I have formed a new hypothesis, regarding the intros. The timelines could be in flux, and versions of the characters from alternate timelines could be ending up in what I'm calling the RMK (Rebooted Mortal Kombat) timeline which 9 and X take place in. This could explain many of the things going on; why there are older versions of characters that died when they never aged as revenants, why Shinnok knows of his clone, and the Chaosrealm Raiden.

(Of course, it could just be that these are developer choices, but this idea was too much of a fit-in that I could not resist sharing.)
