There's one thing that speaks against that. If it was his shadow he could throw as many as he wanted because people have more then one shadow, depending on what light where the light is coming from.
You keep saying they couldn't exist without eachother but we have "No idea" what soul got infused with Bi han's body and just how powerful it is. Noob also told CSZ that they shired blood but they where not brothers. This could mean many things, that Bi Hans just a puppet to Saibot or he is infact Bi Han just a shadow of what he used to be.
And 19 years as a cop doesn't make you the "Cop." Bi han may have only been Sub Zero in 3 games that doesn't make him any less Sub Zero then kuai liang. Because in story Bi Han was Sub Zero since he was taken as a kid that was what 27 years before he died in Mk1. Like I said before most people had no clue Bi han was kill and His brother took over untill it was put directly into the story in later games. Most just seen him as Sub Zero. So it's not Kuai liang that has the fan following it's Sub Zero that has the following, same for Noob saibot.
Plus Kuai liang didn't really do anything that made him more popular then Bi han killing Scorpion did. it was that that made them both uber popular.
Well that would make sense if there's multiple shadows because his arse spams them all day long.
Here's other facts about Noob that also makes it great that Bi-Han is Noob Saibot.
Raiden warned him that if he did not change his ways he would ultimately descend to the fifth plane of the netherrealm where he would meet a fate not even known to Raiden. Ya know what game that happened in? The awe-inspiring, coveted, award-winning Sub-Zero mythologies (excuse me while I try not to be sarcastic). You know what that fate was? Becoming Noob Saibot. What made it even greater is that he refused to serve Quan Chi in life, but since he didn't change his ways he was forced to serve the brotherhood and Quan Chi in death. He didn't change his ways and was on his way to assassinate Shang Tsung which was just another kill for him. He didn't regret it, and he wasn't going to change. Unfortunately for him he was killed by Scorpion and true to Raiden's words he descended to the fifth plane where the darkness in his soul took over killing any good that was in him. Basically, he deserves to be in hell. His evil overcame him and now he revels in it. He loves being evil. All of this information makes me wonder where you're getting what soul was placed within him? I don't understand that. The darkness in BI-HAN'S OWN SOUL is what makes him Noob Saibot. Nothing was imbedded in him. His own darkness overtook him because he let it.
That's also why he told Sub-Zero "We share blood we are not brothers." It showed just the contrast between the two. Even being turned cyber Kuai Liang still took the good path, he still overcame his obstacles just like he always does. Bi-han couldn't. He didn't change and he became evil as a result. It's a good line because it shows that Yes they share blood, but indeed nothing about them says they are brothers. They are polar opposites, and that's why Kuai Liang will always be the better Sub-Zero to me. He takes the high road even under circumstances that would drag most of us down. Which is quite honestly why a lot of people like Bi-Han because being evil is the cool thing to do now. That line was in no way insisting that a symbiote has control of him though. I don't even know where you would be getting that.
Also, 19 years as a cop may not make you the "Cop", but it makes you damn well respected, and as a character(even though he is just that) Kuai Liang deserves the title of Sub-Zero. Being Sub-Zero in only one of the official fighting games does not allow you to call yourself Sub-zero when your brother has took the name and carried it for the entirety of the franchise with the exception of 1 year. They are not people, but if they were I would say that Kuai Liang deserves that title any day over Bi-Han. Any day of the week.
Killing Scorpion did not make Sub-Zero popular. When it came down to it when I was young the color blue is what made Sub-Zero popular to me. I didn't even know there were two, but as I got older and learned there were two I was naturally just drawn to Kuai Liang. He's took on different forms, been through so much, and now continues to go through so much. I'm telling you Sub-Zero is Kuai Liang. I don't know why I keep arguing this with you though. Tarkatan_Trash does the right thing. He just comes in and leaves a sentence like "Sub-Zero is a trademark of Kuai Liang" and then leaves. That's exactly what I should do, but for some reason I can't help defending my character.
Also ask me this why some of you pick and choose what you want to hear or believe?
Boon says "There is Noob and there is Saibot" and you go into conniptions saying "Ohmagosh you guys they are two people".
However when Raiden says "You are surely more poweful than your brother" in MKvsDc it doesn't count. Even though you know that Boon in all likeliness has to approve the script in order for it to go through.
Also, Kuai Liang straight up beat Bi-Han in story mode. Fair and square. But then you say Oh no that's just how storymode was set up. He can't be more powerful than Bi-Han.
It's crazy. What in the hell has Bi-Han done to deserve this kind of adoration? He literally got killed in Mk1 and became Noob Saibot in MK2. That's the entirety of his story as Sub-Zero besides the dickriders who follow Mythologies like it's the bible. However, as far as the Linear fighting games he's only been THE Sub-Zero in one game. Every game after that Kuai Liang was Sub-Zero.
I just really don't understand where the adoration comes from. It's not warranted, and it's not deserved. He's done nothing to have the amount of fans that he does. Unless you count him as Noob Saibot, and then I could understand it. However, wanting him to be Sub-Zero so bad is just not understood to me, and never will be.
