Scorpion, who utilizes fire, and Sub-Zero, a master of ice, absolutely can't stand each other. However, there's more to their rivalry than just opposing elements. In this exclusive video, we're going to take you through Scorpion and Sub-Zero's rivalry in the Mortal Kombat franchise, explaining everything you need to know.
The two popular ninja characters hate each other in large part due to the interference and machinations of the sorcerer Quan Chi. When the original Mortal Kombat game rolls around, Quan Chi is attempting to gain control of a magical amulet so as to release Shinnok from the Netherrealm, so he hires two rival groups of assassins: The Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu. Engaged in a series of tournaments to protect the fate of Earthrealm, each Kombatant brings with them a complex backstory that ties into all the action.
Every fighter has an interesting, memorable look and set of powers, but no one on the roster is quite as iconic as Sub-Zero and Scorpion. This famous ninja duo has been representing fire and ice since the first groundbreaking game arrived in arcades back in Ever since, they have been synonymous with the "Mortal Kombat" series , providing a rivalry that is up there with that of Batman and The Joker.
You simply cannot talk about "Mortal Kombat" without taking a deep dive into the bad blood between the two deadly ninjas. If you haven't spent any time exploring the "Mortal Kombat" mythology , you may wonder what started their feud and why they have so much hatred for one another.
This is Sub-Zero and Scorpion's relationship explained. It's hard to imagine that two fighters who look so similar could hate each other so much.
After all, "Mortal Kombat" co-creator John Tobias revealed that the original idea behind these mortal enemies was to make "a palette swapped character to save memory," meaning that they have plenty in common behind the scenes. By ignoring the storyline and 's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation , where the enemies were pitted against each other in a fight that looks like it's from an episode of Power Rangers , the Mortal Kombat spotlights the tension between Sub-Zero, nee Bi-Han frighteningly played by Joe Taslim of The Raid movies and an accomplished martial artist , and Scorpion, nee Hanzo Hasashi the excellent Hiroyuki Sanada , turning their ancient feud into the backbone of the whole film.
I think this is probably, in my career, the most fun character I played so far. Taslim's passion for his character—whom he does indeed main when playing the game, he admitted—is apparent in the focused intensity he brings to Sub-Zero. Not only does he get to say lines finally, he's one of the first people we meet in the film, intimidating Hanzo's wife and young son, before killing them and setting them in front of the Hasashi home like an icy Pieta sculpture.
Within the first eight minutes, we're treated to the movie's first major brawl, fittingly between Bi-Han and Hanzo before they had become super-ninjas with their masks and costumes. But how did they end up hating each other so much in the first place? It's actually very political. From the Lin Kuei perspective, 'You guys are traitors and we've got to wipe out all of you.
