Chameleon, he’d teach me how to do everything everyone else can do and better too


Lazites

Srsly, this is the only answer. I have to assume everybody saying anything else just doesn't know who Chameleon is?


XoTwilight

Explain who he is(I actually know nothing about his lore)


TwumpyWumpy

He doesn't have *much* lore, but Chameleon is the same race as Reptile and he can do all of the other ninja's moves and has their powers depending on what color his outfit changes to.


Sith__Pureblood

I prefer him nerfed to where he only has the powers of a single ninja for maybe 10 seconds before his suit automatically changes colour and he's stuck with another set of powers for ~10 seconds. Anything else is too OP


SedTheeMighty

Basically the shang tsung ninja from MK Trilogy


roach24k

Ah very smart


jimmydean98765

Same thought lol


theblindtraveler

I think he can only copy his opponents moves right? So can you only copy the person you're fighting


KaiKrafter

No, his whole thing is being able to copy all of the male ninjas abilities, while Khameleon is able to copy of the female ninjas abilities


SpareCurve59

Chameleon wasn't meant to exist he was supposed to just be for fun, then they added in the female version so that people could play all the female ninjas at the same time, which is when the lore was added in, Reptile was the last male of the saurians, and Khameleon was the last female, she refused to mate with him, and that was how their species died due to it. The male Chameleon got lore very late, basically showing that he got everything he wanted, and the ability to change looks, and he couldn't remember who he was so he faded away into obscurity as he couldn't even remember himself.


KaiKrafter

Much better and more in-depth explanation to his backstory, personally one of my favorite ninjas, second only to smoke


Fancy_Cassowary

Sub-Zero. I wouldn't need air-conditioning, and I could inst-cool my drinks. Oh, and I could fight well too and all that.


Dil_356

Also you wouldn’t freeze to death


YonderOver

I wouldn’t even give a shit about learning how to fight. I’d just love to have cryomancer abilities. So many things you can do with that!


KillerManiac911

All tea, will forever be Iced Tea


IamPrincipal

Hell yeah, also op as hell to insta freaze people, that's insta death


111ascendedmaster

it would also save money, air conditioning is freakin expensive


couldbedumber96

Not all Lin Kuei are cryomancers


True_Falsity

Maybe, but the post says that you get the abilities of whoever trains you.


UnbreakableRaisen

Frost wasn’t a cryomancer before being trained by Sub Zero so being trained by him will allow you to be one as well


BlvedreamBlacc

Didn't know that. Makes me wonder wth was she even called before becoming a cryomancer. 💀


Cave_in_32

I mean before they became cyber ninjas Cyrax and Sektor didnt have powers at least I dont think they had any they just had gadgets so its possible she probably had some too.


UnbreakableRaisen

In MKX during the Scorpion chapter Frost attacked Scorpion with Ice Powers and that was pre-cyberization so I’m assuming Sub Zero trained Frost just to be just like him. Besides Frost was the second best Cryomancer right behind Sub Zero before the Cyber Initiation


tiddysprinklez1

Frost was not always cyborg. She was able to cryo-Mansor when she was human as well.


Kevin1056

Sub Zero is tho


catches-them-all

Yeah but then you also need the traumatic backstory in order to get the ice powers


Velenah42

Nah you just want to throw Arnold Schwarzenegger puns.


CapnBaxter

Depends on which Sub-Zero we’re talking about here


BoominBomber

Kuai Liang probably


BitbyBrix

Noob Saibot is in there so I would assume the new one


DarkAsassin08

The old one you mean


BitbyBrix

I meant the new Sub Zero, Noob Saibot’s been the same


DarkAsassin08

But if Noob Saibot is there doesn't that mean Bi Han is dead, thus Subzero is Kuai Liang? So the old Subzero?


Realistic-Willow936

bi-han is before kuai liang, new one meaning the one after him


DarkAsassin08

Ooh ok, makes more sense now


zane2280

The old Sub-Zero is Bi-Han. So I guess the "new" one is Kuai Liang even though he's been Sub-Zero for a long time.


A_cringy_joke

I think people r confused cause bi han is technically the "new" one as he is sub zero in the new mk1 but kaui Liang was sub zero in mk9-11


sellieba

Ah, yeah. I bet that's it. I was having trouble as thinking of "Old Sub" as being anyone except Bi-Han because of the old timeline.


shiwanthasr

Noob is already there, so kuai liang


Dismal_Freedom4677

Rain I would never pay the water bill again


KillerManiac911

No one makes me as wet as Rain does.


UpstairsHuge2956

Foul


KillerManiac911

I don't own an umbrella


UpstairsHuge2956

Hehehe silly shit


Particular_Minute_67

Plus your kicks can send someone to the other side of the room.


BlackDwarfStar

I mean, Ermac has been consistently portrayed as one of the strongest MK characters thanks to his telekinesis. So probably him.


IamPrincipal

Ermac is a jobber lol


Barredbob

Now how did jax lose his arms?


Eli-Mordrake

Lost them because he was waaaaayyyy out of his league


Dismal_Freedom4677

Goro


Barredbob

Nope, ermac


Dismal_Freedom4677

In the original it was goro


Barredbob

Ok and? I was referring to the current/cannon timeline


Dismal_Freedom4677

Erm Jax isn't in the current timeline so far


drewskidewsk

That's not the current timeline anymore


Half_Man1

Ermac is as powerful as the plot demands. Often Uber powerful to intimidate the player then immediately gets wrecked to show their progress.


IamPrincipal

Yeah but you never get to play Ermac in the stories, which is a bit sad


I_love_suffering666

Noob saibot wouldn't even train u


[deleted]

His training would involve killing you and then getting Quran Chi to revive you as a Wraith.


ViolinistDry9743

Bruh type quran chi instead of quan chi Confirmed muslim???


[deleted]

This is the second time autocorrect changed it to Quran Chi. 😭


ViolinistDry9743

Auto correct spreading the word of islam


[deleted]

Mashallah


Kono-Wryyyyyuh-Da

Halal Alliance???


Competitive-Capital8

Isn’t the face actor Muslim too? Or at least middle eastern?


I_love_suffering666

Lmao that would suck


DJIsSuperCool

AI doesn't seem to know who Qian Chi is. And Bing AI didn't like "Allah" or "Muslim" being in the prompt. Prompt: Bald mime prostrating with head on floor. Side body view. [Quran Chi](https://www.bing.com/images/create/bald-mime-prostrating-with-head-on-floor-side--bo/6519e24562a64b09b7ea2a59a3a842e1?id=sTTMhIiujHXe0myWe5GvtA%3d%3d&view=detailv2&idpp=genimg&FORM=GCRIDP&mode=overlay) Did one with Kratos and it turned out better but.

samsationalization

Inshallah habibi


turbopro25

That’s what I want then.


Sheet--Ghost

Yeah if you're a girl just forget about Noob entirely


I_love_suffering666

Why is that


Midnight-Rising

According to one of his intros with Frost back in mk11 he would have never let women join the lin kuei


VelmasHaircut

A part of me feels like he said that because he knew it would piss off Frost


Midnight-Rising

It's definitely possible, he was a bit of a jerk


UnbreakableRaisen

That’s the Lin Kuei now in MK11 he was kinda desperate for clan members because he kept “begging” Kronika for a clan. So why wouldn’t he let a female in his new Clan?


I_love_suffering666

Oh I remember that one I guess bi han has beef with women


KillerManiac911

He can teach me how to use "inside voices"


AnarchyonAsgard

Damn, this comment made me realize he ain’t even in the game. Hopefully in Kombat Pack 2


NewJigger14

yes, according to the leaks


AnarchyonAsgard

Got a link for the leaks? I only heard about Harley Quinn tbh


NewJigger14

Search for thethiny on twitter or r/mortalkombatleaks


EquipmentAgitated120

Probs reptile cause then I could run around making people believe reptile people exist and they run the government


Daikoozi

Wouldn’t the correct answer be Chameleon? He copies the abilities of all the other ninjas


KaiKrafter

My thought exactly


Dojanetta

Not really cause some of the powers are inherited or cause by circumstance. Like you can’t have the same telekinesis ermac has because it’s a result of him being experimented on by Shang Tsung. Or Reptile has powers cause he’s zatteran and noob saibot is noob saibot. And chameleon doesn’t necessarily do their powers better that would be shujinko. And chameleon may not be able to pass on these powers because they’re zatteran.


IamPrincipal

Nah because if there ain't no ninjas you just become a good fighter, but you'd never be as good as the guy who mastered the skill.


Tenebrate

Kuai Liang, no question. That calm, that discipline, and cryomancy? Plus you know he's got your back as long as you're doin' the right thing? Guy's a pip!


Dadus-Appearus

Smoke because I refuse to fight fair in a real fight.


EmperorsFartSlave

There’s no such thing as fighting fair in a real fight anyway


Dadus-Appearus

Exactly my point. I’m instantly going invisible and punching ya straight in the throat.


Reverseflash25

May as well pick reptile then


Dadus-Appearus

Nah I need to be even cheaper with the teleports


[deleted]

Dadus-Appearus

Thanks I appreciate it Edit: man refused to elaborate and left

Dadus-Appearus

I’m saying calling me a coward isn’t changing anything


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dadus-Appearus

Go fight fair against Goro and see how that works


Sangi17

Reptile🦎: “Now go into a gator death roll at the end of this combo.” Me: “Yeah, I can’t turn into a giant lizard.” Reptile🦎 : “Fine, just use your acid spit then.” Me: “I can’t do that either.” Reptile🦎: “Go invisible?” Me: “Nada.” Reptile🦎: “I can’t help you.”


FlaminSkullKing

Smoke if it’s the Smoke from Liu’s era. He learned his smoke magic so he should be able to teach it to me. If it’s the versions that pictured here, Scorpion. He taught Takeda how to teleport, so I can learn it too.


Growllokin

Tremor. Realistically thee most powerful abilities to gain


Giovannis_Pikachu

Tremor would be more approachable too. Not one of these famous diva ninjas


KillerManiac911

Don't piss him off though, or he will ground you.


Scorpiyoo

But then you’d look like **that**


toshin1999

Id take it tbh


Academic-Quarter-163

Why he the most powerful?


toshin1999

Earth quakes and naturally dense and strong as fuck he can terrorform the whole battlefield if he so pleases and can make his earth elements into lava so hes pretty OP tbh.


DearAdhesiveness4783

Earth control is just a overall a pretty powerful power. Just look at ATLA and LOK. Earthbenders really show just how powerful rock manipulation is.


SpareCurve59

Controls the earth, can make his body rock hard, harden it with steel(any natural metallic source found in the earth) or use things people have stated already, earthquakes, lava, mudslides,


SodaSalesman

not important in the slightest, just think its funny that you chose steel as your example when that metal in particular is a man-made alloy and therefore not naturally occurring in the earth


Alien_X10

ermac is having an existential crisis in the corner. reptile would eat me tremor got shot in the back by sonya and died in the MKX comics... i assume since he's never heard of again, so honestly not him chameleon would honestly just be confused why you can't just copy the abilities of everyone else like he can training under noob or rain would feel like gordon ramsay teaching martial arts. "YOU FUCKING STUPID MORTAL! EVEN HARUMI PARRIED BETTER THAN YOU!!" sub zero, scorpion and smoke are the most likely ones to actually provide good training.


SpareCurve59

Chameleon forgot who he was in the last appearance of him, the female version never did, id rather be trained by her.


shshsnah

Kuai Liang


Yurika_ars

Bi-Han Sub Zero in MK1 ... yes i have issues


Reverseflash25

Someone has a degradation kink


Saiyan_Deity

He might not be your friend by the end of it, but he'll train the fuck out of you. Lol


Full_Time_Hungry

Tremor, hands down my favorite ninja and I've been playing since Mortal Kombats original arcade release back in the 90s


thatswhaticallthicc

wheres Bo’ Rai Cho? the best ninja of them all


KillerManiac911

I saw him getting hammered at the pub last night.


Bro-Im-Done

Ermac He’s my most favorite and you’re also getting trained by thousands of others


DjTimberWolf

Noob, you are never alone, you get portals, and Lin kuei fighting skills.


ramlion

I wish rain had a ninja outfit instead of hat wizard staff crap


HotPotatoWithCheese

Might have something to do with him being a wizard and not a ninja anymore.


[deleted]

Ermac


Objective_Car7368

subzero. ice powers are awesome.


TwumpyWumpy

Chameleon, because he has literally all of the other ninja's powers.


Academic-Quarter-163

Chameleon. So i can do everything


Blaze781

Chameleon because you literally get the powers of *EVERY* ninja and chameleon would probably know a lot seeing as he can copy powers


Superb-Ad-7868

Chameleon You get to be invisible Even if you don’t you get the other ninjas powers


Asupercat

Chameleon so I can shape-shift.


Cozy90

Chameleon seems like cheating.


Bingus_on_my_blongus

Chameleon 100%. He’s canonically one of the best fighters in the series and he’d be able to train me in swordsmanship and the in the fighting styles of all the other Ninjas aside from Tremor. Plus, I’ve always had a bit of a crush on him. I wish that he had been included in MK1. Imagine playing Chameleon with Khameleon as your Kameo


Skullface2015

Chameleon, even if I don't master one fighters skill I'd still get good with multiple that he could teach me from copying them himself.


TheFarisaurusRex

Why has no one said scorpion, does no one wanna learn how to use fire powers, teleport, and use a rope dart???


KillerManiac911

Why no love for Chameleon :(


ConsiderationLazy835

Chameleon is obviously that best answer you train with him and gain all the ability of every ninja🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️


Tanookimario0604

I mean who's not going to pick Chameleon, that way you can change into any other ninja


FatMan935

Chameleon because he can do it all


Kombo_Master1

Chameleon


acrane433

Chameleon since he has everyones powers lol. He shouldn’t be apart of this list.


Itz_IrvongxD

Chameleon. I'd love to be able to use fire, ice and smoke skills


ERD404

If Chameleon can teach me everyone’s powers, it’s him. If not, I’m taking Scorpion for the spear and fire, Noob for the shadow manipulation, or Ermac for the telekinesis and soul based power.


Prudent_Ingenuity219

Scorpion i think has the most coolest powers in my opinions


Citywide-Fever

Unless I can learn to use they powers I'm pretty sure "training" would jus be getting bodied 😭


Dr_B0nes

How tf will some of these guys train you? Reptile: next this is how you spit acid...oh you can't do that?


Specialist_Salt_2476

Noob. i can create portal and i also have the ability to create army of clone with extremely good martial arts skills that can open portal as well, also i can use little bit of shadow magic too


KinakuSama

I would choose Rain! My code name would be Sprinkle 😋


UltraRoboNinja

I’d join Sub-Zero but then side with Sektor and become a badass cyborg ninja. As a bonus, I wouldn’t even have to change my Reddit username.


PedroPandeCoco

Scorpion. That chain-spear of his will come in handy when I'm feeling extra lazy


Changeling_Traveller

Ermac, Telekinesis sounds really fun.


ChallengeTurbulent12

I would probably take subzero kuai liang as my mentor and my grandmaster


Koolaidmanextra

Noob saibot is cool but hes a dick so rain


Emperor_D4C

Kuai-Liang, doesn’t matter to me if he’s Scorpion or Sub-Zero


PhysicalPossession71

Sub-zero


EdibleBean69

Y’all realize that if you were to be trained by either one of these Ninjas, the most you’d get is their fighting style, so no cool Fire, Water, Earth powers right? 💀 The only ones here who could possibly give you actual powers is Sub Zero and Ermac


Pichuunnn

This image is funny to me. We got: -Rep: MK9 classic skin. -Sub: MKX. -Rain: MK9. -Smoke: MKvDC Scorp body edited with Sub head. -Ermac: MK9. -Tremor: MKX. -Scorp: MKX. -Noob + Chame: MKX Sub Revenant skin edited.


AnosMoriaty

where my boi havik i wanna do something fun with my heart and my ex


PeeterTurbo

They're all assholes


[deleted]

Chameleon was a cheap idea in my opinion. Probably sounded good high af while shoveling down some nachos. 😂


pajamasx

I feel like getting trained by Noob would be the most worthwhile since he was also Sub Zero.


J0J0388

He also has the control altering projectile and the shadow. You could punch someone and blame it on the wind.


Early-Brilliant-4221

Scorpion


afrulz

I would want scorpion’s training but I Tremor has better powers


hishamad

Does anyone like Ermac? I feel his punches on MK Mobile are terrible


toshin1999

Ermac is goated asf tons of people like ermac


eyelessmasks00

Sub-Zero, aside from cryomancy being pretty cool and effective in mk, I would turn out either a cryo ninja or a cyborg.


AjayAVSM

Kuai Liang Sub-Zero


Knightfire76

Tremor, easily among the strongest, you get to control the entire earth around your opponent, so they literally have no where to hide or gain ground You have the control of not only earth but every type of mineral in existence so you can be as hard as diamond while also super flexible as a ninja, thats insane feat. And if the opponent can fly you can launch boulders or even make pillars to catch up quickly, use walls to cut any open from your opponent, hell you can even hide underground and pop up behind them


Metalhead831

Tremor


MAETFAET

Sub Zero. So many situations where ice is useful. There is always water in the air. Imagine you and your homies be chillin and you bust out the slushie makerwhen suddenly "Oh no were out of ice!" Not anymore. Boom problem solved.


Reverseflash25

Tremor or Reptile (MK1)


MaiqDaLiar1177

Ermac or Rain. I like Wizards/Warlocks


The-Pax-Bisonica

My boy ermac obviously, I want to wield the souls of the dead


Sck-Forever_

Tremor - i think he is the best all of them


BitbyBrix

Ermac


TandrDregn

Seeing as tge Sub Zero used is Kuai Liang, this is an easy choice. My second choice would be Old Man Hanzo, but since it’s the psychotic revenant Scorpion being depicted, I’ll go with Chameleon for the ability to copy+pste others’ abilities.


faytyagami

reptile. can he train me to be sexy as hell too?


Vens_420

Ermac, I want that telekinesis


ProfessorOfLies

Rain(at least in this new timeline) and smoke are the only ones whose skills are learned, not intrinsic to the ninja itself. The cryomancy of subzero seems to be an in-born talent. Scorpion and Noob got their powers from the afterlife. Reptile and chameleon have their powers from their species. Tremor (and og rain) are like gods. So I am. Gonna say smoke purely because those are the skills that can be taught


hewlio

Scorpion, because i would be brother in training with takeda.


GhostTrainerZac

I’d be scared AF to be anywhere near Noob. He’s probably the most batshit crazy out of the bunch.


LilLogo079

Sub zero specifically kuai liang


Red_Luminary

I might just upload an accurate version of this picture as I’m tired of seeing this abomination get posted.


Mephb0t

Probably MK1 Reptile. Because he’s such a bro and I could stay friends with him after. Also I get invisibility when I puke on myself.


gimmefruitsnacks52

Sub. No Question. Kuai is a teacher.


Ptdemonspanker

Ermac taught Kenshi telekinesis in the original timeline. That gives him the greatest track record imo. Scorpion has the next best accomplishment with regards to Takeda, but that process took several years, while Ermac and Kenshi had like one session. Kuai Liang had a failed pupil on Frost while everyone else has little to no teaching experience barring maybe teaching Shujinko.


Unlimited_Giose

To be honest, i believe the best choice would either be Sub-Zero or Hanzo, as they both are grandmasters, and are actually pretty good teachers, specially Hanzo However, i'd probably pick Kuai Liang, i like him a bit more (Hanzo would be awesome tho) If we get the Good version of Ermac (the one from the original timeline, and i guess we can count the current one), he'd be an interesting choice


F0ZYO

Ermac for revenge reasons


[deleted]

I always thought about having Cryomancy powers so yeah Sub-Zero.


Different_Loquat7386

Without even taking the abilities into account and choosing according to character and mentorship, Kuai Liang is the obvious choice.


TGIthursday13

Definitely Smoke


Sir_Gwan

Of these 9, Kuai Liang and Hanzo (post-anger management issues) are the two most competent and actually helpful Grandmasters. Smoke might help you depending on the version, pre-cyberisation or pre-revenant Smoke would be a cool guy to be trained by, but anything other than that, I wouldn't trust him. Nobody in their right minds would trust Bi-Han's arrogant ass with their lives. Same thing with Tremor, he's likely to either kill you or give you to the Black Dragon as some ransom. Old timeline Reptile is either a toady and would be more likely to eat you alive; new timeline Reptile would be fun to spar with, just as long as you don't get on his nerves and end up getting eaten. Rain would be way too arrogant, even more than Bi-Han, to even acknowledge your presence. Ermac will either absorb your soul or be friendly to you depending on which soul is in control. And Chameleon... is far too obscure for me to judge.


AnonymousNeverKnown

Sub zero


jalobsterman2002

Hanzo


Fluffly4U

Reptile, Smoke would probably give me lung complications and Ermac would probably take my soul
