Yeah, sorry for confusing the username thing. I must have read the comments in the wrong order.

Listen, since we were talking about people from MK4 who could be returning, I thought about Kai. Sure, not one of the best characters ever created and sometimes considered just one of the "random people" I mentioned in the comment about Jarek, but I think he was cool. He was also one of the few new characters from that game that wasn't there to substitute someone else (Jarek was there to substitute Kano, Reiko for Noob, Tanya for Kitana I think), which kinda makes him more original. In fact, one of the most original new characters from that game.

Of course, he'd be introduced in the story for a different reason, since Liu Kang wouldn't be there to train him - not saying that he's dead, only that he wouldn't train Kai in this timeline due to what happened to him in the former game. In fact, Liu Kang not being there is already a good reason to introduce him: Raiden would need a new Shaolin warrior to fight for Earthrealm in Liu's place. With Kung Lao dead, who could be better in this role than Kai, a member of the White Lotus Society who can easily be trained to enhance his combat skills?

Also, I'd like to have Reiko back. Apart from the jokes regarding Shao Kahn's helmet, I think he could be made better, such as not bearing so many moves and fight style in general from Noob and be given more background information, as he's one of the guys we know almost nothing about. At least we're sure he's alive in this timeline due to his cameos in MK9.
