Mortal Kombat 1 made Reptile human again, so, of course, fans are hot for the transforming ninja lizard man (I'm counting myself among 'fans', for the record).
It's not just his human guise's sly grin that has fans hot and bothered, but the toothy snarl of his cold-blooded lizard form. Yeah, fans aren't just horny for a hot dude--that'd be boring. Fans are horny for a hot dude that can also turn into a walking talking lizard, like thirsting over Curt Connors in The Amazing Spider-Man.

"Reptile's hot in both forms," io9 writer and game developer Justin Carter tweeted. "I love that part of NetherRealm's solution to its many ninjas is to give them arm tats to make clear who is which".
He's not alone either, as YouTuber LOSTy tweeted, "I never saw the day coming that I would say Reptile looks HOT". Unfurl the comments and what do you know? A whole chain of people at full mast for a cute scalie dude.
"No because why do I want him so bad... the way he's gonna be one of my mains just because he's hot and I'm gonna accept it," Rod replied.
"He's hot," Nanawatzin said. "Like damn NRS, I hope he won't stay single for long."
"He is hot!!!!" Mallie said. "Like damn!!" There are of course a bunch of quote retweets simply saying "would". Classy.
Illustrator Mila chimed in with their own post, "I just woke up to Reptile confirmed to be a thirst strap sjsjsjsjs WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST FOR YOUR NEW PATH HONEY".
Ashy tweeted, "HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL IN HIS HUMAN FORM AND SO INCREDIBLE AS A REPTILE OMG I'M SO IN LOVE WITH HIM".
Maybe this is why Ed Boon and NetherRealm held off on showing Reptile, terrified of the raw potential of unleashing one of the hottest ninjas into the fandom. Forget Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Smoke. I'm sure there are some who found his Argonian look sexy, this is the internet after all, but MK1 is another level entirely.
"Wh-... Why would they do this..." Laura tweeted. "The face card is actually insane, he's so sexy??? REPTILE??? I need him in a way that's concerning to humanity."

Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive unveiled what many believed would be a remaster/remake of Red Dead Redemption earlier today, although it appears early rumors may have hyped things up a lot more than it needed to be. Instead, it was revealed that the original Red Dead Redemption is simply being ported to both PS4 and Nintendo Switch for the first time, as the PS4 isn't backwards compatible with PS3 titles and the game has never released on a Nintendo console prior.
