Scorpion decides to be the younger Sub-Zero's guardian in atonement for killing his older brother. When Scorpion sees the new Sub-Zero spare the life of an opponent, he realizes this is not the cruel, cold-hearted man who killed him but the man's younger brother. Scorpion enters the new tournament to investigate this warrior. Another Lin Kuei warrior with ice abilities called Sub-Zero joins this tournament, with the game's introduction leaving it deliberately vague whether this is a new fighter or the original warrior back from the dead. In Mortal Kombat II (1993), some time after the tenth tournament, a rematch Mortal Kombat tournament held in the dimension of Outworld, now hosted by Emperor Shao Kahn. The game Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (1997) shows Sub-Zero joining Mortal Kombat days or weeks after he kills Scorpion, but does not clarify whether he is joining the tenth tournament or one of the tournaments that occurred years earlier, surviving and later deciding to return for the tenth. Later games make it unclear how much time passes between Scorpion's death and the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament. Wishing to gain his vengeance through an honorable fight rather than a surprise attack, Scorpion leaves, promising Sub-Zero they will meet again in the tournament. Scorpion declares "demons" have allowed him to return and avenge his own demise. In a one-page scene, two years after his death, Scorpion attacks Sub-Zero, who recognizes him and is shocked. The comic explained more of the backstory of the tournament and its characters, though it does not fully fit into the canon of later games in the franchise. Canonically, after the tenth tournament is won by the human champion Liu Kang, Scorpion kills Sub-Zero.Īfter the release of the first Mortal Kombat game, players were able to order a special tie-in comic book written and illustrated by MK co-creator John Tobias, published by Midway. The same ending implies that the curse of Scorpion's supernatural existence means he can have revenge but can't reunite with his still-living family. Scorpion's ending reveals he is actually an undead specter, a warrior who was killed by Sub-Zero, survived by a wife and child, and allowed to return to the physical realms in order to have his revenge. In the original game, it is implied Scorpion has enmity towards Sub-Zero due to rivalry between their opposing warrior clans (Scorpion's Japanese clan is unnamed, while the game names Sub-Zero's Chinese clan "Lin Kuei"). The game takes place during the tenth and final tournament, hosted by the shape-shifter sorcerer Shang Tsung, who is a servant of the Outworld emperor Shao Kahn.
