In most early Mortal Kombat media, due in large part to his sinister and malevolent appearance, Scorpion is typecast in a villainous role. In the second timeline, he would get his revenge after being restored to his human form, eventually tracking Quan Chi down and executing him. He wouldn't learn until much later that it was Quan Chi, not Bi-Han, who committed the genocide, to which he responded by torturing Quan Chi in the Netherrealm in the original timeline. He confronts and kills Bi-Han at the first tournament, inadvertently spawning the undead wraith Noob Saibot. As a result of Quan Chi's manipulation, he initially believes Bi-Han, a ninja from the rival Lin Kuei clan and the original Sub-Zero, to be responsible for the massacre. However, Hanzo joined in spite of his father's wishes in order to provide his wife and son with a comfortable life.Īfter he and his clan are exterminated, Scorpion reappears as a hell-spawned spectre, inexorably seeking vengeance against those responsible for the destruction of his family and clan. 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. 5.12 Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms.5.11 Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.5.1 Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.4.8 Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.4.2 Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm.
