Pardon me if anybody has theorized this already.


I was just sitting around today thinking of the character. I really am excited to see what sort of path Smoke had taken to get from where he was on MK9/X's story to being not only a Cyborg somehow a compiled trio featuring two other beings very different from himself.

When I look at the announcement trailer for Kombat Pack 2, I just can't help but wonder who it really is that initiated this assembly. It makes sense for Sektor to do this as a backup plan or to gain more power to stand up to Kuai Liang. I can't really see Cyrax or Smoke doing it in the new timeline unless it was needed for a last chance at survival.

I found myself thinking of all the paths he could have taken. Triborg sounds very similar to Sektor's mka ending. So my first guess is that this is indeed Sektor. But if it was Smoke, why? Where and how? It just wasn't striking me as something that made sense. The cyber initiative ended before we had seen Human Smoke fighting for the netherrealm. So how?

If this character is canon, there needs to be an explanation. Then I thought of the existing Smoke from the old timeline. He's already well-aware of the themes of mandatory absence of choice between the cyber initiative and from being reprogrammed by Bi-Han in Outworld to become "Noob-Smoke".
With the Technology within them, potential Tekunin advancements and every other power in MK, could this be a plot to attack Subzero in a different time? Did the old NoobSaibot send smoke to accomplish something using The new Sektor and Cyrax's salvaged bodies? Could this really be a different Smoke from the previous timeline? If not, how do you think he and Triborg came to be like this?



P.s.
