For purposes of the thread, lets rank the following
  • Mortal Kombat (1992)
  • MK2
  • MK3
  • MK4
  • MK:DA
  • MK:Deception
  • MKvsDC
  • MK9
  • MKX
  • MK11


Mortal Kombat 1 Id give a 7-out-of-10. Theyre great, but they didnt have in mind the scope that could be taken with this character. The true Scorpion was to evolve with the franchise over the next few games. Id give MK2 an 8/10 for bringing him much closer to what were used to, with an overtly demonic theme for Scorpions powers. MK3 is a 9/10, as it really gave Scorpion the powers, poses, personality, and costume design that we come to associate him with today.

MK4 is a 10/10 design on my list. The skull belt. The skull-like mask. For the first time, Scorpions clothing was created to make him stand out from Sub-Zero in ways other than just the color. His personality & story is reflected in what he wears for the first time. They took his design from the last game & made it distinctly Scorpion.

Since then he has evolved more and more to resemble a desert scropion gimmick, sporting with plated armor with barbed tips, reminiscent of a real scorpion. Even his moveset was drastically changed to reflect this theme. The MK9 costume is the most animal-themed of all. 9/10

MKX approached the character more like Noob Saibot, painting Scorpion as a revenant from hell with a bright\burnt yellow theme. 9/10. MK11 brings a gaudier flair back to the clothing, blending MKXs style with what we saw in MK9 & Injustice somewhat. 8/10



Thoughts: This would be a great time to experiment with customizable character models in the next game, so.... let me mix & match pieces of Scorpions gear over the years to make my own outfits. As the game progresses, the player unlocks new pieces & alternate costumes. But, from the get go, let me play around with the texture/material, the colors, the designs/patterns, adding/removing armor pieces, all with their own stats (similar to an RPG) ~ instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, just give us fans what we already want. Id buy an Armageddon 2.0 w/ adventure mode ofc ;)
