Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Secret Character]]: Beat the Story Mode in ''9'' to unlock him.

* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: His win pose in ''9''.

* [[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.

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: His above mentioned fatality where he beats the victim with their own leg. Even when the announcer deems the opponent dead, Quan Chi ignores it and keeps "beating the dead corpse", past the screen fading to black.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Starting in ''Deadly Alliance''.

* [[Was Once a Man]]: Inverted. He was an oni who became human.

{{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| Shortly after regaining her human form, Sareena encountered [[Mortal Kombat 2 (Video Game)/Characters|the younger brother of the Sub-Zero she met years before]]. Sub-Zero granted her sanctuary with the Lin Kuei back on Earthrealm. In gratitude, Sareena pledged her loyalty to the clan, swearing to help defend it from its enemies.}}

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Subverted. She looks like one but never ''acts'' as one.

* [[Gorgeous Gorgon]]: At least her human form is. We've yet to see her true appearance as a demon.

* [[High Heel Face Turn]]

* [[I Am a Monster]]: Loathes her demon form and is briefly manipulated into believing that she can't be good because of her status as such. [[But Your Wings Are Beautiful|Younger Sub-Zero doesn't seem to agree.]]

* [[Knife Nut]]: Her main projectile in ''Armageddon''.

* [[Mini Boss]]: In ''Armageddon''.

* [[Noble Demon]]: Though she really isn't very demonic.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Or so it seems. It is later revealed that Shinnok merely destroyed her human form.}}

* [[She's Got Legs]]

* [[Skunk Stripe]]

* [[Stripperiffic]]

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Her "human" form is a disguise that she prefers to appear as, although she's lost control of this on at least one occasion. Possibly crosses over with [[Shapeshifting Squick]] and [[Hot Skitty On Wailord Action]], seeing as she's Sub-Zero's [[Implied Love Interest]] and she's a demon...

* [[Womanin 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.

** [[Throw the Dog A Bone]]: Her time with (the younger) Sub-Zero seems to be a complete 180 from the rest of her life, though.

 

* [[Composite Character]]: Shinnok is the Wind God in ''[[Mortal Kombat Annihilation (Film)|Mortal Kombat Annihilation]]''.

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Before appearing in ''4'' and ''Armageddon'', he was a [[Mid Boss]] in ''Mythologies''.

** [[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 By His Own Petard|Hoist By His Own Tornado]]: How he (supposedly) dies in ''Mythologies''.

* [[Mentors]]: He becomes this to Kung Lao, similar to Raiden and Liu Kang.

* [[Not Quite Dead]]: He's shown being torn asunder by his own tornado in ''Mythologies'', but he's perfectly fine afterward.

* [[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.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[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]].

* [[Physical God]]

* [[Power Floats]]: In ''Mythologies''.

* [[Amazon Brigade]]

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Before appearing in ''Armageddon'''s Konquest Mode.

* [[Facial Markings]]

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|She apparently died at Taven's hands in ''Armageddon''.}}

* [[Mid Boss]]: In ''Mythologies''.

* [[Mini Boss]]: In ''Armageddon''.

* [[Stripperiffic]]

* [[Womanin Black]]

 

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Before appearing in ''Armageddon'''s Konquest Mode.

* [[Facial Markings]]

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|She apparently died at Taven's hands in ''Armageddon''.}}

* [[Mid Boss]]: In ''Mythologies''.

* [[Mini Boss]]: In ''Armageddon''.

* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]

* [[Stripperiffic]]
