50. Soultaker (Shang Tsung, MKDA)

Shang Tsung must have absorbed Ermacs soul just before using this fatality, as it seems to be influencing him. I like the impact of each slam, with blood and gibs splattering on the floor, as well as the finishing jump with the shockwave and souls flying around. It sells how strong Shang Tsung can be. He tends to be a more magical character, so this fatality serves as a reminder that he can pose a physical threat as well.

49. Telekinetic Slams (Ermac, MKD)

Weve seem Ermac slamming his opponent really fast until they explode. Weve seen him slam them once, but he does it really, really hard. This fatality is the baby bears porridge of Ermac slamming people. He slams them twice fast first, then he finishes them off with a really hard explosive slam. Its the best of both worlds. Its also pretty wholesome that Ermac says Yes! once hes finished. Its like he knows hes done a good job.

48. Telekinetic Tear (Ermac, MKD)

Instead of tossing people around, Ermac uses his powers to crumple his opponent up into a ball. He then decides this isnt messy enough, and stretches them out until they rip in half. The first part is quite original, as we dont see telekinesis used like that in Mortal Kombat very often. This fatality was good enough that Green Lantern copied it for Mortal Kombat VS DC, although Hal seems to think if he stops at the crushing into a tiny ball part, that his opponent is still alive. Its either that, or hes going through another Parallax phase and doesnt care about plausible deniability.

47. Double Down (Shao Kahn, MK9)

If Shao Kahn is in a hurry and youre ahead of him in a queue, always let him go ahead of you. If you do it fast enough, he might not use this fatality on you. Heres Johnny! played this concept for laughs, but this fatality goes for the cool, powerful approach by having Shao Kahn rip the opponent in half while walking through them, instead of making a hole like Johnny did and leaving it at that.

46. Freeze and Throw (Sub Zero, MKD)

When you have ice powers, sometimes you want to have fun with them. Sub Zero is no exception, as he tests himself by shattering a frozen opponent with a thrown object. Scorpion stole his Spine Rip in this game, so Sub Zero only takes the head to use as his throwing implement of choice. Besides, the head would be harder to throw accurately and forcefully with the spinal cord still attached and impacting the aerodynamics of the projectile.
