And because I just love Dark Khan so much, you know how I think he should've ended? By Darkseid's and Shao Kahn's minions forming a temporary alliance and turning against Dark Khan (it would consist of Reptile, Mileena, etc. from MK, and Kalibak and what not from DC).
"You're too gay to be our master now!"
*gangs up on him when he least expects it*
And then the final enemies of Story/Arcade Mode would be Shang Tsung (with his classic morphing ability), along with good old Goro, just like the very first MK.

The 8th and 9th paragraphs support that Captain Marvel was really starting to out-sell Superman in the mid-40s.
As for the rest of them...Jesus fvcking Christ, you would think that something as innovative for the character as flight would be chronicled SOMEWHERE, but I can't find shit.
That's cuz they don't want you to know that he jacked it from CM. He did tho. It's obvious.Yeah. Conveniently AFTER the appearance of CM's bald villain the same way Supes got spinoff characters & super pets AFTER CM did.
Artist: Gosh darnit! I forgot to draw him w/hair. Was too busy thinking about how cool CM's enemy is. Oh well. Time to give Lex his classic red locks.
Editor: Leave him bald.
A: But sir, it'll only take a few moments to...
E: You said w/out hair he looks like the guy CM fights, right?
A: Yeah, but...
E:Leave it! That CM's really popular w/the kids nowadays. Supes is gonna have to be more like him to compete. If CM fights a bald guy, so shall Supes.
A:But isn't that like admitting that CM's better?
E: We all knew that from the start.
Your link says NOTHING about Supes being more popular. CM was one of many features in a title & when it was seen that he was mega popular, he got his own title (which subsequently beat the shit out of Supes in sales) Supes jumps high & then CM appears and gets REALLY popular really fast. THEN all of the sudden Supes can fly. Come on now. I doubt Supertheif was more popular in '41 because CM had his own live action series that year IIRC.(also b4 Supes got one. Starting to notice a theme here.)
That link suggests that they merely gave up because the market was dry. They'd been in court for a LOONG time & Supes people were NEVER gonna give up 'cuz litigation was the only way Supes could stand up to the clearly superior CM. & I didn't see shit about an artists mistake.
You didn't read the bit where it suggested when Captain Marvel started selling 1.5 million I think it said in mid 40s, that by then he was outselling Superman?
As for flight, the only source I can provide is wiki, unless you think it is lying about him gaining flight in 41 right?
Lex Luthor was first bald in 1940, which is the same year Captain Marvel came out, and it was due to an artist's mistake, that is the only official explanation, and the official explanation>>>Your speculations and opinion.
The courts ruled in favor of DC that Captain Marvel was a rip-off(and Jesus Christ the similarities are beyond obvious, black, formal hair-style, tights with a cape and boots, had all the same powers except CM's added flight), if anyone ripped off anyone, it was Captain Marvel who was based on Superman.
& then Supes stole flight, a bald villain, metapets & sidekick/spinoffs from CM & the fortress of solitude is also based on something from CM. Showing that when you really suck, your so called ripoffs will outshine you & you'll have to copy them to survive. 1941 means nothing because CM was already flying when Supes was still a glorified high jumper. CM started off VERY popular. He was already going gold in his 1st appeareance in 1940 & had his on live action films in 41. DC saw him flying around and the rest is history. Are you seriously trying to tell me that Supes suddenly flying when he was well known for good leaping(it's in the catch phrase) is just some random miricle? Come on. You like Supes for some odd reason, but you can still give CM credit for what's his. Flight was something Supes got because of CM. &You showed NO source for the artist mistake.
Indeed .. and look at how he's introduced. So bland that it needed a little fixing.

It's debatable. Most realms in MK don't seem that... big to me, especially when you compare something like Outworld or the Netherrealm to an entire universe. Or maybe they just lack depth. I dunno.
1. Realms=/=Universe. They are NOT close enough. Realms in MK are more like planets at best, a universe is composed of a countless amount of planets, stars, solar systems, and galaxies.
Way to use strawman attacks. I already said that those realms are possibly much bigger than we think. In addition, you're forgetting there are numerous realms being merged too.
