Board Thread:Mortal Kombat X/@comment-25163804-20140713220508

As many (if not all) of you already know, Raiden has been officially announced for Mortal Kombat X. If you did not see the trailer, check it out riiiiiiight here.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99r_TWdh7qg)  Tis a pretty kickass reveal and shows how awesome Raiden is, right? Well, there's one thing that's been bothering me since before the reveal: The identity of this man circled here at this linked image: (http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/File:MKX_Roster_%26_Who_Raiden_Might_Be.jpg). As you can see, the red circled man appears to be wearing a hat of some kind. From there, a friend of mine and I have noted it looks sort of like a bowler hat or a fedora. The only problem is that there is no evidence of any fedora-wearing Kombatants that either of us know of. At first, we both thought that it could be a new character, but the more I think about it, I think that the image is actually a 'cover' for Raiden. Think about it for a second. How easy would it be to identify a silhouette of someone wearing a hat like Raiden's? To keep it a mystery, it would make sense to put up a fake silhouette with some similar features to keep people guessing. As such, I've been lead to believe that Raiden's silhouette was hidden by Netherrealm in order to keep him hidden from the public eye until his reveal. Of course, I could be wrong about this, so I'd like to hear your thoughts. Let me know in the comments down below, and as always: Thanks for Reading.
