The question I have to ask is why make the Xenomorph a playable character.

I know there are a lot of problems with having the Xenomorph a playable character in a game like Mortal Kombat. The first is the Xenomorph's tradmark blood which is acidic (as Alien fans know) and most of the characters fight in very close quarters (only few MK characters like Kano and Erron Black can fight from a distance) and once they come into contact with the Xeno, they're skin would burn off. This is also a problem when it comes to some of the characters' brutalities (Liu Kang's counter punch brutality is a prime example because he's doused in his opponents blood as well as Quan Chi's portal Brutality where his opponent's blood showers all over him).

Plus, like the Predator. Xenomorphs are hunters and don't fight head on. They use the darkness to hide themselves and pounce on their prey.
