No. That was only added in Armageddon to compensate for Midway's lack of budget at the time to create more original fatalities. A number of characters like the playable bosses never got their own exclusive finishers because of it. Most of the appeal with fatalities in general is to see how the MK team can get more newly creative over the years in coming up with their over-the-top kill moves. The Armageddon fatality system took away from that.
