{{quote|Quan Chi has an important role in the events of ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'': all the aforementioned events which happen during the course of the first three games also happen during this one. It starts with the fact that he slaughters Scorpion's family to convince him to kill the ''original'' Sub-Zero, not the younger one, and it only goes downhill from there.}}
----
* [[Actually a Doombot]]: Baraka's non-canon ending in ''[[Mortal Kombat 4|Gold]]''.
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Badass Baritone]]: Don't even deny it.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Not one strand of hair on his head, and he doesn't do one single good deed throughout the whole franchise.
* [[Big No]]: When Scorpion [[Taking You with Me|drags him into the Netherrealm]] in ''4''.
* [[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.
* [[Evil Albino]]: Like Shinnok, his skin is completely pale, and he had red eyes. It's unknown if that's his real skin or just body paint, but either way, he's still a major antagonist.
* [[Evil Overlord]]: In exchange for helping Shinnok overthrow Lucifer, he was granted the chance to rule at his side in the Netherrealm, qualifying him for this trope.
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Richard Divizio (''4'') and Ron Banks (''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'' onward) portray him with a deep, baritone voice that only seems to enhance his evilness.
* [[Expy]]: Looks like a modern day Kratos.
* [[Facial Markings]]: He seems to have a chakra painted on his forehead. Also, there are two black lines coming out of his eyebrows towards the back of his head.
* [[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 with a Body]]: [[Word of God|Ed Boon]] went on record as claiming that Quan Chi had both his most AND least favorite fatalities in the series.
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* [[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''.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Not immediately noticeable, but the red eyes are always there. It contributes to his demonic-looking appearance.
** Made much more obvious in his Summoner variation.
* [[Secret Character]]: Beat the Story Mode in ''9'' to unlock him.
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: His win pose in ''9''.
Line 69 ⟶ 71:
* [[Aborted Arc]]: [[Word of God]] dropped a few hints that she had a connection to Reiko, but nothing came of it. All that's known is that they both were once members of the Brotherhood of Shadows.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: Was once part of one along with Kia and Jataaka.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: She appeared as a sub-boss in one of the more maligned games in the franchise, yet was popular enough to be given a role in ''Tournament Edition'', ''Armageddon'' and ''X''.
* [[The Atoner]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
Line 168 ⟶ 170:
* [[Ditto Fighter]]: He could also switch between the other characters' moves with ease.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Before appearing in ''4'' and ''Armageddon''.
* [[Evil Albino]]: His face is completely pale, and he is one of the main villains in the franchise.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: '''FEEL MY POWER!!! FEEL THE FORCES OF DARKNESS!!!'''
* [[Evil Laugh]]: '''MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!'''
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Yet another one, like all the other villains. He can use, among other moves, shape-shifting like Shang Tsung (Mimicry) and large skeletal hands to grab and throw his opponent (Summoned Fiend).
* [[Fallen Hero]]: His backstory. His lust for power is what caused the other Elder Gods to exile him.
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: As a Fallen Elder God, he's arguably the most powerful force of evil in the entire mythos, but he has a rather lackluster record as a gameplay character. In ''4'', he simply copied his enemies' moves, a clear ripoff of Shang Tsung minus the shapeshifting and not much harder to beat than the other characters. He got a slightly more original moveset in ''Armageddon'' but has still yet to compare to the toughest characters in the series.
* [[God-Emperor]] [[God of Evil|of Evil]]/[[Satan]]: Fallen Elder God, ruler of the Netherrealm, plans to rule over all of existence. Although he canonically usurped the Netherrealm ''from'' Satan (well, actually Lucifer), the dynamic is still the same.
* [[Large Ham]]: It seems to be a trend among ''Mortal Kombat'' villains, as he is no stranger to dramatic shouting. See [[Evil Is Hammy]] above.
* [[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 with Suck|the gift of his own existence]]. It's easy to understand Quan Chi's frustration at this development, but [[Kick the Son of a Bitch|the guy had it coming]].
* [[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]]: Like the other Elder Gods or realm gods, he possesses a more ethereal form, but takes a physical one to participate in mortal events. He may have lost this ability upon his fall.
* [[Power Floats]]: In ''Mythologies''.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Is not happy with his fellow Elder Gods for casting him down.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: Cast down into the Netherrealm by Raiden eons before the series began, with the means of his escape (his amulet) being guarded by the four elemental gods in their Earthrealm temples. Is finally unsealed in ''4''.
* [[Sorcerous Overlord]]: With his sorcerous powers and Quan Chi's help, he overthrew Lucifer and became the new ruler of the Netherrealm in his backstory.
* [[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.
* [[The Unfought]]: In ''Armageddon'', see [[Actually a Doombot]]/[[Fighting a Shadow]] above.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Best seen in his ending in ''4''. When he tells Raiden about how he will rule all eternity, Raiden says he is mad.
