There are many fans of other characters.... bu the most importnat thng is not that who is the biggest fan or who is the most popular... the most important thing is that the character has good and original moves and a good, in depth and well plotted story line ( which in my opinon, all the MKA characters don't have it nowdayas..... salysad ).

From what I see, Scorpion and Sub-Zero aren't popular anymore; they're just MK icons.

It seems that Mileena, Tanya, Rain, and Noob Saibot have become the most famous MK characters. I'm not sure; it's just from the observation I've done.

What...? Please elaborate.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero are, just because they're ninjas. Which is the main reason why I hate them - they're "overrated".

Sub-Zero is alright, but I only like him in a few games.

I agree man, I have always hated anything that's classified as "Mainstream" and Sub Zero and Scorpion are way too overrated and seen everywhere. I hate them already. That's why Smoke's my favorite because he's not too well known amongst people who don't know Mortal Kombat. But everyone knows Scorpion and Sub Zero even my grandma! That's bad. But I think that Noob, Reptile, Mileena, and Kung Lao are actually gaining a lot of popularity lately, which is good to see more of simply Sub Zero and Scorpion.

Scorpion & Sub-Zero.
Also Raiden, Reptile, Kitana, and Mileena.

I think anyone else is arguable.

The favorites and iconic characters will always be the ones from the first two games. Maybe from the third too, but definately all the characters from MK1 and MK2.

Based on the topic, it should be "The most people talking about character". If that so, I have to say Khameleon bcuz lately so many threads about her.

I wouldn't call her the most popular, just extremely missed....and for good reason. In a game with all the fighters and her missing but in return given silly bonus added games ie motor kombat and 2 new kharacters(although semi-cool they are, but still). She's probably the most talked about like you said, but not the most popular.

Scorpion and Sub-Zero are Mortal Kombat.

Hating them is the same thing as enjoying the Beatles and hating John and Paul Mcartney because they ́re overrated.

This is ridiculous, just because a lot of people like something you diss it? There ́s no reason for that.

I like every single character from this franchise but it ́s IMPOSSIBLE to call any game MK without those two characters, they ́re they Ryu and Ken of this franchise.

You're as much of a sheep if you try to be anti-mainstream as you are if you follow it, because hating anything popular is a trend in itself now. Being individual isn't about avoiding trends. It's simply about doing what you like. I happen to think Sub-Zero and Scorpion are two of the best, but it doesn't mean I'm following any crowd. I just happen to think they're cool. Same with Kenshi. I'm like the only Kenshi fanboy, but that's not why he's my favorite. I just think he's the coolest character on the Mortal Kombat roster right now. Being true to oneself is what's important, and letting anyone's opinion rule you just makes you another crowd-follower no matter what.

Besides, simply being popular doesn't make a character overrated. It's a matter of whether or not they've earned that popularity. Noob Saibot has done nothing to earn his fan favorite status. He's been a clone character for most of his run in MK, he's had no storyline up to Deception, and he's still using moves from other people (invisibility, ninja stars) after even Smoke has been individualized, so tell me what makes him worthy of more praise than a character who uses their own techniques and isn't just a move-thief. Rain is another one. Rain is a joke character with no real story (Wow! He's Edenian!! wow) and uninspired moves in UMK3/MKT. He had a small fanbase up until Armageddon, when people saw how Ub3r K3wL he looked, so now he's got people who dissed him before riding his dick and claiming to be long-time fans. He's not as popular as Sub-Zero, but I consider him to be much, much more overrated, because at least Sub-Zero's fans have always been Sub-Zero fans.

Well, Sub-Zero and Scorpion are given.

I'd say Kitana, Mileena, Reptile, Raiden, Kung Lao, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Sonya are up there too.

Honourable mentions to Cage, Kang, Smoke, Shao Kahn, Goro, Sektor and Cyrax among others.
