The reason why I put Triborg into the mix is because I'm hoping that they'll have Triborg as a standalone character and both Cyrax and Sektor come back as "human" revenants. Yeah, ranking the entire roster by favorites is very difficult to do. I'd venture to guess for the most part that anyone who bothers to do this will be vastly different from both of ours as well. I know casual fans have this perception that there's just a handful of characters that everyone likes, but that's simply not the case if you're more familiar with the franchise. Hell, a lot of the characters on my list are so high due to me simply thinking they have great potential if they'd ever be brought back.

I can see you hoping for Cyrax and Sektor to come back in their human forms, but they literally make up what Triborg is, so I believe if that were to happen, then Triborg couldn't possibly come back as canon. Even if you stripped Triborg (whom should be named Quadborg) of all the traits that make up the character (Cyrax, Sektor, Smoke, and Sub-Zero), I could see that working, but not still being named Triborg. I'd be interested in seeing a name change before canonically adding him/it to the roster and also making him/it a completely artificial robot as opposed to a cyborg. Afterwards, they could bring back Cyrax, keeping him human, and Sektor, who is resurrected as a human, but goes on to find the last remnants of the Cyber Initiative at some Lin Kuei location and restores himself as a cyborg somehow, then realizing that cyborgs can still have emotions, so he re-creates the Tekunin in this timeline, except they are all artificial robots as opposed to cyborgs or something like that.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you first get into MK/what was the first MK game you played? I ask because I was very surprised to see the likes of Erron Black, Triborg, and Kotal Kahn so high on your list.
