good theory also Ninja_Arts..


speaking of mk6- this is going to be 1 of the best told mk stories ever. i think..

Ninja_Arts Wrote: Allright, When i had first posted this theory, I had only expected open ideas, and now it's even more welcome. So below, I'll be stating points that will probably prove Reptile's not being the Dragon King. First I won't even state that thier appearence difference, because Reptile's ending stated otherwise, but Reptile's ending said nothing of him BECOMMING the Dragon King. If you can, Prove it.Second Reptile's basic use was a body guard, a secret, a killer to all whom oppose his master. This role is perfect for Reptile. The Dragon King will finally fulfill Reptile's wishes and the Reptile will greatly aid the Dragon King in his new Suited Beast like Form. The Reptile we all know as a ninja, is gone. Although possible as a secret character, He's gone. It says so in his ending.Third This is for everyone who's so God damned sure of themselves about Reptile being the Dragon King. In an Interview logged on here someplace, a Question was asked if Reptile becomes the Dragon King, and the reply from the Midway Official was 'Something happens to him..." But that was all that was stated. Correct me if I'm wrong.Fourth Reptile was confirmed by about 4 magazines allready. Every other character confirmed by a magazine has been shown so far, except for the exception of Sektor. Please, don't kid yourselves. That's all I have so far.

That's cause info leaks out, and the it spreads like peanut buttter on filet mignon!!!

As the situation stands, we know two facts:

1) The Dragon King is the final boss of MKD.

2) Reptile is a playable character according to confirmed sources.

I've been told two different things by multiple(so far accurate) sources. I don't even know what to believe anymore.

Great theories Ninja Arts. Those are good reasons as to why Reptile most likely isn't the DK. The second reason is definitely one that needs to be taken into consideration. What you said there is true and Reptile wants a master. The Dragon King would be the perfect master for him.

I guess in time we will find out the truth.

U know what i think happened to Reptile, i think that that beam that went into made the Dragon King just take over his body kinda killing Reptile. So Reptile isnt really the DK just the Dk took his body to be reborn. Imo

Man I really hope reptile doesn’t want or need a master any more! Its time for him to take control of his life! Be a leader to his people! Even though they r dead. Maybe some way some how they could still be alive... or maybe he can find a way to bring them back to life

This post of yours is amusing Dan. lol If you'd have been following Reptiles story properly since MK4 you'd know that he wants what you just said. The funny thing is, the thing you don't want him to do is the thing he's been doing in order to do the thing you want him to do.

In other words, Reptile wants a master, then when he has fulfilled his duties, he wants his master to restore Zaterra and return Reptile to his home realm as ruler. See his MK4 ending for details on that, even though that ending didn't actually happen.

I'm not sure if he still wants his realm restored as they never touched that are of his story in MKDA, but it could be a hidden agenda.

HIS bio in mk2-Shang Tsung's personal protector, Reptile lurks in the shadows, stopping all
those who would do his master harm. His human form is believed to disguise a
horrific reptilian creature whose race was thought extinct millions of years
ago. He enters the contest hoping to defeat all and protect his master.

"slave" to shang tsung

bio umk3-Always a reliable servant to Shao Kahn, Reptile is chosen to assist Jade in the capture of Kitana. In contrast to Jade's instructions, Reptile is ordered to stop the renegade princess at all costs...even if it means her own death.

"slave" to shao kahn

bio mk4-A general in Shinnok's Army of Darkness, Reptile once belonged to an extinct race of reptilian creatures. He was banished to the Netherealm for committing genocide against several species. Responsible for the death of millions, Reptile is a dangerous ally to the forces of evil.

"slave" to shinnok

mkda bio-Reptile's detour to Kitana's base camp had delayed him just long enough for Shang Tsung and Quan Chi to spring their attack on Shao Kahn. Reptile was devastated that he had failed his master and wandered the Outworld wastelands aimlessly until he once again crossed paths with Nitara. Desperately in need of a master, he offered his loyalty to her. Her first command was to attack the invader from the Earthrealm, Cyrax. She explained that he must first destroy his arm panel in order to weaken the outsider.

"slave" to nitara

1-don’t mock me unless u know what Ur talking about...
2-dont ever quote or follow a MORTAL KOMBAT ENDING. As we all know they barely ever happen...

The only thing we can follow r beginning bios.
Not once is it mentioned that he wanted to get back his realm and his people. It may have happened in an ending of his, but clearly none of his endings have come true. Example is mk4 just because we find out in reptile ending that he made a pact w/ shinnok to help him and that after they had succeeded shinnok was to "resurrect" or send him back in time to be w/ his people... the pact was never mentioned in his mk4 starting bio... only in an ending, meaning it was only a thought of the mk team.. But they never followed upon it...

the only thing we do know is that reptile follows who ever is in power, and evil... my idea is that his goal should actually be trying to get back to his people.. Not be a slave to some 1 for this to happen, but for him to fight for it!! for it to be his goal for once... technically it has never been on his agenda only in his endings... which they have never happened

I said the whole idea could be a hidden agenda on Reptiles behalf and I did say that his MK4 endng never happened. I mentioned it to go with the fact that it could be a hidden agenda. I did however make the mistake of saying that he was actually trying to have his realm restored.

Reptile wants to be enslaved, but right now it seems he wants revenge. If he did become the Dragon King he could restore his realm if he wanted to. If he is the Dragon King servant he could ask for this as a reward. It could be a hidden motive. Just because it was never official, it doesn't mean it cannot happen later on.

ok... lets kiss and make out err i mean make up now..

lol Sure, man! We'll make out... I mean make up right now!

I posted this in another thread; Reptile should be a sub-sub-boss, like Shang Tsung in MK2, with higher AI.

so your battle plan would be:

12-Dragon King
11-Sub-Boss
10-Reptile
09-Rival 3
08-Rival 2
07-Rival 1
06-Random battle
05-random battle
04-random battle
03-random battle
02-random battle
01-Random battle

Great idea, man. Reptile would be good in that role and then we can have another sub boss. Arcade would be more challenging this way.

also remember the name...DECEPTION~~ which means everyone thinks they know it all until Ed Boon begins to fuck with ur head!!! I think hes gonna do sumthin completely different way with the DK character...also has anyone noticed that the DK bears a striking resemblance to True Ogre of Tekken 3??

Hmm deception eh?

What if the life force of the DK is in reptile, but the body manifests? So the DK in his old body in unstopable, but his vulnerability in in Reptile? Think kinda like the crow.

Every MK so far, the mid boss has been techinally bigger and harder than the final boss.

Another theory is that you fight Dk in the huge body, then you fight Reptile! What if Boon's "the sub-boss is playable" is just a twist on words, a deception?! We get to play as the weaker boss (hints of MK4).

Moves for a super Reptile
Giant Force-Ball: kinda like MK movie Sub-zero. He can eminate a giant ball around him and then it shrinks back.
Acid Spit: classic
Slash and Slash: Kinda like Baraka's blade fury, but reptile goes at you with claws.
Tounge grab: Works like Scorpion's spear.

Also Reptile could also walk on the ceiling and stick to the walls of the arena.

I wouldn't want the Dragon King in Reptiles body. It wouldn't be either of them then, but rather a possession. It's a good theory and very plausible. I'm not sure how it'd work in terms of character familiarity though. The Dragon King needs his own body.

Reptile as the fianl boss? Not happening. The Dragon King was confirmed in that position.

Great special moves! Those abilities would rock!

If Reptile returns as Reptile, he better not:

1o Look like a ninja, those days are gone.

2o Look like a Dragon lizard, its enough with the Dragon King.

My guess is that Reptile will look more like a prehistoric dinosaur.

He won't be a ninja. He is supposed to be more evolved upon his return. A result of his continuing evolution and the light that pierced his body.

Not too sure about the Dragon Lizard thing, but he will be evolved apparently.
