Back in the early 90s, chatter began to quickly spread around the arcades between Mortal Kombat fans about the existence of green and gray ninjas, which sparked a flood of rumors, half-truths and fabrications surrounding just how many secrets were hidden in the popular fighting game.
Many players probably believed Easter eggs like Reptile and other characters appearances were planned out as neat secrets for them to discover by the development team as a whole, but apparently they were so confidential that not even one of the Mortal Kombat creators knew about most of them.
