The head smashing fatality from MK2 was always a fave. Here's a bad quality vid of Jax shooting somebodyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88XbAaV2svo

Well I know I'll be using Jax of course. He's an old-time fav. Other than that, I think I'll be using Scorpion, Batman, some of the Joker (especially if Heath Ledger's Joker ends up being an unlockable skin , which has been considered by Midway), Deathstroke, and Darkseid (I hear that he sucks in this game though, so I may not use him much. Depends).

Heh. That was kinda my first impression when I first saw him in MK Annihilation (he was pretty much the only thing I liked about the movie).

Spamming his machine gun move was always fun. Now if only they could've had that move of his in the older games..

Did you ever try being Jax in the later Halloweens?

Like you said: it's good that this game isn't canon.

That goes for me, too. Jax was the only reason why I watch that movie.

I'm still somewhat disappointed that Cage was killed off within the first 10 minutes of the movie.

Same here. Linden Ashby refused to return as Cage in Annihilation because he didn't like the idea of his character getting killed off like that, so they hired some other guy to do it.

Jax has pretty good senses. He stops Smoke (in his human/original form, which is rarely seen) and Jade from killing him in his sleep (after getting beaten up by Goro and sent to a hospital). This is before he gets his metal arms.

I don't blame him for doing that, but he could've gotten some extra money for doing a short role.

That's a pretty cool scan. Besides his strength, did Jax's bionic arms increase his other attributes?

Yeah..

As for your question, I'm not sure really. It is odd though how Jax gets rid of his metal arms in Annihilation, yet he keeps wearing them in the games (granted, the movie is non-canon, but it still made sense for him to get rid of 'em).

I was wondering about that, too. I was wondering why he took them off since the only game in which he doesn't have the bionic arms is MK2.

Then again, I remember him not having the bionic arms in one of the 3D MK games. I forgot which one, though.

I think it was Deadly Alliance/Armageddon that he didn't have them, but only as an alt costume. erm

Yeah, it was an alternate outfit.

The outfit was yellow and sleeveless, but I can't find a picture of it.

Indeed. big grin Didn't think Sub-zero would be such a wuss in the comics though erm, but I still like the way Jax beat him there. haha

Same here I guess. I saw that there were also MK Deception comics that never got released (they're still for sell online though), but haven't seen scans of them anywhere, unsurprisingly. It's too bad. I would've liked to see scan-related feats of Shujinko and Onaga, whether they be canon or not.

Bitter irony. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Jax has a habit of ripping off other people's arms, so Ermac one-ups the major and uses his mind to destroy Jax's

At least [SPOILER - highlight to read]: he gets new ones.

I liked that in MK 2011 we actually discovered why Jax got bionic arms (and why he NEED them).

In the original timeline, IIRC those arms were a sorta of "exoskeleton" that Jax used intentionally (like in the AWFUL MK Annihilation move). And since (MK2 canon comic) Jax is said to be the "strongest man on Earth", that made him quite a wuss: Liu Kang, Sonya, Cage, etc were able to fight bare handed and Jax needed arm implants to keep up with them, even if he's bigger and physically stronger.
