I personally think its a tie between Reptile & Baraka, but who do you guys think is MK2011's punching bag?

I definitely agree with you on Sheeva being a punching bag, she's always been one, in every game she's appeared in.

Well, everyone who showed up as an opponent several times without ever being playable in the Story Mode. So that would include Ermac and Sektor as well, not to mention Goro and Kintaro.
By the way, shouldn't this be in the MK2011 section?

Then don't forget Mileena, Shang Tsung, Noob Saibot & Quan Chi. Yeah it probably should but ehh.

I wouldn't call them punching bags though. They are henchmen of a greater evil and are sent out to fight the good guys, it's only natural they would be the opponents to defeat throughout the storyline.

Reptile.

Seriously, Mileena and Ermac aren't ones because at least they get an "Awesome" moment or two in the story (Her appearance and tearing off Jax's arms)

Sektor, Baraka and Sheeva at least get to bollock a lackey or two.

Reptile has nothing. He appears and he gets his arse kicked. The reverse of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Sektor is mine.

Baraka I would have to say is probably a universal punching bag for everyone. Could be wrong on that, but sometimes I just want a break from Sektor and Baraka becomes my punching bag.lol.

If I should choose a character I like to beat up, then it would be Cage. Don't know why, I just like to beat him up. ^^

I always saw Sheeva being the punching bag... At least in the story she was.

Well the bad guys are going to lose when you fight them as the good guys regardless. to be a punching bag, I think a character not only has to lose a lot, but also lack personality and development over the course of the story.

Characters like Mileena, Ermac, and Shang Tsung, although they got beaten up a lot (except maybe Ermac), aren't really punching bags because you can see that they each have personalities.

I'd say characters like Goro and Baraka, and Kano are borderline punching bags. Goro and Kano get very little time. But Sonya and Kabal's chapters give us the gist of Kano's personality, and Goro had an okay introduction in Liu Kang's chapter. As for Baraka, he is just the brute who loves to fight, but that's all his story's ever been about. He always sides with the bad guys just for some more violence.

The biggest punching bag of this game in my eyes is Reptile without a doubt. Not only does he get beaten up every time you see him, but he also doesn't talk and his story is never even hinted at throughout the whole story mode. The closest thing he has to a personality is his hissing. I really think that Reptile is the perfect example of a character getting screwed over.

Baraka is cool [Killswitch] don't get me wrong, he's just fun to test combos on for me but I've always liked using him ever since MK2 grin

I'd like to have seen 'Spam' Kahn as a punching bag. More as an act of revenge for 4-5 unavoidable hammer throws in a row than anything else.
