@Dirtbag Daryl Bi-Han being the MK X Sub-Zero is something we discuss very often. Nobody thinks on anything that could actually keep him from coming back - as you know, death is never enough to keep a MK character from return, and Bi-Han himself, as Noob, was one of the examples of this. But yes, now that you mentioned the russian convention, it's even more probable.

It kinda makes me sad to know that Noob probably won't be in the game, since seeing a new version of him with all the variations mechanic etc would be awesome. But I prefer this to see Kuai Liang coming back as the new Noob, which would be an unnecessary change just to put him in the game.

@Jacky 50A Noob's condition in MK9 was being thrown into a giant soulnado. As it sucked him, its color changed from green to purple, and then it exploded. Noob wasn't seen again in the game and was presumably killed, but one of the strongest fan theories about this (if not the strongest one) is that the Soulnado absorbed his evilness and the black magic Quan Chi had infused into his soul, which is supposedly what caused it to get purple. So it's totally possible - and probable - that he's back as the elder Sub-Zero, and no longer as a wraith.
