Thunder
Much like Riptor, this Native American warrior missed the invite to the second Killer Instinct tournament, left instead to sulk and do whatever it was people did in the mid-90s. Possible options include dancing the Macarena or wearing a flannel shirt and Doc Martens.
He was rebranded in the reboot to more closely resemble an authentic Native American, and it is for these efforts and more that he gets the nod to keep the legend going strong. He also took on a more grapple-based offense in KI3, giving him a unique play style that punished foes who lumbered into his range. All he was missing was a finisher based on an overzealous cuddle that ends in tears. Don’t worry, we’ll consider adding that to The Final Kerfuffle. We’re crowd pleasers, after all.
