Scorpion from "Mortal Combat" (photo). "Mortal Kombat": Scorpio vs. Sab-Zero

In the "Mortal Kombat" universe, there are some key characters that appeared in all computer games that are published. And one of the most popular among them is Scorpio, a mysterious ninja who perfectly knows the katana and can release a metal snake from his hand. He is a sworn opponent of another ninja named Sab-Zero, and a lot of attention in games and side projects is paid to their opposition. Now you will learn more about who the Scorpion is from Mortal Kombat.

"Mortal Kombat"

In the very first game, Scorpio from "Mortal Kombat" appeared before gamers as a regular ninja, which protects the honor of his clan. His story boiled down to his confrontation with the Sab-Zero - between them established not just mistrust and dislike, but the natural hatred that is inherent in the members of the two warring clans. As a result, Scorpio was killed by his opponent, but then he was brought back to life so that he could take revenge in the Mortal Battle. Scorpio won the tournament, defeating his sworn enemy, but at the same time he remained a ghost himself, not having the opportunity to return to his wife and children. This is the original story of such a character as Scorpio from Mortal Kombat, but this is only the first part, followed by a sequel.

"Mortal Kombat 2"

After winning the tournament, Scorpio from Mortal Kombat returned to Pit, where he lived until he learned that Sab-Zero had somehow returned and was taking part in the Overseas World Tournament. Scorpio goes there to again defeat his sworn enemy. However, when he has to fight Sab-Zero, he realizes that this is not the same ninja, who killed him extremely cold-bloodedly. This is his younger brother, whom Scorpio decides not to kill. Instead, he defeats all opponents from the Outworld, including Shao Kahn. And then becomes a kind of bodyguard for the younger brother of Sab-Zero, helps him prepare for the next tournament. Now you see what the Scorpion character is capable of. "Mortal Kombat" without him would hardly have been the same.

"Mortal Combat 3"

The final part of the trilogy, which is a kind of alternative to the second part, represents Scorpio's gamers as the same spirit wandering around the Yamam in Hell. Shao Kahn, at the same time, tries to capture the Outward World, as a result of which Scorpio himself is free. "Mortal Kombat" represents two universes, the Earth and the Outside World. Scorpio can now move around the ground without hindrance. He goes to the service of Shao Kan as a special warrior, who will have to destroy all the elect from the Earth. Scorpio copes with his task to "excellent", until he realizes that one of the elected - the brother of Sab-Zero, whom he swore to protect. Therefore, Scorpio betrays Shao Kahn and kills him, returning to Hell. And the land is in complete peace and security. This ends the series, and, as you know, the photo of Scorpio from Mortal Kombat in the future will differ from the way he looked in the original trilogy.

"Mortal Combat 4"

The fourth part of the game is the restart of the universe, so Scorpio appears as the most recently deceased ninja, who was returned to life by Quan Chi to serve him. Scorpio agrees, but pursues his motives - he wants to kill Sab-Zero. Naturally, the photo of Scorpio from Mortal Kombat 4 is very different from the ones you saw in the first part, but the essence of this character remains the same. When Scorpio defeats sufficiently disagreeable Quan Chi opponents, he meets with Sab-Zero, who also overcomes. But then he learns that in fact he was killed not by Sab-Zero, but by Quan Chi, who again tries to send him to Hell. But Scorpio takes it with him, dooming not to great power, but to eternal suffering. Now you know that in "Mortal Combat" Scorpio against Sab-Zero is a duel that goes from episode to episode, periodically changing its appearance and ending.

"Mortal Combat: Deadly Alliance"

This episode is special for the series "Mortal Combat" - Scorpio against Sab-Zero has nothing here at all. The fact is that the story continues from the moment that ended last time. Scorpio and Quan Chi are in Hell, where the magician's powers do not work, and our hero is getting stronger and begins to hunt his killer. However, Quan Chi still manages to open a portal to the Outside World, taking with him two terrible creatures They, who became his bodyguards. Scorpio followed Quan Chi and continued the hunt that led him to Shan Tsung's palace. There Scorpio collided with They, who were specially prepared for this meeting. In the Outer World, the strengths of our hero were not so great, while They were much stronger. As a result, the ninja lost, but the monsters could not eat it, because he was still a ghost. However, another way was found - the defeated Scorpio was taken to the portal to heaven, which Shang Tsung used to reinforce souls, and threw him where he was torn to the smallest particles, since his body was created in Hell.

"Mortal Kombat: Cheating"

In fact, Scorpio's body was not torn to pieces, as he miraculously managed to move into the Void where the Elder Gods dwell. He watched secretly as Reiden died and the Dragon King returned, planning to combine the two kingdoms together, destroying the inhabitants of both. Finally, the Gods felt the presence of Scorpio and decided to make him their weapon in the fight against the Dragon. It was impossible to say that Scorpio was against. "Mortal Kombat: Deception" is an episode in which the reborn hero pursues the Onago King of Dragons with new incredible powers and in the end defeats him, saving both kingdoms from imminent death.

"Mortal Kombat: Armageddon"

In this part of the game, Scorpio continues to play the role of the weapon of the gods, but this time his opponent is Blaise, a huge elemental who guarded the dragon eggs under a psychic influence. Now he is free and wants to conquer the world with the help of these same dragons. You also have to defeat all the participants of the Mortal Battle and in the final battle with Blaise himself. When the enemy is defeated at the top of the pyramid, the most secret desire of Scorpio will be fulfilled. In the end, in front of the hero appeared his whole clan, including his wife and children. However, the reunion did not last long - Quan Chi suddenly appeared and stole the youngest son of Scorpio. The enraged hero ordered the whole clan to hunt a sorcerer to save his child.

"Mortal Kombat 2011"

In 2011, there was a restart of the universe, so gamers saw absolutely everything in an updated form - even the Scorpion mask from Mortal Kombat changed. The plot remains the same - Hanzo Khazashi (real name Scorpio) was killed by Sab-Zero (along with all his clan), brought back to life in the form of a vindictive spirit, he joined the ranks of the Death Battles to take revenge. But after the murder of Sab-Zero, he learned that his real enemy is Shang Tsung, whom he also defeated in the final battle of the tournament. However, this also did not bring him salvation. In a terrible state of mind, Scorpio saw the ghosts of clan members who told him that his real enemies were not Sab-Ziro and Shang Tsung, but Quan Chi. Scorpio returned to Hell with the spirits of his family, who immobilized the magician. After that, Scorpio was able to kill him without hindrance.
