Post subject: Mortal Kombat Unofficial Characters |
 |
| |
Belokk
Belokk was a scrapped character who would have been in Mortal Kombat Gold but was cut from the final release. He was created by Eurocom and, according to Ed Boon, was removed from the game as the developers did not have time to finish the character. However, Eurocom accidentally sent information about the game with Belokk in it to Game Informer, and as a result, six screenshots of him reached the public in a preview.
Even though he was scrapped prior to the release of Gold, it was rumored that he was still in the game as a secret character. In the game, the player could choose alternate costumes for a character, and their icon on the select screen rotated to that costume. Other hidden characters in the game can be accessed and revealed in the character boxes of Shinnok (hidden Goro), Cyrax (hidden Sektor), and Reiko (hidden Noob Saibot). Tanya's character box reveals a question mark when rotated, and it was rumored that the mark was to represent Belokk, had he actually been in the game. Previous to this, the mark was written off as one of the many of glitches in Mortal Kombat Gold.

Hornbuckle
In Mortal Kombat II, Hornbuckle is the name fans have given to the character opposite Torch in the background of the Pit II stage. Upon closer inspection, it is clear that "Hornbuckle" is nothing more than a palette swap of the sprite used for Liu Kang in the main game, wearing pants with a green trim and a green headband rather than Liu Kang's normally red-colored outfit. The name Hornbuckle comes from the hints that Jade and Smoke, two secret characters in the game, would randomly give before matches. Ed Boon once referred to the character as Liu Kang.
One of Jade's hints was "Hornbuckle Who?" This was a reference to someone named Leanne Hornbuckle who appeared in the credits for Mortal Kombat II. However, fans intepreted this as the name of the character in the background. The character in the background of the Pit II stage was later added to Blaze's storyline, presumed to be one of the "holy men" who captured and forced him to guard the Dragon King's egg. Hornbuckle appears in Shaolin Monks during the fifth quest given by Smoke. The Pit II area shows Hornbuckle and Blaze sparring in the background.
Nimbus Terrafaux
Nimbus Terrafaux was rumored to be a kickboxer playable character in the first Mortal Kombat game as an unlockable secret character. However, he did not actually appear in it. The Nimbus Terrafaux character was later revealed as a creation of Electronic Gaming Monthly as part of an April Fool's Day joke. They had previously interviewed Ed Boon on the new Mortal Kombat game, and Boon mentioned the secret kickboxer character, amongst several other "hidden" characters. The magazine then intentionally published false information on this character, complete with phony screenshots and a fabricated storyline of his tournament involvement. The factuality of this character was debated for a long time, and the search for "Nimbus Terrafaux" was a mission taken on by many Mortal Kombat fans. The name Terrafaux lends a hint that this rumor was false. Terra being Latin and Portuguese for Earth, and faux being French for fake.
Skarlett
Skarlet is a glitch character that appears when the sprites for Kitana and Mileena in MK2 appear red in color.
Torch
Torch is a background character in Mortal Kombat II that is seen fighting Hornbuckle. Midway opted to make Torch a real character due to his popularity, but could not use the name Torch, due to Marvel's Human Torch bearing that same name. The Torch character eventually became Blaze.

Good stuff there. Does anyone else think Bellok looks likewhat Batman would have looked like if he was born in the MK universe?

Like Batman? I guess if you tore off chunks of his flesh and transformed him into a demon from hell, maybe.
I think he doesn't look like he's copying any other character...he just looks stupid.

I actually wish Belokk would have made it into the games; it would have been a great change of pace from the roster we did receive in MK4. Who knows though, perhaps we'll see him come MK8?

Ahaha, you got that stuff off of Wikipedia!
What's funny is that I'm the one that pretty much put that section together =)

Yeah, I noticed that. I don't see why we'd want to see this anyway, no one was wondering 'damn, who's nimbus?'
Jay-Z, what's your username on wikipedia anyway?

Jay-Z is a Mortal Kombat fan!? And he's on TMK???
Oh snap!!!!111
Oh wait... you're talking about me...
*sigh*
My username on Wikipedia is Da Letter Jay, but I haven't gone on that account in ages. I usually just do a quick edit just using my IP address.
I was bored that day and I decided to clean up this page and it's been like that since. Do you have a username on Wikipedia, KK?

Yeah true that, I really don't like Wikipedia anymore because it's just a mess how people can't agree on what's "factual" or not. And it's not cool how anyone can just edit a page and deliberately write crap. That's why I'm making my own website over the summer.

I sure hope that they put Belokk in MK9, and make him a little like Shang Tsung, and his own style.
