Does reboot Stryker count? They took one of the least popular characters of all time and turned him into a badass.

On a side note, this reminded me that I really need to check out the animated movies, and Snow Blind is a joy, really nice to see Kenshi get a lot of focus, and the whole film is a really fun take on Mortal Kombat in a slightly different genre with some excellent versions of the characters (though a few cameos that left me like 'huh?' with their random inclusion).

All the kids from MKX and Frost. Still annoys me how they introduced Takeda and Kung Jin in MKX, spend time in the story mode building them up, and then they're just not in MK11 at all.

Side topic of discussion here for the hell of it: which guest character for the MK series has been portrayed best (not necessarily how they play in game, but references and such)? Robocop and Rambo having their actors come in as well as their movie references helped...and from what little I know from his source material they did Spawn well too. Spawn’s dialogue is plenty fun, particularly when he faces a “bad guy”. Fortunately, the game already had a mature rating or else his dialogue would have gotten it there.

Erron Black has such a great design that stands out yet fits perfectly in the universe.
Gotta show some love for Kotal Khan too.

Somewhat related, this is why part of me hopes Capcom gets more ambitious with potential SF6 crossover DLC. Yeah, playing Lucia and Abigail and FF characters and Akira from Rival Schools in SF5 is cool for old school Capcom heads like me, but other potential new players will see that and think “ok, cool, but I can go play Smash because they also have Sonic and Sora and Cloud, or MK with Robocop and Terminator and Rambo, or Tekken with Negan and Akuma and Geese”. Like Capcom already did a fun Jojo game and they gave Seth Jojo punches, I don’t see why Giorno Giovanna can’t show up in a future SF6 season. If they don’t want a full MK/SF crossover, just bring in Liu Kang or Sonya in for a guest spot as a compromise. I see Luffy mods for Dhalsim all the time, might as well talk to Oda or Jump or whatever channels and get the real deal. Lots of super potentials in his Gears. If Noctis can be in Tekken, why not Tifa in SF?

Are we counting the guest characters from movies & such? Either way, Li Mei. It’s high time for Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor, together at last.

If Notcis can be in Tekken, why not Tifa in SF? Capcom need to bring in Kobra.

And also the King Cobra character that Rufus originally replaced.

I just want a fighting game franchise that will give me The Toxic Avenger as a guest character, is that SO much to ask?

The first I I equipped them and charged them with lightning, hoo boy! He might be broken for a fighting game, to be honest. Sure, speedsters aren’t new to fighting games but they don’t also do lightning damage as well.

I'll throw out another vote for the Kombat Kids and Erron Black, but I have another couple of out-there picks:
Dairou and Hotaru.
I get that they're not super popular, but I'm a sucker for a good "renegade wrongfully accused cop/straight-laced former partner sent to hunt them down" dynamic. I feel like they wouldn't get so much hate if Netherrealm had spent more time fleshing out the Orderrealm/Chaosrealm conflict, and if Darius wasn't such a blatant Morpheus clone.
Onaga was also a good addition to Deception, imo, and I'm still kinda annoyed that MK11 just wound up revolving around time travel shenanigans instead of being the new timeline version of Deception.
Also, I'll be honest; I have a weird affection for Meat. Yes, he was literally just a hidden skin in MK4, but I thought the retcon of him being a failed Flesh Pit experiment in Armageddon was a really interesting concept, and he was kinda fun to play. Part of me was actually hoping that, back when Skarlet was still a blood golem, that Netherrealm would maybe do a Noob-Smoke deal with her and Meat.

I don't think I've played since the first or second game after they went 3D, but I recall being greatly amused at the addition of drunken boxing with Bo Rai Cho
