We have all seen Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees in the Mortal Kombat Universe as Guest Kharacters, with Freddy Krueger being a Guest alongside Kratos in Mortal Kombat IX, whilst Jason Voorhees was in Mortal Kombat X with Leatherface (Thomas Dewitt), Xenomorph (Alien), and Yautja (Predator). When seeing Xenomorph Versus Yautja (Alien Versus Predator) in Mortal Kombat X, I had nothing upon my mind at the time. However, upon seeing Mortal Kombat 11 Guest Kharacters, I noticed the age old Rivalry that was Robocop (Alex Murphy) Versus The Terminator (NRS-426), I had an interesting thought that crossed my mind, and this involved the 2003 Film Freddy Versus Jason. I have several questions that are on my mind right now.

Note: I am aware of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees on Mortal Kombat X Mobile Version only, but this topic is focused on the Game Konsoles of the Seventh Generation (PS3, Xbox 360, etc.)

Here are the questions:

1) If Netherrealm Studios was aware of the 2003 Film Freddy Versus Jason, why wasn't Jason Voorhees in Mortal Kombat IX?

Or alternately,

2) Why wasn't Freddy Krueger in Mortal Kombat X for the Game Konsoles?

Also,

3) Why did Netherrealm release Freddy Krueger for the Mobile Version of Mortal Kombat X?

4) Did Netherrealm Studios plans to have Jasno Voorhees in Mortal Kombat IX, and/or plans to have Freddy Krueger for the Konsole Version of Mortal Kombat X?

And if so,

5) Why were those plans scrapped?

I just cannot wrap my head around this conundrum at all, since Ed Boon and Netherrealm Studios would've seen Freddy Versus Jason, and realise the potential for a massive trip down memory lane. Besides, had this epic rivalry been paired in Mortal Kombat IX, it would've been the first before Xenomorph Versus Yautja (Alien Versus Predator) in Mortal Kombat X. However, had Freddy and Jason been paired together in the Konsole Version of Mortal Kombat X, as well as alongside with Xenomorph Versus Yautja (Alien Versus Predator), then that would've been a double bonus all round. It is a real shame that such an opportunity was wasted, let alone sidelined to the Mobile Version of Mortal Kombat X, but that is just my opinion only.

Can Mortal Kombat Fans help me answer these questions?
