When his mask is on, Scorpion mostly resembles an ordinary human. Compared to the purely virtuous "good guys", and the diabolically evil "bad guys", Scorpion's moral ambiguity is unique. His attitude, appearance, and self-reliance have all contributed to his popularity. He undertakes actions that benefit the forces of good, albeit in his own gruesome and vigilante manner. In more recent MK media (the second timeline in particular), Scorpion is portrayed in a more heroic light, and is perceived by fans to be the title's foremost anti-hero. Although he is featured alongside the Forces of Darkness in the opening scene of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he remains officially neutral because of his fierce hatred for Quan Chi. He joins the forces of evil only when promised a means of resurrecting his clan on Earth, or the chance to inflict his wrath against those who butchered them.
As such, he has had many incursions with the forces of good. In most early Mortal Kombat media, due in large part to his sinister and malevolent appearance, Scorpion is typecast in a villainous role. In the second timeline, he would get his revenge after being restored to his human form, eventually tracking Quan Chi down and executing him. He wouldn't learn until much later that it was Quan Chi, not Bi-Han, who committed the genocide, to which he responded by torturing Quan Chi in the Netherrealm in the original timeline. He confronts and kills Bi-Han at the first tournament, inadvertently spawning the undead wraith Noob Saibot. As a result of Quan Chi's manipulation, he initially believes Bi-Han, a ninja from the rival Lin Kuei clan and the original Sub-Zero, to be responsible for the massacre. However, Hanzo joined in spite of his father's wishes in order to provide his wife Harumi and son Satoshi with a comfortable life.Īfter he and his clan are exterminated, Scorpion reappears as a hell-spawned Spectre, inexorably seeking vengeance against those responsible for the destruction of his family and clan. It is known that his father, a former member of the Shirai Ryu, forbade his son from joining the clan, as he did not wish for his son to live the life of an assassin.
