My ask contains a serious sensitive subject matter so I respect if you choose not to answer it, but did anyone else get the weird feeling that Noob Saibot's origins in MK1 had some non/con undertones? I thought I was overthinking it but then the newest trailer just added to my suspicion. They kept it unclear to what exactly Havik's done to Bi Han which makes it more sinister. Bi Han was clearly made into Noob Saibot against his will by Havik, the clothes part of his design is mangled, Havik invaded Bi Han's mind with "chaos", whatever that could possibly mean. Am I on to something or am I just over thinking it?
Do you mean rape? Rape, I don't think so (although they changed his clothes, it was only because, most likely, his old ones had already been ruined and Bi-Han had become a new pet for Havik, he must have ordered his minions to give Bi-Han new clothes. *And as someone pointed out to me, his pants are still the same. Which indicates that they weren't taken off), but he was transformed against his will for sure. It's in the datamined script that he was brainwashed too (although he can still recognizes Sektor and Scorpion even under the effect of Havik's spell), Bi-Han as Sub-Zero believes in order:
Bi-Han as Noob Saibot, does not:
Those needles we see going towards Bi-Han are what he referred to in the trailer as "Havik filled my mind with his chaos".
Bi-Han jumped into the portal with the intention of killing Havik and nothing more. But what was waiting for him on the other side of the portal was not only Titan Havik, but his entire army:
Obviously, Bi-Han lost the fight and was captured to be turned into Noob Saibot, a henchman under Havik's orders who has no control over his own mind (I really don't understand how some people are saying that he volunteered even after watching the trailers...). So much so that when Sektor takes him to Liu Kang, because only another god is capable of breaking Havik's magic, Bi-Han regains control of his mind and goes back to fighting Havik and his minions (just like he was at the beginning of the expansion, in Outworld).
The bio says that Bi-Han died, following the Bio and the datamined script, Bi-Han was probably tortured to death (although, I have agreed with some theories that the death mentioned in the bio may just be a metaphor).
However, he can still be restored to his original form (human, cryomancer)...
I believe we will see Bi-Han being restored as Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot becoming a separate entity from Bi-Han in the Noob Saibot's ending or Sektor's ending.
