I think Scorpion is considered more of an Anti-hero. he's not really out to save the world but at the same time he not part of Shao Khan's army. He is only out for his own vendetta. Mortal Kombat is just a means to an end to him
Thank you for making me remember the hardest game I've ever played, Mortal Kombat mythologies: Sub Zero. Game was a freaking nightmare to beat, and I salute whoever's persisted through it.
Getting injustice ultimate edition for the PS vita was one of the best decisions I have ever made game wise. My favorite character is flash, but scorpion is awesome too, and some of the other characters.
I DO love Scorpion's look in the game, though. It honestly makes me wonder how one could rewrite his backstory so that a version of him could exist in the DC Universe. Like, maybe in this world, he's made a Hellspawn by Hades, and tricked into thinking Batman killed his clan?
Or the original Scorpion is his ancestor that died in kombat against Sub Zero, who also died. Fast forward to a young man named Hanzo Hasashi who dons Scorpion & finds that Batman is none other than a direct descendant of Sub Zero
Scorpion is perceived by fans as the title's foremost anti-hero. He undertakes actions that benefit the forces of good, albeit in his own gruesome and vigilante manner. His attitude, appearance and self-reliance have all contributed to his popularity. Compared to the purely virtuous "good guys", and the diabolically evil "bad guys", Scorpion's moral neutrality is unique. Although he is featured alongside the forces of evil in the opening scene of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Scorpion is one of the most known and best Mortal Kombat character and it's amazing that they put him in here. Personally he is my favorite character ever.
How is Injustice story mode better than the MK9 story? It is a story that goes through MK1 MK2 and UMK3 with some changes. Are you trying to say that change is BAD?!
Well scorpion being on the heroes side can be justified with his alignment I mk9. Scorpion tends to be very neutral compared to others like quan chi and shang tsung. While he is often seen working with quan chi he doesn't do it voluntary. At least this is what I think
He doesn't fit into DC, he is like the symbol of Mortal Kombat. And the creators of this game make MK. The creators can do whatever they want. You're lucky they even made this game. And it is one character, deal with it. Additionally, DC characters were already in a MK game, so what goes around comes around.
Why? Mortal kombat 9 is the best of all of the series neterrealm studios worked hard on it so many kambatins dlc story is so longer then mortal kombat vs dc universe look I love scorpion in everything but mortal kombat 9s story is awesome
Scorpion is one of the best game characters ever. If they do add Subzero, I would buy the game just for these two characters. I love Scorpion and Subzero, but would love them even more if they weren't enemies.
During the MK vs DC storyline, Raiden explained that the DC characters powers were siphoned and shared with others which explains why characters like GL WW CM and Supes were struggling with the MK characters
hey Knight wing the reason scorpion is in injustice is the glitch that happened for the Mk vs Dc were they they got transferred to their dimensions is still happening just thought i would let you know. Good video by the way :)
oh hey , on your Injustice: Gods Among Us - Injustice DLC Lobo The Main Man, video Amber comments at 0:50 she noticed lobo on the "hero side" but in this video did you notice lobo was on the "bad-guys side" ? (btw still think Scorpion just looks like Scarecrow on Sinestro's Corp) :)
Love the channel dude, but MK9 was set in an Alternative Reality, and in Scorpion's ending he finds out that Sub Zero didn't kill his clan and they become allies set as the 'deadly alliance' and kick some ass!
In Sub-Zero's ending in the Arcade Mode of Mortal Kombat 9, him and Scorpion finally become friends. They come to the agreement that it was neither Sub-Zero's fault (the older one) that Scorpion's family was killed, nor Scorpion's fault that he killed Sub-Zero (again, the older one). So they decide to wipe out the Lin Kuei together. The ending we all wanted. :)
For EVO's 2013 Injustice Torney, also, I mentioned in the post u replied to was the facthat the updates were patches 4 nerfing him on all 3 consoles. . The 3rd console is the WiiU version. Yea, fancy that.
I don't play StarCraft or Warcraft but im guessing those two games are completely different from two fighting games that had a previous version of both genres clashing DC vs Mortal Kombat.
kwing actually scorpion is a hero he helps take down shao kahn in mortal kombat and is there anyway to get the dlc with out the season pass and what is the seasons pass thing
I didn't see the answer to the question so I thought I'd toss it up. Superman was shown in early comics... post crisis I think, using his own heat vision to shave his stubbles. How he did it I can't remember cause I thought he used a mirror, which doesn't make sense on its face cause the mirror should melt, but I only can be sure I remember that his heat vision was involved
how does putting one MK guest character in not make it a DC fighting game or make it any less of a DC fighting game? there have been guest characters in fighting game for some time (like Soul Calibur)
Marvel/Capcom did something similar. Akuma was in an X-Men fighting game. Also, Superman shaves by reflecting his heat vision off of a mirror onto his face. They actually said it in the Death and Life of Superman novel.
Yes, Superman shaves with his own heat vision. However, supposedly it is with a piece of the spaceship that brought him to earth (that withstands his heat vision so he can shave).
@emonski yes the original voice actor but since Mk vs. DC, mortal kombat 2011, and injustice he's been voiced by Patrick Seitz. It's on the credit of the games plus the wiki page....
the only way i could see supes shaving would be to use a magic razor (magic doesn't kill him, it just makes him vulnerable) or to have someone put kryptonite close enough to him that it made him vulnerable but not kill him. also, dude, you're wife is awesome.
well, since i don't see anyone saying it or rather asking it, is it possible that Scorpion is in this game cause 1. Netherealm wanted the mascot in their game and/or 2. does this mean that DC vs Mortal Kombat is canon in a way for this game?
Scorpion appears human when masked, though this is merely an illusion. Only his skull remains when his true form, sometimes ablaze. Scorpion's most popular and recognized skill is his famous spear attack, which is used to draw an opponent toward him. This attack will also stun the opponent for a short amount of time. Scorpion will shout, "Get over here!" or "Come here!", while executing this technique.
To be fair, getting shot in the head doesn't actually necessarily mean death. Just as Mr. Phineas Gage for details. Also, he'd shave very painfully, and slowly, with a kryptonite-tipped razor.
There was mention of some things about MK, and I can guarantee the story is going to be switched a bit fro the 9 story plot. I can guarantee that it will have a lot to do with Liu Kang becoming an evil god, so not everyone who died is going to remain dead
Ok I just wanted to say that they were saying how Scorpion looks like Ghost rider (well his skull) and i agree but later they said how marvel is bad yes I know they didn't actually say it but they gave the impression) when Ghost rider (The spirit of Vengeance) is from the marvel universe . Do they think ghost rider is from dc if so you need to revisit each universe
I think Supes would have to use one of the minefield clearance/ combine harvester things to shave. PS Melavinto, how would he be able to see his chin, he'd only be able to do whats on his lips
K-Wing, the reboot didn't mess up Sub-Zero and Scorpion's story that bad. Scorpion kills Sub-Zero on the first MK (like he did before) only to find out that it was actually Sub-Zero's brother (like before) and Sub-Zero's brother still becomes Noob Sibot, the change was that instead of Smoke being turned into a robot it was Sub-Zero the one that gor turned, but it still didn't end Sub-Zero and Scorpion's rivalry.
They both have flaming skulls for heads, they both fight with chains, and they're both spirits of vengeance. Does anyone else see this as more than coincidence?
Scorpion, while he may have not fit in, was still pretty cool to see and his redesign makes him look more like a comic book character. If you want something that doesn't make sense, look a Pac Man and BBA Mega Man in SFxT.
scorpion is ace as he is a neutral character after all he is a blade for hire. second of all the realms are called earthrealm, netherrealm,outworld,chaosrealm,orderrealm and edenia. and lets face it since the game was made by mortal kombats creators it would stand to have one mk character. but here is a thought why not have atrocitus and saint walker as dlc characters. we have green and yellow lanterns why not red or blue?
yeah but they did make a whole game where the dc universe and the mc universe where mixed together and the creators of this game are the creators of mortal combat so I guess its kinda like a surprise or gift
K-Wing it's a NetherRealm DC fighting game, and all that purple stuff around Scorpion can lead that Batman's teleporter brought him to the Injustice DC Universe.
I think Scorpion is considered more of an Anti-hero. he's not really out to save the world but at the same time he not part of Shao Khan's army. He is only out for his own vendetta. Mortal Kombat is just a means to an end to him
CraZoVideoZ I dont
Scorpion just killed half of supermans regime
Lol, "I'm trying to think how Scorpion fits into the DC Universe." Thank Ed Boon for giving you a decent fighting game.
Congrats on the 100,000 subs
Your the best youtuber
Thank you for making me remember the hardest game I've ever played, Mortal Kombat mythologies: Sub Zero. Game was a freaking nightmare to beat, and I salute whoever's persisted through it.
Getting injustice ultimate edition for the PS vita was one of the best decisions I have ever made game wise. My favorite character is flash, but scorpion is awesome too, and some of the other characters.
Scorpion is my favorite fighting game character to date.
DC designed the new outfit for scorpion, plus with injustice being an alternate dimension game, he can somewhat fit in
I DO love Scorpion's look in the game, though. It honestly makes me wonder how one could rewrite his backstory so that a version of him could exist in the DC Universe. Like, maybe in this world, he's made a Hellspawn by Hades, and tricked into thinking Batman killed his clan?
Or the original Scorpion is his ancestor that died in kombat against Sub Zero, who also died. Fast forward to a young man named Hanzo Hasashi who dons Scorpion & finds that Batman is none other than a direct descendant of Sub Zero
+Nelo(RS) Seriously a descendent of Scorpion? No. Just no.
Jason Todd Does it look like I sit around brainstorming what if stories for characters with an already established origin? No I dont
+Nelo(RS) Take a chill pill dude.
Jason Todd Cause and effect, not expecting a reaction is hilarious.
Scorpion is perceived by fans as the title's foremost anti-hero. He undertakes actions that benefit the forces of good, albeit in his own gruesome and vigilante manner.

DONT TALK SHIT ABOUT SCORPION.
Scorpion is one of the most known and best Mortal Kombat character and it's amazing that they put him in here. Personally he is my favorite character ever.
scorpion is the man, he's the biggest reason I bought this game
i think kwife is funny! By the way, i really love your vids (: keep up the good work
How is Injustice story mode better than the MK9 story? It is a story that goes through MK1 MK2 and UMK3 with some changes. Are you trying to say that change is BAD?!
Mk9 has a very bad story in my opinion too. Besides almost everything that happened in MK9 was then changed in MKX
Well scorpion being on the heroes side can be justified with his alignment I mk9. Scorpion tends to be very neutral compared to others like quan chi and shang tsung. While he is often seen working with quan chi he doesn't do it voluntary. At least this is what I think
I only came to look at this game because of Scorpion lol
me too
Id take Red Hood over Riddler. But i think the Bat characters are done. What do you think of Batgirl in this?
He doesn't fit into DC, he is like the symbol of Mortal Kombat. And the creators of this game make MK. The creators can do whatever they want. You're lucky they even made this game. And it is one character, deal with it. Additionally, DC characters were already in a MK game, so what goes around comes around.
Well, he's a guest character, and that teleport effect in the intro.
He does fit in the game, he was placed in mainly as a reference to the Xbox 360 and PS3 game Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe
I wish Scorpion was in the story mode.
Why? Mortal kombat 9 is the best of all of the series neterrealm studios worked hard on it so many kambatins dlc story is so longer then mortal kombat vs dc universe look I love scorpion in everything but mortal kombat 9s story is awesome
THANK YOU I love mortal kombat 9
I agree but the worst part of it is that every one dies and then comes back to kill raiden I hate ml x
Harvey Dent Two face we all agree with that
Scorpion is one of the best game characters ever. If they do add Subzero, I would buy the game just for these two characters. I love Scorpion and Subzero, but would love them even more if they weren't enemies.
scorpion is netrual
During the MK vs DC storyline, Raiden explained that the DC characters powers were siphoned and shared with others which explains why characters like GL WW CM and Supes were struggling with the MK characters
I want a wife like this!
Benjamin Callinicos and why did you have to say this?
I know this is late but have u played or seen the new MK X game or read the comic book I heard that the book explains what happend after MK 9 I think
I like how he always notices when he loses a clash, but never notices when he wins one...
hey Knight wing the reason scorpion is in injustice is the glitch that happened for the Mk vs Dc were they they got transferred to their dimensions is still happening just thought i would let you know. Good video by the way :)
At the end of Mortal Kombat (2011) Quan Chi was speaking with Shinnok. I think that's gonna play into the next game. I can't wait! Good video!
well I think it's cool that they added Scorpion into the game because they are the creators of Mortal Kombat
oh hey , on your Injustice: Gods Among Us - Injustice DLC Lobo The Main Man, video Amber comments at 0:50 she noticed lobo on the "hero side" but in this video did you notice lobo was on the "bad-guys side" ? (btw still think Scorpion just looks like Scarecrow on Sinestro's Corp) :)
the way he describes scorpion at 12:50 is actually ermac the red telepathic ninja in mortal kombat.
Love the channel dude, but MK9 was set in an Alternative Reality, and in Scorpion's ending he finds out that Sub Zero didn't kill his clan and they become allies set as the 'deadly alliance' and kick some ass!

Question, why is scorpions end screen a problem? Joker lights you on fire, ares impales you, and black atom shocks you.....
Superman uses a razor that has blue kryptonite as it's blade(s) not sure if Superman is a multi blade user or a straight razor user.
Superman shaved in a cartoon episode by shooting his lazer beams at a mirror which reflected back to his face.
I don't play StarCraft or Warcraft but im guessing those two games are completely different from two fighting games that had a previous version of both genres clashing DC vs Mortal Kombat.
kwing actually scorpion is a hero he helps take down shao kahn in mortal kombat and is there anyway to get the dlc with out the season pass and what is the seasons pass thing
What do you mean next game? MK9 was just a retelling of the events in MK1-MK3.
kwing, are going to do zod dlc too! and you should do buddies like flash and green lantern, cyborg and nightwing!
I didn't see the answer to the question so I thought I'd toss it up. Superman was shown in early comics... post crisis I think, using his own heat vision to shave his stubbles. How he did it I can't remember cause I thought he used a mirror, which doesn't make sense on its face cause the mirror should melt, but I only can be sure I remember that his heat vision was involved
how does putting one MK guest character in not make it a DC fighting game or make it any less of a DC fighting game? there have been guest characters in fighting game for some time (like Soul Calibur)
also, why IS he on the hero side? i guess if Zod really is the last character he'll be put over there to keep it even but...its kind of odd
Marvel/Capcom did something similar. Akuma was in an X-Men fighting game.
Also, Superman shaves by reflecting his heat vision off of a mirror onto his face. They actually said it in the Death and Life of Superman novel.
I have played a green lantern game and I don't know if the red team is bad
Yes, Superman shaves with his own heat vision. However, supposedly it is with a piece of the spaceship that brought him to earth (that withstands his heat vision so he can shave).
It would be cool if Scorpion's Ultimate was an X-Ray instead. And his ending screen would be doing a Fatality on his enemy.
Marco Guise
@emonski yes the original voice actor but since Mk vs. DC, mortal kombat 2011, and injustice he's been voiced by Patrick Seitz. It's on the credit of the games plus the wiki page....
doesn't Superman remove his facial hair with his laser eyes?
the only way i could see supes shaving would be to use a magic razor (magic doesn't kill him, it just makes him vulnerable) or to have someone put kryptonite close enough to him that it made him vulnerable but not kill him.
also, dude, you're wife is awesome.
Heat vision off a mirror or a blue kryptonite razor. If they can have kryptonite gum then they can have a blue kryptonite razor.
Hey Kwing..What would you think would happen if Scorpin was part of the Bat family?
Why Scorption? Why not Lord Soth from Dragonlance? Especially since DC published Lord Soth.
and will you ever play minecraft and when I met to say is do you know if they are makeing a titan joker dlc.
@Riley Farrell, Superman hasn't discovered kryptonite yet in the Man of Steel movie.
well, since i don't see anyone saying it or rather asking it, is it possible that Scorpion is in this game cause 1. Netherealm wanted the mascot in their game and/or 2. does this mean that DC vs Mortal Kombat is canon in a way for this game?
Scorpion appears human when masked, though this is merely an illusion. Only his skull remains when his true form, sometimes ablaze. Scorpion's most popular and recognized skill is his famous spear attack, which is used to draw an opponent toward him. This attack will also stun the opponent for a short amount of time. Scorpion will shout, "Get over here!" or "Come here!", while executing this technique.
is the new 52 that bad? I just got a superman unchained issue and it doesn't seem a total waste of money.
Awesome video Kwings!
I love scorpion!
Does anybody else notice Shao Kahn has no legs or arms? Pause it at 37 seconds on the timeline.
hey can u say in your next video what day or days are u going to be in e3
To be fair, getting shot in the head doesn't actually necessarily mean death. Just as Mr. Phineas Gage for details. Also, he'd shave very painfully, and slowly, with a kryptonite-tipped razor.
There was mention of some things about MK, and I can guarantee the story is going to be switched a bit fro the 9 story plot. I can guarantee that it will have a lot to do with Liu Kang becoming an evil god, so not everyone who died is going to remain dead
and kwing scorpion was actually portraid by john pesina and toasty was his skull fatality and he does it in every game
I have to correct them ghost rider looks like scorpion since scorpion came first correct me if I am wrong.
Ok I just wanted to say that they were saying how Scorpion looks like Ghost rider (well his skull) and i agree but later they said how marvel is bad yes I know they didn't actually say it but they gave the impression) when Ghost rider (The spirit of Vengeance) is from the marvel universe . Do they think ghost rider is from dc if so you need to revisit each universe
Scorpion's clan is called the Shirai Ryu (pronounced "She-Rai Re-You"), and his real name is Hanzo Hasashi.
Yep
I think Supes would have to use one of the minefield clearance/ combine harvester things to shave. PS Melavinto, how would he be able to see his chin, he'd only be able to do whats on his lips
Just saying scorpion does have an encounter with dc characters in dc vs mortal combat so they do relate to an extend.
K-Wing, the reboot didn't mess up Sub-Zero and Scorpion's story that bad. Scorpion kills Sub-Zero on the first MK (like he did before) only to find out that it was actually Sub-Zero's brother (like before) and Sub-Zero's brother still becomes Noob Sibot, the change was that instead of Smoke being turned into a robot it was Sub-Zero the one that gor turned, but it still didn't end Sub-Zero and Scorpion's rivalry.
Could you and Kwife play other fighting games like Street Fighter?
They both have flaming skulls for heads, they both fight with chains, and they're both spirits of vengeance. Does anyone else see this as more than coincidence?
Theres a typo in the description k wing. Just wanted to let you know.
.
let me guess you saw him shave. ps. was it hard to beat scorpion in mk.vsdc?
Scorpion, while he may have not fit in, was still pretty cool to see and his redesign makes him look more like a comic book character. If you want something that doesn't make sense, look a Pac Man and BBA Mega Man in SFxT.
Superman shave by getting by a mirror and using his heat vision to shave. Its in a comic. the cartoon show, and a movie.
The new 52 isnt entirely bad. Also you should do superman and rogues and wonderwoman in honor of man of steel
scorpions clan name is Shin Rai Ryu isn't it?
How dare u GET OVER HERE *(in scorpian voice)*
kwing do you know if they might make a titan joker from the batman arkam asylum game
The MK9 story is the actual story or mk besides a few twists and turns..
Oh I am definitely going to get this game. And to answer your question...Supes would reflect his heat vision off a mirror on his face.
scorpion is ace as he is a neutral character after all he is a blade for hire. second of all the realms are called earthrealm, netherrealm,outworld,chaosrealm,orderrealm and edenia. and lets face it since the game was made by mortal kombats creators it would stand to have one mk character. but here is a thought why not have atrocitus and saint walker as dlc characters. we have green and yellow lanterns why not red or blue?
did anyone notice when he fighted the flash it is the the same set from the scarecrow boss fight batman arkham city
No. Ermac is the one with all the souls. They said so in mk9. So unless mk9 is wrong, Ermac has all the souls
yeah but they did make a whole game where the dc universe and the mc universe where mixed together and the creators of this game are the creators of mortal combat so I guess its kinda like a surprise or gift
kwing did you notice that some and a fortress of solitude and came back to the fortress
K-Wing it's a NetherRealm DC fighting game, and all that purple stuff around Scorpion can lead that Batman's teleporter brought him to the Injustice DC Universe.
so does this mean the mortal combat universe in now part of the dc universe?
Doesnt joker set you on fire as his ending screen..?
I have a ps3 and have the season why cant I find scorpion in the store???
Hey Kwing, how do you use that laser thing in the Fortress of Solitude? Plz reply!
Kwing who will win a fight Scorpion or Doomday
wel he takes a mirror he shoots with his heat devision he shoots at the mirrior the heat devision strikes back and he then shaves
Can u please do a video of your thoughts on the new 52 comics?
why is scorpion is in a dc game isnt he from mortal combat
i knid of do liek 9 because he kills sub zero it was awesome and i was happy and what happened to the other guy in the third one with quan chi
