Mortal Kombat: Ranking All 7 Female Ninjas From Worst To Best

7. Khameleon

Debuting as a secret, palette-swapped character in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Khameleon's mimicking abilities meant that she possessed the fighting skills and powers of every female ninja (Kitana, Jade and Mileena) in the series.

Borrowing their moves and weapons meant that she was a pretty impressive fighter. During gameplay, however, her flickering in and out of invisibility made it hard for the player to even see her. What's more, Khameleon didn't possess any unique Fatalities or signature moves, not even when she returned to the Wii version of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. She gains Tanya's Yellow Surge attack but she's still invisible, save for her clothing.

At least her back-story is explored: the last survivor of the extinct Saurian race (no thanks to Shao Kahn), a vengeful Khameleon fights for the side of good and aligns herself with Reptile. Beyond that, there's nothing else.

It would have been great to see Khameleon in the franchise's current timeline, working as an assassin of sorts for Kotal Kahn or a rogue warrior fighting for her own gain. In terms of gameplay, her invisibility could be controlled à la Reptile.

Plus, her ability to imitate the other ninjas' movesets could be condensed into a single variation, thus allowing room for the folks at Netherrealm Studios to design movesets specific to her.
