Am I the only person who has no qualms with a character with Earth Powers being brought in, at all, and welcomes the inclusion, but just can NOT get past the name Tremor? It sounds so ridiculous to me, and having a name like that that relates to your powers is stupid imo. Sub-Zero may be an example of a good one, but Tremor doesn't sound nearly as good.

I think that Tremor should officially have his name changed, but maybe have a hint to that original name in his bio or something.

We have our orange/brown ninja with ties to the Black Dragon now. His name is Erron Black.

I guess we could fatten him up, and rename him EarthQuake.

I don't see Erron as a ninja at all, I see him more as a bandit.

On Topic

I don't mind the name Tremor, its not much different than Sub-Zero having Ice powers, Smoke having smoke powers, Rain having water powers, or Reptile being a reptile lol

Yeah, MK ninjas' names aren't exactly creative, part of their charm really.

I like the name Tremor.

But hey, it's no worse that "Scorpion" when you really think about it, because what does "scorpion" really have to do with any of Scorpion's powers? Nada.

Tremor is probably the best codename you could have for an EarthBender. Unless you use a foreign language. Dvorah is supposedly hebrew for something Insect related. Mavado was initially spelled "MaLvado" which is spanish for EviL. BoRaiCho means "drunk" in another language as well. So unless you go that route, Tremor is pretty awesome IMO.

I just played on Google Translate for the fuck of it. Nothing comes up good for Tremor, Earth, Quake, Rock, or Stone. BUT, if he were to have an alias, it should be Pierre Mason. Pierre is French for Stone, and a Stone Mason is someone who reshapes rocks for a Living. ;)

Because Rain, Reptile, Smoke and Sub-Zero are WAY more creative names. Tremor is a fine name that fits. I'd love it if he was in the game or DLC. Boon's been tweeting about him a lot ever since that fan petition got some attention. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up as DLC.

Takeda wears a mask in one of his variations anyway, as seen in the story trailer

Meh why bother. We have one character named Ermac, and when you really just say it out loud out of context, it's a really silly and stupid sounding name.

Then we have Noob Saibot. Again take that away from the sinister wraith and you are laughing your ass off at that name.

MK is full of this stuff so.. meh. Tremor seems to be on of more inoffensive of the pallet swap names.

Nah too dignified for what he was.

I think a more fitting name would be. Cannon Fodder.
