Scorpion
 |
| Get over here! |
Hanzo Hasashi was once a member of the Japanese Shirai Ryu ninja clan. Given the name Scorpion for his blindingly fast and deadly fighting skill, his life was blessed with glorious kombat in the name of his Grand Master.
But when he, his family and his clan were brutally exterminated by Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei, Scorpion's existence became eternal torment. Resurrected by the malevolent necromancer Quan Chi, he entered the Mortal Kombat tournament to slay Sub-Zero and avenge the murders of his kin.
Scorpion is basically the baddest dude in all the fighting games. The guy was killed by Sub-Zero and his clan the Lin Kuei, only to come back in the Mortal Kombat tournament to wreck Sub-Zero's shit. When the second tournament rolls around, he finds out that Sub-Zero is competing. This doesn't make sense, cuz he killed the poor bastard in the last tournament. Come to find out, this dude is actually Sub-Zero's brother who is out to finish the job Sub-Zero started in the first tournament aka kill Shang Tsung. Well Shang Tsung's right hand man Quan Chi was the guy who ressurected Scorpion in the first place. The Twist? Quan Chi was the one who had Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei assassinate Scorpion and his family in the first place! So now Scorpion and Sub-Zero's lil bro are buddies, out to take on the contenders of the 2nd Mortal Kombat tournament.
Why Scorpion is so cool:
1. He has a fucking rope knife thingy
2. He's undead, with a heart set on revenge. Cliche? Maybe, but he's dope as hell
3. He can teleport
4. Access to portals connected to the Netherrealm? What more can you ask for?

And there you have it, the dopest undead-teleporting-knife-rope-weilding-ninja-who-can-breath-fire-you-ever-did-see. Join me next time for the character of the week.
