The revenants in MKX are those who died in MK9. Besides, in MK9, Quan Chi was talking about the souls of those who die during the invasion would be his as granted by Shao Kahn. The invasion was over at the end of MK9. This is not to assume that he can't have anymore but we can't assume that he get's those who die after MK9 either. never said anything regarding the stupid revenant thing you're all going on about, you just worded your sentence like you didn't know Cyrax died.

also talking about revenants is completely pointless, Quan Chi is the only one that could ever "make" them and hes gone. We are talking about those who died in the comics which is a prequel, and since Cyrax did a lot of bad things in his lifetime, it is probable that his soul went to the Netherrealm and then turned into a Revenant Going to the Netherrealm does not turn you into a Revenant, it just consigns souls to eternal torture and damnation. Quan Chi turned souls he was allowed to claim in Outworld's invasion into Revenants, and that was when Shinnok was boosting his power. With Quan Chi dead now and Shinnok a head, there is no one to make more Revenants. Cyrax is dead, and staying that way. Quan Chi can hand pick souls to turn into Revenants or did you forget he turned both Scorpion AND the elder Sub-Zero into Revenants before the invasion of Earthrealm

Quan Chi can only ressurect souls he has jurisdiction over, either warriors he's killed or been given access to via deals. Scorpion was a unique case, because he's the 'prototype' Revenant in a way, with Hanzo even saying he was never a Revenant to begin with or under Quan Chi's control like the others. Bi-Han was ressurected because Scorpion, who was Quan Chi's servent, killed him, giving Quan Chi access to his soul, which was damned already and even Bi-Han wasn't a total Revenant, more like Scorpion in a way.

You'll notice throughout the new timeline, Quan Chi only ressurects those whose souls he has access to, either through deals or his warriors killing them.

And, once again, I'm stressing this, Quan Chi was only able to make Revenants while he had Shinnok boosting his powers, otherwise he can't do it. Following the comic's timeline, Quan Chi would have been too weak to revive Cyrax, even if he had access to his soul, which he probably didn't anyway since Cyrax wasn't nearly as much as bad as Sektor or Bi-Han.
