Noob is derived from newbie. Newbie meaning a person who is new to a profession. Noob is now the derogatory slang for "newbie" and is used to demoralize someone. As to who created it I do not know.

"Noob" doesn't originate from video games players.

Don't hate, it's too big a burden to bear.

The term "noob" actually originates out of underground Mortal Kombat gambling rings from back in the early 90s. Noob Saibot was a character in the game. He was woefully underpowered but had a really awesome design, so new players always picked him. Thus bad players were called "noobs" because they sucked as bad as Noob Saibot. This became generalized and spread to other fighting games, and eventually got online and into other genres with the introduction of StarCraft.

And then came the newest MK game and he's fine. TPSmashTPSmashTPSmashTPSmashTPSmash and.... flawless victory!
