Who reanimated Liu Kangs corspe?
It's currently an unanswered mystery, but there are many theories roaming around. Sub-Zero7th has told me that he believes Shinnok to be behind it, but I've also heard that Havik was the one who reanimated his corspe. You know it might be Havik reviving Liu Kang in his ending as if he revived Shao Kahn (most likely not now though) and thus if he revives Liu Kang he gives Earthrealm more of a fighting chance and thus continues the chaos.

Something to wonder about, I don't suppose we'll know until MK7

He's not talking about who brings Liu Kang back together in one piece. He's talking about the one who reanimated Liu Kang's body and used it as a tool of destruction.

How would Havik have the power to do something like that?

My guess would be Kano

Since the deadly alliance won in MK5, I would guess a combination of Shang Tsung's and Quan Chi's endings came true. And in both endings Kane gains power that will allow him the power to control something like that.

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
In Shang Tsung's ending, Kano steals Quan Chi's amulet. Then in Quan Chi's ending, it seems like Kano dies and Liu Kang possesses him, so it could be like a payback. Also in Kano's own ending, he also has possession of the amulet.

There's no way it can be either Kano or Havik. Kano is too ridiculous to consider. Quan Chi's ending didn't happen and was done for a laugh (Midway admitted this), and neither Kano or Shang Tsung's endings can have come true due to later events contradicting them. Neither of them ever get the amulet, which goes from Quan Chi to Onaga. Havik does not gain the powers of ressurection until his ending, which may or may not actually happen. He gets them AFTER taking Onaga's heart.

My best guess for now is that it was Onaga. We know he has the power to ressurect the dead, and Liu Kang's bio tells us that his reanimated corpse went around killing innocent people, which is why his spirit (which was somehow still good) had to fight and stop it. Shinnok is another good guess, but we won't know for sure until at least MK7.

I'm kind of glad that you got to the Quan Chi's ending not happening thing before I did.

Anyway, I don't think Onaga was the one who reanimated Liu Kang's body since his body was in Earthrealm and Onaga was reborn in Outworld and then he went to the Nexus, took the Kamidogu, headed back into Outworld, took Shinnok's amulet, and eventually went with Tanya to Edenia to find information on how to fuse the Kamidogu so it wouldn't be logical that he went to Earthrealm at anytime.

I think when Shang Tsung died in raidens blast to stop onaga, shang tsung,s soul went into liu kang's body. also because the one who re animated liu kangs body know all his moves and fighting styles and thats mostly likely Shang Tsung. Who knows i could be wrong.confused

Uh, I don't think so, because Shang Tsung died in Outworld and Liu Kang's body was in Earthrealm. Also, Liu Kang's body had no soul in it thus why its a zombie.

To supertim: lol...yeah, he better play differently as in better. Hopefully, he won't have his cheesy laugh from his ending.

*puts on Shinnok's voice* Farewell, Thunder God. hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahahaha......eh, you get the idea...tongue

No, it's not Onaga and I already explained why. Check one of my previous posts in here and you'll see what I mean.

Since there are endings that happen even before some bios (such as Sub-Zero ending being mentioned in Hotaru's Bio), my bet goes to Havik, after consuming Onaga's organ, travelled to earth and resurrected Liu's body to create more chaos.

It could possibly be Quan Chi. Look at him before Raiden's blast, he turns around like a little bitch, it could be possible that he teleported to Earthrealm and re-animated Liu Kang's body to get sum1 to fight for him, leaving Quan Chi hiding in Earthrealm or in his chamber re-charging his health. other than that it is unknown to me.

I don't think so. Havik's ending couldn't have possibly happened before his bio. The reason why I say this is because the reanimation of Liu Kang's body happened before or during Onaga's entrance into Shang Tsung's palace. Also, we can't be certain if Onaga will be killed. Maybe he'll still be alive and more on the winning side in MK7.

Sub-Zero's ending happens after Hotaru's bios. After Sub-Zero defeated the band of Tarkata that were after him in the Living Forest, Hotaru appeared, finally finding the Lin Kuei Grandmaster, and attacked him. Sub-Zero defeated Hotaru and thought he had killed him, but Kenshi wasn't so sure of that (according to Kenshi's bio). After Sub-Zero found, healed, and teamed up with Kenshi, Hotaru began to secretly follow them. What will happen next is uncertain.

It does look like he turns around, but how could he have had enough time to make a portal to escape? Also, with the way Shinnok's amulet got into the possession of Onaga, it does look like Quan Chi got blasted into pieces. Then again, this can't be fully certain. Either way, I really don't think Quan Chi has the power to reanimate dead bodies. If he did, wouldn't you think that he would've done that after Shang Tsung killed Liu Kang and absorbed his soul? That would definitely create trouble for Kung Lao and the other Wu Shi Academy members.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like I said before, I still say that it's Shinnok due to his ability of body construction and those sorts of things (e.g. Sindel, Mileena, and most likely even Scorpion and Noob Saibot). If it's not him, then it's definitely some new character we may see in a future MK game.

Who ever did reanimate Liu Kang's corpse, it was definatley for an evil purpose. Onaga would be a good choice but you must also consider the fact that Onaga was in Outworld at the time when Deadly Alliance and Deception had taken place.

In Deadly Alliance Liu Kang was killed in Earthrealm, and after that time Onaga was brought to life in Outworld. I don't think Onaga would have even thought of Liu Kang during this time. I think he was focused on Shujinko gathering all the Kamidogu so that he can be brought back into power.

The person that revived Liu Kang must have known that Liu Kang was the champion of Mortal Kombat and Earth's greatest warrior. The person had to be in Earthrealm at the time Liu Kang was revived. If someone's magic could even reach Liu Kang from another realm they would be damn powerful and I don't think any character has that much ability in them to do such an incredible task.

You must consider Havik, I say he's the most possible character to bring back Liu Kang. First, Havik was well aware that Onaga would be a character that can restore order to the realms. That is the very thing that Havik despises and started a religion against. Now who would be a warrior with enough strength to beat a great and powerful king with an undead army? A great and powerful undead warrior would be the best tool to use.

You would need a warrior to posess great strength, a champion, a warrior that can beat a prince,sorceror, emperor, and an elder god in combat. Liu Kang would have been the perfect warrior to use, and if you can control a skill that Liu Kang posseses to your cause you would be very fortunate to see your goals set forth.

Now was Havik in Earthrealm at all in Mortal Kombat? I think so. Kabal is a character that would be able to answer this question. First Havik had met Kabal somewhere, and I doubt it was Outworld. If Kabal had met Havik in Outworld then I believe that Kobra and Kira would not even be involved in Deception.

Kabal mentioned that he was almost dead when Havik found him and Havik had restored him back to help. I don't remember if it was with magic or Kabal healed on his own but Havik was there to help him. Havik must have been in Earthrealm at that time.

Also, if Havik has the ability to heal Kabal from a deadly wound then would he not have the power to bring back a deceased warrior from the dead. Liu Kang's soul was devoured by Shang Tsung so if Liu Kang's corspe was reanimated it would have no purpose. No purpose is chaotic, chaotic is Havik's nature. I bet Havik brought back Liu Kang's body unaware of the steps Liu Kang had travelled, I bet Havik has no idea that Liu Kang was friends with Cage, Kung Lao, and Sonya and all of that. All Havik wanted was another pawn in the cause for chaos.

Man, I think I should become a detective.

That's a very interesting post, Grizzle. It does make sense except for the part about him being able to reanimate the dead. I simply think that Havik healed Kabal's wounds, that's all. I really don't think that Havik has such a power. Then again, maybe he does.

Even so, I still say Shinnok, because he did have a part in Sindel's resurrection. Shinnok was in the Netherrealm yet he helped Shang Tsung and the Shadow Priests have her rebirth in Earthrealm itself. Also, Shinnok does have something to do with the zombies in the Netherrealm. Yes, MKD's Konquest isn't all that accurate, namely due to timeline fuck ups and things like Jade being good way before Kitana's rebellion, but still, the zombies in the Netherrealm have to count for something.

If I remember correctly, having them as zombies was some kind of punishment to them or something. I guess I'll have to head back into MKD's Konquest for more clarification, but I still think it makes more sense for Shinnok to be the one responsible, especially to get back at Liu Kang and Raiden.
