Originally, Armageddon was billed as featuring every single fighter from the six main installments of the franchise thus far. Later, developers went on to add characters that were exclusive to the renditions of such titles (for example, Chameleon from Mortal Kombat Trilogy) to the final roster.
The Armageddon roster contains 62 fighters (other than those that can be created by the player in Kreate a Fighter mode), the most of any Mortal Kombat game to date.
A render of the Armageddon character roster (without Taven and Daegon) Armageddon does not include every single fighter that has appeared in the franchise. Some characters that have appeared in the adventure titles - Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, and Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks - are not in Armageddon. Also absent from the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions is Khameleon, a secret character who appeared in the Nintendo 64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy. As a result, Khameleon is the only character from the actual fighting games of the series that does not make an appearance in the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of Armageddon, although she is in the Wii version. Only two characters, Daegon and Taven, are new to the series.
It should also be noted that not all the characters have alternate costumes. Some of the "boss" characters, such as Onaga, Moloch, and Blaze do not have alternate costumes, while some of the special characters, such as Chameleon, Meat, Mokap, and Daegon, are limited to one costume as well.
