Hsu Hao is neat to me because in a franchise full of backstabbers or villains being kept on a leash under promises, someone genuinely loyal not even to a specific master so much as their organization is pretty cool to see. I also think his design is simple but works.

As for Meat and Mokap, I love them as jokes, but they have story potential. Meat is interesting because he's unlike any of Shang Tsung's other creations. He doesn't seem to really want any part in his or Shao Kahn's machinations and just wanted to get out and probably just be himself. Not to mention it's a bit of expectation subversion since you'd expect something with his appearance to be evil or a non-sentient zombie serving someone else.

Mokap I feel makes a great friend for Johnny. Someone who knows him as both an actor and a fighter, and maybe a little as a person, and, having been thrust into fights for the fate of the realms himself in the past, can understand what Johnny's going through. Plus, a character who sees Johnny as something other than annoying is kinda unique in and of itself.
