As stated in a previous edit, Fujin is a god and thus isn't allowed to participate in the Mortal Kombat tournament. Bo' Rai Cho and Ermac also can't be Earthrealm Champions due to being from Outworld, meaning that if they participated in the tournament, they would have to fight on Outworld's side whether they want to or not (In the games, this is the reason given for why Bo' Rai Cho didn't fight for Earthrealm in any of the tournaments). Likewise, its safe to assume this also applies to Taven, due to him being Edenian and the fact that Edenia had become a part of Outworld at this point in both timelines in the games.

[[WMG: Cole Young is to Scorpion, what Kuai Liang is to Bi-Han]]
Cole Young will be the second Scorpion after the first passes the mantle on, or actually passes on.



There's already a rumor going around that it will happen and in this troper's honest opinion it's the PERFECT casting choice. Miz's egotistical wrestling character who fans love to hate has drawn comparisons to Cage in the past. It would be a match made in heaven.

[[WMG: Cole and Kuai Liang will team up]]
When Kuai Liang appears he will most likely be an EvilCounterpart of Cole in a way--a descendant of Bi-Han who inherits a portion of his powers and fights for Outworld rather than Earthrealm. However as he and Cole clash, Cole will meet with Hanzo again and learn the full story of the Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei, which could involve a series of strikes against each other and, like an above WMG suggests, lead to Hanzo killing Bi-Han's family before he did the same to Hanzo. The film's climax will have Cole and Kuai both understand that though their legacies both have blood on their hands, they have more important things to protect: their own families and Earth itself. The two will then team up and take on Shang Tsung (or Shao Khan) together.

[[WMG: Cole will inherit more elements of Scorpion in future films]]
Including the outfit, and a chance to say "Get over here!"

[[WMG: The reason for Bi-Han's AdaptationalVillany is because, in an ironic twist, Scorpion killed ''his'' family]]
No, Bi-Han wasn't exactly the NICEST person to begin with in the games. But in every previous incarnation of the character, he was innocent of the crime he was killed by Scorpion for. With Quan Chi AdaptedOut (at least for now), the reason for Bi-Han doing the deed himself here is that Scorpion killed his family and, presumably, most of his clan given how few Lin Kuei we see in the movie. If Kuai Liang shows up in the sequel, he will learn of Bi-Han's massacre and, provided he isn't a bad guy too, will be disgusted by his brother's actions. Leading to his crusade to reform the Lin Kuei from the games. Starting with the new Grandmaster: Sektor.

* Or it was Kabal. Kabal died "enough" when Kano "slit his throat" (note Sonya's wording) to transfer the dragon mark, but was able to be resucitated and placed in his life support gear. He's got SuperSpeed that's pretty clearly an Arcana, so at least was at one point a Champion.

In the games, Kitana and Jade start out on the side of Outworld, so it would make more sense for them to be introduced as Outworld Champions. Havik isn't even from Earthrealm or Outworld, so he has no reason to be a champion for either side. As much as I like Fujin, the fact that he's a god means that he isn't allowed to participate in the tournament.

I mean, he is the one Earthrealm criminal character in the franchise that [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing no one would actually miss]]. And it's kind of a RunningGag at this point to kill him in an undignified manner every time he shows up.
