unfortunately we will have another post, which will be the last. This one doesn't have much to do with Mortal Kombat, but it's part of my theory.
Hello! Here I will be analyzing Scorpion's ending in MK1 (2023). With this ending, I was able to theorize some things that could happen in some DLC or in Mortal Kombat 2. Let's go!
Here, we see the Lin Kuei clan (left) and the newly formed Shirai Ryu clan (right). Note that on the Shirai Ryu clan side, we have Hanzo Hasashi, Tomas Vrbada, Harumi, Kuai Liang and many ninjas from the Shirai Ryu clan. On the other hand, the Lin Kuei clan only has Bi-Han and many Lin Kuei clan ninjas. Did you understand the message?
While Kuai Liang has his family and clan by his side, Bi-Han has no one but his clan. This shows the loneliness that Bi-Han is going through when he decides to betray his family for the glory of the Lin Kuei clan. Kuai Liang has a family and an army. Bi-Han only has an army.
And one more thing: notice that Kuai Liang and Tomas are wearing their normal in-game clothes, while Bi-Han is wearing a blue kimono, an outfit completely different from what he wears in the normal game. I took this to mean: while Kuai Liang and Tomas moved on with their lives, Bi-Han did not. He dressed in extravagant clothes and made an alliance with a sorcerer (Shang Tsung) to cybernetize his clan (seen in his tower ending).
Sorry, but I'll have to finish the rest of the theory in another post, because I can't do more than two uploads in this post here. There are three images and one was used, so this theory will have three posts. I already wrote down the entire theory in my notepad, so I already have everything saved.

This can range from skins, characters, story aspects, gameplay, etc.
Now I love MKX, and it is the game that fully introduced me to Mortal Kombat. However, I feel like there are many aspects of the game that could be improved upon, or added entirely. Things I would do include:
-I would add some characters only seen in story mode. Examples include Sindel, Nightwolf, Smoke, Rain, and Fujin. I probably wouldn't do everyone from story mode. This also includes giving them alternate skins. That includes human, klassic, tournament, etc.
-I would also include characters not present in the game at all, such as Jade, Noob Saibot, Skarlet, maybe Shao Khan, Shang Tsung, and others. They would of course get alternate skins as well.
-When it comes to the tournament skins, this is definitely something I would try to improve. Some of the tournament skins in the game are either absent, or look a bit too different from MK9, to the point where it almost seems as if they aren't supposed to be the same outfit. Don't get me wrong, some of them look almost exactly like their MK9 counterparts, and/or even improved in my opinion. I wouldn't change Scorpion, Jax, Kenshi, Johnny, or Kano. I would definitely add Sub Zero's (the default Kuai Liang in MK9 of course) and Raiden's. I would only change Kung Lao's to have the arms and boots, as well as the straps and bands in both areas to be more consistent with MK9. For Liu Kang, I would change everything to be more like MK9, but still have some of it's style to be more like MKX, such as keeping the hair of MKX. For Quan Chi, Reptile, and Ermac, I would change them entirely to be more like MK9, but have elements from X. For Sonya, I would make it slightly less covered to be more like MK9. Kitana, I would change the hair to MK9, and make a few minor touchups to make the outfit itself look more like MK9, but slightly less revealing. For Mileena, I would change almost everything about it, but make it slightly more covered to fit X.
-I would also add some costumes from the MKX comics, like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena, Takeda, Skarlet, etc.
-I would add the MK3 female ninjas, and replace the MK3 male ninjas with the MK2 outfits. I think this would also be good since the Sub Zero in MK2 is Kuai Liang.
-Connected to this, I would change Klassic Reptile to have a unique human face and better looking mask consistent with other ninjas. To be fair, especially after MK1, I would give him more depth as a whole, and have him mostly be in his human cloak form. I would also give him a steel skin like Subb Zero, Scorpion, and Ermac.
-For Tremor, I would also give him an MK2 outfit, and a steel skin. This also apples to Rain.
-I'm generally mixed on this because I wouldn't want to make the story too long, but I would try to add more MK9 flashbacks that incorporate other characters, such as Sub Zero. This also includes adding more events that take place during the MKX comics. I would also want to include other characters in the story overall.
-Connecting with the outfit section, in the MK9 flashbacks, the characters would have the outfits I would replace for them. This doesn't include the characters I would keep unchanged. For example, in the scene where Raiden restores Kuai, Hanzo, and Jax, he would have the proper MK9 outfit instead of the original MK1.
-This would be a hit or miss, but maybe have Bi Han playable as an alternate skin for Sub Zero similar to MK9.
-I would also update the graphics to be a combination of smooth 3D and realistic like 11 and 1, but still retain the darker coloring X has. This also includes the appearance of the faces to look far better.
-Gameplay wise, I would probably include some staples of MK games, like “Toasty” and other key features not present in X.
-For extra creativity, maybe include what if stories, such as ones that adapt the non-canon default costumes of Sub Zero, Scorpion, Kitana, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao. Although technically Scorpion's is canon since it is adapted to a certain extent in the comics.
-Frankly, I would change elements of the story, add elements, and give more depth to characters.
These are some things I would do. What do you think of my list, and what would you do?
What would be some reasons why or why not he should appear in Mortal Kombat? Type your answers in the comments.
Which scene of Van Damme on Bloodsport movies would make a good fatality for Johnny Cage or a JCVD character in a MK game?

1. What if it was the Shirai Ryu who exterminated the Lin Kuei and both Kuai and Bi Han we’re killed by Scorpion and his clan. Would both becomes specters? Or would Bi Han become Noob Saibot, and Kuai is the specter?
2. What if Shao Kahn wasn’t evil and vile as other perceived, what, how, who, and why did he turn evil?
3. What if Dark Raiden wasn’t wasted in MK11?
4. What if Kitana accepted Mileena as a sister? Would they still be rivals? Or no?
5. What if the Cyber Initiative didn’t stop at the lin kuei, but it rather spread through realm, to realm, everyone being kidnapped to become soulless cyborgs?
