Talk:Kotal Kahn

Does Kotal Khan have any relation to Shao Khan?--Epicportlemaster101 (talk) 19:17, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Kotal is a descendant of Shao.   Xperia  Talk  Edits  Mortal Kombat  20:03,6/21/2014  20:03, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

That's what I thought.--Epicportlemaster101 (talk) 19:03, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Actually he isn't, Ed Boon confirmed it on his twitter.  Xperia  Talk  Edits  Mortal Kombat  17:47,6/29/2014  17:47, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

Voice Actor

Should it be added that he's being voiced by Phil LaMarr? Like Sub-Zero, its very obvious who they're being voiced by, but its not been "officially" stated. MrSN202 (talk) 04:22, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

As likely as it is (it does sound like him) I'd rather wait until we get an official cast list.TPShadowDragon ^{Born into flame!} 10:57, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Kotal Kahn IS the NEW Emperor of Outworld. It has OFFICIALLY been confirmed in Raiden's walthrough trailer.Shadow521 (talk) 01:59, August 5, 2014 (UTC)

Kahn is title, reminds me of War Gods.

The Kahn in his name seems to be in title only. 

Also, he feels like he might be a reference to War Gods, going along with his Aztec theme.

Probably is a title

The great eyebrows of truth spoke that he was the new ruler of outworld. so shao might have a last name, or the name was given to him entirely by Onaga, with onaga being above such a title. or Kotal could haev given himself the suffix in reverence to Shao. Stalin is a self given name as well, many world leaders re-name themselves in authoritarian countries. 

Strykers ending in MK9

If you watch the MK9 ending of Stryker, you see a newspaper with a headline saying: ANCIENT MAYANS WARNED OF OUTWORLD INVASION

Kotal Kahn certainly has something to do with that. 

Maybe it should be added to trivia?

pretty sure that's nothing more than a little joke. doubt Kotal Kahn was even planned for at the time. --Byakuya ^{The Slayer of Colossi} 21:23, December 26, 2014 (UTC)

Are you sure though? I mean that's a very weird joke given that it might be part of the plot of the game.

I mean, in no MK have we seen Mayans right? Now, out of nowhere comes one and in the last MK ending (though none cannon) speaks of an invasion done by these Mayans. 

Also note that it says that the Mayans are inavding outworld, outworld isn't taking over any Mayan realm, this certainly means that it worked out for the Mayans given that Kotal has KAHN in his name, which we all now is a title given to leaders.

And you're right, Kotal Kahn wasn't planned back then but this might show that they atleast had it in mind. Plus, with Shao Kahn gone, Kotal Kahn might be the main antagonist of the game.

Pretty sure it's a reference to the Mayan calendar ending sometime in 2012, and people thinking the end of the world was coming at that time (which the Outworld invasion did resemble). Smoke^{Sound off!} 22:16, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

exactly, the game was released in 2011 when idiots were at their worst with that end of the world shit. nothing more than an easter egg. --Byakuya ^{The Slayer of Colossi} 05:18, December 28, 2014 (UTC)
