No they don't, that's the beauty of it. Imagine a ninja, a normal ninja, who used shurikens, smoke bombs, swords, and kunai. A fighter can still be awesome without "magic" or anythig like that. Look at Batman, he doesn't have any powers, yet I think he's a better superhero (or just hero) than most.

This is my version of who I think the white ninja should be. And I DON'T believe that the Scorpion Armageddon ending is true. Only Taven's ending is canon because the prize is only supposed to go upon the victor, though due to Onaga's holy men, he was corrupted to where nothing happened at all except the MK:A konquest ending.

SKULL


REAL NAME: Hunza Hasashi

ALLIGHNMENT: Nuetral

GENDER: Male

AGE: 28

APPEARENCE: Is clad in white, sleek armor and ninja gear that is similar to the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu looks. He is hooded by a tight, black ninja hood and wears a mask that only reveals the eyes and barely anything around them. Skull is human so he has eye pupils but one eye is blind with no color and two scratches going across it due to the attack from that long while back. He also wears skulls on his shoulder pads, knee pads, and the breathing vent of his mask to show his adoptive clan's crest. Like Ermac, he doesn't reveal any of his body except part of his face as described earlier.

SPECIALS:
-Burning Skull Throw (Creates a burning skull in his hand and throws it at you)

-Burning Skull Roll (Creates a burning skull and bowls it to you to trip you)

-Lava Teleport (Creates a portal of lava on the ground and slips into it, popping up on the other side of the opponent)

-Brimstone Copy (dashes back to create a brimstone copy of himself that explodes when you touch it)

-Flaming Rock Grappler (Shoots a big, flaming rock at you that raps around your body to trap you for a free hit)

GRAB/THROW: Demon Torture (Trips them, then jumps-stomps on their chest)

FIGHTING STYLE: Shirai Kyru (Ancient style created by the Shirai Ryu)

WEAPON STYLE: Hell Staff (Staff with a flaming skull at the top)

PLACE OF ORIGIN: Earthrealm

BIO: Skull is the true son of Scorpion who too seeks revenge. His real name is known as Hunza Hazashi and he has had a terrible past during his teen years. During the events of MK:Mythologies, a final wipeout of his clan, the Shirai Ryu, had been started by Quan Chi who had made a bargain with the Lin Kuei to get rid of them. He and his mother tried to escape through a secret passage but they were caught. And while the mother was killed, he had barely escaped the rest of them alive, leaving with his face brutally beaten and blind in one eye. The cause of these injuries was due to being slashed in the face by one of the Lin Kuei attacking warriors, Smoke. He was eventually tooken in by a clan called the Shenti Diyu clan that taught the ways of using sorcery to summon hellish things like lava, brimstone, and skeletal objects. Hunza was raised by them for years while being tortured by nightmares of that attack. It has now been many years and he now wishes to take his revenge on the Lin Kuei for their brutality. He goes by the codename, Skull, and wishes to one day train warriors to reform the Shirai Ryu. Skull, notably, also has to wear a mask to conceal his fatal injuries from that attack. Meanwhile, he also seeks to kill Scorpion who he sees as an imposter to his clan, fore he thinks as himself as the last one left and that anyone who dares to mock the Shirai Ryu by wearing similar armors deserves to be killed. Scorpion, however, doesn't realize that Skull is his son and wishes to kill him for the same reasons in return. But other than Scorpion, Skull also wishes to kill Quan Chi for his leadership of the attack and Sub-Zero for being the Lin Kuei's current leader.

ALLIES: Tremor/ Frost/ Noob/ Smoke

FOES: Scorpion/ Sub-Zero/ Cyrax/ Quan Chi

And just for reference, the Shenti Diyu clan's name is what I made up, refering to the English-to-Chinese translation of "Human Body"->"Shentai" and then "Hell"->"Diyu". Basically, it means that they are humans yet stand for, and practice Hellish things. Even going as far as using sorcery to summon Hellish things like shown in the BIO: and SPECIALS: parts.

well maybe a white ninja could have air powers...
for one, he could shoot a compressed ball of air at the opponent doing some damage...another is tat he could teleport by fading into the air and materializing on the other side of the opponent...and another is that he could take the oxygen from the opponent's area, making them choke which leaves them open for a free hit...for a fatalality he could grab the opponent's throut choke him, and while they are struggling, he stuffs a ball of compressed air down his throat and blows up his lungs...or for a second fatality he could spin air around his opponent, create a tornado. When this tornado is at full size, there could be a faint shadow inside. You see the shadow getting torn apart and then while the whote ninja goes into his victory stance, blood, bones and flesh could come raining down...FATALITY!
