A lot of people have been wondering what Ermac's purpose in the game would be, considering his status as a being made up of many souls.

My theory is this. Perhaps Ermac was caught in the Soulnado somehow(didnt he disperse again and return to the neatherrealm after MKT?), because wasn't it getting its souls from the Neatherrealm? So maybe the souls that make up Ermac were put into Dragon Army soldiers by Shang Tsung. And if the theory that Raiden's release of his essence did indeed whipe out the whole DK army, it would have released the souls that form Ermac once again.

I am thinking that the DA survived, and are now working under the DK. So maybe, rather than returning to the Neatherrealm, Ermac materialized himself once again and ventured into Outworld for revenge against the DA.

Just my idea.

Good theory, but there are two points I have to disagree with.

First, I don't think Ermac dispersed after MKT. We know Kenshi "freed" Ermac, but what that means is left up to interpretation, but I believe it meant Ermac was contained under the orders of Kahn and Kenshi freed him from these shackles. I don't think it meant that he reverted back into the thousands of souls that he's comprised of. After all, he had to have been in physical form when he taught Kenshi telekensis. But I do agree that Raiden's sacrafice might have influenced both his being and his actions.

The second point I disagree with is the status of the DA. I don't think they're working for the DK now. Actually quite the contrary. One of the stages might have confirmed my believe that Quan Chi went into hiding. I honestly think the deadly alliance is scared shitless.

It's entirely possible, TinMan. Hopefully the next set of bios we get includes Ermac so we can see if this happens. Good theory.
Edit: Temp - I'd be scared shitless too. wink

Hey, sorry to bump this but I wanted to see what others think of my theory and re-posting it would have been spam IMO because I've posted it here already.
