Remember the Silhouettes from E3? Well, I sure do, and I thought they were pointless... until recently. See, this video talks about how Quan Chi and Kano were examples of characters teased via silhouettes, and that the silhouettes all had something in common with a character in MKX. As such, I got to thinking: Who else might've been hiding?

Well, in the recent light that Kung Lao is the next MKX character, I've been looking at the silhouettes again, and I think I can draw a few conclusions, thanks to the first video and the hints provided.

If you want to join in on the speculation, here is the picture of all silhouettes, and here is one with the silhouettes filled in with potential matches to the pictures they use, and thus a hint for who might be coming.

The one with Barack Obama's face on it, 3rd from the left on the bottom row has been cited in the first video as potentially being Baraka, due to the similarity of the name and the similarly shaped head. Indeed, I can see why this might be, and asides from maybe a new tarkatan, I can't think of anyone else.

Right next to Obama is Keanu Reeves, which again in the last video is mentioned to looking like Kenshi, and could easily be a match. After all, the "???? wins... Fatality!" tweet seems like something Kenshi could do.

Near the right side end of the list on the bottom is Gordon Ramsay, an imfamously coarse-tongued English chef. As far as I know, there isn't a match in the current MKX casting or in any MK character I know of, so we could be seeing a new english character... or perhaps a joke character who's a parody of Ramsay, which I hope is not the case.

Dan Forden (right next to Scorpion) is infamous for his 'Toasty' secret in the first MK games and MK9. Toasty would be referring to fire, but seeings as Scorpion already has pyrokinetic powers, we'll have to look at others with fiery powers. As far as I know, Taven and Daegon are still on the table for playability, and both can control fire. Alternatively, Onaga is a dragon capable of breathing fire, so there is that.

Interestingly, next to Keanu Reeves is a man (I don't know who) with sunglasses, possibly hinting at Johnny Cage being playable.

Big Show is right at the end on the bottom. He is known as a massive wrestler from the WWF days (not sure if he was around when it went to WWE), which might hint at another massive character being playable in MKX. Some of the larger MK characters include: Moloch (Killed by Quan Chi in MKX, evidenced by an intro), Shao Kahn (who was killed in MK9 and appears not to be coming back), Onaga, and Blaze. In the OG Mortal Kombat series, Onaga was revived by the time Deception came out, and Blaze has been playable since Deadly Alliance, and both appear in MK: Armageddon. Thus, it could be possible that Blaze or Onaga will appear in MKX.

What are your thoughts? Speculations? Let me know below, and thanks for reading as always.
