What do you mean by actually born? He is born as seen in Ken's SSFIV ending.

And Mel is, by the current SF timeline, only three years old. So unless the next main SF game takes place several years after the SFIII games (like say for example, maybe 13 years where he would be 16 I think), I doubt he will be playable anytime soon.
