History WMG / MortalKombat11

* MK Trilogy: Khameleon: the Nintendo Switch was announced to be one of the platforms MK11 will playable on, thus Khameleon (who has only been playable on Nintendo consoles so far in Trilogy and Armageddon) might get a chance to return.

* ComicBook/{{Venom}}: While Netherrealm is known for utilizing DC characters for ''MK vs DC'' and ''Injustice'', it would be a neat turn of events to see a Marvel character turn up in Mortal Kombat. Given how brutal he can be towards criminals as well as his [[Film/Venom2018 film]] and always threatens to bite off heads, eat brains or other organs, or other such horrible deaths, even when the work he's in ''isn't'' rated for adults, Venom would be an easy fit as he can very easily make good on his threats. Even his symbiote has good potential to be scary, which can end up eating the opponent from the inside out or bonding with them, possessing them for a short period. Since Venom also has a variation of Spider-Man's powers, it would be interesting to see him use such abilities in much more violent ways, like shooting webs inside of his opponents, crushing and strangling organs within, or [[VideoGame/MarvelVSCapcom his own already deadlier version of Web Throw.]]

Realizing that Dark!Raiden taking matters into his own hands as one big middle finger for their apparent inactions and cowardice against Shao Khan and Shinnok, the Elder Gods decide to step in and put an end to their disgruntled ex-employee.

While the leaked roster including DLC for a Kombat Pack 1 are reconfirmed by Ed Boon, it is worth looking.

He will be resurrect to serve as the training dummy for people to practice moves and fatalities on.

As Hatred and Agony proved, video games can receive the AO rating for sheer violence alone. Even Mortal Kombat X was pushing the M rating, and since NRS makes a point of making each game [[BloodierAndGorier bloodier and gorier than the last]], it would not be surprising if the ESRB gave Mortal Kombat 11 an initial AO rating. The very worst Fatalities may have to be censored for an M rating.

* [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]]: If Mortal Kombat is the king of violent video games, the fallen angels from the Gainax anime that is exploitation filled just like Mortal Kombat. Both angels can shoot at and cut up enemies in pieces.

* A Creator/DCComics character: The ''[[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs Injustice]]'' [[VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}} games]] had ''Mortal Kombat'' guest characters. so why not flip things around? Granted, it would have to be a character that would have no problems with gory finishers such as the Joker, Harley Quinn, or Deathstroke, but considering this game will most definitely be M-rated, at least their Fatalities won't be neutered down like in [[VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse the previous attempt to give DC Comics characters Fatalities]].

* [[Film/{{It2017}} Pennywise]]: First off, Warner Bros. owns the film rights, so it's easy to get. Secondly, he's another well-known horror character, with a movie that came out very recently with a sequel on the way. Thirdly, he is a shapeshifter, so he has the potential to be both unique and very scary. Finally, we never really had a MonsterClown in the franchise (aside from Joker, but he's not as brutal in his game, nor really as monstrous. The closest thing we had was Shang Tsung's second fatality in MK9), so this could really bene

* [[Film/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]]: Another iconic horror movie villain, and one who was considered for ''Mortal Kombat X'' until the upcoming movie at the time was cancelled. Now that [[Film/{{Halloween 2018}} a new movie]] has come out, that most likely won't be an issue.

* [[Film/{{Mandy 2018}} Red Miller]]: This one's admittedly really far fetched, considering that ''Mandy'' just came out and is hardly a blockbuster classic like ''Friday the 13th'' or ''Predator'', but Red would fit really well into the Mortal Kombat setting considering that he's a LargeHam BloodSplatteredWarrior from an ultraviolent action movie. He could potentially use the Beast and the Reaper as weapons, and his Fatalities could be shout outs to the original film, such as shoving the Beast down his opponent's throat.

* [[Film/{{Hellraiser}} Pinhead]]: Considering that all the guest characters in MKX were iconic horror movie villains, Pinwheel would be a natural choice for a guest fighter. His powers could make for an interesting moveset and offer a lot of room for creative Fatalities.

* [[Franchise/TheEvilDead Ash]]: A character I'm surprised wasn't in one of these games already. Ash would fit the Mortal Kombat setting like a glove considering its similarities to ''The Evil Dead''. His shotgun and chainsaw hand could be incorporated into his moveset in interesting ways, and his smarmy personality would lend itself well to amusing pre-fight interactions.

* [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]]: T-1000 could make for an interesting character considering his ability to shape his body into any weapon, meaning he could have an interesting ConfusionFu fighting style similar to Azwel in ''VideoGame/SoulCaliburVI''. He's also a fairly iconic villain, so brand recognition. However, his lack of blood or bodily organs might make it difficult to integrate him into Fatalities without {{Narm}} or SpecialEffectsFailure, so there's that.

He's also a fairly iconic villain, so he'd fit right in with previous guest fighters.

Safe to assume no other Deception (and Armageddon) debuting characters will make it given that the few details so far have stated the roster will consist of a mix of "new and returning characters", of which the latter is likely to be primarily from 1-3 and some of the [=MKX=] newcomers.

As a specter, he always comes back from death and the new character was seen touching an hourglass, hinting at some sort of time travel.
