Earlier today I put together a neat little list about Mortal Kombat characters I’d like to see return to Mortal Kombat 11 following the epic set of reveals we had yesterday. Brain storming roster picks got me thinking about who I would to see added – well, at all – and bear with me because some of my picks are purely out of fandom-sake and may seem a bit silly.

Let’s get started, shall we?
Michael Myers
With Michael Myers making his way onto the big screen once more with the newย Halloweenย movie out, it would be the perfect time to see the masked serial killer make his way onto the roster. I mean, let’s be real – theย Mortal Kombatย series has already seen Freddie Kreuger, Jason Voorhees, and Leatherface – why not good ‘ol Mikey?ย
Spawn
Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has already previously stated that he “believes” the character is “on his way” onto theย Mortal Kombatย 11ย roster, though no official confirmation has been made at this time. What would make this great is that Spawn was actually supposed to be inย Mortal Kombatย X,ย but the deal between Warner Bros. never ended up working out.ย
The anti-hero would be perfect – especially now that we’ve seen Raiden basically go full-onย Injustice 2ย Superman in that thrilling cinematic reveal.ย
Marcus from Gears of War
OK, soย Gears of Warย isn’t the immediate go-to forย Mortal Kombat,ย but hear me out! Two words: Chainsaw Lancer. The chainsaw equipped weaponry would be perfect for theย Mortal Kombatย universe and Marcus has the gruff badassery required to survive in a world likeย Mortal Kombat.ย
I would also pay very big money to see him go up against Barakaย – I’m just saying.ย
Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher
You may laugh but let’s be serious for a second.ย Theย Witcher’sย Geraltย ofย Riviaย has already invaded the newย SoulCaliburย andย Monster Hunter World.ย Basically, the hunkyย badassย is a whiz when it comes to falling into portals by accident – so why not theย Mortal Kombatย 11ย portal?ย
Let’s be real – he’s got mystically in-line attacks, the character is canonically never where he is supposed to be, and he’s just really freaking awesome. If you can look me in the eye and sayย Geraltย wouldn’tย be cool inย Mortal Kombat 11ย you’re either a liar or a serial killer and I don’t have room for that kind of negativity in my life.ย
Moving on …
Pennywise
I’m not going to lie, I only want Pennywiseย because this character scares the piss out of me and I’m ready to be spooped.ย
Next.ย
OK, but on a real note – with the Dancing Clown making its way onto the big screen once more — not unlike Michael Myers — the overall character set up would be perfect. Pennywiseย can shapeshift, they’ve got insane speed, and they love to dismember things = perfect match.ย
The Batman Who Laughs
Mortal Kombatย 11ย needsย The Batman Who Laughs — especially on the heels ofย Injustice 2.ย No ordinary Batman would do, we need the derangement that The Batman Who Laughs has to offer – the evil bastardization of the Batman we know and love – the one that loves raking up that body count.ย
A few other picks:
Of course, the sky is the limit when we’re talking about who should be a consideration for a guest spot. Other picks include:ย
- Doomguy from DOOM
- Deadpool, despite the no Marvel policy
- John Wick with a dog special attack
- Vega from Dragon Ballย
- Cole train (Woo!) from Gears of War
To catch up on all of the latest reveals, you can check out ourย Mortal Kombatย 11ย hub right here.ย As for the game itself,ย Mortal Kombat 11ย will arrive on April 23rd forย Xbox One,ย Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, andย PC.
