10 Video Game Mysteries That BAFFLED Gamers For Years

10. Noob Saibot's Identity - Mortal Kombat Deception

Although the original Mortal Kombat was successful, the sequel surpassed it in almost every way, offering a better roster, tighter gameplay, and a lot more blood.

On top of that, MKII allowed players to face even more secret opponents if certain criteria was fulfilled. After winning 25 Versus matches in a row, you could face a shadowy ninja called Noob Saibot. Despite being a black reskin of Sub-Zero, players were fascinated by this elusive kombatant. Even though Noob appeared in numerous follow-ups, nothing was known about him, magnifying the speculation.

And when Mortal Kombat: Deception was released, the cat was finally let out of the bag. After completing the Arcade Mode with Noob, he's revealed to be Sub-Zero from the first Mortal Kombat, Bi-Han. When Scorpion was murdered, he erroneously believed Bi-Han was to blame and executed him. Due to suffering an unjustified death, Bi-Han was reborn as a vengeful wraith called Noob while his brother, Kuai Liang, took on the mantle of Sub-Zero.

Though revealing Noob Saibot's identity could've ruined his mystique, his backstory turned him into one of the most fascinating MK characters, as well as one of the most tragic. (Well, until Mk1 ruined it with the most recent retcon but let's just forget that happened.)
