Guys don't be dense, OP is clearly asking if they will stay dead in this Game, not forever. Saying Tsu Hao is beating a dead horse, please let it go.


Nightwolf seemed like the the best of them in terms of power and alliance to the "light" side, if anything, I would have expected he to be the one to resist Quan's corruption, freeing his soul from the Netherrealm. But, as some already pointed out, which characters stay dead seems to be based strictly on popularity.
