Hope no one minds me offer by two cents for other guesses for the hypothetical new Deadly Alliance: Noob Saibot and Smoke (perhaps NRS will have them acting as the new timeline's DA as a way to have the old timeline's Noob-Smoke alliance rolled into one). Other individuals who could form a DA: Tanya (her ending mentions that she is spending her time while serving her life sentence plotting something, which seems to hint to be some hint of her possibly playing a major role in a future game), Shang Tsung (assuming he has found a way to cheat death as hinted in Ermac's and Mileena's endings), Kung Jin (Yes, I know this sounds very absurd, but given that his ending establishes that he wants to restore his cousin Kung Lao's humanity, perhaps Jin will enter into some sort of Faustian deal with someone as part his efforts to accomplish this well intended goal. The makers of MK have chosen dark story routes in the past such as Reptile's DA ending in which Onaga uses him as a vessel and also having most of the good guys killed off as revealed in Deception and also making Shao Kahn's Armageddon ending canon rather than Taven's or any other hero's, so it wouldn't be surprising if they thought it could make a more intriguing storyline), D'Vorah (Perhaps she will return in alliance with an accomplice in much the same way that Quan Chi returned after MK4 in the original timeline), or Skarlet (if only for the sake of having her accomplishing something that brings about changes to the timeline whether for her own goals or those of her fallen comrades Havik and Reiko).
