Cole Young, the protagonist from the shitty MK Movie Reboot WILL NOT BE IN MK 1. That is some great news: what's not great news are the rumored guest kombatants.
Homelander, Omniman, and Peacemaker are the top 3 rumored characters. Personally, Peacemaker feels out of place here. He's better off on Injustce 3. While Omniman and Homelander can fit the MK mold, having Superman knock-offs in Mortal Kombat is kinda lame.
Wargods: now there's a lot of potential in here. I know the original game wasn't that great and the graphics were a little bad, but it's technically a Midway game, which means Netherrealm might own the property.
Conan: yes I'm talking about that Conan. The Barbarian not the talk show host, just making sure we're on the same page. Think about it. Strong, savage, violent, perfect for MK. There's lots of potential in Conan... especially if they go for the Public domain version of Conan... solely based on the stuff published by Robert E. Howard when he was alive... or work with whoever holds the rights now. (They've changed hands recently) in order to get THIS Conan.
Lobo: I lnow I have a beef with DC stuff in MK, but Lobo males more sense than Joker. The only reason Joker is in is because they already have Joker's VA playing Raiden and they don't need to hire anyone else... also, Brad Garrett should play Lobo.
But let's be honest here: the Guest Kombatant thing is nothing more than a half-assed, desperate gimmick...
Mirage Turtles and Shredder: LuiKangdammit! Please notice that I said MIRAGE and not the pop culture idea of the Turtles where Leonardo Leads, Donatello does Machines, Raphael is cool but rude, Michelangelo is a party dude... I mean the mean and gritty Morage Universe, where the Turtles are edgier than a Zack Snyder movie. I don't want the Injustice Turtles in MK1... I want something along the lines of MIRAGE universe or DARKER...
But all we need is a Street Fighter crossover (which unfortunately won't happen, because Capcom looks down on MK)
