InMortal Kombat 11 , NetherRealm resurrect a few underused characters , such as Fujin and Frost , but despite these somewhat deep quality picks , there are still a few seldom - seen , yet interesting characters that they could draw out from the annals ofMortal Kombatlore inMortal Kombat 12 .

TheMortal Kombatserieshas always been known for its distinctive , often downright strange roster of belligerent that rides the line between laughably cool and unbearably bum . For every iconic ninja in colour - cod pajamas , there is at least one black sheep that fans never really have behind . Characters like Meat fromMortal Kombat 4 , orDeadly Alliance’sMokap may be extreme and ridiculous , but their gimmicks proved either too arrant or too cartoony for many players to pick them up .

Palia character with Elderwood

This partly explain   the absence seizure of suchcharacters from NetherRealm Studios ' more recentMKreleases . But , within the series ' vast roll of over - the - top warriorlike artists are a few unnoticed , under - played character that still deserve a hazard in the glare .

Shujinko

The protagonist ofMortal Kombat : Deadly Alliancehas some of the greatest potential to make a fun character in the nextMK.With his copycat abilities , Shujinko would make a great stand - in for Shang Tsung or Shinnok as a move - stealing case . This would turn the base figure of speech on its head , as move - thief tend to beevilMortal Kombatcharacters . Unlike his opposite number , Shujinko actually fights for the forces of trade good , although his well - meant efforts usually have dire consequences . In the serial publication ' original timeline , it was Shujinko who accidentally released the evil Dragon King Onaga into the realms . Likewise , in theMortal Kombat Xcomics , Shujinko was manipulated by Havik into attack Scorpion and Takeda . Now reestablish into the currentMKtimeline , Shujinko is more ready than ever to make a counter .

Havik

Havik has it all : a nerveless looking at , interesting lore potential , and hazardously   repugnant ability . This skeleton - faced   devil hails from Chaosrealm , one of the most dark realms inMK.In the current timeline , Havik cast away his slew in with the dethroned elderberry bush god , Shinnok . In fact , he ’s the scoundrel most directly responsible for freeing the fiend in theMKXcomics . Along the way , Havik wangle the likes of Quan Chi , Shujinko and the famed Outworld General , Reiko . He even make out to own Raiden , Earthrealm ’s patron protector deity . Unfortunately , Havik ’s plan did not finish well for him , but he still carry off to turn out himself a substantial terror along the way . His cellular inclusion would not only be receive , but it would also make for   an opportunity to expand on the lore of Choasrealm .

Sareena

Among the hordes of monovular , color - trade ninja girls hide one outlier , Sareena . Sareena may look human , but she ’s actually a hideous demon that once served as an assassin for Quan - Chi . Like several other characters , Sareena debuted inMortal Kombat Mythologies : Sub Zero , and since then has been continually shoved to the sideline in a series of cameo roles ( barringMK : Armageddon , where every major graphic symbol in the series was playable ) . InMKX , she helped the force of Earthrealm track down Quan - Chi , but was given neither a proper backstory for raw fans , nor any touchable role in the current plot of land . WithMortal Kombat 12,NetherRealm has the chance to fix that .

Taven & Daegon

These inauspicious - fatten up Brother count as a software system deal . In the context of both ofMK’sconnected timelines , the struggle between Taven and Daegon present inMk Armageddonis easily one of the most significant outcome in the traditional knowledge . Without it , Raiden would never have readjust the timeline , and the events of the past times threeMortal Kombatgames would have never happened . Beyond their importance to the plot , the brothers flesh out some much - needed public building lore by being two of the only male Edenian characters in the series . Their involvement in the plot has the potentiality to bring other Edenian lineament with them , including other underused character like their half - brother Rain and Tanya . deadly Kombat 12would do nothing but benefit from these two .
