I did one of these for Reiko awhile back and you guys had some pretty interesting things to say about him, despite the fact that he has yet to be confirmed at all for the upcoming title. I've decided to do one for Reptile after viewing the trailer he was revealed in and reading some of your comments on the threads that followed. So, why don't you all let it be known here why or why not Reptile being in Mortal Kombat X is a good move? I'll start it off:
As the original secret character in the series, I feel that Reptile deserves to be a mainstay in the series, especially considering the fact that he's already been in a large number of games. While I dislike his Mortal Kombat 4 and Deadly Alliance looks, the ones that have followed are cool, in my opinion. Him being in future games allows for NRS to update his look and further make him standout from the rest of the ninjas. I think the mask is, by far, the most awesome looking out of any prior ninja masks. Furthermore, the fact that he is the sole surviving male of his race (to my knowledge, it has yet to be confirmed if Chameleon truly is a member of the Saurians), it gives him an important role in the series, as he could potentially link up with Khameleon and complete his goal of repopulating the Saurians. This, in turn, could lead to him having a descendant(s) in future games. Last but not least, Reptile has the unique element of acid on his side. Having anything unique to one character in Mortal Kombat is rare and says a lot about the character.
