Kobra

LOL Jarek fan
 
I enjoy Jarek as well.


I wish I could pitch my rebuilding stories to Vogel. He would be blown out of his knee high socks.
 
Nah, but seriously though, Jarek does need to come back, as goofy as that dude is, as long as they don't give him another lasso

After all, he's at least still a much better Black Dragon member than Kobra ever will be
 
I'm saying this RIGHT NOW goddamit!


Kobra would be one of the coolest MK characters ever if they just went with their original idea of making him a Ken rip off. Complete with Shoryuken, Tatsu & Hadoukens. They would be named differently of course, but they would look pretty identical.
 
If I could remake this character heres my idea

He should have been Scorpions son that was killed by subzero/ quan chi but brought back to life by either quan chi or shang tsung in order to defeat scorpion since scorpion was the champion of the elder gods .

would have been cool to have him be the white ninja but instead of the complete head mask just have the cryo mask and have it resemble a cobra.
Even though there are alot of ninjas what would another hurt anyway would be cool if they left maybe some out like either ermac, rain, or noob and brought in tremor, Kobra ( my version) and Hydro (since he is alot like rain dont need 2 water guys) and even though ermac is pretty cool and noob is also noob will probably become sub zero again and kenshi and ermac are already alot alike could switch it up or have them share the movelist just as an alternate skin or something.
speaking of relatives in the mk series always wanted them to bring in lui kangs brother from the movie but I guess he was just made for the movie.
 
Umm, Ermac and Kenshi really aren't all that alike besides both of them having telekinetic powers, also **** Hydro, end of story

Anyway, assuming your idea sees the light:

1. How would Scorpion, a person of Japanese descent, be able to have a child that's American like Kobra? Unless you're planning on retconning his backstory and nationality as a whole, to which I'm not a fan of at all

2. Shang Tsung was dead at the time of Deception. Quan Chi may or may not have been alive then, that depends on whether he had enough time to escape through the portal he was creating, which I personally doubt since Raiden self-destructed almost immediately afterwards but anyway. Anyway, more to the point, it's safe to assume that neither were anywhere near Earthrealm or Japan during Deception, so how would they be able to revive Kobra if they presumably aren't even anywhere near his corpse? Also, how would they even know that Scorpion is the champion of the Elder Gods? They most likely wrote off Scorpion as dead after presumably being informed that Drahmin and Moloch tossed him into the Soulnado.

3. Why the hell does Kobra have to be a ninja of all people? Why can't he just stay as a street brawler or a thug? I mean, Kobra has no reason to even be a ninja, the last thing we need is another ****ing ninja, anyway. I don't like Kobra at all and even I have to admit that Kobra could be much more unique than just filling in another color of the ninja rainbow

4. Scorpion's son died when he was young. Since we're talking about Deception, it hasn't been that long since his death. So if they resurrected him, he still would be a child or in his early-to-mid-teens most likely. Kobra is a grown man. Lastly, even if they were going to use his resurrected son to thwart Scorpion in some way, why not just use him for ransom instead? Why not do something like, "Hey, Hanzo, if you agree not to serve the Elder Gods and serve us instead, I'll give you your newly resurrected son back". That makes a lot more sense to me

5. Isn't Liu Kang an orphan in the new timeline? Wouldn't make much sense to neglect mentioning a brother in Liu Kang's backstory in MK9 only to introduce a brother later on. Besides, if you're going to do the whole relative thing, why not introduce some fathers instead, for example how about Sub-Zero's full Cryomancer father? That's actually something I would love to see; I wouldn't mind seeing more mature and seasoned warriors in MK, anyway

Ugh... all this pro-Jarek talk... where's Alisa when you need her..

Is it any wonder that the Black Dragon went down the shitter with characters like Kobra and Jarek (although I admit I don't hate the CHARACTER Jarek and he could improve).
Kabal and Kano ARE the Black Dragon. Kira is by far the best of the new BDs. Jarek with a re-design (not as extreme as AC says) can come good. Kobra though, is rather forgettable.
 
I love how he falls and gets impaled on a death trap (especially in the falling cliffs) while he moans as if he is boned from his behind. It turned me on a bit back in the day. Lol ;)
 
I don't get all the Kobra hate. Yes, he's a complete and shameless ripoff, but so what? Ripoffs aren't always bad. If there's anyone here who is a wrestling fan, you'll get this analogy. Ken Masters is like The Legion of Doom and Kobra is like Demolition. Many openly admit Demolition was a ripoffs of the LOD, but they still think Demolition was awesome too.

I'm not crazy about the character, but I am favorable towards him. I'd rank him above Jarek, Kai, Tanya, Bo' Rai Cho, Hsu Hao, Nitara, Mavado, Ashrah, Dairou, Hotaru, Daegon, Taven, and Shujinko. He's an homage to Ken Masters and the bad guy in Karate Kid, which i both love so I guess that's why I like this character. One of his combos is called Kobra Kai, I thought that was awesome. The snake on the back looks just like the Cobra Kai cobra. He also has a killer weapon combo I love to use.
