In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (2002), Sub-Zero defeats Sektor in a fight for leadership of the Lin Kuei. In the meantime, Sub-Zero fights Scorpion, who Quan Chi has tricked into believing the Lin Kuei warrior killed his family. In Mortal Kombat 4 (1997), Raiden once again summons Sub-Zero to assist in defending Earthrealm, this time against Shinnok.

However, his ending states that he is not Sub-Zero rather he is an unidentified warrior who was missing from the previous tournament. His biography states that although he was believed to have died after the first Mortal Kombat tournament, he returned to assassinate Shang Tsung. In addition to the current Sub-Zero, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995) and Mortal Kombat Trilogy (1996) include a non-canonical playable character known as 'Classic Sub-Zero'. The three Cyber Lin Kuei ninjas are programmed to hunt and exterminate Sub-Zero, who by this time had received a vision from Raiden and agreed to join a rebellion against a new threat. In Mortal Kombat 3 (1995), Sub-Zero and his fellow Lin Kuei clansman Smoke attempt to escape from their clan after they start converting their warriors into cyborgs, but the latter ends up captured and turned into one anyway alongside Sektor and Cyrax the former of whom was known to usurp Sub-Zero for his own benefit. Scorpion eventually discovers the new Sub-Zero's true identity as the younger brother, in return for taking his older brother's life, vows to protect him forever. However Scorpion witnesses this Sub-Zero spare an opponent's life something the original Sub-Zero was not known to do.

Scorpion enters the tournament to ensure Sub-Zero's demise. Upon his brother's death in the first tournament and Shang Tsung's survival, Sub-Zero is sent by the Lin Kuei to enter the Outworld tournament and complete his brother's unfinished task. In Mortal Kombat II (1993), the younger Sub-Zero is introduced. It is revealed that Scorpion was earlier killed by the Sub-Zero, and Scorpion was allowed to return to the physical realms as an undead spectre to take revenge upon Sub-Zero. Scorpion held an enmity towards Sub-Zero due to rivalry between their opposing warrior clans (Scorpion's Japanese clan was unnamed). He was sent by the Chinese ninja clan Lin Kuei to kill the host Shang Tsung. The elder Sub-Zero appears as a playable character in the original 1992 Mortal Kombat game and the protagonist of the 1997 spin-off/prequel Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. He has received acclaim for his appearance, abilities, and Fatality finishing moves.Īppearances Mortal Kombat games One of Mortal Kombat 's signature characters, Sub-Zero has appeared in various related media outside of the games.
