Not likely. From what we've seen already he's pretty angry, also there's a synopsis of issue 3, I believe, which results in Scorpion's new clan being wiped out again and Takeda being possessed. Pretty sure this will reset Scorpion back to his vengeful self
well fuck
1. The timeline is a few years after MK9, and that "many years ago" i believe it was because the game will expand 25 years in the future, so at the course of the game(and maybe even the comics) things will advance a lot.
You might as well mentally erase the entire old timeline. There's MK9, there's 25 years (this), then there's MKX. I think the Netherrealm War will probably be a big part of the games story mode, namely all the 5 years later scenes.
The answer's right there in the book, he was deep cover in Red Dragon hunting Daegand his cover got blown.
It was never clear that Noob died, he just fell into the soulnado and disappeared, a feat which previously Scorpion did and survived. I think it's pretty obvious just from this writing that Shinnok lost whatever the Netherrealm War was. Which means pretty much anybody who was on his or Quan's side could have been "rescued".
Daegon's an Edenian demigod, who knows what he's convinced his followers he can do.
Kano's been living in Outworld for years, I'm sure he's heard about it. Also, Kano's a brigand but he's not an idiot. He rebuilt Kabal, he taught Shao Kahn's army how to use earth weaponry. He's survived for a ton of years with the entire universe trying to kill him. Hell, he probably did his own cybernetics. He's probably one of the more intelligent characters in the series.
The old story beats are dead in this timeline I know, I just want to know for context purposes where all this fits, and who we can anticipate seeing. In the interview I just linked to above, Kittleson said he made list and cut characters from it if they didn't fit in the time frame. I just to be as up to date as I can.
Ok. Yeah. He was a Red Dragon in name, but was never really one of them. From Hsu Hao's perspective, he did betray them.
You make some good speculative points, and before the comic I was thinking that the "new" Sub was going to be Bi Han anyway, still, the comic gives no clues as to who he REALLY is.
True. Deagon was highly underdeveloped in the past game. He could end up being a pretty powerful being. Here's hoping they do him right.
I don't put anything past Kano. He is hella resourceful to say the least, so I see where you are coming from. Still, it's a Kamidogu. Only the Gods know about these things, and it's not like they go around talking with people about them. Does this signify that Kano has some real connections even though Kahn is presumably gone for good? I mean damn, if that is the case, then is/will Kano be a major player in his own right?
He also said though that not all the characters in the comic, I presume minor or major, won't be guaranteed in the game either. It is a real toss up on who we will see, but it would be cool if he were in. Honestly, I call Kenshi being killed at some point in the comic, and his death being the catalyst for some other character's ascension.
I'm pretty confident we'll be seeing Kenshi in the game, which I don't mind. If he doesn't make the cut after all of this i'll be pretty surprised.
And this basically an origin story for Takeda. He could basically be the Robin to Scorpion's Batman.
If he doesn't make the cut after all of this i'll be pretty surprised.
Possibly. I find it interesting that Raiden had no interest in gathering them before, so something real must be under way if he wants them.
