The issue is the naming, officially it's Noob Saibot in the first game before he became Noob, it'll stay as it is. Look at Cyber Sub Zero, he's treated as a separate character despite being the second Sub Zero, it's essentially the same with the first and Noob, they're the same character but treated differently.

And really it's Scorpion who's the most iconic character given how he's part of the NRS logo.
