Scorpion can imbue his fists or weapons, especially bladed, with hellfire for added damage, use it to teleport around the battlefield, usually behind his opponent, and even conjure small portals into the Netherrealm to summon a demonic familiar to snatch his opponent. His nature as an undead wraith affords him greater durability than he possessed in life, and his control over hellfire enhances his lethal prowess. As an assassin, Scorpion is well versed in the art of combat, able to fight just as well with his hands as he can with a twin set of swords he wields on his back. After being reborn as an undead, he replaces the rope with a chain and can imbue the blade with hellfire.

Before his unlife, he was a skilled assassin and ninja who had mastered the rope dart, a dagger attached to a rope that he would throw to impale his adversary before yanking them back over. Scorpion is an undead wraith spawned from the Netherrealm, imbued with the very fires of the realm to call and command at his will. Scorpion came out as the victor and took control of the demon king's army, using it to conquer the Earth. In his ending, Trigon accuses Scorpion of leaving his army (unaware that Hanzo is NOT from the DC Universe), and both had a massive duel in hell. Most notably, in the Mortal Kombat X Comic, it's shown he took in victims and survivors of the Netherrealm War into his iteration of the Shirai Ryu to now protect Earthrealm while also raising Takeda Takahashi.īefore the ninja of vengeance could finish his cold rival, he is transported into another world, a very new place that he is unaware of. In the second timeline, Scorpion truly intended to spare the first Sub-Zero in exchange for the resurrection of his clan, but Quan Chi prevented this. In the original timeline, when he discovers the Sub-Zero in the second tournament isn't Bi-Han and, in fact, his more merciful brother, Scorpion vows to protect Kuai Liang instead of killing his kin. Scorpion has also (indirectly) assisted the game's protagonists to fulfill these motives.Īlthough Scorpion is often strict and wrathful, at times, he shows a caring side and is very honorable. He joins the forces of evil when promised a means of resurrecting his clan on Earth or the chance to inflict his wrath against those who butchered them. Despite his malevolent appearance, he is not inherently evil. Scorpion was resurrected by necromancer Quan-Chi, and as a result, he is now a hell-spawned revenant, inexorably seeking vengeance against those responsible for the destruction of his clan and the death of his own family. Hanzo himself was killed by Sub-Zero, the Lin Kuei’s leader. At some point, his clan was exterminated by their rival clan, the Lin Kuei. During his tenure in the clan, he was given the nickname “Scorpion”, for his blindingly fast and deadly fighting skill. However, Hanzo joined despite his father's wishes to provide his wife and son with a comfortable life. His father, a former member of the Shirai Ryu, forbade his son from joining the clan, as he did not wish for his son to live the life of an assassin. Hanzo Hasashi originally came from Osaka, Japan, in the Earthrealm. Before he could finish Sub-Zero, he was transported to another world. He was resurrected and given a chance for vengeance in the Mortal Kombat tournament.

Scorpion was killed by the Lin-Kuei assassin Sub-Zero.
