In french it has a chameleon-based name and it does display invisibility powers so who knows, really.

But how much did his sunglasses cost?

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Evidently they are replaceable since one of his new moves uses them as a projectile.

if there's any deep backstory to mortal kombat outside of "we wanted to make a 90'S XTREEM street fighter that 8 year olds would talk about how COOL it was on elementary school playgrounds" i refuse to acknowledge it

I think it's because he knows Kung Fu and that means having superpowers in the MK world.

You know what, that's totally fair. I just don't remember him having lasers in the early MK games so I don't know how recent a development that is.

In fairness while he's always had the shadowballs/lasers if you last played the early MKs as a kid like me we had no idea what any of the specials were and also sucked at actually doing them so it's possible to have never seen it

Have they ever done a different type of trinity for pokemon starters? Like ummm ice/ground/electric... is that right?

No, electric and ice are irrelevant toward each other. The alternate trinity which is suggested most often is Ice/Ground/Steel. That’s a bad idea though.
