== Cyber Sub-Zero ==
[[File:cybersubzero-mk9port_8134mk9port 8134.jpg|frame|''"You are not so fearsome!"'']]
 
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Jim Miller}}
 
{{quote| In the original canon, Sub-Zero and Smoke attempted to escape from the Lin Kuei's automation program, but Smoke was still captured and forcibly turned into an cybernetic assassin.}}
 
{{quote| During ''Mortal Kombat 9'''s story, Smoke is about to be captured by a team of robotic Lin Kuei until Raiden, who has been receiving premonitions of the future, intervenes and destroys the assault team. This, in turn, leads to Sub-Zero being captured instead of Smoke. Cyber Sub-Zero is the end result of that and also receives a story chapter in Story Mode.}}
 
For other tropes which apply to him, check the [[Mortal Kombat 2/Characters|second game's character sheet]]. This is only for additional tropes which appear in this game.
 
* [[An Ice Person]]
* [[And I Must Scream]]: He {{spoiler|remembers every horrific deed he committed under Shao Kahn while a cyborg}}, but was unable to go against his programming. {{spoiler|And then it happens again after Quan Chi binds his soul to him}}. He just can't catch a break.
* [[An Ice Person]]: He ''is'' Sub-Zero, after all. He shares many of his moves with his human self.
* [[Battle Aura]]: His body even emanates an icy mist.
* [[BFS]]: Made of ice, naturally.
* {{spoiler|[[Body Snatcher]]: Shao Kahn's soul [[Oh Crap|does this to Sub-Zero]] in his arcade ending.}}.
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]:
** Ultimately subverted when {{spoiler|Kabal}} knocks him out, allowing {{spoiler|Jax}} to reformat him and restore his conscience.
Line 43 ⟶ 29:
* [[Taking You with Me]]: His first Fatality. Cyber Sub-Zero latches onto his opponent [[Dragon Ball|Saibaman-style]] and self-destructs, leaving nothing behind except for his frozen lower body.
* [[Teleport Spam]]: In a fashion similar to Cyrax.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: As if Sub-Zero needed it or anything, but still.
** After {{spoiler|his soul and free will are returned}}, he goes on to defeat Sektor, utterly ''wrecks'' Goro and Kintaro in a one-on-two fight, knocks Ermac's block off, and then gets to beat some sense into his big brother Noob Saibot.
** Subverted in the end, as {{spoiler|Sindel slaughters him to the ground}}.
** Gameplay-wise, he has twice as many special moves as regular Sub-Zero, and he hits faster.
* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]: Kuai Liang is captured and turned into a cyborg against his will with his mind controlled initially, thanks to Raiden's meddling with the timeline sparing Smoke from this fate.
* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]
 
 
== Skarlet ==
[[File:skarlet-mk9_763mk9 763.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Dana Lyn Baron}}
 
{{quote| Shao Kahn has many warriors under his command, but his trust lies solely in the fighters of his own creation. Warrior blood gathered from countless battlefields, fused with sorcery, produced his most effective enforcer yet: Skarlet. }}
 
{{quote| An expert tracker, she preys on those deemed enemies of the empire. During kombat, Skarlet gains strength from her opponent's blood, absorbing it through her skin. Shao Kahn has a new mission for this formidable kombatant: discover Quan Chi's true intentions and kill him if he plots betrayal of the emperor.}}
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]/[[Ascended Glitch]]: Like Ermac and Blaze, she was born from an initial rumor. In the older arcade games, [[Palette Swap|Kitana, Mileena, and Jade]] sometimes appeared in red outfits due to a programming glitch; fans named the glitch-character Scarlet (or Skarlet, if you prefer). Fans found her [[Dummied Out]], and the first batch of DLC has revealed her.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her default outfit in ''Mortal Kombat 9'' is essentially a really skimpy bikini.
* [[Blood Lust]]: Just look at her Fatalities... Skarlet might very well be [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]] ''personified''.
* [[Blood Magic]]/[[Bloody Murder]]: Shao Kahn created her from magically fused blood collected off of battlefields, she enters fights via a pool of blood, and she also uses a projectile attack that's like a blood version of Johnny Cage's. According to her ending, {{spoiler|she also grows stronger when the blood of others splashes upon her skin.}}.
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: After not appearing at all in ''Mortal Kombat 10'', she reappaears in ''Mortal Kombat 11''.
* [[The Cameo]]: In Story Mode, she appears among the entrants in the background during both Shang Tsung's Mortal Kombat tournament and Shao Kahn's Outworld tournament.
* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: Using her Blood Ball drains her health.
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Used in her [[Eye Scream]]-worthy X-Ray Attack.
* [[Contract on the Hitman|Contract]]: OnHer Thesiding Sorcerer]]with Reiko ultimately leads Shao Kahn's other assassin, Mileena, to turn on her.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: In her introduction in ''Mortal Kombat 9'', the only newcomer among the DLC characters. She's on the starting roster in ''Mortal Kombat 11''.
* [[Downloadable Content]]
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: According to her storyline. She's nothing more than a construct of the blood of fallen warriors mixed with sorcery and made to be [[Undying Loyalty|entirely loyal to Shao Kahn]]; additionally, {{spoiler|her strength increases when the blood of other fighters comes in contact with her skin.}}. Essentially, Skarlet is to blood as Ermac is to souls.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Her weapons of choice appear to be throwing knives.
* [[Lady in Red]]
* [[Leave No Survivors]]: Anybody opposing Shao Kahn's empire is fair game for her to go after, although Quan Chi takes priority {{spoiler|and by said control she unwillingly kills her own master Shao Kahn.}}.
* [[Mistaken Identity]]: A meta example. ''Many'' mistook her for Kira at first. When Ed Boon [http://twitpic.com/2n1by5 leaked her leg in a Twitter pic,] she was originally believed to be a redesign for Sareena or Sindel.
* [[Picky People Eater]]: While not choosy about victims overall, in ''Mortal Kombat 11'', she claims Edenian blood is something of a delicacy for her.
* [[Power Echoes]]
* [[Power Echoes]]: Her mask in ''Mortal Kombat 11'' gives her voice a metallic tinge.
* [[Power Limiter]]: The reason you see her chained up in Kahn's Arena, despite the fact that Kahn ''created'' her.
* [[Retcon]]: In ''Mortal Kombat 11'', her origin is reworked; rather than a product of Shao Kahn's Flesh Pits, she's a former homeless orphan whom he found begging on the streets and mentored in the ways of [[Blood Magic]].
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Given that she appears as early as the ''MK1Mortal Kombat 1'' portions of the story, she's at least a minor case of this.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: {{spoiler|Once Quan Chi's mind control wears off, and she realizes what she has done by killing her master Shao Kahn, it is ''on''.}}.
* [[Screaming Warrior]]: She speaks as much as Reptile does in this game, yet seems to be as proficient as Liu Kang in terms of [[Kiai|warcries]].
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Both of her outfits in ''Mortal Kombat 9'' have her wear knee high boots that show off her legs.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Much like her fellow female fighters, but she appears be wearing ''even less'' than them.
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: After not talking at all in ''Mortal Kombat 9'', she speaks lines in many scenes in ''Mortal Kombat 11''.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Shao Kahn, as he created her to have such. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, this doesn't stop her from being mind controlled.}}.

{{quote|''"You will not see the end of this day!"''|'''Fight intro'''}}
 
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Terrence Carson (credited as T.C. Carson)}}
 
{{quote| An exclusive character for the [[Play Station 3|PS3]] version of the game, Kratos is the main character of the ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' series, making his second fighting game appearance since ''[[Soul Series|Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny]]''.}}
 
{{quote| For other tropes which apply to him, check the ''[[God of War (series)/Characters|GoWGod of War]]'' [[God of War (series)/Characters|character sheet]]. This is only for these tropes which appear in this game.}}
 
** [[Little Miss Badass|Little Mister BadassAdorable]]: Usually when a Babality happens, the victim usually does something funny, then realizing their failure throw a tantrum. What does Kratos do? {{spoiler|Yank the head off of a Medusa plushie and display it proudly.}}. Not only that, but Baby Kratos still has his six pack and [[Badass Beard]]. Even as an infant he's still a BAMF.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Much like his home series, Kratos lacks hair on his scalp.

What does Kratos do? {{spoiler|Yank the head off of a Medusa plushie and display it proudly.}} Not only that but Baby Kratos still has his six pack and [[Badass Beard]]. Even as an infant he's still a BAMF.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Not above blinding his opponent with the head of Helios before attacking him.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Defiant to the End]]: Born of [[Executive Meddling]]. Sony didn't want one of their most iconic [[Badass|Badasses]]es looking weak in the game, so Kratos is the only character who keeps up his menacing sneer even during X-Ray Attacks and Fatalities. He still makes the appropriate grunts and spits blood and such, though.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Guest Fighter]]: From ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]''. As the [https://web.archive.org/web/20151012110229/http://www.1up.com/news/kratos-mortal-kombat-characters-accidentally-leaked 1Up article said,], this role could be the best fit for him.

* [[Quick Time Event]]: As part of his moveset.
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: His arcade ending. {{spoiler|Possibly the only time a god has shown him respect without being back stabbed.}} .
* [[The Unexpected]]
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: He brings along an impressive arsenal from ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]] 3'', including:
** [[The Archer|Bow of Apollo]]: As one of his specials. The normal attack fires two, the enhanced attack fires three.
Line 115 ⟶ 102:
== Freddy Krueger ==
 
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Patrick Seitz]]}}
 
{{quote| The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]''. Appears here as he did in [[A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010|the remake]].}}
 
{{quote| A malevolent spirit of the Dream Realm, Freddy Krueger preys on the souls of the living as they sleep. When Shao Kahn began to steal Earthrealm's souls - (souls Freddy considered his own -), Freddy battled the emperor in the Dream Realm. But Shao Kahn's will was too strong. He pulled Freddy into the real world, where he was mortal, and defeated him. A badly injured yet determined Freddy fitted both his hands with demonically enhanced razor gloves. Once he has killed Shao Kahn, he will find a way back to the Dream Realm, where he will torment Earthrealm's souls for eternity.}}
 
{{quote| For other tropes which apply to him, check the ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street/Characters|A Nightmare On Elm Street]]'' [[A Nightmare on Elm Street/Characters|character sheet]]. This is only for these tropes which appear in this game.}}
 
* [[And I Must Scream]]: His second fatality involves him throwing his opponent into a boiler he summoned, and closing the door of said boiler.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: His shushing of the opponent during a throw, as well as the sarcastic wave goodbye during his boiler fatality.
** [[Silent Snarker]]
* [[De-Power]]: Shao Kahn pulled Freddy into the real world to deprive him of his Dream Realm immortality.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: His shushing of the opponent during a throw, as well as the sarcastic wave goodbye during his boiler fatality.
* [[Downloadable Content]]
* [[Downloadable Content]]: He was the fourth and final DLC character released for the game.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Two of his only voiced lines in the game are a sinister chuckle and a hearty laugh when he commits a fatality.
* [[Full-Name Basis]]: On the character selection screen, he's the only other character besides Johnny Cage whose last name is displayed and read by the announcer. During gameplay, however, his victories are only announced with "Freddy wins.".
* [[Guest Fighter]]
* [[Guest Fighter]]: From the ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' series. Notably, he's the first of five guest characters in the series to hail from horror films
* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: His first fatality involves him physically dragging his opponent into the dream realm, leaving only a fountain of blood where they once stood, [[Shout-Out|just like in the movies.]].
* [[Jump Scare]]: His Babality has the camera pan into the carriage to show a slash-marked teddy bear... and then baby Freddy attacks the camera.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In his ending, Nightwolf's attempt to seal him away so that he can no longer harm the people of Earthrealm only puts Freddy right back into the Dream Realm, the place he's most at home at, so he can continue his killing rampage.
* [[Nightmare Face]]: Covered in burns, as always.
* [[Silent Snarker]]: Played with: one of his attacks involves him telling his opponent, "Shhh".
* [[The Unexpected]]
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Now on ''both hands''.
