Noob Saibot

Noob Saibot is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series, debuting as a mysterious hidden character in Mortal Kombat II, depicted as a black silhouette of other ninja characters. While making subsequent appearances in Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat 4, and updates to those games, his backstory wasn't established until 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception. In Deception, his true identity was revealed as the original Sub-Zero, who had been killed by his nemesis Scorpion during the events of the first Mortal Kombat. Noob Saibot's name is a play on the last names of Mortal Kombat creators Ed Boon and John Tobias, spelled backward. Initially, he shared moves and graphics with other characters, before being given his own unique moveset and appearance. In the story, he has served various villains, including Quan Chi, Shinnok, and Shao Kahn, but ultimately is loyal only to himself. In Mortal Kombat 1, Noob Saibot is manipulated by a godly Havik from another timeline, becoming a perfect henchman dedicated to fomenting anarchy.
