I'm totally into Reiko/Mileena being a thing. Daddy issues much? Fits with Mileena's character perfectly.

I worry about her presentation in the comic, though. Dare we take a bland and MK9-inspired look as a clue that she wasn't redesigned for MKX (and thus won't be appearing)?

I was sure that mileena and baraka were going to be shown in the trailer because everything was was leading to tarkatans. From the old renders on the mag to the portal invasion stage of them snatching humans "they weren't supposed to see". I was thinking mileena got the throne with baraka and they're laying waste. She's in the comic with reiko but it's still possible lol. I bet kotal smashes their shit in the game.

I'm not sure if I'd read too much into that. Kittelsen has talked about how they had to make up some designs for characters due to them not appearing at certain time periods in the game.

NRS: We gon' kill all dem 3D muthafuckas. 'Cept Quan Chi.

Lord I hope that black woman that Jax is training is playable (and Jax!)

She's giving me Queen Latifah in "Set It Off" vibes!

Wonder if the Netherrealm War will feature that Reiko and Mileena relationship and that makes me wonder if they become a thing, what if they have a child that'll be in the game?

Also, didn't one of the summaries say one of Kotal's allies dies? Well, what seems to be hinted as Reptile is right beside Kotal...what if Reptile dies? Also, I think we can see Jax's daughter or family member in the game. Or at least I hope, it gives us another female fighter that's for sure.

The woman Jax is training could be just a generic SF soldier, but how would you guys feel if that's his daughter and she ends up playable?

I could picture her with a boxing type fighting style, something more reliant on punches and evasion and a more jacked look compared to the other female characters. It would be something different.

Too many descendants would feel ridiculous but I'm kinda not against the idea...

I hope she becomes a thing. The jacked look would be a great addition to the female roster. Like I said, she gives me Queen Latifah in Set it Off vibes. I love the cornrows as well. We'll see. Jax is my favorite character, so I'm actually rooting for him as well - more so than this unknown chick.

I say bring em' both on board; the more diversity the better!

I bet Salazar will die

If he's in the show as well, and likely playable, I really don't think they'll kill Salazar off in the comic.

@jax

Jax is the boxer so it makes sense if he's not in the game but I think he will be. She probably has mechanical arms like the start of mk9. For her i'd rather some kid with the golden arms Kung fu shit from Bo. You got the elemental ninjas and the flying guillotines, wheres golden arms? Perfect fit I say. I miss those old Kung fu flicks where the credits rolled as soon as the bad guy hit the ground lol. Good stuff.

If she is a playable one and a boxer is what she is, maybe they're throwing a homage towards ole' Nimbus?

I had to google nimbus but I remember now lol.

Looks like a flesh colored Reptile.. Reminds me of his MK9 mask and cowl...

Awesome! ^ That's gotta be Reptile :), just with the light of the sun making it look like he is a weird colour, same with Kotal. I don't think he has flesh coloured skin or a white outfit, just the choice of colouring by the artist was poor in this shot.

The fact that he has a cool new outfit is good right? Could point to a roster inclusion. Could be nothing either :(
The fact that he is with Kotal may be bad though...pretty sure one of the summaries said one of Kotal's henchmen dies and we know Ferra/Torr is in the game so...:(
It's also slightly sad that he's Kotal's henchman because once again he is the eternal lackey with repeating story.

If it's Chameleon, that's cool too as long as he dies a more horrific death and in a shorter time than Hsu Hao. :P

Reptile might just be able to naturally change hues on a whim.

It doesn't look like he's trying to hide, but I'd imagine a lime green garb would be an easy target for any enemy in broad daylight.

So maybe he's playing it safe.

Or it's faulty coloring, lol.

Actually, looking at it more...it looks like the area around his eyes is light green like his skin is and should be.

From the neck down is a slightly different colour (more brownish/olive) and though at first I thought it was supposed to skin too, now I think it's actually some sort of material. Could be what unleash said above either with skin changing ^

Need to see more though obviously. When does Kotal's chapters begin again? After Cassie?

Terra Briggs maybe? ;)

I can't see them killing Reptile in the comic. He's probably in the top 10 recognizable characters. He's the first ever hidden character in a fighting game. Unless there's a new Saurian to take his place, I don't think Reptile dies. Please God don't let Reptile die.

The Reiko and Mileena combo actually makes sense in a lot of ways.

He was Kahn's general, and she was his heir.

So there's one side of the civil war. Other side could be Kotal/D'Vorah.

There's also the possibility of a Tarkatan/Shokan uprising or rebellion. Which would put Mileena in a very volatile situation. I'm all for that, because if she's still like MK9 Mileena, then she has got to do some growing up to make these tough decisions. It's the classic "nurture" vs "nature" scenario for her.

It's a step in the right direction for Mileena.

She may be one of the other new females we may get. I'm in

girls who date people like their father.... ewww....

But it does make sense for Mileena i guess. She might be missing Shao Kahn's prescence or something.

Plus shes never really going to conquer outworld with a lackey/follower like Baraka. So its an upgrade.

>mfw you think you're in a position to demand anything

If Reptile is in, I really hope he has more of a Cobra / snake face than the lame lizard, chameleon, frog looks he has..

ALL DEALS...ARE OFF!
