1. Chameleon: A very boring character who lacks any sort of personality or goals aside from being the victor of a tournament, my recommendation for making him a better character would be by way of retcon making him one of the Red Dragon Clan's Dragon-Human hybrid experiments (and a loyal servant of Daegon) and make him into MK's equivalent of the Dragonball villain Cell and Young Justice's portrayal of Black Beetle.

2. Meat: The way I'd seek to improve him would be to make him as being a serial killer who murders others so he can take his victims' skin. And on Anonymous user 174.5.59.187's idea for making Meat a main villain, I have to agree with Dynamo68 in saying that it is a bad idea.

3. Frost: While I note that see isn't completely despised and does have a loyal character fan base (myself included), but it is also something that most be acknowledged that she also has plenty of detractors. The way I'd choose to revamp her would be her being something along the lines of Devil May Cry's Vergil in that her reason for wanting to have power, rather than for more clichéd villainous reasons, is from having to endure a rough life of being powerless before various enemies in her past. I'd also like for her relationship with Cassie to be developed in later games as both rivals and reluctant allies. I'd also hope that a latter game would include some more details about the Cyromancer race or at the very least include whatever part of Outworld they originate from to be a stage.

4. Mokap: Yes I'm really going to discuss a way to improve Mokap's standing. In his Armageddon ending, he managed to avert the destruction of the realms and was made into a constellation. The way I'd want to recreate him would be as a Human being who gets turned into a cosmic star themed being (making him a mostly transparent black being with some stars about his figure), something akin to Watchmen's Mr. Manhattan.

5. Mavado: While like Frost, he isn't totally hated and yes I know that he was shown to be killed by Cassie and Jacqui in the comics, but I'd like to discuss him anyway. If he were to appear in a sequel, I'd have him being saved by being used as a test subject for the Red Dragon's hybrid experiments though still human looking and with some stitches about his body. I'd also suggest that while he could still have hookswords for a variation, that they should be implemented in such a way so as operate differently from Kabal's play style. Another variation would add a fire based attacks ("El Pyro Loko" maybe as a name for it).

6. Hotaru: I've discussed how I'd like to revamp him in another forum, so I'll just summarize it quickly. I'd make him a sympathetic character whose reason for wanting order and justice by any and all means stems from losing his parents via a violent act of murder. I'd also chose to have him as having a wife and child who he would be protective of.

7. Daegon: I'd choose to recreate him as being a visionary villain (along the lines of the Young Justice cartoon's portrayal of Vandal Savage) in contrast to the boring bland antagonist he was in Armageddon who lacked any other goals or insights for why he became the person he is.

8. Dairou: I'd have him as being still in the Seidan Guard (at the start of story anyway), but also someone who is something of a Byronic hero who doesn't always follow his superiors orders ("WELL F*** YOUR ORDERS! I wasn't going to leave a fellow soldier behind to be killed by those B******s!"). I definitely agree with your points. Although, Mokap will probably never appear again. I really hope that Dairou and Chameleon appear in future games, because they're so underrated.
