My money's on Chameleon for some weird reason. I just can't for the life of me believe that a coloring error that bad would occur, or that Reptile has any reason to start wearing white. Maybe they wanted to give him a redesign (an appearance like this would go a way towards establishing him as a a saurian, which is more than he's ever had) rather than use his MKA appearance for some reason; it was said that they made up outfits for some characters whose appearances in set parts of the timeline they weren't sure of.

IMO he'll be the fallen ally Kotal tries to avenge, going the way of Hsu Hao.

Honestly, I agree. Reptile in MK4 was a fucking brutal badass.

I think is not an human disguise. It's just lighting

Possibly the lighting by Raiden's powerful electricity?

Kittelsen saíd "dont let the lighting trick you". This is why the colours look different on him.

I agree. The colors are obviously washed out the closer you get to the edge of the picture. Even Kotal Kahn is washed out a little color-wise.

I don't think he is sporting human skin at all, with the washed out colors it still has a touvh of green in the skin.

I had a feeling a while ago they would keep his humanoid figure from mk9, my only hope was that they would strap a better costume on him and they did. If it is him I am happy.

It's obviously Reptile just going by the face/skin, although if Khameleon is supposed to be the same race as Reptile, maybe Chameleon is too, but they dont look similar...

Chameleon has always been portrayed as somewhat of an enigma. It would be really interesting if they were to define him in such a hard physical form as this.

I just don't think that would be the art direction you would go with him.. but alas I am not the artist so what do I know?

Haha thanks 0RI0N. I'm hopeful too, can't get ahead of myself though.

Reiko still has a shot too ayyy!

Tell me about it. There literally hasn't been a single game where he wasn't a beast. MKDA Reppy got it the worst, but even then he still packed a punch. Idk man, the way the story is playing out, everything is feeling very fresh. Even though there's still a lot we don't know about the main plot in the game, it really seems like they're trying to break the molds that a lot of the classics have been stuck with.

Does anyone remember when Reptile brainwashed Sonya into marrying Shao Kahn in the Malibu comics? It's been so long and I was so young, but wasn't it some sort of eye-gazing induced hypnosis?

All hail...THE HYPNO-TOAD!

It could just be glare on the costume. But if it is Chameleon, it's a hell of a cool redesign and almost a shame that we may never actually see it realized.

Yep, as someone stated above, I too noticed on the bottom of the mask appears to be two fang like shapes, similar to a snake.

This detail combined with the artist's twitter comments about the lighting and "an old fav" confirms it for me.

its not a "coloring error" it's a "coloring trick". It was done on purpose.

Kittelsen said it's ether C/Khameleon or Reptile. He then said "don't let the coloring trick fool you". This means that the ninja we're looking at isn't actually grey. So that cancels out C/Khameleon.

There's only one multiple choice answer left.

Yes, I don't see what is so difficult to understand here.

It's Reptile. Gotta be.

I was sold on "old favorite". Chameleon is definitely NOT.

I know, but which "lighting"? The lighting from where they are or the light coming off of Raiden's electricity? We don't know as it's not said where the lighting comes from.

I also know it's Reptile because you can see the right part of his face is green (zoom in).

THIS


Thats what i was trying to say.


Chameleon is not an old favourite!

No, he said "don't let the lighting trick you." He never said anything about a "coloring trick."

Well Chameleon is one of MY old favorites, haha. But his overall fanbase in no way qualifies him to be hinted to as a "favorite".

It's Reptile, fersure.

If he didn't use that hint, I would say it's a whole other Saurian/Zaterran meaning Kotal (or someone else, maybe even Reptile) has restored Reptile's race.

The question isnt which charcter it is, the question is with having a new look and being with kotal, does that mean Reptile will be in MKX.....easy answer YES no more reason to debate

Perhaps, but my deductive reasoning still stands. It's not an error, and the ninja isn't really grey. So reptile.

A green skinned, scaled ninja with a new attire?

It has to be Reptile or a new raptor resurrected by Kotal Kahn.

Reptile or not... But after the preview about Kotal losing an ally I'm more worried that this ninja will die and with this won't appear in MKX

here he is
