Scorpion

Scorpion, whose real name is Hanzo Hasashi, is a central character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He is a resurrected ninja and is known as the mascot of the games. Scorpion is one of the few original characters who debuted in the first Mortal Kombat arcade game. Scorpion is an undead Japanese warrior who is primarily defined by his quest to avenge the deaths of himself, his family, and his clan. After killing Bi-Han/Sub- Zero, whom he believed to be the killer, Scorpion develops a feud with Bi-Han’s younger brother and second Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang, that spans most of the franchise before discovering Quan Chi is the real murderer. Scorpion is known for his yellow attire and his primary weapon, a kunai rope dart, which he uses to harpoon opponents. Despite being a neutral figure focused primarily on seeking revenge, he will side with those who can help him achieve his goals. His character has received critical acclaim since his debut and frequently appears in media outside of the games. His design, special abilities, and finishing moves known as “Fatalities” have made him one of the most popular characters in the franchise.
