Kabal and Erron are my two mains. Shame that they are so underdeveloped, they each deserve their own chapter

[@LMan86]

They are so similar too. Erron Black has a lot of the old Midway Kabal’s story elements like both being former members of the Black Dragon, both being rivals of Mavado and being nearly killed by him/left for dead. Both are mysterious nomads.

[@draztiktunez7104]

Erron is def one of my favs from the reboot such an original character with the whole cowboy vibe etc .

They always could have done a lot with those two.

[@peak9136]

thats my mains to and i agree that they need more development

[@bhlakbatosai]

I hate how they retconned him in MK11. MK9 gave his character much more depth being reformed Black Dragon, becoming a cop to make amends, getting injured & upgraded by Kano but sticking to his convictions & staying good. Now he's a random asshole like Sindel.😤

[@Xehanort10]

MK 11 ruined a lot of characters. They killed off the well developed MK9 and MKX Scorpion to go back to the old "angry hellspawn" version, turned Shao Kahn from one of the main villains to a random henchman, wasted a chance for a story involving people from all the realms working together to stop a corrupted Dark Raiden from destroying all the other realms in an extreme attempt to protect Earthrealm in favour of time travel bullshit caused by Shinnok's never before mentioned mother and siblings, Sindel was retconned from a good person brainwashed into being Shao Kahn's wife to being evil and in love with him. Sonya was killed at the beginning and replaced with a past version of herself and worst of all had Ronda Rousey for a voice actress. And Johnny Cage who went from a parody of Hollywood actors in the other games to a pretty good character in 9 and X through helping save Earthrealm from Shao Kahn. Even though he'd originally entered the tournament just to show off he quickly realised how serious things were. And in X he trained the next generation of fighters but in 11 he's replaced with his comedic parody self.

[@iliaPayne]

@@LMan86 I actually like both and both fit in my headcannon ; Considering revenants in MK11 don't have altered voices it's safe to assume - that's simply how young, cocky scumbag Kabal sounded like during his Black Dragon days.

[@TheScribe1.0]

Kabal wasn’t burned in the original continuity. His face was slashed up, and his windpipe was slit open. That is why he wears the mask and the respirator. It wasn’t until MK9 that his injuries would be changed and he would be burned alive by Kintaro.

I actually like Kabal, he's very snarky in MK11. Kabal's just an all-around cool character and I do enjoy watching his speed coupled with the way he uses those hookswords. I did enjoy listening to his deep voice in MK9 and his reformed-criminal storyline.

[@silvereaglestudios]

I once heard someone say that Kabal and Darth Vader are similar characters, I don't see it: Kabal is a character who has been known to switch sides with the good/bad guys while also being burned alive and hideously scarred, needing a breathing apparatus to live, and also having an iconic sword-like weapon that is not like a normal sword, and also being mentored by a sinister person (Havik) to turn him into a bad guy, and is heavily associated with the color black.

I wish Kabal had a Chapter in MK11. It would be revolving around Past Kabal confronting his Revenant form. His revenant would taunt him saying that being the good guy will get you killed. Past Kabal would have to debate weather to join the forces of light, or resume his alliance with The Black Dragon. I would sorta give it the same treatment that Liu Kang and Kung Lao had with their Revenants in the game.

See, I thought the past characters in the MK11 story mode came from different points in the past. Everyone who appeared at what was supposed to be Kollector’s execution came from the moment when Kung Lao had beaten Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, but that doesn’t add up for most of the other characters that appeared elsewhere. At that moment, Jax wouldn’t have had his cybernetic arms yet, having just had them torn off by Ermac, Johnny would’ve had a broken leg, also from Ermac. That made me think the past Kabal was from a time before he turned good. The fact that he was a revenant means his part as a good guy in MK9 would have to still stand, right?

Continuity is not in NRS’s dictionary. Raiden’s also messed up the timeline quite a lot to have Kronika so determined to be rid of him so I’m thinking he received the visions in more than one timeline so perhaps everything not matching is just the past characters from a slight different timeline from MK9.
