I apologize for the not-so-creative title, I couldn't come up with a better one.

Anyway, back on track, this tweet was linked to me by Koldoom42, and of course, I had to have a look. Simply, it's Cole MacGrath about to crush some fools with a car he's lifting with his Kinetic Pulse ability. But, as Koldoom believes this is a hint, I had to tackle it from a similar angle, and while he and another helpful soul named Zurgane had their speculations, which I agree with, I have a couple suspect ideas myself. Time to elaborate in order of likelihood.

1: Ermac. This is Zurgane's guess, but it seems most likely, as he was hinted at in the past and is a fan favorite.

2: Kenshi. Koldoom's guess, which while being slightly less likely as he has not been hinted at yet, could make it in due to him being around due to him being popular (not to the degree of Reptile or Ermac, but still worthy of being noted) and his variations would be fairly interesting with Sento as his weapon.

The following guesses are both mine, and they're both guest characters,  but I'm going to put them in as if this is actually a hint and not Ed showing his affinity for Infamous, which is a great series, then these are more directly teased.

1: Cole MacGrath. Cole himself would be a very interesting character because in his games, there are two ways to play him: Good or Evil, these influencing his abilities and personality. While his lightning based attacks would be similar to Raiden, they're unique enough to be worth noting, plus his AMP would make a deadly weapon. And, since he's Playstation exclusive, he would fit the bill for an exclusive fighter. However, he was only in Teen-rated games, and as such, it might be hard for Ed to get Cole to do a fatality because of Sucker Punch holding all the cards, but I have confidence that Sucker Punch might allow this to slip if it were the case because Cole can certainly kill brutally, even if it's not exactly gory.

2: Nick Scryer. The protagonist of the game Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, Nick is gifted with several incredible powers, from telekinesis to mind reading to even body snatching and Pyrokinesis. He also has a plethora of weapons to use from, although in the game they take a backseat to his powers in the later parts of the game. His signature non-power weapon, the silenced pistol, can't be dropped in the game, so it'll probably be a weak special move to be used throughout all of his variations. Speaking of variations, Nick's could be based around his powers, of which includes telekinesis, aura viewing, remote viewing, and pyrokinesis, among others. As his physical attacks are limited, being only a punch in his native game, he'd probably behave a bit like Stryker or Deathstroke from Injustice, using his abilities and weapons more than his physical skills. However, this does NOT make him a clone of either, as he has enough of his own attacks and the like to be a seperate character. His advantage over Cole would be that since he was owned by Midway before they got changed to NetherRealm, Ed could use the character in whatever way he wants. Oh, and a funny little tidbit: In the game, it is possible to unlock a Scorpion costume for Nick to wear. It'd be interesting if he came back in MKX to complete the cycle.
