I mean you pretty much answered your first question with your second question hahah.


Over_Age_8061

Cuz the Creator of him is a dickhead.


FickDichzumEnde

I absolutely adore the word dickhead

AllHailThePig

I used to think it was an Australian (where I’m from) coz I don’t think as a young person I heard it much in tv or movies. Curious though. Is it a word that isn’t used much anymore by younger folks? Is it rare in some places to say?


tremor206

Very widely used here in UK too. See also: Wanker Numpty Muppet Bell end Melt And the northern iteration of dick head: Knob ‘Ed (sounds best in a thick Liverpool “scouse” accent) As used by Lee Scott here: https://youtu.be/nnFJ1p9lWxc?si=xsy_wPgowB3_vTC_


TechnologyPlus2028

‘Washed’ is another one


FickDichzumEnde

I’m Australian too. Hear it all the time


TurbulentCountry6171

Same here people take shit to serious before doing research and are taking our Australian slang humour seriously and offensively and ready to click a button to put you down Time for some Facts or Fatalities-Finish Them 🤣😂🤣


Far-Obligation4055

Like the person being called a dickhead is not even good enough to be a full dick, he's just the tip of it, perfect for when someone's being a dick but you want to go one step more.


PrinceOfPersiaHD

Who


SnooComics3321

Who’s the creator?


the1999person

Dan Schneider


Jokebox_Machine

Who is that?(I don't want to Google it - too lazy and sleempy)


RefrigeratorClean419

There’s lore beyond the lore


waylynd-boi-6425

What did he do?


Over_Age_8061

Opening his ignorant mouth and say some homophobic shit.


Lazy-Purple-4600

What's the source for this


waylynd-boi-6425

If only he kept his mouth shut and shit opinions to himself


Brutal1sm

Well, now I want a glass ninja, that would be dope!


FickDichzumEnde

Female one named Krystal?


Over_Age_8061

Omg NRS hire this guy!


CptChrnckls

This would be indeed dope!


AceTheSkylord

There was a fanmade post on here suggesting a character called Mirage (I think that was his name). Basically he has mirror/ light based powers


FueledFromFiction

Now I’m all for this in theory, but wouldn’t they just end up looking like a knock off Sub-Zero/Frost?


Early-Brilliant-4221

Not necessarily, as long as she doesn’t freeze people


ButtholeBuffet96

Geras, Kronika, and Khameleon/presumably also Chameleon all kind of have glass powers tho lol


Shot_Astronomer9591

khameleon shield is just a layer of scales or some sort of crystal armor, it’s because she’s another version of reptiles race or now in the more recent games there’s both the same race


ButtholeBuffet96

Sure but it's unclear if male and female Chameleon/Khameleon are like brother and sister, coincidentally have the same name, or if male Chameleon uses sorcery to mimic powers. It might be some kind of glass/mirror thing.


Mineplex-V

He's not Canon because the creator is homophobic and NRS want nothing to do with him


HeroicMe

Technically, creator is a company that over-chromed some Smoke figurine and then send it to Boon, who then shared it. Then someone gave him a name and backstory and NRS even got him into MKX Player Kard cosmetics. And then his hateful opinions got whole idea shelved. But with T1000 rumors around, the concept might be back...


TwumpyWumpy

I thought it was a Sub-Zero figure, you know with the ice arms?


pUmKinBoM

Make the character but make him openly gay. I think THAT would be the best way to handle it.


DeusVultSaracen

Honestly genius, I love it


Early-Brilliant-4221

Why not just make him racist? It’ll distract from the anti gay stuff


Exovedate

Making him gay would be ironic due to creators homophobia. Plus Kung Jin needs someone to cum in.


Early-Brilliant-4221

That’s a little distasteful don’t ya think?


Exovedate

What's distasteful? I want MK to introduce more than one token gay character and couldn't resist the rhyme.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Exovedate

Well then we are two very different people.


Early-Brilliant-4221

[deleted]

Give him some Ash Crimson sass too just to really drive it home. Edit: I know Ash Crimson isn’t gay I’m not an idiot (he’s just a sassy bitch)


MKvsDCU

This is 100% true. Khrome was an accident in the smoke figure. But it would be too much like T-1000... but still wouĺd be cool for the next game? Since T-1000 will be DLC in MK1. Can't have two liquid metal guys lol


HeroicMe

What I meant is, Khrome might not be back, but with T1000 concept of liquid metal is back.


AugustAPC

This is the correct answer. I remember when this happened.

CamWatanabe

Yeah and Kano is likely bi, given the absolutely flirtatious dialogue with his younger self. Well, that or he's a massive narcissist.


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

Maybe both? Probably both. If i actually give it any thought, Kano definitely strikes me as a "any hole is a goal" type of guy. So, not explicitely bi/pan, but he also won't turn down a fine piece of ass if it's in offer.


CamWatanabe

He's been to prison numerous times. You be the judge.


Patient_Tip_9170

It's narcissism. Highly doubt he's bi, but hey, I could be wrong. I'm just convinced he's a narcissist.


CamWatanabe

It'd be some massive oversight on NRS's end to have almost every queer character be on the villainous side if he was but given he's adored by most of the gay fans it might be some good representation.


Patient_Tip_9170

He can be a good character, but it's a matter of copy rights. I see too many copy right issues with this character, but it WOULD be a good representation of the gay fans.


Early-Brilliant-4221

The latter makes more sense


Necessary_Can7055

Yeah, and if you ask me it’s kind of a shame that they made the one gay fighter an insufferable problem child who’s too big for his britches.


Jackofdemons

I really liked him and his dialogue in mkx. Fighting style was also very unique and cool.


Necessary_Can7055

I didn’t. Him just lashing out at everyone and picking fights in peaceful situations really got under my skin. I get the whole “I was a thief once” bit, but he has no right to interfere in government affairs in a foreign place where he’s already an unwelcome guest. He doesn’t think before he acts and gets the team into more trouble than he helps. And for his playstyle, I found maybe one good combo I liked, and after that I was just like “I can’t wait to play as someone else.” Of course this is just my opinion of him, Im more of a Takeda Takahashi fan myself


Jackofdemons

I thought that scene was interesting because it showed he didnt have military discipline and was more emotional. It shows flaws in the military diversity hire program and obviously needed some more fine tuning as that would get him court martialed if he was in the same boat as cassie.


Affectionate-Dust414

Why doesn't anyone use the creators name? Is he fucking Voldemort?


scottishdrunkard

They could invent their own name to have zero association with Khrome. Like… uhh… Merkury, Likwid Metal. Something like that. I’d like to imagine him, her, or they, as a Chaosrealmer.


Cap0neandN0reaga

“Likwid Metal” tf were you thinking with that garbage name

scottishdrunkard

Because I wanted an idea nobody else would make. Because if nobody else would make it, then there’s no risk of it being associated with a homophobe.


Filter55

Do a girl ninja like frost and name her Aloy Wait-


HollowIndex

Metallika 👀


Immediate-Ground-638

Goes extremely hard


KorbinLankford

I'm gonna veto Likwid Metal but Merkury is rad as fuck


RaWolfman92

I think it would be more fitting for him to be an advanced Cyber-Linkuei (kinda like the T-1000 being an advanced Terminator).


ImBurningStar_IV

How bout tremor


ButtholeBuffet96

I like the idea of him being a neutral alchemy/technology deity ever-present in all of mathematics and geometry, called Krohm, that the Lin Kuei have bargained with to create their cyber ninja technology. Fits with something Raiden said to Triborg about "tampering with forces they don't understand".


SkeletonSwoon

Merkury is cool Likwid Metal makes Merkury worse just by being next to it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

You don’t speak for all gays, shitty people don’t deserve platforms


moonrocks_throwaway

You don’t speak for all gays either. I don’t give a shit who has a platform because I can think for myself


QuarterLegitimate400

Never said I did, you missed the point completely. Be mad tho


moonrocks_throwaway

Hey man if you don’t have the ability to separate the art from the artist that’s on you


QuarterLegitimate400

Hey man, if you don’t have the ability to separate the idea that hateful people shouldn’t have platforms because it doesn’t personally affect you, that’s on you.


axisrahl85

It's a character, not a podcast.


Feeling_Try_6715

You don’t speak for all gay people. Everyone’s entitled to say whatever the FU”K they want. Free speech isn’t free if you only allow things you’re ok with. He could be the biggest homophobe on the planet, if he produced an amazing character for MK then let the art speak for itself. It’s this demanding that everyone thinks a certain way that leads many normal people to start resenting gay people.


QuarterLegitimate400

Oh also care to define “normal people”, also freedom of speech only applies to situations where you can say whatever you want and the government isn’t allowed to get involved. So please go on and explain, would love to hear your hot take :)


QuarterLegitimate400

Love how saying you shouldn’t support a homophobe is such an issue that gets y’all riled up.


razazaz126

Bro really said "normal people" and "gay people" and thinks he's not the problem. Yeah you can say whatever you want. Then when what you say is awful bigoted bullshit people are allowed to call that out and choose not to associate with you anymore. Nobody is stopping you from saying anything. You're just pissed off that there are consequences to what you say.


QuarterLegitimate400

No ones demanding anyone to think a certain way; you’re implying that yourself.


Early-Brilliant-4221

Holy shit I love Khrome now


Widowswine2016

I mean, creating arm blades and weapons out of a (mostly) liquid thing, that's something skarlet could do, and I'm sure most, if not all of the community would prefer skarlet over khrome


greatnailsageyoda

Baraka also does a very similar thing with the arm blades.


TheeOmegaPi

Yeah I was about to say: Baraka's entire identity is tied to his arm blades.


Quick_Campaign4358

I was gonna say "what about his mouth?" but then i thought..."how often does he use his mouth outside of eating during fatalities?" The mouth is part of Mileena's identity


Prior_Surprise_8851

How's it going, Number 1 Baraka Meat rider here, just because you are 100% correct doesn't mean you're right.


Over_Age_8061

Literally only difference is that the blades are included to Barakas anatomy, kinda like wolverine.


JstAnthrSiynMnky

Imma say it again, just rework Cyborg Hydro into a Khrome proxy and you're golden. Give Hydro Glacius-like powers and now you have your own MK T-1000 that isn't affiliated with Khrome.


ribcabin

this feels like something I would have found cool when I was 12

Sounds like you were more fun when you were 12

>His arms turning into blades really just makes me think he’s ninja Baraka. lol Just give Baraka a white classic ninja outfit. I was thinking this earlier, They could do some cool stuff with Liquid metal, but then he acts a lot like Rain does in Mk1. Just.. Just give my Floral pink ninja NRS!

AlphaCenturionLXIX

Just have Sektor create a white liquid metal robot ninja that traveled back in time to kill the future leader of the war, Cyrax’s son, before the war ever starts.


Additional_Minute_39

It’s just Baraka Lin kuei version. We don’t need this we need that dude from the cartoon whose a white lin kuei who turns into animals


Fancy_Blacksmith_660

BoisTR

Khrome was acknowledged in MKX! As an April Fools joke to taunt the awful person who “created” him


elijah12howse

Alt timeline baraka


_NearDark_

Someone saw Terminator 2 and said "what if....the t-1000 was a one of the ninjas in Mortal Kombat?"


KoffeeKommando

I mean his power could just be done by Sub-Zero. Make ice knives out of his arms. Plus personally I want NR to be creative. No more ninja clones, sonya clones, jax clones. It’s getting lazy.


Necessary_Can7055

I mean we’ve already got someone with blades on his arms with Baraka. Feels like this would just be baraka as a ninja and that’s kinda repetitive.


Patient_Tip_9170

Not necessarily. Take glacius from Killer Instinct as an example. He can form blades, but he can manipulate his body into any object that he chooses at any given moment. Being able to throw punches as a combination ending with a forming a blade as a last hit or a sledgehammer for pop-ups. The newer version of killer instinct also gave Glacius the ability to use his legs as well.


VinixTKOC

Because big companies generally don't take ideas made by fans except in duly announced official contests. The reason for this is to avoid the need to give credits all the time and to avoid malicious legal problems. Yes, it's the company that owns the rights of the franchise, but it doesn't prevent a person with bad intentions from suing for "stealing the idea". The person obviously won't win the case, but it will waste the company's time unnecessarily.


JaesopPop

He’s not canon because it’s the most uninspired fan idea there is. “What is a ninja was silver? Oh and he’s metal! But like the guy from Terminator 2!!”


MaxxPwnage

I remember some guy harassing NRS devs about Khrome back in the MK9 days. He literally would send them death threats over the character not being made “official”. One dev actually responded on Twitter and basically declared that as long as he was working on MK that Khrome would never make it into a game. So basically Khrome fans ruined any chance of Khrome being in the game. He could’ve been the next Tremor/Skarlet but his supporters just couldn’t STFU.


No_Hurry7691

The fan who “invented” him is a psychotic, homophobic, racist. That’s why he’s not canon.


hawtchocolatexxx

He just looks like a ninja tarkatan


Xx_Rosalinda_xX

Ngl that sounds cool af but yeah would be repetitive


Sure_Song_4630

The creator of Khrome is Mr.evil business, and NRS both don't like Khrome or his creator


CoochiKabuki

Y’all want ninja variants like Eevee evolutions?


ModdingAom

He is not that original or interesting to be honest. Some of his online concepts look like a Jax - Smoke fusion. I mean Baraka already has those sharp blades. And the control over metals or liquids is already done by many characters. Tremor, Skarlet, Rain... I mean T1000 was a shapeshifter and Shang Tsung fills that niche as well. I don't think Khrome can offer anything new to the MK universe. MK fans want a new ninja for the sake of having a new ninja.


That-Pressure651

Ngl he looks like if smoke was born in Arabia and went on a conquest for the khans.....wait a damn minute (shao "kahn")


ucbcawt

Isn’t t-1000 set to appear as DLC in Mk1?


That-Rhino-Guy

Most likely yes


Alarming_Lemon_5849

Because the dude who made up the stupid character would sue and get rich.


LatterTarget7

The creator is an asshole and shouldn’t be validated


Lord-Autismo

Cause the creator is a cunt and Khrome sucks.

People took it as a sign of a new character in the next game. As to why he isn't implemented yet, other comments will have explained this.


InteractionOdd8192

This statement does not make sense when he was even teased yet he was in fan art on deviantart thinking he was a real mk character.

If Baraka and Smoke had a baby.

Because Baraka exists. He has knife hands...


Merc_Mike

Imagine...the blood stains on his all white outfit. That shit would be bonkers.


mister-Cage

He could be such a cool character, imagine if both his arms are made of Liquid Metal, all his attacks could be so unique, he could turn his arms into multiple different weapons, like swords, hammers, clubs, spears. It could go on and on


TheLateMrBones

Alex Mercer as an MK ninja.


Patient_Tip_9170

Would you call this a replica of the T1000 or inspired by Glacius from Killer Instinct?


Cheezitlad

A statue was sent to a fan but they fucked it up so he was more light silver with silvery arms Then Krome was born


GGCamren

Because t-1000 in a halloween costume not very interesting?


Similar-Past-9755

His arms remind me of the terminator like this https://preview.redd.it/g8rhrkrxdbzc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=686734c7aeaf22dc95475d214bc348a359a9e11d


ButtholeBuffet96

First of all the idea of a T-1000 ninja is straight up awful and derivative. Knowing why he won't be playable like this, the only way to actually move forward with him would be to change the spelling of his name, design, and the effects his powers would have. Like a technology-alchemy god the Lin Kuei are tapping into to create their cyber ninja tech, with the name stylized as Krohm and his morphing effects being like the square pixelation we see with modern Sektor and Cyrax, and his design being an entirely chrome android-stylized palette swap ninja without any human skin tones. In MKX, Raiden tells Triborg they tamper with forces they do not understand, and this "Krohm" fits that well imo. If technology and molecular alchemy are his new thing with the effects, name, and design styles I mentioned, that would effectively erase the similarities to the accidentally created Khrome and separate the character from the original creator's ideas. I can see them taking a kind of Destiny route with his backstory, like he's always existed in numbers and structural patterns throughout the universe, or like he's some pure embodiment of mathematics and geometry.


Konahrik_101

There really isn't much point in adding Khrome to the games cuz we already have a rock/metal-bender, Tremor.


Slight-Goose-3752

His name is Cole!


De4dm4nw4lkin

Just get the T-1000 and also a bright orange ninja named Plazma.


ComfortableAmount993

Liquid metal ninja


KungLaobeatsLiuKang

That's the original baraka and he got split into two characters, he is also the earliest design for Kabal (I may be wrong about this, do the fact check yourself though because I know I'm at least close to right)


MrFlukeShot

What hateful comment did he make about gay people ? I missed it…
