Sure. There are dozens upon dozens of characters in Mortal Kombat that are not palette swap ninjas. There's Quan Chin and Jax, ummm...Sonya, Lui Kang, Giro, Shang Tsung...well...you get the point.

If you ask any fan of the series however, they are likely to have at least one of these rainbow colored ninjas as one of their top 3 favorite characters.

I really don't get all of the hate for this being in the MK 1/2 outfit. While I gets that his first appearance as a playable character was in UMK3, this figure actually pays homage to his first actual appearance, which was as a doctored Polaroid that ran in EGM magazine back in the day. It kickstarted the urban legend to the character, as well as a mad frenzy in arcades all over the world to find him...with the hilarious conclusion being that like another arcade urban legend that EGM fueled, Sheng Long...he never actually existed.
