the playable characters from Mortal Kombat X

Mortal Kombat X is a fighting game from the franchise of NetherRealm Studios. As usual, there's blood and guts as well as the classic display of exploding heads and torn limbs. What's different is more than a few characters added to the roster. Half are legacy characters, children and successors of past Mortal Kombatants, and a few are surprises like the actual Predator (the inspiration for the cyber-ninjas) and Jason (as a counterpoint to Freddy).

Up vote who you think are the best characters of Mortal Kombat X.

    As ultimate hunting machine, it's no wonder the Predator wandered into the Mortal Kombat world. He's one of the DLC characters and is a hit. The Predator is the inspiration for the cybernetic ninjas that appeared in the sequel Mortal Kombat games, using the signature self-destructs sequence, razor nets, and projectiles.

    The previous Mortal Kombat game had Freddy Krueger as a special DLC character, and now Mortal Kombat X has Jason Voorhees in the bloody spotlight. Sporting his trademark machete, this undead serial killer is sure to please slasher fans.  

    Expect homages to his various kills from his signature movies.

    Tremor is a palette-swapped ninja, and following the theme of the other ninjas, he represents an elemental affinity. Sub-Zero is ice, Scorpion is fire, Smoke is air, Rain is water, and now Tremor is earth.
