From the Palace Gates of Shang Tsung's Island, to the battle ravaged streets of Earthrealm 25 years later: The only constant shared by two generations is the need to fight! The tournament called Mortal Kombat has made legends of champions, and warriors of mortals. With a new generation of challengers emerging - it all begins again!

April 14th saw the long awaited release of Mortal Kombat X! Ending a four year cycle, the new game has changed the way we view the series and its fighters, challenging us to ask: Who's Next?

It is a question we've asked annually for years - each time finding a different answer! In 2014, the unknown of a looming sequel fuelled a whole new perspective. After months of debate and many thousands of votes, we crowned fan-favourite Ermac the ultimate victor! With Mortal Kombat X here, everything has changed! True champions must defend their title, and we must ask the eternal question with evolving truth: Who is the Supreme Mortal Kombat Champion?

The ultimate fan voting tournament has become an annual celebrated tradition on Mortal Kombat Online - summoning the entire fanbase to agree on a single champion from sixty-four fighters! In 2015: the battle will be tougher than ever! Mortal Kombat X will inform the entire bracket, introducing first-time competitors and omitting old favorites! Read on to learn more about what it all means and how you can join in! Visit the Fan Koliseum to share your votes and discuss battles more in depth!

As noted; we will once again bring together sixty-four kombatants in a single elimination tournament bracket. Each result will be determined one fight at a time by regularly unlocked updates to the MK Online User Poll [located top left]. This means it's up to you to determine which character will defeat his opponents to emerge Supreme Champion!

In 2015, little can be taken for granted! A growing roster of kombatants means not everyone can make it into this year's draw! Mortal Kombat X will provide primary inspiration for fighter selection, while tabulated results from all previous tournaments will influence forced relegation. The top two fighters have been seeded at the top and bottom positions of our bracket - both former champions! The remaining fighters ranked in the Top 16 will also gain guaranteed entry into this year's event - seeded at the ends of each cell. Brackets have been semi-randomized within this system.

Criteria for voting is completely up to you, but as this is an annual event, we recommend focusing primarily on the current versions of characters seen in Mortal Kombat X! [Note: We always suggest voting for characters, rather than against them.]

Voting is key to the process, but we want to know your opinions as well! Get creative and show your support of a favourite character by adopting forum avatars and custom signatures! User Settings will allow you to select from hundreds of character avatars in the User Icon Library, or upload your own. Create and include a character signature, or edit the default template [below]. You can show your support by posting in the Fan Koliseum - the home of fantasy fights and kommuntiy forum games! Above all else - get involved and have fun doing so!

Mortal Kombat has always been and will always be! Throughout the ages there has always been a Mortal Kombat Champion -- a fighting warrior ready to defend their title, or die trying! In 2015 we gather sixty-four characters to once again ask the question: Who is the Supreme Mortal Kombat Champion? ... FIGHT!

Despite its robust story mode; Mortal Kombat X leaves many stones unturned across its 25 year saga of war and redemption! Fortunately, DC Comics continues to fill in the gaps with its top selling digital and print serials. 13th Dimension has an illuminating preview for Mortal Kombat X #6 - where Sub-Zero is dealing with one of his secrets.

Sub-Zero's transformation into a Lin Kuei cyborg was one of the bombshells of the new timeline introduced in Mortal Kombat (2011)! Restored by Raiden during the plot of the game: the man named Kuai Liang is clearly haunted by the memory of his experiences. Sub-Zero endured cybernetic conversion, to being reborn in the Netherrealm as a human revenant under the control of Quan Chi! Finally his secret origin can be told!

Mortal Kombat X #6 goes on sale in all good comic stores Wednesday, May 13th! Note: The print edition contains digital chapters 16-18, written by Shawn Kittelsen and drawn by Daniel Sampere. The cover by Stephen Segovia & Rod Reis features Kotal Kahn and his loyal followers.
