When Mortal Kombat was first released in the 90s, it quickly became a cult classic. The one-on-one arcade fighting game has since grown into a dominant franchise that continues to push the boundaries of the genre. The lion's share in the popularity of the franchise belongs to unique characters who are able to do amazing things, such as letting go of deadly spears and fireballs, manipulating electricity, stealing souls, etc. This brings us to the main question: who is the strongest character in the MK series?

We present to your attention a list of the most powerful and powerful characters in the Mortal Kombat game series.

10

Sub Zero

Sub Zero

Even though Sub-Zero was killed by Scorpion (and reborn as Noob Saibot), the character has always been playable. He has an innate ability to control ice in its various manifestations, and many of his most powerful techniques are related to ice in one way or another. He also knows how to teleport, splitting into several parts, and then going back to another part of the arena.

9

Goro

Goro is a tall, muscular, four-armed general in the Outworld army. The first real monster of the series, which brings real pleasure to the death of the enemy. While he acts as a sub-boss, Goro has been the undefeated champion of the tournament for over 500 years. Goro has great physical strength. Also, for a 2-meter giant, Goro is a rather technical fighter, using various grapples to defeat the enemy. In addition, he is able to release fiery projectiles from his hands, which cause great damage. But in the early parts of the series, his punches dealt much more damage than in recent games.

8

Scorpion

Scorpion

Playable character in every MK game. Scorpion is well known for his rivalry with Sub-Zero, usually using their epic battles to publicize the franchise. Scorpio is completely invulnerable. Even if his body is killed in the world of the living, he will be reborn in the Underworld and after a while he will be able to return back to the world of the living. The strength of Scorpio depends on how long he will be in the Underworld (the time spent in the Underworld is directly proportional to his strength). In addition to his manipulation of fire, he has a kunai knife that poses the strongest danger to the enemy. Among other things, in battle, Scorpio is able to call on hellish forces to help him or send the enemy to the Underworld, where he will be brutally punished.

7

Shang Tsung

Shang Tsung

The original "bad guy" and the final boss of MK1. He has the ability to absorb other people's souls, which allows him to take the form of those whose souls he took, completely copying their abilities, in addition, he receives all the knowledge of his victims. Apart from this, Shang Tsung is also able to control the powers of fire. During combat, he can release fireballs from his hands and summon them from the ground or from the air. He also knows how to teleport and open portals to other worlds.

6

Shinnok

The main antagonist of MK4. Shinnok is a powerful fallen Elder God whose main goal is revenge. He is not as intimidating as the previous villains, but has magical powers that allow him to control the Underworld. He does not rely more on brute force or intimidation, but on magic and cunning. Shinnok is able to imitate the abilities of other warriors, but unlike Shang Tsung, he does not need to take on another form or take other people's souls. With the help of an amulet, he can make himself completely invulnerable to both physical and magical attacks. In addition, he can turn into a huge and almost invulnerable demon.

5

Liu Keng

Liu Kang

The original hero, whose image was originally based on Bruce Lee. Liu Kang is Earthrealm's greatest fighter, possessing incredible dexterity and knowledge of martial arts. He wields powerful moves such as the Bicycle Punch, Flying Punch, and Fireballs, which are difficult to counter but easy to do. Liu Kang's speed and strength made him a constant threat to Emperor Shao Kahn, but despite his staggering possibilities, he remains human(in MK1 he is the only character without a fatality fatality).

4

Quan Chi

This bald sorcerer is an integral villain of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Despite never being the main antagonist, that doesn't make him any less powerful. He is ready to team up with anyone if it will help him achieve his goals. Due to his treacherous nature, Quan Chi made many enemies, including Sub-Zero and Scorpion, whose bloodline Quan Chi personally exterminated. As the highest ranked necromancer, he is considered one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Mortal Kombat universe. Also, do not forget that he is a very good fighter who masterfully owns several hand-to-hand styles.

3

Raiden

God of Thunder, protector of Earthrealm and representative of the Elder Gods. Raiden has appeared in every part of Mortal Kombat and thanks to his great powers has become one of the most beloved characters in the series. Since the days of MK1, Raiden has full control over electricity, can fly and teleport. While other characters have gone through notable changes in appearance and history, Raiden remains an iconic and unchanged character from the series.

2

Onaga

Known as the Dragon King, Onaga can resurrect the dead, is resistant to magic, and has the power to take on any opponent in the Mortal Kombat universe. As a dragon, he can breathe fire, fly, and shoot fireballs from his mouth. Shao Kahn was able to defeat him with poison, which seems to be the only way this character can be defeated. The combined strengths of the three characters on this list were not enough to stop him, not to mention the fact that after the explosion set by Raiden, the Dragon King did not receive any damage.

1

Shao Kahn

Shao Khan

The antagonist of MKII and MKIII, Emperor of Outworld and Raiden's brother, who does not take off his skull-shaped helmet, and destroys opponents with cruelty and without emotion. During the fight, he likes to taunt his opponent. Shao Kahn possesses colossal physical strength, and despite his enormous height and muscularity, he is a very agile and speedy fighter. He is also very good at magic. The crown weapon of Shao Kahn is a war hammer, thanks to which the already huge physical strength of the emperor is multiplied several times. Speed ​​in combat and a large array of abilities make Shao Kahn invincible for any other Mortal Kombat character.

After the awakening of the Dragon King, Hotaru decided that Outworld, which had been in chaos since coming to power, would change, and Onaga's dictatorship would bring stability to the realm. He swore allegiance to the Dragon King, busied himself with suppressing riots and rebellions, and vowed to personally capture the head of the Lin Kuei clan, who had killed a large number of Onaga warriors. After fighting Sub-Zero, Hotaru lost, but he managed to save his life thanks to his cunning. He began to pursue Sub-Zero and joined him, but he, in turn, was pursued by Dyro, who signed a contract to kill him. In Hotaru's ending Mortal Kombat: Armageddon he manages to win, and he becomes the very essence of the Order. He transforms all kingdoms, based on his vision of the principles of law and order, making the subjects bow to him or transforming them. Also, Hotaru decided that the best way to repay his crimes would be to transform him into an agent of Order, and turns the Chaos cleric into his main assistant.

Dark Kahn

Voice acting:Perry Brown and Patrick Seitz
Simultaneously in two worlds, Raiden destroys Shao Kahn by shooting him with lightning when he tried to escape through the portal and Superman destroys the villain Darkseid by shooting him with a laser from his eyes when the villain tried to escape home through a teleporter. Due to the fact that this happens simultaneously in both worlds, both villains are merged into a single being - Dark Kahn, who begins to merge the Mortal Kombat and DC Universe universes.

DC Universe Characters

During the merger of the universes, DC super-characters and Mortal Kombat warriors began to fall into a battle rage, forcing them to fight each other. Among the characters from DC comics who got into the united universe there are superheroes Superman

scarlett

Voice acting Story by: Dana Lin Baron.
Shao Kahn has many warriors under his command, but he only trusts the fighters of his own creation. The blood of warriors, collected from countless battles, merges with sorcery, creating her most effective creation - Scarlett. An expert in search, she preys on those who are considered enemies of the empire. In battle, Scarlett draws strength from her opponent's blood by absorbing it through her skin. Shao Kahn gave her a new task: to find out the true intentions of Quan Chi and kill him if he is involved in a plot against the emperor. She uses paired kodachi and kunai. Scarlett has her own ending for the arcade mode in the game (though it is not available in Necropolis): after defeating Shao Kahn and his death, the warrior realizes that, being bewitched by Quan Chi, she killed her emperor. Having "collected" Shao Kahn's blood, Scarlett gains tremendous power after the battle and goes to the Nether World to take revenge on the sorcerer. She defeats many warriors and collects their forces, and after finishing with Quan Chi, it remains to wait for the revival of Shao Kahn.

Who is Hornbuckle?), sometimes appearing after defeating Shao Kahn. The caption was added by one of the game's programmers, Lynn Hornbuckle.

Nimbus Terrafaux

Nimbus Terrafaux was rumored to be an unlockable kickboxer in the first Mortal Kombat. This was later revealed to be an April Fool's joke from Electronic Gaming Monthly, although the character was originally hinted at by Ed Boon himself in an interview with the magazine. The magazine published deliberately false information about the character, including fake screenshots and a fabricated storyline. Nimbus Terrafaux was named the best secret character in the series by Game Revolution magazine in 2003.
