Like Special Forces and Shaolin Monks, I think I'd much rather disregard that, since it directly contradicts explanations explicity given in the main games.


Not really. Mythologies actually fit with the games very well.
What contradictions do you mean?


In MK4 Quan Chi confesses to killing Scorpion's family, but still attributes the clan's death to Sub-Zero. I really don't think he's going to confess to one, and not the other.

That, and I prefer splitting the connection to Scorpion, rather than just having him completely off the mark for all that time.

Thanks, XiahouDun84 for clearing that up. So I was kind of right in what I was thinking.

Now did the original Sub-Zero actually kill his clan? Or was that Quan Chi again? If not, then it would seem Scorpion needn't have killed Sub-Zero in the first place.


Quan Chi killed Scorpion's family.
Sub-Zero (presumably leading other Lin Kuei), killed Scorpion and his clan.


No. Mick-Lucifer, I know you said you never played Mythologies, but you should at least learn the storlyine. Lot of crucial info was in that game.

The original Sub-Zero was hired by Quan Chi to steal the Map of the Elements. On this mission, Sub-Zero bumped into Scorpion who was also hired to steal the Map. They fought, Sub-Zero won, Scorpion asked for mercy, Sub-Zero ripped his head off.

Sub-Zero returned to the Lin Kuei HQ to deliver the Map and demanded to know why Quan Chi hired Scorpion. Quan Chi claimed it was a "contingincy" in case Sub-Zero failed.
As payment to the Lin Kuei for stealing the Map, Quan Chi slaughtered the Shirai Ryu and their families. He specifically said "I have seen to it every last trace of the Shirai Ryu is gone...forever."

In the Netherealm, Quan Chi told Scorpion that the Lin Kuei was responsible for the massacre.


Dam, I completely forgot about Mythologies. I always ahted that game and played it so long ago. So Subby was completely innocent except for killing Scoprion. Thanks.

The only importance scorpion really has now in the MK world, is probably a direct factor on sales.
Lets face it, the quan-chi, subzero, scorpion storyline is just boring now, and the whole elder gods champion is gay.

Scorpion needs a serious story twist.
