History Characters / MortalKombat

!! Sub-Zero V (The Elder) / [[spoiler: Noob Saibot]]

* DemBones: As revealed during is signature Fatality, under Scorpion's mask his head is actually a skull. [[{{Hellfire}} On fire]].

* HumanCannonball: His Cannonball attack acts like this.

* DeusExMachina: Subversion: He's a God, but can't always intervene on behalf of his people because the Elder Gods are always watching over him. [=MK3's=] intro justifies this as since Earth's merged with Outworld, "I can no longer interfere as your world is ruled by the Outworld Gods", at least until Trilogy.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: They went right with "[[HattoriHanzo Hanzo]]" for a first name, but Hasashi is [[DidNotDoTheResearch not even a word]].

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Scorpion's ''penguin'' Animality form ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat III''. A penguin that lays [[MadeOfExplodium explosive eggs]]. Yes, it makes no sense to us either. They have since SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, in a way: Scorpion can actually morph into a [[ScaryScorpions giant scorpion]] as one of his Fatalities in ''Mortal Kombat Gold'', likely due to the complains about the whole penguin transformation.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: They went right with "Hanzo" for a first name, but Hasashi is [[DidNotDoTheResearch not even a word]].

* DidNotDoTheResearch: He has the [[{{Ninja}} appropriate]] first name Hanzo counterbalanced by Hasashi not even being a word.

[[folder:Introduced in ''Mortal Kombat Armageddon'']]

!!Daegon
* BadassLongcoat
* BaldOfEvil
* CainAndAbel: Cain to Taven's Abel.
* DualWielding
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has one over his eye.
* LawfulEvil
* SealedEvilInACan

!!Taven
* BigDamnHeroes
* CainAndAbel: Abel to Daegon's Cain.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: After defeating Daegon in ''Konquest'', he takes his stolen sword back. Changing to his weapon style in the final fight with Blaze reveals...the same damn sword he's been using the entire game.
* IdiotHero: Is pretty gullible all in all. To be fair, some of it can be attributed to [[ColdSleepColdFuture how long he's been asleep]].
* SealedGoodInACan
* TooDumbToLive: He makes Shujinko look intelligent.
** Let's not give Shujinko too much credit, here.
* NeutralGood
[[/folder]]

* {{Kiai}}
** [[MostAnnoyingSound And freaking]] '''[[MostAnnoyingSound HOW!]]'''

* [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch This Is For Emphasis, Bitch!]] (Scorpion's "Get over here!" line had "Bitch!" put at the end in ''Shaolin Monks''. There was even a [[spoiler:"get the fuck over here!"]] variant! Of course, this happened very rarely and was probably the only time in MK that there's been profanity.)

* [[spoiler: CainAndAbel: In ''Deception'' he attempts to kill his younger brother, and in ''Armageddon'' he storms the Lin Kuei temple.]]

* [[spoiler: DeathIsCheap]]

* ShipTease: In ''Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero'', there was a briefly hinted love interest between him and Sareena.

* SunglassesAtNight: By ''Mortal Kombat Trilogy'', he stopped taking off his shades in battle.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Subverted (See Anti Villain).

* ShapeShifterSwanSong
* TheStarscream
* YourSoulIsMine: TropeNamer, by virtue of the [[Film/MortalKombat movie]].

* OffScreenTeleportation
** Later replaced with a fiery dissolving.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou (to the original Sub-Zero)

* PapaWolf: He had a family as a human, they were killed, and he believed their deaths were caused by the Lin Kuei. Hence, his grudge against them.

* GroinAttack: Johnny Cage's signature attack, essentially a special move in which he does the splits and plants his fist directly into his opponent's balls. [[WouldntHitAGirl He refuses to use this move on female opponents]] (except in ''Shaolin Monks''), though. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Cage pulled this move on Goro in the movie]].
** Which is even funnier as it's subverted just the tiniest bit when Johnny runs from the ring, up the stairs, and has to pause, wincing in pain and shaking off the hand he punched with, and hissing "Damn! That ''hurt!''"
** In ''Shaolin Monks'', the move is extended to a fatality. He punches them in the groin several times, mugs for the camera, punches the groin for a bit like a speed bag, and then does one final monster punch that pulverises the entire pelvic region, effectively cutting the opponent in half. It can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83nMi9xUies here]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnScQW-OR2Q here]].

* PaintedOnPants (In her earlier appearances)

* LawfulEvil -> ChaoticEvil

* HollywoodAcid

* GrievousHarmWithABody: His Leg Rip fatality in ''[=MK4=]''. [[WordOfGod Ed Boon describes it as the best fatality in the series.]] Many are inclined to agree.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: He is a long time fan favourite, to the point that even Ed Boon has openly admitted, In various interviews, that his favorite character has always been Scorpion, and that any Mortal Kombat game would feel incomplete without him.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Scorpion's ''penguin'' Animality form ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat III''. Yes, it makes no sense to us either.
** A penguin that lays [[MadeOfExplodium explosive eggs]] for that matter!
*** They have since SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, in a way: Scorpion can actually morph into a [[ScaryScorpions giant scorpion]] as one of his Fatalities in ''Mortal Kombat Gold'', likely due to the complains about the whole penguin transformation.

* EyeBeam

* FakeUltimateHero

* DeusExMachina

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable

* TheDragon: He's literally a dragon-human hybrid, [[FridgeLogic somehow...]]

* CoolShades
** [[MemeticMutation Five-hundred-dollar sunglasses, asshole!]]

* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead[=/=]CameBackWrong]]
* BruceLeeClone
* [[spoiler: CameBackWrong: His corpse. Subverted with his soul, which retains his true essence.]]

!!Quan Chi
* BaldOfEvil
* CanonImmigrant: He actually first appeared in the cartoon, ''Defenders Of The Realm'', having a whole episode where he used a magic jewel to increase the evil emotions in everyone's hearts except Nightwolf.
* ChronicBackStabbingDisorder
* DarkLord
* EnsembleDarkhorse: The creators just love this guy, and so do a lot of fans.
* EvilSorcerer
* GrievousHarmWithABody: His Leg Rip fatality in ''[=MK4=]''. [[WordOfGod Ed Boon describes it as the best fatality in the series.]] Many are inclined to agree.
* NeutralEvil: Wants power to himself and completely unconcerned with the consequences of his acts.

[[folder:Original Cast]]

[[folder:Introduced in ''Mortal Kombat 2'']]

!!Kitana
* ActionGirl
* EnsembleDarkhorse
* KissOfDeath
* LadyOfWar
* LeotardOfPower
* LawfulEvil -> LawfulGood
* MostCommonSuperpower: Not so evident in the earlier installments, but from DA on, she has some tig ol' bitties. Though they were somewhat reduced in MK vs DC, where she's more realistically endowed.
* PaperFanOfDoom: They are made of steel but she still uses it as a weapon.
* RebelliousPrincess

!!Mileena
* BackFromTheDead: During ''II'', she fought Kitana and lost, badly. Shinnok resurrected her in ''Ultimate 3''.
* ChaoticEvil
* CloningBlues: She was created originally to replace Kitana, but instead was made to be her watchdog.
* DarkActionGirl
* EvilCounterpart
* FanDisservice: Hot as hell until you see her lower face
* FetishFuelStationAttendant: Also a NightmareFuelStationAttendant
* ImAHumanitarian
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: due to her status as half-tarkatan.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Well, she at least wears the pink costume.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her costumes are the biggest offenders.

!!Major Jackson "Jax" Briggs
* AngryBlackMan
** Before his arm transplant his only power was being a big black man. That and firing energy blasts, but who can't?
* ArtificialLimbs
* TheBigGuy of the FiveManBand
* HollywoodCyborg: In the third game

* TheLancer: To Sonya
* RedOniBlueOni: He's the Blue to Sonya's Red
* ScaryBlackMan
* TheScrappy: In a panel which revealed the newest characters for MortalKombatVsDCUniverse, reactions ranged from excited to neutral. Guess which character caused the audience to groan in disgust.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Averted, even for one of his fatalities

!!Baraka
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: His species, the Tarkatans, are said to be like this.
* AxCrazy
* BaldOfEvil: Another trait that seem to be part of his species.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Like all Tarkatans, Baraka sports twin razor-sharp blades in his arms that he uses to nasty effect.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: The creators have admitted in one of their videos that Baraka is one of their most popular characters, albeit not having been in a lot of the games.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* HairTriggerTemper: Nearly every one of his endings suggests this.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[WordofGod It is said]] that Tarkatans are half-Outworld humans and half-Demons. Explains why they are all AlwaysChaoticEvil.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Courtesy of Kung Lao at the end of ''3''. In ''Gold'', he's [[BackFromTheDead held together with large metal staples]]. By ''Deception'', he's back to normal.
* KissKissSlap: With Mileena. This being MortalKombat, and with both of them having AlwaysChaoticEvil genes, the "Kisses" are plots to rule Outworld together as king and queen, and the "Slaps" are [[MadLove betrayal and brutal attempts at murder]].
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily
* PointyEars
* StalkerWithACrush: To Mileena

!!Sub-Zero VI (The Younger)
* AnIcePerson
* {{Badass}}
* [[spoiler: CainAndAbel: Upon discovering Noob Saibot's identity as his elder brother reincarnated, Noob has been trying to kill him.]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse
* EstrogenBrigadeBait
* GoodScarsEvilScars / ScarsAreForever
* LawfulNeutral -> LawfulGood
* LegacyCharacter: He's the younger brother of the Sub-Zero from ''[=MK1=]''
** And ''Sub-Zero'' has been the family codename in the Lin Kuei since their great-great grandfather.
* MyGreatestFailure: Frost fills this role.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: The whitening of his hair and hardening of his features in ''Deadly Alliance'' made him look older, but he's in his early 40s at most (he was 32 in ''II'').
* TheRival: Was this on-again, off-again for a while to Scorpion, depending on [[LetsYouAndHimFight who was saying what about him to Scorpion]]. In ''4'' they make peace, and future duels are usually just RuleOfCool. Its implied they still don't like each other, though.
* ShipTease: With Sareena ''in spades'', particularly in ''Armageddon''.
** Which is a bit odd, considering that originally, the teasing was directed at his elder brother.
* SixthRanger
* TheStoic: Easily the least vocal and most ruthless of the main heroes.

!!Noob Saibot
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment
* MeaningfulName: Is both "Boon" and "Tobias" spelled backwards, after game creators Ed Boon and John Tobias.
* MonochromaticEyes
* NeutralEvil -> ChaoticEvil
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Deception confirmed that he is Sub-Zero V revived as a wraith after his death at Scorpion's hands.]]
* UnfortunateNames: The first name. It may be Boon backward, but internet forum goers would say otherwise.

!!Kung Lao
* NeutralGood (strongly dislikes violence, only taking an active role when the world is at risk and there's no other choice)
* DorkAge: What many would prefer to think of his portrayal in ''Shaolin Monks''.
** To elaborate, he is suddenly jealous of Liu Kang, when in the past he had only cared for the protection of Earthrealm.
* EnsembleDarkhorse
* FakingTheDead: He was apparently killed by Shao Kahn during ''Trilogy''. He survived, but for a time allowed his allies to believe him dead.
* TheLancer to Liu Kang
* MartialPacifist
* NiceHat: It also doubles as a weapon!
* RefusalOfTheCall
* TheRival: To Liu Kang as of ''Shaolin Monks''. [[CharacterDerailment Few are happy about this.]]
* TheSmartGuy of the FiveManBand

!!Jade
* ActionGirl
* AmbiguouslyBrown
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kitana.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Especially so with her alternate costume in Deception.
* LawfulEvil -> NeutralGood
* LeotardOfPower
* StaffChick
* {{Stripperific}}

!!Smoke
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul Subverted: His personality and identity are suppressed, but his soul is still intact, and later reawakens due to him being one of Raiden's chosen warriors. Even his later reprogramming by Noob Saibot is implied to not be sticking.
* EarthShatteringKaboom Used as an (obviously non-canon) Fatality.
* MemeticMutation / NeverLiveItDown: His initial appearance in ''II'' was as a gray Scorpion [[PaletteSwap recolor]] with crazy speed. His cyborg version has even more attacks taken from other characters. Combine that with one of his vocal grunts being heard by many as "Yoink", he has become famous as a move thief, matched only by Shujinko.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot
* TheWoobie: Smoke's misfortunes seem to pile up with each sequel. To date, he's been [[spoiler: converted to a cyborg against his will, deactivated and hung as a trophy after Mortal Kombat 3, and reprogrammed as an evil minion in Deception.]]
* TrueNeutral -> NeutralGood -> ChaoticEvil (the last one is against his will, however)
* [[IncrediblyLamePun Vapor]] [[VaporWear Wear]]

!!Kintaro
* BackFromTheDead: Raiden vaporized him in ''II'', but like so many others, he came back for ''Armageddon'' with no explanation.
* BeastMan
* TheBrute
* The Dragon: To Shao Kahn in ''MK II''
* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: He's the only furry character of the entire cast.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Like his cousin Goro, he sports four arms.
* TheJuggernaut
* LawfulEvil
* SNKBoss: Mortal Kombat's TropeCodifier.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite his status as a furry, no one seems to notice or care.

!!Shao Kahn
* BigBad
* DracoInLeatherPants: VERY often, for [[EstrogenBrigade both]] [[EvenTheGuysWantHim sides]] of the fandom.
** [[{{Stripperiffic}} Very, very tiny leather pants...]]
* DropTheHammer
* TheEmperor
* EstrogenBrigadeBait
* EvilOverlord
* EvilIsHammy (Is that the best you can do?, Are you still trying to win?, You'll never win)
* EyeBeams
* LargeHam (It's official, you suck!)
* LawfulEvil
** Havik, however, identifies him as ChaoticEvil (and as Cleric of Khaos, he would know).
* LightningBruiser
* ManBehindTheMan: To Shang Tsung.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: I dare you to type his name on {{Google}} and take a drink every time it's misspelled as "Khan".
* {{Stripperiffic}}: A very rare male version of this. Just look at his costume!
* VictoryIsBoring: What happens in his ''Armageddon'' ending.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Introduced in ''Mortal Kombat 3'' and its derivatives]]

!!Ermac
* CharacterDevelopment: He goes from a glitch in ''MK'' to being a powerful force for good in ''Deception''.
* HiveMind
* MonochromaticEyes: White in ''3'', green from ''Deception'' on.
* NeutralEvil -> NeutralGood

* TheUndead
* VoiceOfTheLegion

!!Cyrax
* BecomeARealBoy: He wants to be fully human again.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Subverted - His soul is suppressed, but resurfaces after he is lost in the desert during the aftermath of ''3'', and at the end of ''4'', Sonya and Jax fully restore it.
* EarthShatteringKaboom - In Mortal Kombat 4 as a Fatality.
* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: His Animality.
* LaserBlade: His weapon from ''Deadly Alliance'' on has been a "Pulse Blade".
* HeelFaceTurn
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot
* TrueNeutral -> LawfulGood

!!Sektor
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Played pretty straight with him though. Fanon actually theorizes that, since he was the first the be converted, the procedure ''killed'' him, and that the cybernetics themselves are responsible for his actions in the series.
* DarkLord: Becomes one after Sub-Zero retakes the Lin Kuei from him.
* DualWielding: His weapon style in ''Armageddon'' is a pair of short [[LaserBlade Pulse Blades]].
* KlingonPromotion: Becomes Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei by killing the old Grandmaster after his programming deteriorates.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot
* TrueNeutral -> ChaoticEvil

!!Chameleon
* DittoFighter: Limited to the male "ninja" characters, not including unmasked Sub-Zero or the Cyber-Ninjas.
* FlatCharacter: Chameleon had no story in his original appearance, and his backstory in ''Armageddon'' only establishes that he wants to be the true champion of Mortal Kombat.
* NeutralEvil
* PaletteSwap: Justified due to his powers.
* MysteriousWatcher: Chameleon is described as this in ''Armageddon''.

!!Khameleon
* DittoFighter: Limited to the female "Ninja" characters, not including Frost (in Armageddon).
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Fans were not pleased that she wasn't included in Armageddon, to the point that she was added to the Wii release of the game.
* NeutralGood
* [[LastOfHisKind Last Of Their Kind]]: Khameleon believes she and Reptile are the last Raptors (Chameleon may or not be a third). Her motivation, besides getting revenge against Shao Kahn for destroying her realm, is getting Reptile on her side and... [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean amending this situation]].

!!Sheeva
* AmbiguouslyBrown: She is first given Indian features but looks more African in ''Armageddon''.
* BackFromTheDead / IGotBetter: At the end of ''3'', she is betrayed by Kano to Shao Kahn, and he impales her with a sword. She is back in ''Armageddon'' with, all together now... no explanation.
* CuteMonsterGirl
** YourMilleageMayVary, depending on whether you're in the group described under Fetish Fuel.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Goro and Kintaro.
** FragileSpeedster: Not in the overall scale, but certainly compared to her {{SpearCounterpart}}s.
* FetishFuel: For many fans.
* LawfulEvil
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Like all Shokan, Sheeva has four arms.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Especially in ''3''

!!Sindel
* BabyGotBack: In Deception and Armageddon.
* BackFromTheDead: As part of Shao Kahn's XanatosGambit to bridge the gap between Earthrealm and Outworld.
* BladeOnAStick
* BreathWeapon: She sends fireball projectiles from her mouth.
* TheHighQueen: To her homeland of Edenia after her husband's demise.
* HotMom: Of Kitana. (And Mileena... [[CloningBlues sorta]].)
* LadyOfWar: Always looks and acts regal, even when kicking ass.
* LawfulGood (in ''Mortal Kombat 3'' she is brainwashed into LawfulEvil)
* MakeMeWannaShout: Her signature fatality, as well as her stun move.
* MonochromaticEyes
* PrehensileHair: In ''3''. It hasn't shown up since, however.

!!Kabal
* ArchEnemy: To Mavado
* DragonAscendant: Kano's disappearance in Deadly Alliance gave Kabal room to revive the Black Dragon as its new leader. At least in Deception anyway.
* EnsembleDarkhorse
* TheFaceless: Unless you perform the appropriate Fatality.
* [[GasMaskMooks Gas Mask Mook]]: Later Gas Mask Boss.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor (Starts out evil before ''3'', becomes good in ''3'', ends up evil again from ''Deception'' onward.)
* HooksAndCrooks: He [[DualWielding dual wields]] chinese hookswords.
* NeutralEvil -> ChaoticGood -> ChaoticEvil
* NightmareFace: His Fatality in Mortal Kombat 3.

!!Nightwolf
* AnAxeToGrind: or more appropriately, a tomahawk
* BadassBookworm
* BigBadAssWolf: His Animality.
* LawfulGood -> NeutralGood
* MagicalNativeAmerican
* TheArcher: One of his abilities

!!Rain
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Not quite proper katanas, but they certainly fit the basic aesthetic. And he has [[DualWielding two of them]].
* KillItWithWater
* LawfulEvil -> LawfulGood (If Trilogy is to be believed) -> NeutralEvil
* RedHerring: His appearance in the intro for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is this.
* ShoutOut: His costume is purple, his name is Rain [[spoiler:and ''Armageddon'' reveals he's a {{prince}}]]. Just think about it.
* TheUnFavourite

!!Kurtis Stryker
* BadassNormal
* LawfulGood: He is a cop, after all.
* MissedMomentofAwesome: In Mortal Kombat Deception, Stryker could be seen in Seido, aspiring to be a Seidan Guard. This led many fans to believe that, upon his return in Armageddon, he would return as a full-fledged officer of Order, giving his much-lauded character some depth at last. According to WordOfGod, he remained in Earthrealm THE WHOLE TIME in-between the events of 3 and Armageddon, making his appearance in Seido non-canon and entirely pointless.
* MoreDakka: A [[GameBreaker game-breaking]] [[ThatOneAttack amount]].
* {{Ninja}}: [[FridgeLogic Supposedly...]]
* TheWesley: The creators thought he'd be popular with the gamers because of his {{Everyman}} appeal. Boy were they wrong.
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: He gets a new look and some cooler gadgets in ''Armageddon''.

!!Motaro
* ALoadOfBull: In Armageddon.
* BackfromTheDead: It was mentioned that he died by Sheeva's hand in Kano's Konquest story in Deadly Alliance, but is back without any explanation in Armageddon.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Appears out of the blue in a random Earthrealm village in Deception's Konquest mode to give you some Koins, then vanishes.
** Its a rare occurance and the player has to be quick to make it happen, so its more of an EasterEgg.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Sort of. He and the rest of the Centaurs are transformed into Minotaurs by a Shokan curse in ''Armageddon'', which reduces their fighting abilities.
* TheDragon: To Shao Kahn in ''MK III''
* FantasticRacism: He's apparently victim of this, due to the Shokan and Centaur's long standing blood feuds.
** 'Course, once the Centaurs gain favor with Shao Kahn, they become the perpetrators.
* LawfulEvil
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy
* SNKBoss
NinjaZombieRobot: Rat-tailed, ram-horned centaur
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Introduced in ''Mortal Kombat 4'']]

!!Meat
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Randomly appears with a British accent in the Netherrealm in Deception's Konquest mode to give you some koins, then disappears.
* JokeCharacter
* KnifeNut
* PaletteSwap: Of ''everyone'' in ''4'', except Goro and Noob Saibot.
* {{Squick}}: His Armageddon portyal.
* TrueNeutral

!!Reiko
* DropTheHammer
* TheDragon: To Shao Kahn's BigBad in ''MK: Conquest''
* EpilepticTrees: Boy howdy, there was a long period once where people thought he WAS Shao Kahn.
** Not helped by the Game Boy port of ''4'' saying he was.
* Flanderization: Not that he had much characterization to begin with, but Midway took his connection to Shao Kahn and ran like ''hell'' with it. In ''Deception'', he claims he enjoys sneaking into Kahn's throne room and wearing his helmet. Come ''Armageddon'', he's gone from maskless ninja to a helmetless copy of Kahn (except with proper pants), complete with his weapon being changed from a war club to the ''Crude Hammer'', further emulating Kahn. One of his attacks even generates an aura version of Kahn's helmet. [[spoiler: And what does he do in his ''Armageddon'' ending? Defeats Shao Kahn and claim his helmet, which fuses to his head.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* LawfulEvil
* MonochromaticEyes
* TheStarscream: Possibly to Shao Kahn. He certainly wants that helmet.

!!Tanya
* TheBaroness
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Possibly more untrustworthy than Kano. And that's quite a statement.
* DarkActionGirl
* GlowingEyesOfDoom
* NeutralEvil: Selfish, cares only about herself and wants power? Yeah, she fits this.

!!Kai
* MartialPacifist
* LawfulGood
* WalkingTheEarth: He searches for spiritual enlightenment.
* WarriorPoet

!!Jarek
* AxCrazy: Ends up as this in ''Armageddon''.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy
* BeardOfEvil
* BladeBrake: How he survived Jax dropping him off a cliff at the end of ''4''.
* DirtyCoward
* TheDragon: Seems to have been this to Kano.
* EnemyMine: Teams up with Sonya and Jax (and the rest of Earthrealm's warriors by proxy) to defeat Shinnok in ''4''. It takes all of five seconds after the Elder God's defeat before Jarek and Sonya are at each other's throats again.
* NeutralEvil
* TheScrappy: He was hated by fans who felt that he was nothing but a re-hash of Kano's moves.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Introduced in ''Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance'']]

!!Moloch
* Chaotic Evil (Though the case could be made that he's Neutral Hungry.)
* DumbMuscle
* EpicFlail
* PrimalStance: Which hides his 10-foot height, especially when compared side-by-side with other boss characters in ''Armageddon''.
* RedOniBlueOni: Inverted - While he is colored blue, he is much more primal and vicious than Drahmin (if the latter is wearing his mask). Both are still Red in the overall scale.
* UnderwearOfPower

!!Drahmin
* ChaoticEvil
** Was also some manner of Evil as a human (His Warlord title implies [[NeutralEvil Neutral]] or Chaotic).
* TheFaceless
* MaskPower
* RedOniBlueOni: Inverted - Though colored red, he is far more precise in his violence, using torture as opposed to smashing stuff. Unless he takes his mask off, and of course, ''both'' more Red than Blue.
* {{Squick}}: He looks like a skinless, decaying human with flies constantly buzzing around him.
* UnderwearOfPower

!!Mavado
* ArchEnemy: To Kabal
* BadassLongcoat
* BackFromTheDead: Kabal supposedly killed him after ''Deadly Alliance'' to get his Hookswords back (and to return the favor for nearly killing him. Not only does he return without explanation, but he still has the Hookswords (though he may have simply acquired a new pair of his own).
* EnigmaticMinion: To Daegon
* HoYay: With Hsu Hao
* ImprobableWeaponUser
* MeaningfulName: His name means "evil man" in Portuguese.
* LawfulEvil

!!Kenshi
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Was one of these before the series began. Shang Tsung uses this to his advantage, tricking Kenshi into releasing the souls of his ancestors for his consumption.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Almost exactly like {{Daredevil}}.
* EnsembleDarkhorse
* EstrogenBrigadeBait
* HandicappedBadass: He's a blind swordsman.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He intends to do this to Shang Tsung, because as it turns out, there ''was'' a mighty sword hidden in the tomb Tsung tricked him into opening.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: To be fair, he ''is'' Japanese.
* MeaningfulName: His name means "sword saint" in Japanese.
** [[DidNotDoTheResearch Close, but no cigar]]. Kenshi is Japanese for "swordsman". However, Kenshi ''was'' referred to as "the Sword Saint" in the Konquest mode of ''Deadly Alliance'', which is the English equivalent of the Japanese word "kensei".
* ChaoticGood
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He does ''not'' appreciate being used by Shang Tsung to enslave the souls of his ancestors.

!!Li-Mei
* ActionGirl
* BreakTheCutie
* ChineseGirl: Although she's from Outworld.
* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn]]: [[spoiler: Li Mei's non-canon ending in Deception]]
* FragileSpeedster
* Gainaxing: In Deadly Alliance. Sidestep repeatedly and see for yourself.
* HiddenDepths: According to her modeling profile, she's a ventriloquist.
* MsFanservice: Lampshaded by her "Outworld Modeling Agency" profile.
* SheFu
* ShoutOut: One of her fatalities in ''Deception'' is essentially one of ''Ultimate 3's'' Brutalities.
* {{Stripperiffic}}
* ChaoticGood

!!Hsu-Hao
* AmbiguouslyGay: He's dressed as a HardGay member of The VillagePeople.
* ArchEnemy: Of Jax.
* BackFromTheDead: At the end of ''Deadly Alliance'', Jax rips Hsu Hao's cybernetic heart out. He's back in ''Armageddon'' as if nothing ever happened.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCqmmJ87pg Kombat Kard]]'s bio says this.
* TheDragon: To Mavado.
* ImprobableWeaponUser
* NeutralEvil
* TheScrappy: Even the devs hate him.
--> '''John Vogel:''' We were fully prepared to say "Yes, [Jax killing him] really happened. He's dead. He's gone." But ''Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is about bringing every character back to life, so Hsu Hao is back...much to my dismay.

!!Mokap
* IKnowMortalKombat: After all, he's in the game itself!
* FishOutOfWater: The most normal character in the game. That ''he'' can throw energy balls and telekinetically lift his foes speaks ''volumes'' about the ''Mortal Kombat'' version of Earth.
* InkSuitActor: He is essentially Carlos Pesina (motion capture artist and resident martial arts expert) inserted directly into the ''MK'' world.
* JokeCharacter / LethalJokeCharacter
* NeutralGood: A nice guy, but more than likely doesn't care about anything besides getting home.

!!Nitara
* BreastPlate
* ChaoticNeutral
* EvilIsSexy: Although she's more along the lines of ChaoticNeutral or even TrueNeutral. Still, ''damn''!
* ManipulativeBastard: How she got Cyrax to aid her in the first place, and Reptile before him.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* TheVamp

!!Frost
* AnIcePerson
* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Kung Fu Girl]]
* DistaffCounterpart: She's pretty much a female Sub-Zero.
* EpilepticTrees: Fans have speculated whether Frost is actually Sub-Zero's long-lost little sister, though WordOfGod says that they're not related.
* InternetBackdraft: Many fans did not take well to her at first, but she later turned opinions around when the game came out.
* NeutralEvil
* TheStarscream: To Sub-Zero. His reason for keeping her around is to try and redeem her, but this seems less and less likely with each subsequent game.


!!Blaze
* AscendedExtra: He started off as a background sprite in ''Mortal Kombat II''; in ''Deadly Alliance'' he was a secret character, and in ''Armageddon'', he's the final boss and MacGuffin, revealed to be the linchpin of a millenia-old plot to prevent the apocalypse.
* MacGuffin: In ''Armageddon''.
* PlayingWithFire
* TrueNeutral (An argument could be made for LawfulGood, but this is mostly due to his servitude to Argus and Delia, rather than any motive of his own.)

!!Bo'Rai Cho

* DrunkenBoxing

!!Ashrah
* TheAtoner
* [[HunterOfHisOwnKind Hunter Of Her Own Kind]]: Ashrah is a demon who hunts other demons on a quest to purify herself.
* KnightTemplar: In her quest to become purified, she's gone a bit crazy, especially since even after becoming pure enough to be expelled from the Netherrealm, she continued to hunt "evil" beings, turning to attention to Nitara's vampire race.
* LawfulNeutral, though she sees herself as LawfulGood.
* NiceHat
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She has also averted this. Played straight with her [[AbsoluteCleavage Alternate]] [[MostCommonSuperpower Outfit]], though it is still fairly conservative compared to some of the other female Kombatants.
* WomanInWhite
* [[spoiler:XanatosSucker: Her Kriss is actually evil, and is just using Ashrah to get its revenge on the Vampire race.]]

* PlayingWithFire: Well...actually lava.
* TheFettered

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy

!!Kira
* BoobsOfSteel
* [[{{ptitlecxy2puv74cfr}} Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them]]: Her ''Deception'' ending indicates that she doesn't think very highly of Kobra, yet in her ''Armageddon'' ending, [[spoiler: the first thing she does with her newly attained power is resurrect the slain Kobra. He kills her for being so weak, but still, it means a lot, coming from her.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He unleashes one of these on Onaga.
* OldMaster: For Li-Mei anyway.
* TheMentor
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: He defeats Onaga at the end of ''Deception'', though Onaga's soul is pulled out of Reptile's body before he can land the final blow.

* LawfulEvil
* SealedEvilInACan

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: After defeating Daegon in ''Konquest'', he takes his stolen sword back. Changing to his weapon style in the final fight with Blaze reveals...the same damn sword he's been using the entire game.
* IdiotHero: Is pretty gullible all in all. To be fair, some of it can be attributed to [[ColdSleepColdFuture how long he's been asleep]].
* SealedGoodInACan
* TooDumbToLive: He makes Shujinko look intelligent.
** Let's not give Shujinko too much credit, here.
* NeutralGood

!!Sareena
* AmazonBrigade: Was once part of one along with Kia and Jataaka.

* NobleDemon: Though she really isn't very demonic.
* ShipTease: With the Elder Sub-Zero. With the Younger in ''Armageddon''.

!!Fujin
* BlowYouAway
* LawfulGood
* TheMentor: He becomes this to Kung Lao, similar to Raiden and Liu Kang.
* PhysicalGod: He's the Wind God.
* RazorWind
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: "Pretty" may be stretching it, but he does have that long white hair.

!!Shinnok
* AntiClimaxBoss: He just didn't have the fear factor of guys like Shao Kahn or Shang Tsung.
** And on lower difficulty levels, he doesn't even use his Special Move Set changes.

* OmnicidalManiac
* PhysicalGod

!Introduced in ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe''

!!DC Characters
Here we're going to list the tropes that only/mostly apply to the game. For the other tropes, check their sheets.

!!!{{Batman}}
* BadassNormal
* BatOutOfHell: His "Bat Swarm" [[strike:[[FinishingMove Fatality]]]] [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]] involves him attaching a sonic device to attract bats to his opponent.
* CrazyPrepared: He's the [[MemeticMutation Goddamned Batman!]]
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: His Batarang.

!!![[strike:[[IAmNotShazam Shazam]]]]CaptainMarvel
* FunWithAcronyms: Expected. Even his moveset plays with this. All of his six moves are named after the Gods that empower him. (''Solomon'' Escape, Strength of ''Hercules'', ''Atlas'' Clap, Power Of ''Zeus'', ''Achilles'' Bolt and ''Mercury'' Bear Hug)
* LightningCanDoAnything: He uses lightning as a grab and it's also involved in his "Ground Slam" [[strike:Fatality]] [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]].
* LookWhatICanDoNow: In his ending, [[spoiler:he receives the powers of the Elder Gods.]]
* RyuAndKen: For Superman, with a few differences.
* ShockAndAwe
* TheUnexpected: And how!

!!!{{Catwoman}}
* AbsoluteCleavage
* BadassNormal
* FemmeFatale
* WhipItGood: Also involved in her "Neck Breaker" Fatality.
* WolverineClaws: Aside of being part of several of her attacks, she uses them in her "Claw Attack" fatality.

!!!{{Darkseid}}
* EyeBeams: Called "Omega Beam"
* LaserGuidedKarma: In his ending, [[spoiler:Shang Tsung tries to steal his soul, but it [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfires]] and leaves the sorcerer as an old man. Tsung swear allegiance to Darkseid to save his own life.]]

!!!{{Deathstroke}}
* BadassNormal
* {{Bowdlerization}}: In order to get the "T" rating for the game, his "Gunshot" fatality had to be censored.
* KatanasAreBetter
* [=~Me's A Crowd~=]: As a ShoutOut to the [=MKverse=], his ending involves [[spoiler:him creating a new clan, in order to face several new assassin groups which may come. Notice the similarities to the {{Mortal Kombat}}ants.]]
* PatrickSeitz
* RyuAndKen: He and Baraka are the only characters in the crossover who use a melee weapon.
* ShoutOut / ShownTheirWork: One of his fatalities resembles the way he killed his son Jericho back in TheNineties.
* TheUnexpected: And how!
** [[AndTheFandomRejoiced And At Least Parts Of The Fandom Rejoiced]]

!!!{{Flash}}
* FragileSpeedster
* RapidFireFisticuffs: He's almost the only character in the game who can rack up to 14 hits in a single combo. Oh, and his "Flashy Beatdown" [[strike:Fatality]] [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]] involves him not only using this, but also ''Rapid Fire Bicycle Kicks''.
* SpamAttack (See above)
* SuperSpeed

!!!GreenLantern
* DropTheHammer: His "Hammer Smash" [[strike:Fatality]] [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]].
* FridgeLogic: His other [[strike:Fatality]] [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]], "Orb Squeeze", involves him encasing his enemy in an orb, then levitating it, and crushing his enemy by shrinking the orb, a la Sonya Blade in ''Mortal Kombat III''. Where's the problem? It's NOT supposed to be lethal, however, in practice...
**In fact, during most other Heroic Brutalities, the loser wiggles around on the ground alot to prove they're not dead. But after this one the loser is eerily still...
* HilariousInHindsight: Raiden (or at least, a [[LawyerFriendlyCameo similar kharakter]]) was featured in DuckDodgers, alongside him. That was before this game, mind you!

!!!TheJoker
* BadassNormal
* BANGFlagGun: He pulls this first in his "Gunshot" fatality... then he subverts it by firing a real gun.
** BoomHeadshot
** {{Bowdlerization}}: In order to get the "T" rating for the game, said fatality had to be censored.
* ChaoticEvil
* CrazyPrepared
* ElectricJoybuzzer: One of his attacks, and is the trope picture.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His entire fighting style.
* RedBoxingGloves: One of his special moves involves one of these in a surprise box.
* RichardEpcar
* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:He doesn't care about the Rage flowing over him, as it's shown in his DC story chapter, where he even ''betrays'' Deathstroke.]]
* ShoutOut: In the DC side of the Story mode, after learning that Dark Kahn is behind the whole mess:
--> '''Joker:''' [[StarTrek KAAAAAAAAAAA]][[TheKhan AAAAAAAAAHN!]]
--> [Beat]
--> '''Deathstroke:''' Shut up, or I'll gut you.
* SkywardScream: See above.

!!!LexLuthor
* BadassNormal: He has an armor, however, to make up for the lack of superpowers.
* [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman Clothes Make The... uh... ]][[IncrediblyLamePun Superman]]: Well, pun aside, he fights in his armor.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: HE, of all characters, blames Superman for everything that's happened, in the beginnng of the last chapter:
--> '''Lex''': Did you see this? Did you see this? This is your fault, you made this to happen. And the people say that I'm the villain.
--> '''Superman''': [[WallBanger But Lex, you're the villain.]]
--> '''Lex''': Not this time. You've destroyed the world. My world. You've destroyed my own land, and you're going to pay for this! FIGHT!
* PoweredArmor
* RyuAndKen: He fights very much like Jax, with some differences, of course.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: His "Missile Attack" Fatality involves the enemy being devastated by a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin missile swarm]].

!!!{{Superman}}
* EyeBeams
* GroundPound: The eponymous "Ground Pound" [[strike:[[RunningGag Fatality]]]] [[ThouShaltNotKill Heroic Brutality]].
* RyuAndKen: For [[strike:[[IAmNotShazam Shazam]]]]CaptainMarvel, with a few differences.
* WeaksauceWeakness: In addition to his well-known weakness to Kryptonite, he also has a weakness to magic.

!!!WonderWoman
* ShoutOut: In her ending, she carries a dagger very reminiscent of Kira's one, and a shield which resembles ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'''s logo.

!!Dark Kahn
The BigBad of MortalKombatVsDCUniverse. He's the fusion of Shao Kahn and {{Darkseid}}, who were thrown to an interdimensional portal and a boomtube at the same time and place in space.

* BigBad
* CompositeCharacter: See above.
* HatePlague: His mere existence spreads this.
* OriginalGeneration
* SNKBoss

* EvilIsHammy (Is that the best you can do?)

*GreenThumb: In her frienship in ''Ultimate MK 3'', Sonya would salute and flowers would grow all over the floor.

* BackFromTheDead: During ''II'', she fought Kitana and lost, badly. Shinnok ressurected her in ''Ultimate 3''.

* [[{{ptitlecxy2puv74cfr}} Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them]]: Her ''Deception'' ending indicates that she doesn't think very highly of Kobra, yet in her ''Armageddon'' ending, [[spoiler: the first thing she does with her newly attained power is ressurect the slain Kobra. He kills her for being so weak, but still, it means a lot, coming from her.]]

* BackFromTheDead / IGotBetter: During his fight with Shujinko, Nightwolf casts a sealing spell that drags Onaga's essence out of Reptile's body and down into the Netherrealm. Shinnok later releases him in exchange for his cooperation. He also possesses the ability to constantly ressurect his mooks, thus their reputation for being invincible.

* KnightTemplar: In her quest to become purified, she's gone a bit crazy, especially since even after becomming pure enough to be expelled from the Netherrealm, she continued to hunt "evil" beings, turning to attention to Nitara's vampire race.
