MK1 reimagines familiar fighters in Liu Kang's new era, but the ones I keep coming back to are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Kitana, Mileena and Johnny Cage. That top row mixes the rivalries the series is built on with the characters who bring most of the personality.

MK1's Cutest Fighter Designs
This list rewards charm and color over menace: Kitana, Mileena, Li Mei and Tanya all have striking but expressive designs, while Johnny Cage brings a more playful attitude. Omni-Man, Homelander and Ghostface are built to intimidate, so cuteness is never their point.
