"Ah, Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion — yellow-clad nutter or misunderstood anti-hero? That is the question. Regardless, our morally ambiguous, spear-shooting warrior of darkness has spawned one of the most iconic catchphrases in gaming history — his throaty “Get over here!” — and remains a firm fan favorite 19 years since his debut in the inaugural Mortal Kombat. With the franchise getting its much-anticipated, eponymous reboot this week, what better way to make the occasion than shining the spotlight on one of its most iconic fighters? As part of the bloody brawler’s ubiquitous ninja clan — which over the years has comprised of fellow combatants such as Sub-Zero, Rain, Smoke, and Reptile — the Scorpster distinguishes himself as more than just a palette swap thanks to an array of meaty maneuvers, including the aforementioned spear attack and teleport punch. These attacks form the meat and potatoes of Scorpion’s deadly repertoire, which has remained virtually untouched over the years in terms of trademark moves."
