Ferra and Torr are a symbiote pairing consisting respectively of a young female rider and a giant masked brute, and were found wandering the Tarkatan wastelands before being made to serve as new Outworld emperor Kotal Kahn's personal bodyguards. We should probably do something with that.”He probably wouldn’t rank quite as high if not for Trevor Goddard’s rocking performance in the first movie.Sure, he was just a knockoff of Goro and has virtually no story to speak of outside of the recent retcon that he was the one who mutilated Kabal, but separated from that, Kintaro is just plain better. In the game's story mode, he cannot be killed permanently due to his regenerative abilities. He takes advantage of its strict laws to manipulate individuals into joining his movement.
She’s a red ninja who was originally just an unfounded rumor that later became an actual character.As Ermac is Shao Kahn’s soldier made up of the souls of dead warriors, Skarlet is made up of their blood. He pumped his fist, pulled out his sunglasses, slipped them on, and posed with his arms crossed. You have someone with machine gun arms. "She's fun to play as, but she doesn't stand out nearly enough ... her role in story mode is to get into generic fights meant to pad out the plot. At best, Geras is a tragic being whose only salvation can come from rising above his own mission. A triple team attack from Raiden, Quan Chi, and Shang Tsung barely hurts Onaga, but we’re supposed to buy that Nightwolf or Jade has what it takes to beat him one-on-one. He’s constantly covered in flies.Put it all together and he doesn’t quite pull it off. It’s neat how such a secondary character became so likable that no matter who they put in the main hero role, he was the one that everyone considered the true icon of the franchise. She’s just such a dangerous asset to Kahn that he’d rather keep her chained up with intent to let her loose only if he’s desperate.Tremor owes a lot to his long-running mystique.
Jerrod is the dominant personality.Despite being defined by her jealousy of Kitana and her relationship with Baraka, Mileena finds a way to outshine them both. Did she do something wrong?
How fitting that the breakout character from I could basically just explain Raiden’s spot in the top ten with Christopher Lambert saying, “The fate of billions will depend upon you, heh heh heh… Sorry,” in the movie, but I might as well go on.Originally introduced as a one-dimensional villain, Raiden was retconned into being Earthrealm’s go-to mentor character in Accidentally killing off most of the cast? The endings for Mileena and Noob Saibot in Shinnok ends up jumping up the list a bit because of his depiction in Sonya is the weakest of the original seven characters. There’s a lot of mystery to the character waiting to be unraveled.Jade gets to show up in modern games because she was in The out-of-nowhere revelation that Jade and Kotal Kahn were a thing and the continuation of that storyline is one of the nicer surprises in Smoke is a lot like Jade, only more interesting, and I’m not talking about their secret character connection.
Maybe she just has sensitive arms.Skarlet is female Ermac in just about every way, although they never outright say that. I mean, literally he was a boss, yes, but…you know what I mean.That’s too bad. To paraphrase Kung Lao himself, “He’s out of your league.”He really became something worth caring about in the reboot, where he came off as a likeable, disgruntled, smart-ass who seemed to have a better handle on his unorthodox cop weapons. A schemer who would posture at one moment and then beg and plead at Shao Kahn’s feet the next, he was the perfect second banana to Kahn’s dominant personality. Shao Kahn: "I have discovered that Reiko, formally my most trusted general, has been entering my private chamber to wear my helmet." Should Jarek have been in the top 10? In You know what else rules? He’s basically a Shaw Brothers Boogerman, and the gag wears thin after the third time you use his puke attack.Kai probably should be lower on the list, but I don’t know. I mean, it doesn’t make a lick of sense, but that’s still a big deal! And it totally did!It is pretty funny to me how, after Kitana embraced being a princess, she went back to wearing a mask for no reason other than how it was iconic.
