For example, people who thought that Hsu Hao would be in the game just because of the leaked pic you've been talking about should be mad. Most MK fans hate him, and even more important: Boon and the rest of Netherrealm hate him. They were disgusted to have to put him in Armageddon (because every MK character that ever existed by that time should be in Armageddon, they had to include him), and did what they could to make him get screwed and die in that game too. Even at his own arcade ladder ending. Who would think he had a chance to be in MK X? That's obviously why they killed him in the first issue: to make sure that that would be his last appearance ever, even in the new timeline.

They did something similar to Moloch by making Quan Chi decapitate him. I don't know how popular he was among the fans in general, but I guess it was not enough. Netherrealm wanted to make sure he was dead as well.

About Drahmin: I don't know how is the comic and its story right now, but I doubt they would put Drahmin on it, unless it was like what you people said: for him to die. In fact, Netherrealm wouldn't even need to put him there for it. Isn't he always with Moloch, like his partner? For whatever reason why Quan Chi killed Moloch, doesn't that imply that he killed Drahmin as well?

That's my point. We need to focus on the most wanted characters too, instead of believing that someone like Hsu Hao has a chance of being in the game just because he's in the comic. At least that helps to discard some people. Now that I think about it, Drahmin would be kinda odd to have in the comic, since he wasn't always an oni. That is unless they retcon that, but that's just me.
