Turns out, he's not the only Wind God in MK.

Interesting! These variations from Sun, to Aqua to Blood God seem to make him a character who's backstory could be tied to more than one in the MK Universe! But i wouldn't jump to conclusion too fast concerning that Wind God named there. It is a little early for Wiki's to be written with characters that fresh after all. And the amount of edit needed might still be huge.

Fully agree. The article only says that Kotal's headgear resembles the one of the Aztec God of the Wind. And no wind-related moves were demonstrated by him.
This picture is, of course, just a joke.

After reading this article, I have 2 thoughts about who could be Kotal Kahn.

1) His last name - Kahn.

Kotal Kahn could be Wind God, Fujin and Emperor, Shao Kahn transformed into one powerful being - Kahn the Wind God, new Wind God.

2) About combat variations.

Kotal Kahn could have elemental powers of any God. He is a God (maybe fallen like Shinnok), or powerful being who kills the Gods (Gods Killer ), an he takes their powers similarly like Shang Tsung takes the souls of his victims.

"Kahn" can also be some kind of title.

This is quite arguable. He doesn't have any wind-related powers.

IMHO: His design could be inspired by the Aztec Wind God but there's no evidence (yet) of him really being a Wind God.
