Until then, I'll assume it's Shang Tsung.I'm with [MENTION=4889]BBBLP[/MENTION] here... This continued speculation over weeks old information is getting really stale. They really need to reveal some more info ASAP.
You are literally contradicting yourself here. So, MK4 may not happen (even though nothing has changed to say it won't), but Bi-Han is going to take a DIRECT plotline from Deception? I mean DIRECT.
Shao Kahn was MIA after MK3 as well, and guess what MK9 showed us? Shinnok and Quan Chi both planning to take over Outworld and Earthrealm.
Also, I don't want to see Scorpion and Bi-Han team up. They always hated each other. Legacy is the only version who ever tried to spin a different story. Bi-Han murdered Hanzo while he was begging for his life. He always hated the rival clan (Shirai Ryu), that wasn't just Quan's doing.
They might as well just say "Yeah we put Bi-Han back in because we wanted to."
Why does it not make sense for Scorpion to be like"Hmm, maybe this guy isn't a douche like his brother was?"
Oh and again he's now taking Scorpion's direct storyline from Deception in your theory. Elder gods save him and everything. They also make him their champion. Then he also takes over as grandmaster I'm assuming as well? So, he also takes Kuai's story. Damn, is there anything he can't do?
I mean what part of that should you REALLY like anyway? Do you not want Bi-Han to be his own original character? In the way you describe him coming back he just takes everybody's storylines. He's not original at all. In that way they might as well just say "Yeah we put Bi-Han back in because we wanted to."

To be fair, they actually have trailed off the revenge theme for those 2 characters on 2 occasions; MKII-MK3, when they had Scorpion guard Kuai Liang as atonement for killing Bi-Han (which fell apart in MK4 when Kuai Liang ended up being framed for the Shirai Ryu Massacre just as Bi-Han himself had) and again after MK4 when they had Quan Chi admit his treachery to Scorpion himself.Possible, but Scorpion has no personal quarrel with him.
I never said Grandmaster, nor did I imply it, but Bi-Han coming back cleansed from the Soulndao as a Champion / Weapon for the elder gods, to serve a greater purpose that they have in mind, is also possible.
I do want him to have his own story, but Bi-Han teaming up with Scorpion to take down Quan Chi actually improves BOTH Scorpion and Sub-Zero's story, while going away from the same "You killed my family." "MURDERER!" "I tire of maintaining our innocence." bullshit, tired and repeated storyline that's been there since 1992.

They've done it twice before. They can do so again.

It would be so nice to finally see there story come to something like this. The only problem is, what would come next?
@ Araknyd
You stated exactly why it makes sense to team Kuai and Scorpion up. They're indifferent towards each other. Scorpion and Bi-Han hated each other in life. Why would they want to team up?
While the old timeline only exists in the parts you want it to still exist, It was hinted that Scorpion and Kuai could be allies in the old timeline. Since we're throwing out COULDS, Scorpion could feel the same way again. Especially since Kuai probably doesn't even know that his brother murdered Scorpion in life. They both have a lot of truths left to figure out.
The ONLY reason people are saying it's more likely to be Bi-Han is because Kuai is cyber. I gurantee if they showed him as a human then nobody would bat an eyelash. Did Quan Chi not create a new body for Noob Saibot? And last I checked Kuai is in Quan's possession and his name was STILL Sub-Zero. Did Kitana stop being Kitana or Jax stop being Jax?
What I want to understand however is what motivated Kuai to go after Scorpion in the first place. Alternate Timeline or not, until that point, the flow of time was essentially the same.
Unless it was a retcon, as NRS did with the fact that Kuai and Han were abducted as children, as opposed to having a Lin Kuei Dad/American Mom, I see ZERO reason for Kuai going after Scorpion in the new timeline when he didn't in the previous timeline.
The father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather of Bi-Han & Kuai Liang.Who were the Sub-Zeros before Bi Han?:???:
