I refuse to believe that. Hornbuckle is Hornbuckle. Liu Kang is Liu Kang. Let me dream a little. Fatality.

I would love to see Bellok as a full blow hidden character in MKD. Also, Hornbuckle was a green Liu Kang in MK2. So maybe zombie liu kang = hornbuckle? Farfetched, i know.

I'd just like to see those three as background characters in Konquest, if at all. Deception has enough playable characters, IMO. No need to water down the whole bunch with three more.

Was the ''green Liu Kang'' ever actually referred to as Hornbuckle by anyone with the power to name characters officially?

What kind of a name is Hornbuckle, anyway?

I think they will only use characters that were in the figthing games and maybe the ones who were in the spin off games.

Comics don't count since they are not part of the MK universe along with rumored or made up characters imo.

When Ed Boon said the MK universe I think he meant playable or fightable game wise.

Most likely, Khameleon and Belokk will show up. Khameleon's already a playable secret character with her own story in MKT, and Belokk was, supposedly, only added into the Japanese version of MK4/MKGold, due to time restrictions. He's already rendered, with his own moves list, and probably his own storyline, too.

They've already revived Dairou, and he was just a concept sketch from MK:DA. I agree that the characters introduced in the comics, tv shows, and movies won't be in it, but characters like Tremor, No-Face, Sareena, and others that have been in official MK games will be in there, since they're a part of the mythology, same as everyone else...
