A theory of mine is that Kotal Kahn is Shao Kahn as a resurrected wraith. I know that it's a bit of a stretch but I think it might make sense. I also think that those totems that he keeps placing all over the place are taunts kind of like if Shao Kahn were to laugh or point his finger at the opponent and say "you will die". I mean, the totems don't actually do anything so far to my knowledge.

When it comes to the three new characters, if Kotal Kahn isn't Shao Kahn then I wonder what kind of species they all are. Like I said before, I think Kotal is a wraith, I think D'Vorah is a creature from a realm that Outworld has either spared before or has merged with and it's now that D'Vorah is coming out of the woodwork. However, I want D'Vorah to be from Hinpar (a non-canon realm from Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm) being that it is a realm that has humans evolved from insects that are native to that realm. I also believe that Ferra and Torr are either Outworlders or Demons from the Netherrealm.

@Wraithblade: Nitara isn't Zaterran. She's Vaeternus. Eitherway, I like your idea about D'Vorah being another type of Zaterran. In my personal opinion, I'm tired of Shao Kahn. He died in the previous game, let's keep it that way. It's like John Cena (from WWE, don't know if you watch wrestling) except MK's actually switching it up. I want a new main antagonist. Besides, Kotal Kahn's not the main villain. I want him to be either a progeny, or completely new. I think those totems are like healers and damage increasers or some other abilities. Like Quan Chi could do his Skull Assist in MK9, or Rain could do his H2O assist. Something special and new I hope. Like, for example, kinda poison or Scorpion's special power in Injustice. If you notice in Raiden's trailer, he slices himself, and a red aura glows and emits around him. New power-up ability maybe? Hope so. Also, in his Sun God variation, he makes this sun spotlight. My theory is that it's like a healing station. You have a limited amount of time to use it obviously. Also noticable in the Raiden trailer. You could have Sun healing spots in some Challenge Tower missions in MK9
