SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

p.W said:
The power is in the blood, but why would you say it's not Havik? We saw Havik finish a phrase started by Sub-Zero in the previous issue, and in this one the person speaking through Sub-Zero admits he was also speaking through Forrest Fox. It fits perfectly.

Because of what I said once, we just know it's Havik for sure because Kittelsen said.

What would avoid Havik being possessed too? You know, this has never been an ability of his.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean "what prevents Havik from being possessed"?

I don't see how this being a new ability is an issue. Johnny Cage never had the ability to send out "stunt doubles" before MKX, Reiko wasn't an expert weapons master before the comic, Reptile could never cloak other people as well as himself... things change.

Sorry, messed up.

Look, if Harpoon had never told me about Kittelsen's tweet, the one saying the "blood demon" would be revealed at the end of chapter 12, I would never say it was Havik.

The last comic was clear showing us that he was talking through Sub-Zero. But, if I had never read Harpoon, I would surely be asking "what if Havik is possessed too?".

Because that is not one of his powers. So, I think goro15's point come from the idea that Havik is possessing Sub-Zero because he is possessed, since blood is the power.

Ok that "blood kode" already exists (Kotal Kahn makes a pact with it, without knowing anything about possessions) and maybe people get crazy because it needs to be in the blood of a god, but, man, even Raiden fell on Havik's talk?

Too strange.

Ah, OK, thanks for clarifying. Yes, if we did not know for sure that it's Havik, then we could definitely speculate that it's not Havik! ;)
 
What I'm saying is that the blood (magic) is what causes the effect, not possession by a demon who is in fact Havik. When Havik dies, the daggers will still have the same effect.
 
Havik is the one corrupting the daggers though. It's his magic. They didn't start doing this until he seized power over them.
 
I'm not sure that's the case because Kittelsen tweeted that while Raiden thinks he needs to look for the demon, i.e. Havik, Raiden has been wrong before. Add this line by Sub and it seems like we don't know everything yet :) awesome to speculate though.

You could be right though. I mean, I could see Havik telling Cassie about the magic. That info could then easily get to Quan Chi, he has his ways ;) who uses it to free Shinnok and make him a god possessed.
 
The Kamidaggers have blood powers by itself. This is the blood kode, the one Kotal invoked. That's why he boosted his powers on that level (without any corruption, since he did with his own dagger and directly to the Elder Gods), the same thing that Sub-Zero is doing and the same thing Raiden did to have a better perspective.

The Kamidogu has this power. What Havik is doing is making people use this power, but for a purpose.

The thing is: HOW THE HELL HE CAN MAKE SOMEONE USE IT?

Ok, he could be tempting anyone. But Raiden? C'mon...I wish they explained how.

I'm not talking about their ability to amplify one's abilities, I mean the allure that they have. Their ability to warp minds, that is Havik's magic is what I'm saying.


[MENTION=18942]goro15[/MENTION] Quan Chi already knows about the daggers. Kano mentions it in the very first issue. Something along the lines of "Didn't Raiden tell you about the daggers' power? And their connection to Quan Chi?"

I know! :) It's because this Havik's magic is something I'm having hard time to understand, because it seems new.

And it was Fox! Not Kano! Kano said only that Raiden was lying.

That proves my point then, Quan Chi is connected and could be the one connected to it in the story more so than anyone else. The heavy hint at the boss in his arena is also a hint, though I sincerely hope we have not seen the boss stage yet!
 
Everyone's busy with the story leaks, but how's about spoilers for Chapter 14?

Spoiler:
Following the preview, Scorpion and Sub-Zero continue duking it out in an awesome fight scene. Sub-Zero begins to gain the upper hand, beating Hanzo heavily and mocking him for pretending to be a man instead of the wraith he really is. However, Kuai Liang then notices that his Kamidogu dagger is gone, snatched by Takeda during the battle. The possessed Sub-Zero notes that while he may no longer have the dagger, there's still enough blood magik in his veins to do some damage: Sub-Zero then unleashes a giant explosion of ice, freezing everything in the vicinity... including both Scorpion and Takeda! In the aftermath of the explosion, Kuai Liang has finally been freed from Havik's control, and confusingly wonders what has happened. Just then, Scorpion breaks free of the ice and renews his vicious attack on the disoriented Lin Kuei!

Back in Z'Unkahrah, Kotal goes over his strategy to protect the city from the oncoming Shokan army with Sonya and Johnny. They can use the aqueducts to protect their food stores from fire, and their walls should be able to keep the enemy out. Sonya, however, is less than convinced: depending on how many Shokan there are, the city's defenses could easily be overwhelmed. Kotal admits that they have no idea what state the Shokan's numbers are in with them living underground, but argues that if there are 100,000 Shokan rather than 10,000 at the city gates tomorrow, he'll challenge their greatest champion to Mortal Kombat.

D'Vorah and the Special Forces then interrupt to announce that the Shokan are in view. Kotal goes outside, and is horrified by what he sees. The Shokan do not march alone: alongside them are the gigantic Oni Warlords!

I think it's already time for the summary... Please someone

Edit: didn´t see your summary [MENTION=18507]Harpoon[/MENTION], but now I did, and I have to say thanks...
Even though the chapter doesn´t seem exciting like the last one...
I don´t know what happened with the comic since the last 2 weeks
 
Nice preview, Harpoon. Thanks. :)

I guess that means...

Spoiler:
...Kintaro will be killed by Kotal in Mortal Kombat.


Not certain, obviously, but IIRC he was leading the Shokan army in a previous chapter and we know Goro live.

That stunt double thing is a jab at The Miz and WWE
 
So the Giants that were marching with Kintaro and Shokan are Oni Warlords and are in fewer #'s than expected! And apparently that's worse than an army of a 100,000 Shokan LMAO!

Shyt got real, real quick!
 
1. Haviked Kuai Liang seems to be way stronger than Hanzo. He didn't even break a sweat during that fight. Although it should be said that Hanzo broke out of the ice on his own, so maybe he wasn't defeated yet... hmm. Still, I'm guessing that it's fair to say Haviked Kuai = Scorpion > Revenant Kuai > Kuai = Hanzo. What do you guys think? Seem like a good guess?

2. What happened at the end of the fight? Did Havik run out of batteries by using up more energy to freeze Scorpion and Takeda than he had intended? Very ambiguous. I suppose the next chapter will shed some light on this. But one shot of Havik saying something like "Damn... I thought I had more time!" would have really cleared things up in the meantime...

3. Oni in Outworld, and connected to the Shokan, no less? I thought Oni were primarily a Netherrealm thing. I'm dying to know why Kittelsen bothered to involve them.
