Before I dig into this, I want to say that I have lurked this site for years and I have never felt compelled to make an account until this thread. I'm honestly shocked at how many people actually think Bi-Han is Sub-Zero in MKX. They literally did the same ad campaign in MK9, and people assumed that because Raiden altered the time-line, the elder Sub-Zero(then unnamed) would live in place of the more iconic Sub-Zero from pretty much every game except MK1 and MKMSZ. f I had to speculate, I would assume that NRS chose not to do this because it was easily the most obvious choice for a "Blunder God does this but it leads to these unexpected consequences" event in the MK1-3 plotlines, and what they wanted to do was be surprising. But before I go unintentionally giving MK9's story mode too much credit, the story-line was pretty haphazard in general. I'm actually not too surprised people are reading too much into the Noob soulnado thing. I don't think it's wise to assume NRS actually had a plan when they wrote that scene. Either way, Noob Saibot was Noob Saibot, not Bi-Han. He was not one of Quan Chi's revenants and would not have been restored to life after the Netherealm War. If you guys are seriously reading the comics, I don't see how this can be confusing. Thus far, we have seen one(ONE) Sub-Zero. We know he used to be a Revenant for Quan Chi during the War, but he isn't now. We have seen him acquire a scar. We have even seen in-game allusions to his undead status as a former Revenant given a second chance in the in-game intro dialogues. He's Kuai Liang. We also learned from the comics that some unknown demon has been tearing through the realms. As far as demons go, we have a short list of pre-existing characters, and since Boon confirmed the final boss as a returning character, Noob Saibot seems like a good fit. How about a new, more plausible, Soulnado theory. What if Noob Saibot was so evil that he corrupted the Soulnado? Scorpion, powerful as he is, was never really that evil. He was just pissed off. Noob Saibot however relished in how evil he had become. The Brotherhood of Shadow does get a faction slot over Outworld, despite only really have Quan Chi as a representative.
