Here we're going to list the characters introduced in the spin-off ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero
== Quan Chi ==
[[File:quan-chi_6867.png|frame|''"You will serve me in the Netherrealm!"'']]
{{quote| '''Other appearances:''' ''[[
{{quote| A sorcerer from the Netherrealm, Quan Chi is quite easily the most [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|treacherous]] character in all the games. While originally supposed to serve the Elder God Shinnok, Quan Chi's true allegiance is only to himself, and he will make and break deals with anyone if it furthers his goals. Quan Chi, contrary to most characters in the series, does not actually belong to either a mortal race or the myriad gods: he used to be an oni, a demonic torturer from hell, who eventually took a humanoid form.}}
{{quote| Quan Chi has had a behind-the-scenes presence through a myriad of major events in the series' history. Serving Shinnok, he directly caused the deaths of both Scorpion (and his clan and family...) and the original Sub-Zero, was the one who revived Sindel in order to facilitate Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm, released Shinnok from his imprisonment in the Netherrealm, and brought about Liu Kang's death during the events of ''[[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
{{quote| During the events of both ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero

----
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Actually a Doombot]]: Baraka's non-canon ending in ''[[Mortal Kombat 4
* [[Badass Baritone]]: Don't even deny it.
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Big No]]: When Scorpion [[Taking You
* [[Canon Immigrant]] ''and'' [[Ascended Extra]]: He appeared first in the ''Defenders of the Realm'' cartoon, with a whole episode where he used a magic jewel to increase the evil emotions in everyone's hearts except Nightwolf. Game-wise, he was introduced in both ''Mythologies'' and ''4'' at the same time as a major character.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: There is not a single character he's allied or bargained with that he didn't later betray.
Line 45:
* [[Facial Markings]]
* [[Filler Villain]]: In ''Defenders of the Realm'', he was only around for one episode and didn't show up after that. [[Ascended Extra|Not so much in the games.]]
* [[Grievous Harm
** His Leg Rip fatality in ''4'' and ''9'', where he tears your leg off and beats you to death with it, was his favorite.
** In ''Deadly Alliance'', he stretches your neck to cartoony proportions, and while he does it, it can be assumed that he's tearing your spinal kord from the rest of your nerves while keeping your head attached. It's basically Sub-Zero's head rip, but far less bloody.
Line 52:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Quan Chi is the one who killed Scorpion's family & clan, ''not'' Sub-Zero. He told Scorpion that it was the younger Sub-Zero, because he wanted Scorpion on his & Shinnok's side during the events of ''MK4''.
** He does it ''again'' with Scorpion and the elder Sub-Zero during ''MK9''. In the process, {{spoiler|Scorpion's now a MUCH more willing pawn for him}}, and he has also secured {{spoiler|Noob Saibot}} as his servant. {{spoiler|He might also be manipulating ''Raiden himself'', if Raiden's visit to the Netherrealm and the Stinger at game's end are any indication}}.
* [[Necromancer]]: As seen in [[Cutscene Power to
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: In Baraka's ''Gold'' ending.
* [[People Puppets]]: Some of his moves allow him to control his opponent's body for a short period of time. Prime example of this is his X-Ray move in ''9''.
Line 58:
* [[Secret Character]]: Beat the Story Mode in ''9'' to unlock him.
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: His win pose in ''9''.
* [[So Long, Suckers!]]: Closely watch the intro to ''Deception''. {{spoiler|Quan Chi makes a getaway ''seconds'' before Raiden's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] [[Taking You
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Present on his original armor from ''Mythologies'' and ''4'', but also included to a degree in his current attire.
* [[The Starscream]]: To Shinnok.
Line 70:
[[File:sareena_889.png|frame|''"I am not a being of Light. I am a demon of the Netherrealm, a servant of Quan Chi."'']]
{{quote| '''Other appearances:''' ''[[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
{{quote| Sareena is one of [[Evil Sorcerer|Quan Chi]]'s personal assassins. She and her [[Amazon Brigade|two partners]], Kia and Jataaka, were ordered to kill Sub-Zero before he reached Quan Chi. They were defeated, but Sub-Zero strangely spared Sareena's life. Later, as Sub-Zero battled Quan Chi, Sareena suddenly appeared and did a [[Heel Face Turn]] by helping him in defeating the sorcerer. After expressing her desire to escape the Netherealm with him, she's shot in the back with a bolt of energy by Shinnok. She collapses into an enraged Sub-Zero's arms and seems to die...}}
{{quote| ... Turns out after the events of the game that the only thing Shinnok destroyed was [[The Heartless|her human form]]. In ''[[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
{{quote| Shortly after regaining her human form, Sareena encountered [[Mortal Kombat 2
{{quote| In ''Armageddon'', it is revealed that Sareena followed Sub-Zero into the Netherrealm, saving him from [[Mortal Kombat Deception
-----
Line 121:
* [[Woman in Black]]: Strangely, in such a dark setting where black is particularly prominent for guys, she is about the only female to don a black outfit.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: Her efforts to be freed from her demonic side are often met with failure.
** [[Throw the Dog
Line 138:
* [[Blow You Away]]
* [[Braids of Action]]: In ''Armageddon'', his hair is adorned more lavishly than it was back in ''Mythologies'' and ''4''. And yes, this is a rare male example of this trope.
* [[The Cameo]]: In ''9'', in [[God of War (
* [[Composite Character]]: Shinnok is the Wind God in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Before appearing in ''4'' and ''Armageddon'', he was a [[Mid Boss]] in ''Mythologies''.
* [[Everything's Better
** [[Spin Attack]]
* [[Flight]]: In ''Mythologies'', the player can't throw him to the void. This is how he recovers from his supposed death in that game. Also, he has a torpedo move similar to that of Raiden.
* [[Hoist
* [[Badass Long Hair|Long]] [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Mentors]]: He becomes this to Kung Lao, similar to Raiden and Liu Kang.
Line 160:
{{quote| Shinnok is a former elder god and current ruler of the Netherrealm. Originally, he wanted to take Earthrealm for himself to gain immense power. To make sure he could freely enter Earthrealm without being detected, he created a special amulet which discreetly weakened the dimensional barriers. However, with the help of the other Elder Gods, Raiden discovers his plot and defeats him in battle, banishing him to the Netherrealm for good. There, he suffered constant torture until he met the sorcerer Quan Chi. With his help, Lucifer was dethroned and Shinnok became the new ruler with Quan Chi as his arch-sorcerer and right-hand man.}}
{{quote| During the events of both ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero
{{quote| In ''Armageddon'', Shinnok tricked Taven into helping him, claiming that he was no longer an Elder God for getting involved with the affairs of mortals. He wished for him to defeat the demons that inhabit his throne and he would try to locate Daegon as a reward. He successfully does the task and Shinnok tells Taven that he is most likely in Earthrealm. As he leaves, it is revealed that Shinnok [[The Man Behind the Man|was helping]] Daegon who was hiding in Netherrealm. In addition, it was Shinnok who alerted the many combatants to the prize at the top of the Pyramid of Argus, telling them that whomever obtained this power would be granted godlike power. His ending reveals that Shinnok created a clone of his own self to assist Daegon in ''Armageddon''. His clone was killed off shortly after defeating Kung Lao, unable to complete his objective.}}
{{quote| He makes a brief cameo in ''[[
-----
Line 170:
* [[Amplifier Artifact]]: His Amulet and his Amulet Staff. Both are used to drastically increase his powers to the point of nigh-[[Immortality]] (even beyond his [[Physical God]] status).
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Raiden, who cast him into the Netherrealm millenia before the main series started.
* [[Author Avatar]]: His ''[[
* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: He was the one who spread word of the prize of god-like power in ''Armageddon'', in order to make them die when Daegon killed Blaze. While Daegon failed, he was still able to win because most of his enemies had killed each other trying to get the prize leaving only him, Shao Kahn, Taven, and Liu Kang's spirit alive.
** Also, {{spoiler|in ''[[
* [[Big Bad]]: Of ''4''. {{spoiler|If the ending of ''9'' is any indication, he'll possibly be this in a future game.}}
** [[Bigger Bad]] he was a former elder god and controlled the Big Bad of the entire series Shao Khan.
Line 178:
* [[The Chessmaster]]: [[The Man Behind the Man]] to Daegon and is trusted by Taven (who is unaware that he had fallen), and pits the two against each other. He seems to have a greater awareness of what is going on than most other heroes and villans, and he chooses to use an avatar for the final battle rather than show up in person. {{spoiler|It is implied in ''Mortal Kombat 9'' that the entirety of that game is a result of his machinations in ''Armageddon''.}} Quite impressive, though he's as much of an [[Anticlimax Boss]] as a fighter as he ever was (even if, granted, he's not technically a boss).
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: His Amulet is technically the seventh Kamidogu. If Shujinko had collected the item and placed it on the altar alongside the other relics, it would have been sent to the Elder Gods [[Blatant Lies|as Onaga told Shujinko originally]]. When combined with the Kamidogu, its power would have allowed Onaga to reshape the realms.
* [[Composite Character]]: Shinnok is the Wind God in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
* [[The Corrupter]]: Preys on Daegon's fears of being [[The Unfavourite]] to get him to kill his parents.
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: He could also switch between the other characters' moves with ease.
Line 192:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Pretty much his shtick in ''Mythologies'', although he's [[Out-Gambitted]] by {{spoiler|Quan Chi, who took the real Dragon Amulet for himself}}. Also, see "[[Actually a Doombot]]/[[Fighting a Shadow]]" above.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: His goal is to consume all the energies of everything. [[Pet the Dog|Except Quan Chi]].
** Actually, Shinnok's reward for Quan Chi was [[Blessed
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: In ''Mythologies'', {{spoiler|he transforms into a scary-ass demon... thing... as soon as Sub-Zero takes the amulet, but fighting him in this form is optional (and very difficult, though it unlocks a [[Hilarious Outtakes|game blooper reel]]), as a portal leading to the end of the game opens up anyway}}.
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Power Floats]]: In ''Mythologies''.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Is not happy with his fellow Elder Gods for casting him down.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Sorcerous Overlord]]
* [[Stealth Mentor]]/[[Treacherous Advisor]]: To elder Sub-Zero in ''Mythologies'' (this is non-canon, though; Scorpion will fight you where you encounter Shinnok instead if you killed him back in the first stage, which is what actually happened). Pulls this again in ''Armageddon'' with Taven.
Line 224:
== Water God ==
* [[Gender Flip]]: He's female in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
* [[Literally Shattered Lives]]: Each time you freeze and punch him.
* [[Making a Splash]]
Line 230:
* [[No Name Given]]: Though [[Fanon|fans]] gave him the name "Kumari."
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Teleport Spam]]: Has teleports similar to those of [[Mortal Kombat 3
* [[You Are Already Dead]]: How he dies.
Line 236:
== Fire God ==
* [[Glass Cannon]] ''and'' [[Mighty Glacier]]: Hard as hell to hit, strong attacks, but also slow.
* [[Kill It
* [[Mid Boss]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[No Name Given]]: Though [[Fanon|fans]] gave him the name "Hinoka."
* [[Physical God]]: Can be described as Raiden if he was a fire elemental.
* [[Playing
* [[Teleport Spam]]: Has one similar to Raiden's.
