Biography[]
Scorpion first appears during the tournament against Johnny Cage. Soon the pair began fighting in the forest. After a while, Scorpion proceeds to teleport Cage to his lair. Johnny discovers Scorpion preparing his next attack. He sees him removing his mask and revealing a skull and prepares to breath fire at his opponent. Johnny grabs a shield to protect himself, and after digging out a spear, buried in the remains of deceased warriors, Johnny tosses the spear at Scorpion’s arm, then uses the shield’s sharp edges to cut Scorpion’s stomach and head. Afterwards, Scorpion explodes into a flaming bone mess.
Later on in the sequel, he appears and attacks the new Sub-Zero while serving under Shao Kahn. After that, he captures Kitana. What happens to him next is unknown as he isn’t shown again.
