The undead, yellow-clad Shirai Ryu ninja was always a fan favorite. With his Spear (GET OVER HERE!) and the Toasty Fatality, Scorpion is still one badass mofo, even to this very day.

LMFAO.

Wait 'till SBP and Blaxican come in here and criticize you for not including a page length bio and a vid of the character.

Bio



Like Subzero, Scorpion's true name and origin are not known. It is
believed that he is a fallen ninja granted the opprotunity to avenge
his death at the hands of the Lin Kuei. He has been given a new body
and a uniform which mocks the Lin Kuei's with its cowardly yellow color.



The Hell-spawned specter rises from the pit. After learning of
Subzero's return, he again stalks the ninja assassin, following him into the dark realm of the Outworld where he continues his own unholy mission.



When Shao Kahn makes a failed attempt at stealing the souls which
occupy Earth's hell, Scorpion is able to make his escape. Now free to
roam the Earth once more, Scorpion holds no allegiance to no one. He's a wild card in the Earth's struggle against the Outworld.



In hopes of gaining Scorpion as a new ally in the war with the Elder Gods, Quan Chi makes the dead Ninja an offer he cannot refuse - Life, in exchange for his services as a warrior against the Elders. Scorpion accepts, but hides under ulterior motives.



The ninja spectre Scorpion had assumed for many years that Subzero had killed his family and clan only to later discover that the true murderer was the sorcerer Quan Chi. After revealing his treachery, Quan Chi then attempted to send Scorpion to the 5th plane of the Netherealm. Thinking quickly, Scorpion grappled the sorcerer at the last moment and they were both transported to that forbidden realm. Scorpion hunted Quan Chi relentlessly throughout the Netherrealm. Eventually, though, Quan Chi discovered a way back to Outworld through a strange Portal. Scorpion followed Quan Chi through the Portal, but emerged in a different location far from his prey. He can still sense Quan Chi's presence and will hunt him down whatever the cost.



In my haste to confront my nemesis, Quan Chi, I was ambushed by two oni and cast into a powerful soulnado. I would surely have been torn apart by the souls trapped there had I not managed to escape into the Void. It was there that I first set eyes on the fabled Elder Gods. I would be forever changed by this encounter.

While in the Void, I witnessed, along with the Elder Gods, the death of
Raiden and the re-emergence of the Dragon King. Suddenly aware of my presence, the Elder Gods transformed me into their servent and gave me a new purpose: to prevent the Dragon King from merging the realms.

Scorpion fights and defeats Sub-Zero 2 in MK4's ending. Quanchi manipulated Scorpz into thinking Sub2 was responsible for the murder of his clan and family. Sadly for Quanchi he reveals the truth and the hellish spectre did not like it. He took Quanchi to the netherrealm with him devil

Scorpion is inadvertently released from his damnation in hell when The Emperor's Plan to overtake that realm goes awry. Free to roam Earth, Scorpion is enlisted by the Emperor to aid him in his quest to destroy the chosen warriors.

But, his allegiance to Shao Kahn falters when he discovers one of the chosen warriors to be Sub-Zero. Scorpion has vowed to protect the former ninja as restitution for killing his brother.

Shao Kahn finds himself the victim of his own scheme as Scorpion is forced to turn against him, he destroys the Emperor and the Earth is returned to normal.

Scorpion finds himself once again roaming the pits of Hell, only to one day rise again.

So can Shujinko shifty, and canon-wise, it was actually him who defeated the Dragon King in Deception, not Scorpion. Don't believe me? Read Onaga's bio in his respect thread. 31

I don't think Shujinko killed Onaga. In Armaggedon, Scorpion's Clan was revived as spectres due to Scorpion doing a job for the Elder Gods. The only job I know of is Defeating Onaga. Of course maybe Scorpion just aided Shujinko.

If you're referring to Raiden's Deception ending, I don't think that actually happened and was just one of those "what if?" endings. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen Shujinko appear in Armageddon.

Furion
1. Cause Shujinko's a move stealer. If he didn't have any of those stolen moves, Scorpion would Toast that dude.

Forgive me for saying this, but it's because he was dumb enough to follow Quan Chi, who claimed that Subzero II offed his family. And as for Scorpion's ending, Subzero II got the crap beaten out of him. He wasn't killed.

Quan Chi appears and ran his big mouth about what had really happened, which got him a one-way trip to the Netherrealm, where be basically becomes Scorpion's punching bag until Deadly Alliance.

Furion
Quan Chi wasn't his punching bag, Scorp chased Quan all over the netherrealm. If Scorpion EVER caught Quanchi=Goriest Fatality x 10

Actually, Shujinko didn't have any special moves (unless you count the throw) when he fights Scorpion in Deception's Konquest mode, because you have to unlock Shujinko's other specials in the Krypt AFTER defeating Scorpion at the end stick out tongue (in a 3-round match).

Nice try though.

Originally posted by Furion
2.Boy that was Onaga's big mistake.
Not really. Onaga did what he had to escape from his prison, by manipulating someone into gathering all the Kamidogu in the Nexus for him. Giving Shujinko the ability to absorb the combat essence of any fighter he encounters was but a small price to pay, as Onaga still survived his assault (hence why he came back in Armageddon).

Oh. He wasn't? Guess I was mistaken then. It sure looked like Subzero got killed though erm (in Scorpion's MK4 ending), but if he didn't die, I guess he just passed out after talking some.

Yeah...

Or yet, they should make a game specifically for Scorpion, like they did for Subzero (a.k.a. MK Mythologies, except Scorpion's game would be more enjoyable and stuff).

After all, he is Ed Boon's favorite character, so I could see that kind of game happening if he wanted it to.

Edit: On a side note, I hope they don't end up making making a female version of Scorpion like they did for Subzero (Frost). That would be kinda weird, not to mention it would take away from Scorpion's uniqueness.

Err... Tanya's not a female version of Scorpion, because she doesn't have that spear move (or a slightly altered version of it), and she's not an undead spectre either.

Subzero and Frost on the other hand are both Lin Kuei and both have the ability to freeze in some way, which was why I said Frost was a female version of him, and I'm glad Scorpion doesn't have a female counterpart. stick out tongue Not to sound sexist or anything, but like I said, a female version of Scorpion would kinda take away from his uniqueness.
In the games, I mean. There is a female version of Scorpion in the MK TV series...

Continuing from this ending, he does indeed protect the newer Sub-zero... from Reptile's deadly grasp.

Just like Scorpion, Midway must have gotten hit in the head by Joker's boxing glove.

I don't see what's wrong with that ending. Besides, Scorpion looks even more badass in that ending.

But he'll lose that badassness and turn gay automatically once he transforms into Dark Khan.

Also, yeah. Nice pic No End.

Who cares. His power is over 9000! now.
Besides, Scorpion badassness trumps gay rage, he'll never succumb to the likes of Dark Khan.

God, I hope they don't retcon Scorpion killing off Elder Sub-Zero...though it would be nice to have Elder Sub-Zero alive.

Looks very interesting. I hope Scorps Ghost Rider-esq costume returns.

Ridley_Prime
Don't know how the elder Subzero's fate will turn out this time, but I still predict the younger Sub will become a cyborg like Smoke, Sector, and Cyrax.

Ridley_Prime
I need to get me one of these someday. mmm

scorpion is cool but he always gets his ass kicked, killed by elder sub zero, defeated by elder sub zero even when he became spector, defeated by moloch and drahmin in deadly alliance, defeated by quan chi once they were in the outworld and quan chi got his powers back, defeated by sub zero in armageddon intro, defeated by batman, liu kang, sub zero,lex luthor.... and the only time he beat someone is younger sub zero in mortal kombat 4 thats sad

Non-canon, though if we were to include MKvsDC, Scorpion beat the Joker, Kitana, Wonder Woman, Superman, and managed to defeat the Flash before he himself fell in the final battle.

And got his revenge against elder Sub-zero in Mortal Kombat 1, defeated plenty of Onaga's Tarkattan hordes, etc., etc..

sub zero overpowered him in that fight at the end

ok lets say marvel vs DC is non canon because of the power shifting BUT he was defeated by liu kang and sub zero before the power shifting began so techniquely the only thing that is canon is scorpion being defeated by sub zero and liu kang

he didnt defeat onagas trkans it was part of his ending where he also defeated onaga its just a what if ending and even if we include that what if ending he was impowered by the elder gods to defeat onaga so it wasnt oredenery scorpion

wow so he beat elder sub zero at the end and defeated younger sub zero in mortal kombat 4 thats it? he got his ass kicked o many times its not even funny

Bro SMASH
The power shifting started after Shao Kahn and Darkseid merged.

As someone pointed out, the power shifting started right when Dark Khan was born. Anything having to do with Mortal Kombat vs DC in general though is non-canon. Not that Scorpion needed a power shift to deal with Kitana and Joker anyway. Superman of course was weakened by the universes merging for most of the story and thus was more vulnerable to people's magic (Scorpion's nether power, Sub-zero's freezing, Shang Tsung's sorcery, etc). But again, non-canon crossover is non-canon.

While the part with him defeating Onaga wasn't canon, the part with him doing away with the Tarkattan hordes was. Hence why Shujinko didn't have to deal with them and was able to go straight for Onaga.

So? A lot of characters in the series receive power enhancements of some kind, whether it be Sub-zero's powers being amplified by the Liu-Kuei dragon medallion, the bad guys becoming immortal or near immortal when they have the sacred amulet, etc. And even after Scorpion was no longer supported by the Elder Gods, he still had other formidable never-been-seen powers when he first confronted Taven (summon giant flaming skulls, make big boulders fall from the sky, etc).

*shrug* The Moloch and Drahmin encounter wasn't a fair fight anyway since it was 2 on 1. But yeah, Scorpion does seem to often get the short end of the stick, despite being one of the most likable characters in the series, and Ed Boon's personal favorite.

Haha, yeah. And I guess Scorpion will be able to dual-wield some in the game (akin to how Quan Chi does with the broadswords) based on that image. Awesome.

Also, pretty cool wallpapers of the new game's character designs found on the kamidogu site, with Scorpion's on the top right.

watch the mortal kombat armageddon intro and see for yourself dont avoid the facts scorpion got owned by sub zero in that sword fight


when ever power shifting was involed it was impyed to us by showing there eyes glowing which told us they werent themselves, but before all that merging and shifting before all that happens scorpion was defeated by liu kang and sub zero unless you can prove to me that the power shifting began right after kahn and darkseid merged which is just your speculation since it never was implyed that way, it was implyed that all that power shifting began after they started to switch universes and glowing eyes which happened after scorpion got his ass kicked

what was told us is that the MKvsDC storyline isnt canon but not the fights because you see that storyline puts us in a what if situation but what it brings to the table is what would happen IF that particular story happened which means how those fighters WOULD fight if that particular situation occurred so while the storyline isnt canon the fights should be canon until the power shifting began

as i said again scorpion defeating tarkan troops is just part of his ending which is just a what if just like every other ending or would you like to believe that every single ending happened and more than 40 characters defeated onaga ?

you are just speculating and bring baseless things you make up just to suit your so called argument which is based on nothing, scorpions ending isnt canon you cant say that part of it canon because if you say him beating up tarkan hords is canon you also admit him destroying onaga is canon which is bullshit

scorpion got a real power boost from the gods thats not scorpion and he doesnt have that power anymore so thats like saying thanos with the heart of the universe and then pretend its the ordenery thanos which is bullshit

thaks for reminding me that scorpion also got his ass kicked by taven smile

the moloch and drahmin encouter just proves once again scorpion cant handle some nobodies and yet again shows us he gets his ass kicked but comes back

yep scorpion does get his ass kicked all the time so seriously him being the coolest character like most people think is unreal

The power shifting beginning right after Darkseid and Kahn's merge isn't speculation, it's fact... How else does Superman become so much weaker when he returns to the fortress of solitude right after blasting Darkseid through that boom tube?

That makes no sense. MKvsDC's storyline is non-canon. The fights are part of the storyline. Thus, the fights should not be considered canon either. A "what if" situation is usually one of the first things that signifies that something's non-canon too, so yeah.

It is possible for part of an ending to be canon and for another part of it to not be. In Quan Chi's MK4 ending for example, it's canon/true that he made an exact duplicate of the real amount, which he gave to Shinnok while keeping the real one for himself. But the part with Quan killing Shinnok with a blast from the amulet is not canon. If you still think I'm bullshitting when I speak for Scorpion defeating those Tarkattan hordes, then I'll gladly name other examples.

Good thing he's immune to death then. Find it funny though how you give excuses for Liu when he died in a 2 on 1 encounter, but when Raiden and Scorpion lost in a 2 on 1, you do the opposite, or completely bash them in their own respect threads, so to speak.

And I don't think most people find Scorpion to be cool or one of the coolest based on how much he wins or loses, but rather, based on how he's the title's foremost anti-hero; his demeanor, characteristics, persona, and self-reliance all contribute to his popularity, with Scorpion being the most human in nature and choice when compared to the typical good guys and bad guys of the series.

at 1:00 exactly you can see sub zero overpower scorpion and takes him down with that sword strike

again this is your speculation about the power shifting and nothing more because the merge of shao kahn and darkseid is the cause to all of this but it was never stated or implyed that right after there merge it happened so again you speculate some more bullshit , it was implyed that the power shifting began right after they started to switch words and when they started to have glowing eyes thats what was implyed because other than than we have nothing to go by so again you fail

the storyline of MKvsDC isnt canon how ever it shows us how the fighters would have fought in that particular situation if that did happen so i would say the fights are canon and i got logic behind me unlike you

again you are making things out of your ass, it was stated in the storyline itself that quan chi tricked shinnok therefor it is half canon BUT it was never stated or implyed that scorpion actually defeat those tarkans for all we know it was only stated in his ending which is again not canon and never happened so therefor its not canon and once again i got some base to back me up while all you got is nothing but strawman things you make up

liu kang beating the hell out of shang tsung and being secretly attacked from behind by quan chi is a good enough showing which shows us that even combined they were afraid to fight him 2 on 1 and losing to the deadly alliance isnt that bad however losing to some nobodies like drahmin and moloch thats sad indeed again you fail

Drahmin and Moloch are a couple of the strongest Oni demons in the Netherrealm, the latter of whom has three moves that can heal himself. Why do you think Quan Chi used them as bodyguards against Scorpion? Even 'nobodies' can be overwhelming when they've got strength in numbers. It was said too that Scorpion fought well against the two Oni before being thrown into the soulnado by them, which leads me to believe that he could take either of them if it were 1 on 1, especially since Scorpion grows stronger just by simply being in the Netherrealm.

you bring superman to prove what? the only thing it proves is that there was a power shifting which i never denyed however the question here is WHEN the power shifting started and as i said before you dont have any proof that it began right after the merge of shao kahn and darkseid so you fail big time

its because you clearly cant understand the context of my statement as i said already the storyline itself isnt canon BUT it portray us what would happen in that situation which is how would they fight genious

you fail again since it was stated that the elder gods empowered scorpion to defeat onaga it was never stated as a fact that he beat the tarkan warriors, just because they gave him powers to do something doesnt mean he actually did it so again you fail big time as always

again specilations and nothing more than speculations , taking away all the things you pull out of your ass the facts are scorpion got owned by 2 onis that never proved themselves and they both were defeated by cyrex i guess you didnt know that did you? cyrex encouter the 2 onis and defeats them both so that tells us that the onis are lame and scorpion is even lamer now get lost

how is scorpion bad ass when he got defeated by 2 onis that got owned by cyrex? shows you just where scorpion stands as far as power

Yet Scorpion beat both Cyrax and Sektor at the same time when he fought them in MK9, so your point is moot.

Well this is right from a timeline perspective at least.
MK9 when he fought cyrax and sektor is around MK1 but when he loses to the two onis that was Deadly alliance.
I guess Cyrax got stronger or Scorpion got weaker.

Bro SMASH
Cyrax likely got stronger. He wasn't even a cyborg yet during the MK1 tournament in MK9.

he beat them while they were humans and didnt have the cyborg upgrades, the onis were defeated by the cyborg cyrax
