||
+ | '''[[w:c:hero:Scorpion (Mortal Kombat) | Hanzo Hasashi]]''', better known as '''Scorpion''', is one of the main protagonists and the mascot of the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise. |
||
− | '''Scorpion''' is an undead ninja warrior and an anti-hero in the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise. Even though he is aligned neutral, he has done some antagonistic acts. In ''MK Armageddon'', he allied with the [[Forces of Darkness]] to come closer to his enemy and creator, [[Quan Chi]]. |
||
+ | Even though he has a neutral alignment, he has done some villainous acts. In ''Mortal Kombat: Armageddon'', he allied with the [[Forces of Darkness]] to kill [[community:c:hero:Taven|Taven]] and [[Daegon]], due to having a grudge against the Elder Gods for "restoring" the Shirai Ryu members as undead monsters and not fully humans. He is also the former servant turned archenemy of [[Quan Chi]]. |
||
− | ==Bio== |
||
− | Born to the Shirai Ryu Ninja clan, Hanzo Hasashi was among the best shinobi in the clan. He earned the name "Sasori" (the Japanese word for "Scorpion") because of his incredible ninja skills, and his life was blessed with kombat for the glory of his clan's grandmaster. |
||
+ | He is currently voiced by Ron Yuan. Prior to that, he was voiced by Patrick Seitz, who has been doing the role since ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'' and has also voiced [[Adamas (Record of Ragnarok)|Adamas]] in ''{{w|Record of Ragnarok}}'', and by one of the co-creators of the series, Ed Boon himself, since the very first ''Mortal Kombat'' game. |
||
− | However, when he received a mission from the vile necromancer [[Quan Chi]] to steal the sacred Map of Elements from the Order of Light's Shaolin Temple, Scorpion was brutally murdered in battle by the Lin Kuei warrior, [[Noob Saibot|Sub-Zero]]. Consequently his family, and his clan, were slaughtered by Quan Chi as payment to the Lin Kuei. Scorpion's soul was sent to the Netherrealm, where he laid waste. He fought Sub-Zero again in the Prison of Souls during his damnation, but was defeated again, allowing the Lin Kuei warrior to escape. |
||
==Appearance== |
==Appearance== |
||
− | Scorpion has been depicted in many different ways |
+ | Scorpion has been depicted in many different ways throughout the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise, but is always portrayed in a yellow ninja outfit with black pants, belt, undershirt, a balaclava with a yellow faceplate overlapping it, and occasionally two crossed swords mounted on his back. |
+ | Scorpion unmasked is known as '''Inferno Scorpion'''. This design reappears in the Challenge Tower, fighting Kano in the Netherrealm. His costumes incorporate his namesake more and more with each game, especially his latest redesign. The hilts of his swords now resemble the stingers of scorpions, while his shoulder pads and mouthpiece are also molded after scorpions. |
||
− | ==Abilities== |
||
− | When a human, he was known for his amazing, almost blinding speed and assassination skills. But when brought back as a demon, he had the ability to breath and control fire, teleport, and spawn a kunai (dubbed as "spear") tipped chain from his palm, launching it towards his opponent like a harpoon, and yank them over to his position, yelling with a signature 'GET OVER HERE!' or 'COME HERE!" |
||
+ | ==Personality== |
||
− | He also has an extremely high level of strength, like most Mortal Kombatants, able to rip off limbs with little to no problem. He also can take a comical amount of damage, withstanding having his neck broken, organs stabbed, and eyes gouged out. |
||
+ | Scorpion can best be described as the embodiment of vengeance and hatred. His vendetta against those who have wronged him is what drives pretty much all his motivations. His desire to get revenge is so huge that he will join any side good or evil for the sake of achieving his own goals but he is often seen serving a villain, especially Quan Chi, until he learned the truth about him. Even so, he, at least at first, showed more remorse for working for his family's true killer rather than the crimes he committed while under him. |
||
+ | While his ninja appearance and desire for revenge may make him seem completely villainous at first. in actuality he is not inherently evil. Scorpion is rather a morally neutral character as his own personal goals matter more to him than things like the fates of the realms and will serve any side with the singular personal hope of achieving them, but as a result, he often ends up doing either good or evil things depending on what side he serves, which often is the evil side. However, even after the events of the rebooted timeline, the main series hasn't revealed the true extent of his crimes while serving under Quan Chi. |
||
− | In some incarnations, includes movies, Scorpion's kunai resembles skeletal snake with jaws full of sharp canines. |
||
+ | Scorpion initially had a caring and honorable side to him as well as Hanzo Hasashi, his original human side, but which gets buried and repressed time and time again due to his lust for vengeance. He dearly loved his wife and son Harumi and Satoshi and had good relations with his clan the Shirai Ryu. But once him, his clan and family was massacred by their rival clan the Lin Kuei, Hanzo was reborn as the vengeful revenant known today as Scorpion. |
||
− | ==Film== |
||
− | [[File:Scorpion_(Mortal_Kombat).jpg|thumb|left|Scorpion in the 1995 ''Mortal Kombat'' film]]Scorpion appears as a villain in the 1995 ''Mortal Kombat'' film, where he serves as a loyal minion of [[Shang Tsung]], the film's main antagonist. He is portrayed by Chris Casamassa. |
||
+ | ==Powers and Abilities== |
||
− | Scorpion is first seen aboard Shang Tsung's ship alongside [[Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat)|Sub-Zero]], where they prepare to battle Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage. Raiden suddenly appears and blasts both Scorpion and Sub-Zero with powerful magic, knocking them out. |
||
+ | As a human, he was known for his amazing, almost blinding speed and assassination skills. But when brought back as a demon, he had the ability to breath and control fire, teleport, and spawn a kunai (dubbed as "spear") tipped chain from his palm, launching it towards his opponent like a harpoon, and yank them over to his position, yelling with a signature "GET OVER HERE!" or 'COME HERE!". |
||
+ | Can make his skull breath fire. |
||
− | Scorpion appears later on during the Mortal Kombat tournament, where he faces Johnny Cage in a vast forest. Scorpion attacks him with a vicious insect concealed in his palm, but Johnny eventually lures it into a tree trunk, killing it on impact. Scorpion then warps himself to another location, but Johnny just manages to jump into the portal and teleports him. The battle continues in a red-illuminated chamber filled with shipwrecks, old weapons and human bones, with Scorpion revealing his true head as a mere skull before breathing fire at his opponent. Johnny grabs a razor-edged shield lying nearby to protect himself and then hurls a spear into Scorpion's arm. As Scorpion yells, Johnny finishes him off by slashing his chest and head with the razor shield, causing him to spontaneously combust before exploding. |
||
+ | |||
+ | He also has an extremely high level of strength, like most Mortal Kombatants, able to rip off limbs with little to no problem. He also can take a comical amount of damage, withstanding having his neck broken, organs stabbed, and eyes gouged out. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Scorpion also has the ability to teleport and can activate this ability without doing a gesture but by thinking instead, he often uses it as a surprise or ambush attack, and he can also open portals to the Netherrealm at will. Scorpion's powers also get stronger the longer he is in the Netherrealm, which proved to be extremely helpful when he was torturing Quan Chi in the Netherrealm. |
||
+ | |||
+ | In some incarnations, includes movies, Scorpion's kunai resembles a skeletal snake with jaws full of sharp canines. |

||
+ | |||
+ | ==Trivia== |
||
+ | *Scorpion is one of the most popular characters in the ''Mortal Kombat'' series, partially thanks to his having the most human-like personality, as opposed to the all noble and good ones of the good characters and all evil and cruel ones of the evil characters. He is considered the mascot of the franchise. |
||
+ | *During his boss battle in ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks'', if the player dodges his spear too many times, Scorpion will scream "Get the f*** over here!" or "Get over here, bitch!" |
||
+ | **When he is dragged into lava at the end of the battle, he gives a thumbs up, a reference to ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'', where the [[w:c:hero:Terminator (800 Series, Model 101)|T-800]] gave a thumbs up to [[w:c:hero:John Connor|John Connor]] as it submerged itself in molten metal. |
||
+ | *His catchphrase "Get over here!" has become super iconic in pop culture. |
||
+ | *In ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'', there is a humorous fictional video called "Cooking with Scorpion". |
||
+ | *Scorpion appears in every generation of ''Mortal Kombat'' games with the exception of the Game.com version of ''Mortal Kombat Trilogy''. |
||
+ | *Ed Boon has admitted in various interviews that Scorpion is his favorite character and that any game without him feels incomplete. Ed Boon also voices him in the older titles. |
||
+ | *His fighting stance in the earlier games is a reference to his name with his up raised arm acting as his “scorpion tail”. |
||
+ | *Scorpion’s real name may be a reference to Hanzo Hattori, an actual samurai and possible ninja. |
||
+ | *Scorpion appeared in the Screwattack show, ''Death Battle'', where he was pitted against [[Evil Ryu|Ryu]] from Street Fighter. In the fight, Scorpion managed to win despite the power of Ryu's Satsui no Hado and his Power of Nothingness, mostly thanks to his bringing his opponent to the Netherrealm, which kept powering him up to allow him to take the karateka down. Also helping was that most of Ryu's attacks could barely even hurt him, much less kill him. |
||
+ | *In ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks'', Scorpion has two different costumes (and is also the only one to do so); a padded costume resembling his ''Mortal Kombat II'' costume and another resembling his ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3'' costume. The first costume only appears in cinematics and artwork renders, while the second only appears within gameplay. |

Hanzo Hasashi, better known as Scorpion, is one of the main protagonists and the mascot of the Mortal Kombat franchise.
Even though he has a neutral alignment, he has done some villainous acts. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he allied with the Forces of Darkness to kill Taven and Daegon, due to having a grudge against the Elder Gods for "restoring" the Shirai Ryu members as undead monsters and not fully humans. He is also the former servant turned archenemy of Quan Chi.
He is currently voiced by Ron Yuan. Prior to that, he was voiced by Patrick Seitz, who has been doing the role since Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and has also voiced Adamas in Record of Ragnarok, and by one of the co-creators of the series, Ed Boon himself, since the very first Mortal Kombat game.
Appearance
Scorpion has been depicted in many different ways throughout the Mortal Kombat franchise, but is always portrayed in a yellow ninja outfit with black pants, belt, undershirt, a balaclava with a yellow faceplate overlapping it, and occasionally two crossed swords mounted on his back.
Scorpion unmasked is known as Inferno Scorpion. This design reappears in the Challenge Tower, fighting Kano in the Netherrealm. His costumes incorporate his namesake more and more with each game, especially his latest redesign. The hilts of his swords now resemble the stingers of scorpions, while his shoulder pads and mouthpiece are also molded after scorpions.
Personality
Scorpion can best be described as the embodiment of vengeance and hatred. His vendetta against those who have wronged him is what drives pretty much all his motivations. His desire to get revenge is so huge that he will join any side good or evil for the sake of achieving his own goals but he is often seen serving a villain, especially Quan Chi, until he learned the truth about him. Even so, he, at least at first, showed more remorse for working for his family's true killer rather than the crimes he committed while under him.
While his ninja appearance and desire for revenge may make him seem completely villainous at first. in actuality he is not inherently evil. Scorpion is rather a morally neutral character as his own personal goals matter more to him than things like the fates of the realms and will serve any side with the singular personal hope of achieving them, but as a result, he often ends up doing either good or evil things depending on what side he serves, which often is the evil side. However, even after the events of the rebooted timeline, the main series hasn't revealed the true extent of his crimes while serving under Quan Chi.
Scorpion initially had a caring and honorable side to him as well as Hanzo Hasashi, his original human side, but which gets buried and repressed time and time again due to his lust for vengeance. He dearly loved his wife and son Harumi and Satoshi and had good relations with his clan the Shirai Ryu. But once him, his clan and family was massacred by their rival clan the Lin Kuei, Hanzo was reborn as the vengeful revenant known today as Scorpion.
Powers and Abilities
As a human, he was known for his amazing, almost blinding speed and assassination skills. But when brought back as a demon, he had the ability to breath and control fire, teleport, and spawn a kunai (dubbed as "spear") tipped chain from his palm, launching it towards his opponent like a harpoon, and yank them over to his position, yelling with a signature "GET OVER HERE!" or 'COME HERE!".
Can make his skull breath fire.
He also has an extremely high level of strength, like most Mortal Kombatants, able to rip off limbs with little to no problem. He also can take a comical amount of damage, withstanding having his neck broken, organs stabbed, and eyes gouged out.
Scorpion also has the ability to teleport and can activate this ability without doing a gesture but by thinking instead, he often uses it as a surprise or ambush attack, and he can also open portals to the Netherrealm at will. Scorpion's powers also get stronger the longer he is in the Netherrealm, which proved to be extremely helpful when he was torturing Quan Chi in the Netherrealm.
In some incarnations, includes movies, Scorpion's kunai resembles a skeletal snake with jaws full of sharp canines.

Trivia
- Scorpion is one of the most popular characters in the Mortal Kombat series, partially thanks to his having the most human-like personality, as opposed to the all noble and good ones of the good characters and all evil and cruel ones of the evil characters. He is considered the mascot of the franchise.
- During his boss battle in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, if the player dodges his spear too many times, Scorpion will scream "Get the f*** over here!" or "Get over here, bitch!"
- When he is dragged into lava at the end of the battle, he gives a thumbs up, a reference to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where the T-800 gave a thumbs up to John Connor as it submerged itself in molten metal.
- His catchphrase "Get over here!" has become super iconic in pop culture.
- In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, there is a humorous fictional video called "Cooking with Scorpion".
- Scorpion appears in every generation of Mortal Kombat games with the exception of the Game.com version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
- Ed Boon has admitted in various interviews that Scorpion is his favorite character and that any game without him feels incomplete. Ed Boon also voices him in the older titles.
- His fighting stance in the earlier games is a reference to his name with his up raised arm acting as his “scorpion tail”.
- Scorpion’s real name may be a reference to Hanzo Hattori, an actual samurai and possible ninja.
- Scorpion appeared in the Screwattack show, Death Battle, where he was pitted against Ryu from Street Fighter. In the fight, Scorpion managed to win despite the power of Ryu's Satsui no Hado and his Power of Nothingness, mostly thanks to his bringing his opponent to the Netherrealm, which kept powering him up to allow him to take the karateka down. Also helping was that most of Ryu's attacks could barely even hurt him, much less kill him.
- In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Scorpion has two different costumes (and is also the only one to do so); a padded costume resembling his Mortal Kombat II costume and another resembling his Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 costume. The first costume only appears in cinematics and artwork renders, while the second only appears within gameplay.
