Scorpion and Sub-Zero are the most recognizable characters on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat's large roster of fighters. Their fame partially comes from their long te🌠nure within the series and their iconic masks. But their celebrated rivalry with one another has also helped them become incredibly well-knღown figures in gaming.
This feud was already in progress by the start of the first game. And it lasted throughout most of the series in both the original and new timelines. Because itও features in both timelines, the feud can be hard to follow. But here is a full explanation of the issues between the two legendary warriors.
Beginning Of Rivalry
Scorpion (aka Hanzo Hasashi) and the original Sub-Zero (aka Bi-Han) could never really avoid a rivalry because they were part of rival clans. Scorpion was a 🗹member of the Shirai Ryu, while Sub-Zero was loyal to the Lin Kuei.
The clan feud began when a warrior named Takeda left the Lin Kuei — an act punishable by death — and ended up forming the Shirai Ryu. Merely being members of these factions meant the two characters we꧋re ꦑalways destined to feud.
First Blood
The rivalry between the two characters really kicked into high gear when Quan Chi hired both of them to find the Map Of Elements for him.
In the process, the two warriors fought. The original Zero got the better of Hanzo Hasashi and killed him.
This meant Zero was able to get the map for Quan Chi. As payment, the sorcerer wiped out the Shirai Ryu clan for the Lin Kuei. This act also spelled the end for Hasashi's family.
Of course, Hasashi wouldn't stay dead as Quan Chi resurrected him as Scorpion. In this new form, he gained all his special fire powers but lost much of his humanity - he even began living in Netherrealm.
He wasn't completely disconnected from his former life, though, as once awoken, he desired vengeance for himself and his family. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Quan Chi was responsible for the death of the Shirai Ryu. The villain made him believe that S🧜ub-Zero was to blame.
Scorpion Gets Revenge
The two warriors would next meet during a Mortal Kombat Tournament.
This would serve as a good opportunity for Scorpion to get his revenge, which is exactly what he did as he was able to kill his old foe.
But like before, death didn't spell the end of this rivalry.
Introduction Of Kuai Liang
Bi-Han was resurrected by Quan Chi, just like Hanzo Hasashi before him. However, he wasn't Sub-Zero anymore. Instead, he w💜as a new being known as Noob Saibot.
Yet, Sub-Zero lived on as Bi-Han's younger brother Kuai Liang took on the mantle.
This is when the timelines head in slightly different directions.
In each version, though, Scorpion didn't have the same hatred and desire to kill this Sub-Zero as he did the original one. Plus, Kuai Liang didn't have a serious vendetta against Scorpion, despite the fighter killing his brother.
Scorpion Discovers The Truth
Despite the feud not really existing by this point, Quan Chi still attempted to manipulate Scorpion into killing his supposed rival.
Eventually, Scorpion learned that it was Quan Chi who massacred his family, not Sub-Zero.
In the original timeline, he found this out from Quan Chi himself, while in the newer one, Kuai Liang provided the information.
Either way, Quan Chi became Scorpion's main adversary.
The End Of The Feud
After the reveal of Quan Chi's betrayal, the original timeline went in a few different directions. Therefore, there was no 💝true canon ending to the Scorpion and Sub-Zero feud in that timeline.
However, their rivalry did come to an end in the newer timeline.
By that point, both of the characters were humans again, going by their regular names and li♓ving in Earthrealm.
The pair had individually re-established their respective clans to help protect their new home. Because of the shared goal, Kuai Liang attempted to mend fences with Hanzo Hasashi.
Hasashi was initially hesitant until he learned what really happened with his clan. After that, there were apologies from both sides, and the two actually started to work together.
Thus, the long rivalry finally came to an end.
