Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Sub-Zero appeared in the cartoon Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm as one of the leading characters, in which he was voiced by Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210. Sub-Zero has to prove he was trustworthy in the first episode of the series (Kombat Begins Again), since his status as a Lin Kuei traitor cast a shadow of doubt over his intentions, especially with Sonya, who takes longer to be convinced. In episode 2 (Sting of the Scorpion) he confronts and is defeated by Scorpion, only to be succeded by Liu Kang. His last important episode is Episode 5 (Old Friends Never Die) in which he is attacked by former friend Smoke, and is able to free his soul and later take on the Lin Kuei Grandmaster.

Scorpion appears briefly in the first Mortal Kombat movie as one of Shang Tsung's guardians, who dies in a match against Johnny Cage. His signature spear move was changed to a living snake-like entity that shot from his hand and could fly to a limited extent. He was portrayed by Chris Casamassa, with Ed Boon providing the voice.

The debate about violent games was resumed after a series of schoolyard shootings in 1997 and 1998, after it was discovered that some of the boys involved in the shootings had played "Mortal Kombat." Experts... were divided on the degree to which such games actually influenced violent behavior. What was important for game makers was the enthusiasm of video game players for carnage, and they began incorporating it into other games. Midway Games was no exception, producing "Blitz," a no-holds-barred contest in which players maim and dismember opponents, and "Bio Freaks," in which players can decapitate opponents.

In Mortal Kombat 4 and Mortal Kombat Gold, a bizarre glitch is encountered when performing Scorpion's Toasty fatality (and in Gold, Sektor's Flamethrower fatality) with the opponent and the camera near the wall. Once alight, the opponent will straighten up and flail about as usual, but their limbs will move about at odd angles, as if the opponent themselves were a broken marionette, collapsing at the end into a twisted, mangled mass.

In the N64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, the unmasked Sub-Zero was nowhere to be found, possibly due to the N64 lack of ROM space of the cartridge, though the ninja Sub-Zero is still found. What is interesting is that the ninja Sub-Zero in that version can perform both the MKII and MK3 version of Sub-Zero's special moves such as the Ice Puddle and the Ice Clone, as well as the Ice Shower. In the PlayStation, PC and Sega Saturn versions of MK Trilogy, had two different forms of Sub-Zero with the correct move sets.

A tribute to The Terminator is seen during Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, when Scorpion is defeated by Liu Kang. As he's dragged into the lava by the bloody skeletons of the damned, he holds out his right hand to give the camera a thumbs up as he's finally pulled under in a scene near-identical to the scene of the Terminator's destruction via a pool of molten steel in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
