One thing I think should be revealed in the next game is Erron Black's origin story. I have an idea for one myself

Erron Jebidiah Black was born in 1844 to a wealthy family who owned a plantation in Lousiana. Erron did not have the buisness management skills on his father, so instead he pursued a career in the military. He enlisted at 17, right when the Civil War had begun. Black served in the Confederate army and was even present at the Battle of Gettysburg. After the Unions victory at Gettysburg, Black knew the war was lost and abandoned his post. He spent the rest of the war in hiding and when the war ended, he joined southern settlers traveling west. Pennyless, and the only thing he had being his soldier skills, Black became a bounty hunter.

Throughout his years as a Bounty Hunter, Black grew bitter and resentful at society, believing it to be "not worth caring about." One day, Black was hired to hunt down and kill a Commanche who had stolen a horse. Durring his hunt, Black stumbled across something unexpected. A Tarkatan scout who was mapping Earthrealm for Shao Kahn's planned invasion after he had won 10 Mortal Kombat's against Earthrealm. The Tarkatan attacked Black, who defended himself and killed the Tarkatan, taking it's arm blade as a trophy. This caught the attention of Shang Tsung who subdued Black in his sleep and brought him to Outworld.

Black was brought before Shao Kahn himself who revealed to black that Earth was just one of many realms and that he was about to start his first tournament against Earthrealm. Being dissillusioned with Earthrealm, Black offered to fight for Outworld in the tournament. Shang Tsung approved of this but Shao Kahn was unwilling to trust an Earhtrealmer so eager to turn his back on his realm, after all, who's to say Black wouldn't betray Outworld eventually? Black was imprisoned and cursed to live forever, so that not even the Elder Gods could comfort him in death. After Shao Kahn's death and Kotal Kahn's ascension, Black was released and was offered a position as one of Kotal's enforcers and warriors. Black accepted and the rest is history.
