Scorpion

Story

Hanzo Hasashi meets his end at the hands of the Lin Kuei and is taken to the Netherrealm. There, he is turned into the spectre, Scorpion, by Quan Chi and now serves at his side. He enters the first Mortal Kombat seeking revenge after being told that his family was killed by Sub-Zero, a Lin Kuei assassin. At the tournament, Scorpion wins match after match seeking only to get his revenge. He gets his chance, but not before meeting Raiden who convinces him not to kill Sub-Zero in return for getting his brothers of the Shirai Ryu back together in the mortal realm. Fully committed to keeping his end of the bargain, Scorpion defeats Sub-Zero but doesn’t kill him, only to be manipulated by Quan Chi and eventually murder Sub-Zero.

Scorpion will cross paths with Sub-Zero’s younger brother who has taken up the name ‘Sub-Zero’ and the two would clash, although he lost the battle. At the end of the story, he also loses to Raiden but continues to stay by Quan Chi’s side.

Later, he is returned to his human form thanks to Raiden and the power of Shinnok’s amulet. He learns that the Lin Kuei might have been responsible for his family and clan’s deaths, but the true mastermind was Quan Chi and Shinnok. With this, he joins the good guys and is also part of the fight against Quan Chi. 

When Kronika arrives to reshape the world, Hanzo Hasashi sides against her. Although his past self is in support of Kronika thinking it will bring back his clan and family. Hanzo battles to show his younger self the truth eventually dying at the hands of D’Vorah. But with Scorpion now rehabilitated, he continues from where Hanzo left off joining sides with the Special Forces, Raiden and Liu Kang to fight against Kronika.
