Line 11:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: Inverted: while he is colored blue, he is much more primal and vicious than Drahmin (if the latter is wearing his mask). Both are still Red in the overall scale.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]
* [[Epic Flail]]: The Orb he carries around. And it's really more like a giant bowling ball.
* [[Epic Flail]]
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Humans are apparently Oni delicacies. In order to keep the two Oni in allegiance to him, Shang Tsung locked them in a chamber where he fed them humans at regular intervals.
* [[Informed Ability]]: We never see him actually eat a baby.
Line 28:
[[File:MK Drahmin 7879.gif|frame]]
 
* [[Cool Mask]]: [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Which he removes while switching styles.]].
* [[The Faceless]]
* [[Flies Equals Evil]]: He is constantly surrounded by a swarm of "rot flies" which he can command to attack his opponent in battle.
Line 36:
* [[Red Baron]]: The Oni Tormentor.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Inverted: though colored red, he is far more precise in his violence, using torture as opposed to smashing stuff. Unless he takes his mask off, and of course, ''both'' more Red than Blue.
* [[Restraining Bolt]]: His mask keeps him from going berserk and using Oni style instead of Netherrealm. [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|He doesn't take it off when you switch styles, though, and his alternate costume lets you use Netherrealm.]].
* [[Revenge]]: See Moloch's entry above.
* [[Shoryuken]]: His Super Uppercut special, delivered via his iron club-encased right arm. Ouch...
Line 42:
* [[Spin Attack]]: His Propeller Clock special has Drahmin swinging his arms around like a windmill.
* [[Underwear of Power]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: [[Squick|Ugh.]].
* [[Was Once a Man]]: Originally, he was a human warlord before becoming an oni after being tortured in the Netherrealm. [[Fridge Horror|Which explains why he's a skinless corpse.]].
** His non-canon ending in ''Deadly Alliance'' implies that he became a higher being like Quan Chi after entering the inner sanctum located in Quan Chi's fortress.
 
Line 101:
 
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: As you can see to your right, her first outfit in ''Deception'' has this. It's also present, to varying degrees, in her other outfits.
* [[Action Girl]]: Part of her backstory involved Kano being impressed with her skills, after all.
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]: Although she's from Outworld.
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]] ([[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type III]])}}: In her ''Deception'' ending, she {{spoiler|joins Onaga}}, but [[Start of Darkness|when you consider her history]], it's easy to see why she would want to {{spoiler|help Onaga take over all of existence}}.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Again, from ''Deception'' onward.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: To say she got it rough is an understatement.
* [[Combat Stilettos|Combat Sandals]]: Wears wooden geta in her debut, but loses them after Shang Tsung and Quan Chi's attempt to steal her soul. She then switches to heels like most of the ladies afterward.
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: Li Mei's non-canon ending in ''Deception''. Leads to [[Unholy Matrimony]] with Onaga}}.
Line 127:
* [[Stripperiffic]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: After the events of ''Deadly Alliance''.
* [[Underwear of Power]]: In her alternate and primary from ''Deadly Alliance'' and ''Deception'' respectively.
* [[Xenafication]]: In ''Deception''. Hardened by her ordeals and [[Near-Death Experience]] in ''Deadly Alliance'', Li Mei becomes less sweet and more of a battle-oriented warrior. This is reflected by her alternate costume; as Bo' Rai Cho was not fully successful in saving Li Mei, she took on some of the aspects of the Dragon King's soldiers, reflecting the partial [[The Corruption|corruption]] of her soul. This also comes with a price; as Li Mei is technically one of Onaga's soldiers, she is magnetically drawn towards him, {{spoiler|culminating in her non-canon [[Face Heel Turn]] in her ''Deception'' ending}}.
* [[You Are Already Dead]]: One of her ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deception|Deception]]'' fatalities, delivered via [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]].
Line 140:
* [[Back from the Dead]]: At the end of ''Deadly Alliance'', Jax rips Hsu Hao's cybernetic heart out. He's back in ''Armageddon'' as if nothing ever happened.
* [[Badass Mustache]]: Barely skirts by with his pencil-thin stache.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: His alternate shows him to be this.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: He's got a pointy little-soul patch.
* [[Chest Blaster]]: Instead of a heart, Hsu Hao has a pulsating cybernetic implant that fires lasers.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: His [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCqmmJ87pg Kombat Kard's] bio says this.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Mavado.
* [[Exotic Weapon Supremacy]]: His Sun-Moon is one of the more ornately-crafted weapons out there.
* [[Beard of Evil|Goatee Of Evil]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]
* [[The Mole]]: Sent by Mavado to pose as a member of the Chinese secret military and aid the Special Forces in catching and killing Black Dragon members. This allowed Hsu Hao to get close enough to the OIWA and destroy it and its portal system after the Red Dragon's rival clan had been wiped out.
Line 152:
* [[Shockwave Clap]]: His Khan Klap special.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Toward Mavado. [[Ambiguously Gay|Sometimes taken a bit too far.]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Doesn't wear a shirt in any of his apperances.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: His second fighting style in ''Deadly Alliance'' is Wrestling and one of his throws is a backbreaker.
 
Line 172:
* [[Chainmail Bikini|Breast Plate]]
* [[Combat Stilettos]]
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Justified since she's a vampire. Though they're not so cute when she is burrowing them deep into your neck in her fatality.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Her headband covers her left eye.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: An odd variant. While she ''is'' a [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]], Nitara relies less on her abundance of sex appeal, preferring to use her brains to her advantage.
Line 190:
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: The gemstone around her neck allows Nitara to freely traverse the realms. With a magical incantation, she can also send other characters to their home realms, as seen with Cyrax in ''Deadly Alliance''.
* [[Vampiric Draining]]: Her throw and Fatality involve sucking the blood out of her opponent's neck, with the former actually restoring some of her health when used.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]:
** [[Wings Do Nothing]]: Averted. She actually uses them for quick escape maneuvers in her moveset in ''Deadly Alliance'', but this feature (along with [[Status Buff|taunts]]) was largely removed by the time of ''Armageddon''.
 
Line 197:
[[File:MK Frost 0021 5040.jpg|frame]]
 
* [[An Ice Person]]: A cryomancer like Sub-Zero.
* [[An Ice Suit]]: Shows a bit more skin than the male variant, but still modest for a female Cyromancer.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Lampshaded in ''Deadly Alliance'', which states that she uses a brand of hair gel called [http://images.wikia.com/mk/images/2/26/Frost%27s_Arctic_Hold.jpg Arctic Hold] to keep her hairdo intact.
Line 203:
* [[Combat Stilettos]]
* [[Cryonics Failure]]: Her [[Literally Shattered Lives|Ice Shatter]] Fatality begins with this. Frost follows up by [[300|Sparta Kicking]] the frozen body.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Has icy blue eyes to match her bluish-white hair.
* [[Deceptive Disciple]]: To Sub-Zero. His reason for keeping her around is to try and redeem her, but this seems less and less likely with each subsequent game.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: She's pretty much a female Sub-Zero. Given that he was her master, [[Justified Trope]].
Line 214:
* [[She Fu]]: Unlike her sifu, who slides around [[X-Men|Iceman]]-style to escape from sticky situations in ''Deadly Alliance'', Frost prefers to perform backflips. [[Subverted Trope]], however, in that several of the male characters (such as Shang Tsung and Hsu Hao) ''also'' use backflips to escape.
* [[The Starscream]]: She tries to take over the Lin Kuei.
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Especially as a cage fighter in the ''[[Mortal Kombat X]]'' prequel comics.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, Light and Bishoujo]]: Aloofness is one of her defining characteristics.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Ice Blue Hair]]: Blurs the line between this and [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]].
Line 238:
[[File:Mk BoRaiCho 01 92.png|frame]]
 
* [[Acrofatic]]: In fact, he uses Sumo as one of his fighting styles in ''Deception''.
* [[Acrofatic]]
** Emphasized more in ''X''. His basic moves and combos are fluid and graceful, putting his mastery of the Drunken Fist and Jojutsu styles to good use.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: He even carries a gourd with him so that he can take a swig of his drink as a victory celebration.
* [[Badass Beard]]
