As for Reiko, if there's still enough demand for him to return in the future, he'll be back even if he's still dead canonically. (assuming the comics are all still canon even) I would think Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana in MKX would be shining examples of this to everyone by now. I agree. Even if he's canonically dead he could come back in a later game. Personally, because he's canonically dead, I hope he won't be in MKX even if he is just DLC. People who don't normally play the game get confused about the DLC characters. They think they're supposed to be in the game but were created later as a last minute addition. They feel the same about guest characters but the way people talk about the guests make people understand that they're non-canon. Hell, Tanya is a canon character and yet is now a DLC. Tremor is canon in the comics and not in the game.
