* [[Base Breaking Character|Base-Breaking Character]]:
** Frost. You like her for being a notable [[Evil Counterpart]] to Sub-Zero and an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] in her own or hate her for being an unnecesary clone of him.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Kenshi. One of the few post ''MK3'' characters to earn unanimous praise from the fanbase, to the point of being [http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np7/mk9-dlc.jpg among the first] [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] reveals for [[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|the 2011 game]].▼
** Drahmin is either a character with a lot of potential in the story or an annoying addition to the cast (see [[The Scrappy]] below).
** Mavado has both fans and haters alike. Those who like him for being a [[Foil]] to Kano and being apparently the only decent Red Dragon of the cast (unlike his widely hated subordinate Hsu Hao) and those who hate him for apparently killing Kabal and stealing the latter's signature hookswords.
** Bo' Rai Cho, needless to say.

** He also shows up in the second season of ''[[Mortal Kombat Legacy]]'', again being the only character from anything beyond ''Mortal Kombat 3'' to make an appearance.
** To a lesser extent, Li Mei. Her [[Plucky Girl]] attitude also helps.
** Other popular debuting characters are Frost and Nitara.
* [[Ethnic Scrappy]]: Hsu Hao is widely hated for being a bad Mongolian stereotype. See [[The Scrappy]] below.
* [[Foe Yay]]: [[Mentor Ship|Frost towards Sub-Zero.]] Her ''multiple'' [[Designated Girl Fight]]s with Sonya (twice in the interim between ''4'' and ''Deadlly Alliance'' and again during ''Armageddon'') could also count.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Certain characters had "impale" attacks with their weapons which would constantly sap life from the opponent until they keeled over. Granted, these attacks could be blocked, but there's a reason they never resurfaced in ''Deception'' and ''Armageddon''.
* [["Grand Theft Auto" Effect]]: Adema's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qYojOT1laE "Immortal".]
* [[Ho Yay]]: Mavado with Hsu Hao.
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Mavado is hated mainly for replacing Kabal, and to add an insult to this injury, apparently killed the latter and then stole his trademark hookswords. It earned the ire of Kabal's fans.
* [[The Scrappy]]:
** Hsu Hao. [[Creator Backlash|Even the devs hate him]].

** Drahmin, although not to the extent of Hsu Hao, also earns a similar reaction from the fans. Ed Boon notes that he's one of his two least favorite characters (the other being Hsu Hao), and he's unpopular with fans due to how newcomer-unfriendly his playstyle is. The flies swarming him and [[Most Annoying Sound|constantly buzzing]] was a rather distracting nuisance.
** And then we have his buddy [[SNK Boss|Moloch]]...
