Unlike his previous appearance, he did not wear a hood, but still retained his mask. His scar is still featured prominently. Interestingly, Sub-Zero is one of the few characters in the series to show signs of natural aging faster than anyone due to the Dragon Medallion.
Around Deadly Alliance , he is depicted with slight wrinkles and graying hair, which has begun to bald around the time of Deception. His scar also changes blue, and eventually fades from his face entirely. In sporadic appearances beginning with MK4 , Sub-Zero bears a flexible ice sheet on his forearms, a sign of his growing power of cryomancy.
This aesthetic choice was carried over into MKX with his Cryomancer variation and in his guest appearance in Injustice 2 , and can alternate between this and normal looking arms. Additionally in his guest appearance in Injustice 2 , a frost aura comes from Sub-Zero's hands, a trait that also carries over to Mortal Kombat It is believed that Sub-Zero was unmasked in Mortal Kombat 3 to give him an identity of his own.
Because Sub-Zero had a nearly identical appearance to his elder brother from the first Mortal Kombat , fans didn't necessarily buy that this new Sub-Zero was the younger brother of the first, and because the younger Sub-Zero had a storyline that depended on the elder Sub-Zero's, the fans felt that this was the same Sub-Zero all along and begun to believe that there was only one Sub-Zero in the series.
Midway gave Sub-Zero a new appearance and unmasked him to simply give him a new identity and make it clear that there are two Sub-Zeros and that the current Sub-Zero that exists today is the younger brother of the elder Sub-Zero.
Since Deadly Alliance , Sub-Zero has appeared far older, while few, if any characters show signs of dramatic aging. This is possibly due to the amplifications his powers have undergone during the time, as in MK:DA , his arms became frozen over, and his scar turned blue as well as his hair graying. When filming Mortal Kombat 3 , the unmasked Sub-Zero costume was red, as shown in the Mortal Kombat history section featured in Deadly Alliance , due to the photo capture technology used to recolor character sprites.
Since Mortal Kombat 3 , Sub-Zero has had a scar running from his forehead across his right eye, but in the early arcade version of Mortal Kombat 4 and Deadly Alliance , this was forgotten, each time leading to speculations that his older brother had returned. The scar was first featured to be red, only to later change blue as a result of Sub-Zero's enhanced powers. In Mortal Kombat: Deception , his scar seems to have faded to the point where it can no longer be seen.
In Mortal Kombat Armageddon , Sub-Zero's ninja outfit retains the scar, while his alternate outfit, his Deception armor does not, due to re-using models from two different games. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks , the player witnesses Kung Lao vertically slashing Sub-Zero's face with his hat, resulting in bloodshed and ultimately a scar.
However, very little of Shaolin Monks is considered canon. Sub-Zero no longer has the scar in Mortal Kombat , having not received it in the alternate timeline, though he later receives a similar facial scar after being cut by Kano in the Mortal Kombat X comic.
Although Sub-Zero originally had brown eyes, they turned white after obtaining the Dragon Medallion. Renders from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks also give him white eyes. Official renders from Deadly Alliance depicts him having ice-blue eyes. After the timeline change, he originally features blue eyes, but these later turn white after he is revived by Raiden. In early versions of Mortal Kombat 4 , Sub-Zero was able to draw a broadsword to use in battle.
This same sword was also used by Scorpion in the same game. The second revision of the game changed his weapon to an "Ice Scepter" that could be used both as a club and as a means of freezing opponents. Any character who picked up the Ice Wand if it was dropped could use it to freeze Sub-Zero, though using it twice in succession would freeze the player similar to the behavior of Sub-Zero's freeze move.
This version of ninja Sub-Zero can perform the moves of unmasked Sub-Zero in addition to his own, though not his finishers. While the unmasked version was omitted, his Babality sprite can be seen in Stryker's Friendship. In Armageddon's Motor Kombat Sub-Zero drives a blue snow mobile with spiked tires and his special is to send an Iceball to another driver. The three-hour campaign is a worthy epilogue to the main Mortal Kombat 11 story, and the trio of new characters — Fujin, Sheeva, and RoboCop — are all interesting in their own ways though some are more interesting than others.
More than two years after its release in April , after adding 12 characters post-release, Mortal Kombat 11 is officially finished.
Why is Sub-Zero a Human? Yes, even though it seems that both of these characters are equal, they are not on the same level, as Scorpion is stronger than Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero has the awesome power of controlling ice, while Scorpion has power over fire. Movie appearance. According to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Shinnok is the father of Raiden and Shao Kahn, who wishes for power not only over all realms, but over the gods as well. Overall, Aftermath is a good expansion and does better the game outside of the story.
It turns out that Scorpion is not only a good guy , he originally fought Sub-Zero centuries before the present day. Is Sub-Zero Scorpion's brother? No, the two are not related in any way, shape, or form.
But the term "brothers" does come up in material referencing the two, and there's a reason for that. As we stated earlier, there are instances where multiple fighters have used the same Mortal Kombat character name.
The book tells the story of a clan of thieves and assassins in China that it claims essentially inspired the popular idea of the Japanese ninja. That fighter would go on to become Sub-Zero. As such, he decided to add a second ninja character to the game but that one would be of Japanese origins. That character eventually became Scorpion. As such, Sub-Zero and Scorpion were given largely similar looks but aesthetically opposing colors blue and orange.
For a generation of MK fans, the fact that these two characters looked similar but wore different colors was actually their first indication that they were rivals. In the spirit of their real-life origin stories, Sub-Zero and Scorpion were written to be members of opposing ninja clans in the MK universe. Naturally, the clans sent Sub-Zero and Scorpion as their respective representatives on this task.
As you can probably guess, Sub-Zero and Scorpion met while trying to complete their assignments and, despite the number of things they clearly had in common, decided to battle rather than strike a meaningful and lasting friendship that certainly could have saved everyone a lot of trouble down the line. Sub-Zero would end up winning the first battle between him and Scorpion, but it should be pointed out that Sub-Zero had the undeniably useful ability to manipulate ice at that time while Scorpion was just a renowned warrior that possessed mostly human though certainly enhanced abilities.
