      It is implied in MKX and 11 that specters and revenants are basically the same, or at least that a spectre is a type of revenant.
      According to Bi Han, though, there seems to be a distinction between revenants and wraiths.

    Shao Kahn’s laugh in the original is amazing!
    His scenario and music in MK2 are just perfect, you know how powerful he is just by looking for the people rooting for him and the music is fantastic and overpowering like Shao Khan himself and Kintaro!

      Reason why this happned mainly is Arcades. The Main Boss was meant to eat up Quarters so he was cheap and very powerful. Now that we favor game story and arcades are thing of the past no need to make him Cheap and powerful.

    0:29 0:58 The original wordless laugh was hands down the best. It was just something about it that dropped your heart into you stomach... Like you sucked so bad he did not even have to bother telling you. A real: "You knew what this was...." moment. I think it also hit me so hard because you finally got to see who was announcing these bloodbaths, and he was ANYTHING but just a mouthpiece....
