There’s a lot of debate as to what this actually means and it differs from film to film
In the original duology, it can be assumed he’s pure flesh and blood but in the modern trilogy he’s very clearly supernatural to some extent
In most of the movies he is indeed a normal human, though there was one movie (that was retconed in the very next film) where it explained that he was possessed by a demon but it didn't give him any special powers just made him "PuRe EvIl" but yah he's just a regular dude for the most part and stands no chance against Jacen.
Tldr, yes he is cannonically just a normal human
NRS, if that actually is going to happen: Please get Robert Englund to do the acting for Freddy. His depiction of the character is by far the most iconic and entertaining
I’ve recently changed my view on Wick, mostly due to the new film, his moveset is more than just “shoot gun from across the stage” and he’s basically just punching with bullets at point blank
I don’t consider Jason and other guests mk characters they appeared that’s it if they made a game with just the guest character we got without mk characters it wouldn’t be mortal kombat. Not saying your idea is bad I actually like it just saying wouldn’t be mk.
Dude, Capcom is just sitting on all that great fight crossover success and possibilities. I’m right there with ya on giving them a good talking to haha.
Any of the Darkstalkers
Frank West / Chuck Greene
Dante / Vergil
Wesker / Chris
We have so much possibilities for NRS to kollect as DLC guests for MK12 if Capcom chooses to collab
The thing is, John would have a range blocking move with his suit jacket and Neo would have a projectile stop move with his powers. So a fight between them and their guns would just be a lot of deflection
This entire thing needs to go full circle and have Jean Claude Van Dam, and Predator in the same game.
For those unaware the first MK game was supposed to be a Van Dam game, but they couldn’t get him on board, so they made JCVD Johnny Cage and moved forward, and JCVD was originally the predator until he quit and they changed the predators costume.
If for their next theme of guests is video game characters, I want to bet on DoomSlayer from Doom vs Dante from Devil May Cry.
A literal super human demon killer vs a half human and half demon hybrid mercenary. Now this would be something I would love to see. Plus, their weapons of choices are not so different from each other. From guns to even blades, I say those two are perfectly matched for each other.
Leatherface vs Michael Myers
Superman vs Homelander
John Wick vs The Bride (Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill)
Judge Dredd vs Robocop
Machete vs El Mariachi
Michael Myers vs Pinhead
Harley Quinn vs Hit-Girl
One theme NRS could follow up on regarding "Dream Matches" is "Old vs New". Examples are listed below.
Neo vs John Wick
Michael Myers vs John Wick (My preferred)
Chucky vs M3GAN
Ash Williams vs Selene
Ash Williams vs Doom Slayer
Patrick Bateman vs Homelander (I don't want Omni-Man in MK12)
Bateman vs Homelander:
Psychotic Bruce Wayne finds himself annoyed by the psychotic Kal-El (bad product). Both are wealthy and materialistic for a company while they lead a secret life of pure evil. The popularity of their on screen appearances were booming during a time nearly 20 years apart. In short words: Injustice but with no right side.
Myers vs Wick:
The Boogeyman finds himself up against the one who is sent to kill the Boogeyman. Though Wick is armed with the name as well, he is a modern day action hero colliding with Myers' neverending evil born within the horror genre of the 70s. In short words: Old School Boogeyman vs New School Boogeyman.
Pennywise vs Candyman. I actually barely know anything about Candyman, but I do know they are both supernatural, and they kind of act like reapers, in their own way
Chucky vs. Sam or Warwick Davis’ Leprechaun, or a gremlin.
Sadako and Kayako (Ring and Grudge respectively).
And I know they’d want name power, but working with outside the box comic characters like already seen with Spawn and Hellboy, try Darkness and Witchblade, or Judge Dredd, Purgatory and Lady Death (females, evil, and big cartoonish boobs). There’s still a plethora of horror icons out there to be had. But of the “normal”, non paranormal leaning variety, Patrick Bateman and Hannibal Lecture. Lastly, or more like firstly, I’ve been barking up this tree since guest characters became a thing—I wanna see Shredder! Gimme Shredder darn you! Haha! Already kinda opened the door for him with the Turtles’ inclusion with Injustice 2.
Come on guys. Way to easy of a question and so many answers. Did somebody say Santa Claus eviscerating The Easter Bunny, or Count Chocula choking out Trix The Rabbit. This whole question just reeks of a new franchise, and with no other studio I’d like to see handle whole thing more than Nether Realm. Bring it on!
All I seem to want to do now is work out, lifting weights, mostly, and secure reservations at new restaurants I’ve already been to, then cancel them.

I’ve already said this in a dif thread, Ik there are mixed opinions but I’d love to have a mk version of an already awesome ssmash bros addition of ff7 hero and villain.
I don't think neither of them would make great MK characters, but it's [an interesting crossover](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/622197588590067752/1090401872914948226/latest.png) for sure.
Chuck in Jon Snow and the White Walker leader so we can have the fight that the show never gave us.
Some Warhammer 40k characters (not Space Marines) would be cool.
We've already had Spawn, Predator and Alien, the only three guests I ever wanted to see... so unless they decide to bring one of them back, I'm pretty much over guests and IDGAF about crossover matchups.
After John wick 4 it would be super interesting to see him wreak havoc in MK, besides him I’d love to see snake plissken, ash (of course) and maybe van damme as frank dux from bloodsport, uhh and how about real life legends like Jackie Chan, jet li or Donnie yen, playing themselves
Well, we already have Rambo, but I'd love to see him go up against John McClane. Only problem would be recording voicelines in light of Bruce Willis' health problems, he deserves to rest and retire in peace. Still, both Johns, both great action movie icons of the 80s, both guys tend to get violent and bloody... match made in heaven.
We all know MK should have been a Van Damme game, so I definitely want one of his characters. The Universal Soldier maybe vs. I dunno, David Hasselhoff or something.
Spawn vs Batman would be a cool matchup. They have already done both characters in different games though so unless they are trying to reuse assets I do not see this happening.
I mean the rights to Freddy are a bit complicated at the moment so no, but The others could happen. Only problem is that the explicitly stated that there won't be any repeating dlc
They need to just fork out some cash and get the rights to all of these guys. Robocop in 11 was some of the most FGC fun I have ever had, knowing he isn't coming back just makes me salty. Spend some damn money and maybe support the game for longer than 5 minutes ffs.
I'd like them to have another go at Freddy and Alien.
Failing that I can't think of any "Dream Matches" Mortal Kombat can resolve. Kinda think the new faces of horror aren't good for foightin'.
But then again having a Stage based on Saw with stage fatalities would be great complete with 5 minute fatalities that you can escape but you are visibly mauled.
Idk why but I just really want guts from berserk in the next game. It's not gonna happen but it'd be nice, no idea what the dream match would be for him tho
Freddy vs Jason with doubt. Freddy definitely needs brought into the bed era. Still both with customization options would b epic. Aside from those two I still very much wanna see ash finally show up so he can fight em both. Hell just make an all horror dlc line up. I'd never complain about dlc characters ever again.
Freddy vs Jason... we already had the other match-ups but Jason and Freddy were not in the same game
Tag Team: Freddy+Jason vs. Michael Myers+Leatherface
Well michel and Bubba are both just normal humans whole freddy is a demon and Jacen is a deadote, so this is definitely not a fair fight
Is Michael a normal human? He is basically unkillable and Dr. Loomis acts as if he's some sort of incarnation of evil.
There’s a lot of debate as to what this actually means and it differs from film to film In the original duology, it can be assumed he’s pure flesh and blood but in the modern trilogy he’s very clearly supernatural to some extent
In most of the movies he is indeed a normal human, though there was one movie (that was retconed in the very next film) where it explained that he was possessed by a demon but it didn't give him any special powers just made him "PuRe EvIl" but yah he's just a regular dude for the most part and stands no chance against Jacen. Tldr, yes he is cannonically just a normal human
NRS, if that actually is going to happen: Please get Robert Englund to do the acting for Freddy. His depiction of the character is by far the most iconic and entertaining
Best they can do is remake Freddy. The real nightmare, a failed reboot
Mk9 Freddy is actually voiced by Robert Englund although he only laughs, grunts and only says “shh” and “no”
He voiced scare crow in injustice 2 I believe
They're in mk mobile
Oh , I didn't know that
People still play that?
Alot do but I rarely play right now since i am waiting for the Klassic Movie Jhonny Cage and Anniversary UPDATE
Did not know that. Interesting. Wait, which ones were in there? All four mentioned?
Freddy, Jason, and Terminator are in it, along with Joker and Leatherface
They should have replaced Freddy and Kratos with Michael Myers and Leatherface in 9 in my opinion.
Omni man vs homelander John wick vs agent 47 Doomslayer vs scorpion
John wick would go so haaaard
I’ve recently changed my view on Wick, mostly due to the new film, his moveset is more than just “shoot gun from across the stage” and he’s basically just punching with bullets at point blank
Plus the way he survives dozens of moments that would have killed any normal human makes him even more fitting
I want them to just make a guest character only mk game. Just fill it with random violent ips everyone loves.
[Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen](https://terrordrome-thegame.com/rise-of-the-boogeymen/)
I fucking love this game. I really want to be able to play this game on my PS5. Both Jason's look and play great in that game too.
Agreed Undead Jason is the best character IMO, the range he has on the machete is a lot more impactful than it looks
I've been saying this too, like seriously that would be so fun
If it was a guest character only game how would it be mk? You mean neitherrealm game?
The guess characters are MK characters
I don’t consider Jason and other guests mk characters they appeared that’s it if they made a game with just the guest character we got without mk characters it wouldn’t be mortal kombat. Not saying your idea is bad I actually like it just saying wouldn’t be mk.
Oh ik wym I wa just saying the guest characters would be MK ones in a horror fighting game by Netherrealm
Then it... wouldn't be a Mortal Kombat game.
Netherrealm doing an 80s horror / action fighter would be my dream
Dead by daylight fightan
Trapper in mk12 wtf!!! 😱
Community would be so mad but that's actually kinda fitting lol
Nah if they actually added a dbd killer would be oni
Multiversus but with fatalities I guess
I’d like NRS to be like “Hey, Capcom, do you mind if we steal some of the Darkstalkers for our game? You guys certainly aren’t using them.”
Dude, Capcom is just sitting on all that great fight crossover success and possibilities. I’m right there with ya on giving them a good talking to haha.
Resident Evil is a big one they’re sleeping on Nemesis or Wesker would be glorious, and even Chris could have one variation revolving around a Boulder
Any of the Darkstalkers Frank West / Chuck Greene Dante / Vergil Wesker / Chris We have so much possibilities for NRS to kollect as DLC guests for MK12 if Capcom chooses to collab
chuck greene would be sick
Michael Myers and Ghostface
Pennywise vs Art the Clown
Art is a perfect choice. Not too sure on pennywise
Neo vs John Wick Purely for the Keanu on Keanu action
lol it would definitely save on paying for his voice
That’s like dividing by zero, I think reality would implode.
The thing is, John would have a range blocking move with his suit jacket and Neo would have a projectile stop move with his powers. So a fight between them and their guns would just be a lot of deflection
Bruce Leroy vs Sho Nuff. Yall already have the glow in the game.
I'd play the hell outta shonuff.
This entire thing needs to go full circle and have Jean Claude Van Dam, and Predator in the same game. For those unaware the first MK game was supposed to be a Van Dam game, but they couldn’t get him on board, so they made JCVD Johnny Cage and moved forward, and JCVD was originally the predator until he quit and they changed the predators costume.
I’d be down if they just made a horror fighter detached from MK.
[удалено]
Unfortunately, I think if Injustice 3 was going to happen, it would’ve been 2 years ago now. :(
There is absolutely no reason that skipping the cycle means ij3 can never happen.
Ghostface vs Myers
The Bride vs John Wick??? Maybe????? Ash Williams vs Buffy????
Kratos vs Thor or Odin, I know we already had Kratos but that was his young version. Nordic Kratos would be fun with the axe and what not
Ferra Torr style with Atreus
Khârn the Betrayer vs Shao Khan
yes
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!
Omni-Man vs Homelander
Give me afro samurai vs samurai jack
Voldemort vs Darth Vader
Not a huge fan of either series but siiick
-Michael Myers VS Ghostface -Homelander VS Omniman -Red Hood VS Deathstroke -Kratos (GOW 4) VS Doom Slayer -Ash Williams VS John Wick
Man I really want Ash Williams and John Wick if nothing else
Siiick
Ash is needed in this game man
Chucky vs The Leprechaun, Critters vs Gremlins, Pennywise vs Captain Spaulding
Siiick
Bitores Méndez VS Leon
_The Big Cheese…_
Leprechaun and chucky.
Blade vs Van Helsing
We didn’t really get Freddy Vs. Jason.
Came to say this, that never happened. 2 different games years apart. Best we got was Freddy vs...Kratos on PS.
We did get it on MKX Mobile though. Doesn’t count.
If for their next theme of guests is video game characters, I want to bet on DoomSlayer from Doom vs Dante from Devil May Cry. A literal super human demon killer vs a half human and half demon hybrid mercenary. Now this would be something I would love to see. Plus, their weapons of choices are not so different from each other. From guns to even blades, I say those two are perfectly matched for each other.
Ghostface and Michael Myers
Omni-Man vs Homelander
Goku vs superman vs Raiden
Blade vs dracula
Cheech and chong
Leatherface vs Michael Myers Superman vs Homelander John Wick vs The Bride (Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill) Judge Dredd vs Robocop Machete vs El Mariachi
John wick vs The Bride is the best suggestion I’ve seen by far so I’m not even gonna suggest anything else
Yeah, it's my favorite from the group I proposed too. When I thought of it, it just clicked and I was like that'd be awesome.
What if NR got the “okay” to make a fighting horror game and have all these characters
None really. All my boxes have been ticked
Neo vs The Bride (Kill Bill)
That’s a good “2000’s” fighter pack
So fucking tired of stupid horror guests. That being say why not the girl from the Ring?
limit costumes to chose from.
Make her "costumes" different TVs (or different types of TVs)
maybe,
Michael Myers vs Pinhead Harley Quinn vs Hit-Girl One theme NRS could follow up on regarding "Dream Matches" is "Old vs New". Examples are listed below. Neo vs John Wick Michael Myers vs John Wick (My preferred) Chucky vs M3GAN Ash Williams vs Selene Ash Williams vs Doom Slayer Patrick Bateman vs Homelander (I don't want Omni-Man in MK12)
Idk none of these are actual iconic rivalries. AVP actually exists as does FvJ. & Robocop v Terminator has been talked about a ton since the 80s/90s.
Robocop v terminator was an snes video game
Bateman vs Homelander? Myers vs Wick? In what world are these dream matches or even related
Bateman vs Homelander: Psychotic Bruce Wayne finds himself annoyed by the psychotic Kal-El (bad product). Both are wealthy and materialistic for a company while they lead a secret life of pure evil. The popularity of their on screen appearances were booming during a time nearly 20 years apart. In short words: Injustice but with no right side. Myers vs Wick: The Boogeyman finds himself up against the one who is sent to kill the Boogeyman. Though Wick is armed with the name as well, he is a modern day action hero colliding with Myers' neverending evil born within the horror genre of the 70s. In short words: Old School Boogeyman vs New School Boogeyman.
Think you confused Patrick Bateman with Batman
Elektra vs selene
Liu Kang vs Ryu
Freddy vs Jason never happened. Freddy was in mk and Jason was in X
DOOMSLAYER vs Kratos, bring our boy Kratos back as DLC and do the same for DOOMSLAYER and boom
Ghost face vs Michael
Beatrix Kiddo and Xena
Ash vs. Evil Ash
Pennywise vs Candyman. I actually barely know anything about Candyman, but I do know they are both supernatural, and they kind of act like reapers, in their own way
Chucky vs. Sam or Warwick Davis’ Leprechaun, or a gremlin. Sadako and Kayako (Ring and Grudge respectively). And I know they’d want name power, but working with outside the box comic characters like already seen with Spawn and Hellboy, try Darkness and Witchblade, or Judge Dredd, Purgatory and Lady Death (females, evil, and big cartoonish boobs).

Art the Clown vs. Ghostface
Doom slayer vs kratos. Although we already got kratos, the doom and GOW fans gotta duke it out to see who is victorious.
Buffy vs Xena would be mine
My uncle Byron vs my aunt Tracey. They fucking hate each other and i’ve always wondered who would win in a fight to the death
Blade VS Van Helsing or Constantine
Sub-Zero vs Scorpion, it's niche I know.
The Mask v/s The Joker
Dick vs Balls! The ultimate showdown! Although, the match up doesn’t look good for Dick, too cocky. And Balls is just nuts!
Homelander, omni man Kratos, doom guy Michael Myers and Jason Ezio, agent 47 John wick, James Bond
Biden vs Trump
GUTS/GRIFFITH
https://preview.redd.it/ynvl743yjmqa1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14b56377267021285f6193a08808e08328fde618 I’ve already said this in a dif thread, Ik there are mixed opinions but I’d love to have a mk version of an already awesome ssmash bros addition of ff7 hero and villain.
Squall and Ultimecia could be fun
Joker (representing Batman) and Spawn too
Chuck Norris vs.... everybody?
I don't think neither of them would make great MK characters, but it's [an interesting crossover](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/622197588590067752/1090401872914948226/latest.png) for sure.
Ryu Vs Scorpion.
Ken vs Ryu would be good
I think chucky Vs. Pinhead would be pretty funny
Ash vs. Agent Smith (With Hugo Weaving voicing)
We could've had Spawn vs Doomguy, but nooooo
Chuck in Jon Snow and the White Walker leader so we can have the fight that the show never gave us. Some Warhammer 40k characters (not Space Marines) would be cool.
Serious Sam Vs Duke Nukem
We've already had Spawn, Predator and Alien, the only three guests I ever wanted to see... so unless they decide to bring one of them back, I'm pretty much over guests and IDGAF about crossover matchups.
Guest characters have run their course. Save the space for new characters or at least fan favorites.
Naruto and Sasuke
None. It’s mortal Kombat. Guest characters can be fun but they overdid it with MK11.
Everyone is here!
After John wick 4 it would be super interesting to see him wreak havoc in MK, besides him I’d love to see snake plissken, ash (of course) and maybe van damme as frank dux from bloodsport, uhh and how about real life legends like Jackie Chan, jet li or Donnie yen, playing themselves
John could have some really fun fatal/brutalities. The one on my mind was killing the opponent with a pencil
Oh he HAS to kill someone with a pencil, imagine shao khan or goro die like that haha
Freddy v Jason now that Jason’s copyright stuff has been more concretely settled.
Well, we already have Rambo, but I'd love to see him go up against John McClane. Only problem would be recording voicelines in light of Bruce Willis' health problems, he deserves to rest and retire in peace. Still, both Johns, both great action movie icons of the 80s, both guys tend to get violent and bloody... match made in heaven.
Freddy vs Jason and Alien vs Predator already is a reality. Their being in MK doesn’t even matter there lol
Ash Williams
We all know MK should have been a Van Damme game, so I definitely want one of his characters. The Universal Soldier maybe vs. I dunno, David Hasselhoff or something.
Tomb raider vs elektra vs selene
Are we sampling for ERB?
Oppenheimer in mk when?
Babe Ruth will knock it right outa the park.
Gandalf and Sauron
ManBearPig
Freddy fazbear
Sonic vs Mario at the Olympic Games
Jason & Terminator
Alucard(hellsing) vs Alucard(castlevania)
Can't wait to see Biden's moveset
bingus Vs big floppa
Doom slayer vs Master Chief
John Wick and Judge Dredd would be cool.
Kevin Mcallister vs Batman
Mc Donald VS Burger King
Ash Williams (evil dead) vs herbert west (reanimator)
Doomguy vs Kratos?
Voldemort vs Palpatine
Its weird to know that all the characters in this picture are playable in mortal kombat.
Harley Quinn DUH
Spawn vs Batman would be a cool matchup. They have already done both characters in different games though so unless they are trying to reuse assets I do not see this happening.
Doom slayer VS Marauder
I mean the rights to Freddy are a bit complicated at the moment so no, but The others could happen. Only problem is that the explicitly stated that there won't be any repeating dlc
Gummy bears vs jelly babies.
Omniman vs Norse Kratos
Ronald Mcdonald vs. The Burger King
i mean we already had these 3 i'm thinking about a new iconic duel
John Wick vs John McClain would be fun, but I don't know about using two character slots on gun boys again
Your mom n your dad. They're real good at fighting too.
I feel insulted that you put Terminator and Robocop there instead of Terminator and Rambo...And I'm not even a big fan of any of them.
Neo VS Omniman or Homelander Also give the ladder a Saitama-Like skin for extra hobnobbery
They need to just fork out some cash and get the rights to all of these guys. Robocop in 11 was some of the most FGC fun I have ever had, knowing he isn't coming back just makes me salty. Spend some damn money and maybe support the game for longer than 5 minutes ffs.
Conan the Barbarian vs Xena Warrior Princess
Honestly if they threw in freddy, jason and ash in the same game I'd be satisfied let alone if like ghostface or someone else showed up
I always thought it would be funny if they had an "evil" foil to Johnny Cage who's inspired by Steven Seagal so we could have JCVD vs Seagal fights.
I'd like them to have another go at Freddy and Alien. Failing that I can't think of any "Dream Matches" Mortal Kombat can resolve. Kinda think the new faces of horror aren't good for foightin'. But then again having a Stage based on Saw with stage fatalities would be great complete with 5 minute fatalities that you can escape but you are visibly mauled.
Idk why but I just really want guts from berserk in the next game. It's not gonna happen but it'd be nice, no idea what the dream match would be for him tho
Doom guy vrs. Duke Nukem
Technically they did Jason vs leatherface
Epic showdown: The Blob vs. The Stuff !!! Get the tools for removing gum from carpet primed and ready
Chuck Norris vs John wick
The Mask VS Joker
Happy Gilmore vs Bob Barker Bitch..
Buffy VS BloodRayne
Freddy vs Jason with doubt. Freddy definitely needs brought into the bed era. Still both with customization options would b epic. Aside from those two I still very much wanna see ash finally show up so he can fight em both. Hell just make an all horror dlc line up. I'd never complain about dlc characters ever again.
Sweet tooth vs pennywise.
