Scorpion unmasked is known as Inferno Scorpion. As of MKX, he has regained his humanity and human identity, depicted with a goatee and mustache and can switch between his human and familiar spectre-like appearance at will. In MK4, he is further distinguished by his skeletal motif, mostly in the mask, with bone-like structures lacing his uniform. Without his mask, his head is a (sometimes flaming) skull. He kept this appearance from the first MK to MK4after which he bore two swords on his back and his kunai attached to a rope tied to his belt. Scorpion appeared as a yellow palette swap of Sub-Zero. During this time, he treated Takeda like his own son, such as when he comforts Takeda after Fox's death. 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. 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 for killing his kin. Scorpion will shout, "Get over here!" or "Come here!", while executing this technique.Īlthough Scorpion is often strict and wrathful, at times he shows a caring side and is very honorable. This attack will also stun the opponent for a short amount of time. Scorpion's most popular and recognized skill is his famous spear attack, which is used to draw an opponent toward him. However, he can fully regain his human appearance if he conquers his own demons. Only his skull remains when in his true form, sometimes ablaze. Scorpion appears human when masked, though this is merely an illusion.

Although he is featured alongside the forces of evil in the opening scene of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he remains neutral due to his fierce hatred of Quan Chi. Compared to the purely virtuous "good guys", and the diabolically evil "bad guys", Scorpion's moral neutrality is unique. His attitude, appearance and self-reliance have all contributed to his popularity. He undertakes actions that benefit the forces of good, albeit in his own gruesome and vigilante manner. Scorpion is perceived by fans as the title's foremost anti-hero. Scorpion has also (indirectly) assisted the game's protagonists to fulfill these motives. 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. Now Scorpion is a hell-spawned spectre, inexorably seeking vengeance against those responsible for the destruction of his clan and the death of his own family. However, Hanzo joined in spite of his father's wishes in order to provide his wife and son with a comfortable life. It is known that 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.
