@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. Good point. But now I think he would be considered more of a spectre. Take in mind that the elder Sub-Zero died at the hands of Scorpion (also a spectre). I've differentiated wraiths and spectres based on how Noob and Scorpion are. Noob is a wraith because he's highly influenced by evil and has powers that are based on evil whereas Scorpion is a spectre because he's just a spirit of vengeance.
