Hey guys,
Crusty here and we all knew this question was going to pop on on this forum if it hasn't already. Maybe not and I'm just stupid, but that's besides the point I'm about to address here. My personal interpretation of Tri-borg and Smoke's connection
With the somewhat disappointing reveal for Kombat Pack 2, it intrigues me to no end what Tri-borg is or the emphasis behind the character.
Let's start with Smoke, we all know smoke died in MK9 and his ending in MK9 stated that he was brought back as an Enenra but his memories of that point became suppressed (supposedly due to trauma of the incident as I see it). MKX makes this ending somewhat canon but not really as Smoke calls himself Enenra. This is where my first hint of suspicion rose: I thought either Smoke refers to himself that way now OR (and this is a big OR) when Smoke died his spirit was exorcised from his body and now the his Enenra controls it under the obedience of Quan Chi and Shinnok. I later thought that I was being stupid and overthinking this, but it made me wonder as the way he said made it odd.
With the reveal of Tri-borg I became very skeptical where it stated that Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke share the same body, which wouldn't be possible because we all know Smoke was not turned into a cyborg in this timeline because Raiden saved him from it (causing a time distortion which caused Sub-Zero to become one instead).
This transformed my initial suspicion into belief that Smoke was kicked out of his body (for whatever reason) and as an effort to get it back, his human soul took refuge in the grey robot and takes the power of Cyrax and Sektor to help himself get his own body back.
My question is though why? From what I understood, Smoke was completely obedient as a revenant in MK9 so why did you think Quan Chi did such a thing (unless of course he didn't do it). What are your personal interpretations of this.
