Mortal kombat scorpion origin
•
While Scorpion is the face of Mortal Kombat, it’s always been a curious choice. Street Fighterhas Ryu, King of Fighters has Kyo, and Guilty Gear has Sol Badguy. They’re not only the central characters of their respective series, but they’re also the heroes (although things get a little gray in terms of Kyo post-KOF98). Scorpion is more like Mitsurugi from SoulCalibur, who happens to be on most of the box covers despite being little more than a supporting character.
Not that Scorpion isn’t one of the best characters on the roster and isn’t a total badass, but he’s neither the main hero nor the main villain. He’s just the wildcard, smoldering in hellfire on the sidelines while reality hangs in the balance. He’s like if Marvel decided to make Venom its mascot. Popular character with a great design, but he’s not the guy you see leading everyone into battle against Galactus.
Normally when I do these character retrospectives, I like to combine the in-game stuff with the tie-in stuff and talk about it in chronological order. This time, I’m going to talk about Scorpion strictly in the games and then go to his media appearances afterward because, while I find them both interesting, they’re for two very different stories.

Biographies
- Mortal Kombat:"Like Sub-Zero, Scorpion's true name and origin are not known. He has shown from time to time distrust and hatred towards Sub-Zero. Between Ninjas, this is usually a sign of opposing clans."

- Mortal Kombat 4:"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 accept
