Hanzo Hasashi, also known as Scorpion, is one of the characters who appeared in all MK video games.
He debuted in Mortal Kombat, along with Sub-Zero, his biggest enemy, but players were also able to see Scorpion in other MK games, such as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon or Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.
When he was alive, Scorpion was a deadly ninja and a fierce assassin. He was also a member of the Shirai Ryu clan, but his family as well as his clan were killed by Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei.
Sub-Zero also killed Scorpion; however a powerful necromancer named Quan Chi, resurrected him as a specter.
Since then, Scorpion participated in every Mortal Kombat tournament in order to defeat Sub-Zero, and avenge his family’s death.
Many players and Mortal Kombat fans place Scorpion side by side with Shang Tsung’s forces, when in fact Scorpion is a neutral character, and he fights only for himself.
Even if he is a specter and he resides in the Netherrealm, Scorpions thirst for vengeance didnt disappear and his final goal is the same: to defeat Sub-Zero once and for all.
In Mortal Kombat 9, or Mortal Kombat 2011, Scorpions presence was confirmed by the games demo version and the games official website.
His main weapon remains the bloody spear, also known as Scorpion’s harpoon, which in fact is a Kunai knife attached to a rope. Scorpions quotes “Get over here!” or “Come here!” can also be heard during the game, when he launches his spear.
Additionally, gamers who decide to play Mortal Kombat 9 as Scorpion, are able to perform the following moves and fatalities.
