Wow, I have a lot to catch up on.

@Venommm: I was mostly talking about the characters being locked into the game itself as playable characters. But yes, you're right about them not being locked as very important.

@Ridley: Good point. Ultimately, I did realize that the characters are never guaranteed within the games. Hell, there were characters that weren't killed and had no reason not to be absent from the next games but weren't there. Like Goro from MK1 and not being in MKII. Just an example but I think you get my point, which is actually your point. Ha. BTW - as far as the metamorphosis goes, it was actually because Reptile was away from his kind. So when we look at characters like Khameleon and Chameleon they were said (within their bios or endings, I can't remember which) to have been a part of Mortal Kombat since the first tournament (meaning MK1). Vicariously, that would have to mean that Reptile was close enough to the two Chameleons that he was humanish until MKT. At that point, in MK4, that's when he starts to turn into the reptilian creature we've been seeing for a little while. The whole thing about the ruler was that he was drawn to serve a ruler which is why he's loyal to the biggest, baddest dude in the game at the time. He was trying to fill in the void. Plus, his home world was absorbed into Outworld, therefore, he's always there at his "homeworld". And technically speaking, Earthrealm is the home planet of the Saurians. That hasn't been for many millenia but still. As far as Raiden goes: I thought he just turned mortal in other realms and not lost his powers. MKII took place in Outworld and he was just fine as a person who can control thunder. And finally, thank you again for keeping the peace.

@Zurgane: Reptile had a tail in MK:DA. Why wouldn't he have one in MKX?
