I just got to finally read the interview with the MKO staff and Ed Boon and I noticed something. When the question about the sub-boss was mentioned, Boon proclaimed he/she would be "one of the hottest characters we've had in Mortal Kombat". This could mean alot of thing. I have several theory I no particalur order:

1. The sub-boss will be a sexy female, thus "hot".

2. The sub-boss will be a highly popular classic MK character. In this case Shao Kahn, Liu Kang, Reptile, or some other "hot" classic will fill the role.

3. The sub-boss will be made a flame, lava, etc. ala Blaze, thus very "hot"

4. The sub-boss will be someone new Boon absolutely expects to be a smash hit with the fans, thus a "hot" new character.

5. It means nothing, just what came to mind when Boon was talking.

Those are just my theories. Any comments or theories of your own on the sub-boss?

I bet it will be Goro because he said that it will become playable later.

I'm probably going to get flamed to death for this, but here it goes...

It makes sence to me (not saying that I have proof or anything) that it will be Liu Kang. For Liu to show up in a ghost AND a zombie form would make him a powerful enemy if you had to fight him. Let's say you fight his zombie form first for 2 or 3 rounds and beat him...THEN he changes and you have to fight his ghost form. Both forms would be like 2 totally seperate characters...each with their own different set of fighting styles and special moves. When, and if, you beat his ghost form it cuts to a fmv and Liu's soul is released from the clutches of Shang or the Dragon King...whoever has it. I personally have never been a huge fan of Liu, but alot of people are. That is what makes me think Boon meant by a 'hot' character.
I like the idea of some evil undead Liu Kang (Ghost/Zombie) whatever.
Upgraded Specials ect.
Something like the Evil Ken/Ryu in the Street Fighter Series.

That would be cool because Liu Kang wasnt very popular (I am talking about his character not how good he was actualy in gameplay)
and that Evil Liu Kang will be probably become more popular than the orginal. (If he make him cooler, more dark ect.)

i like that theory, and id actually prefer that to be the sub boss. People have asked if the sub boss will be "big" or "goro like", but frankly, that is what the Dragon King is for. Having Liu Kang as a sub boss would add a tremendous twist to the game, and give it a change of pace...especially since this sub boss becomes playable, we can expect it to do a fatality!
