Does everyone in this thread seriously see no problem with saying "Sonya's parallel is Catwoman"? I mean, honestly you don't have a problem grouping two characters that have absolutely nothing in common together?

Yeah, Wonder Woman is a "princess". Kitana is a "princess". But beyond that, the similarities just cease to be. Let's for, a moment, consider what Boon said about where this game would fall in a "what if" timeline, around MK2 times. In MK2, Kitana was more of an anti-hero than an actual hero because she wasn't on the "good" side at that point. This relates a whole lot more to Catwoman, who has a similar storyline, than to Wonder Woman who is the female Superman, prototypically good. Much like who? Sonya. Then people are saying you can compare Sonya and Catwoman based on fighting styles? Since when has Sonya been about grace? Kitana's fighting has always been more about finesse and grace. Sonya has always represented power and control, much again, like Wonder Woman and not like Catwoman.

Anyway, just thought I'd say that. It's surprising how many people are willing to relate Sonya to Catwoman just because they are the only two females left. Catwoman cannot be linked to anyone other than Kitana. Not even Mileena, because Mileena is truly evil and Catwoman is not. You guys have really got to look beyond the fact that Catwoman will have a fatality. That doesn't mean she will be "evil", I don't believe that DC would allow a inaccurate portrayal of one of their characters, and Catwoman being anything like Mileena is completely inaccurate. She relates best to Kitana, because they both started out as not true heroes, and became antiheroes, and later true heroes. Also, they both have romantic links to the main star in their universes. So really, that's a case closed in my opinion.
