Earlier today, Ed Boon's official website, Noob.com, was updated with a sketchy concept art that resembles many of the stick figure drawings found in the Krypt of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. This concept seems to show a character performing a fatality or brutality on another with the use of water and a shark. Most likely, this is indeed a concept of the DC Universe hero Aquaman.

The placement of a hook on his right hand (though this is historically the wrong hand) would seem to indicate that it is indeed Aquaman. However, all MK fans should keep in mind that Ed Boon has not always updated his website with factual information. One very memorable "joke" Boon placed on his website many years ago was a concept drawing for a character named Zebron. This zebra humanoid never appeared in any Mortal Kombat games despite this.

Aquaman's inclusion in the game would also conflict with the clues that Kotaku posted a while back, which have so far been quite accurate. In any event, we'll keep you posted on the details should more be forthcoming.

Thanks to forum member for the lead on this story.
