** Not to mention how he killed Quan Chi. He was so '''hellbent''' on killing him, that even after D'Vorah stabs him, Quan Chi finds himself with a kunai in the back and Scorpion shouting '''[[CatchPhrase GET OVER HERE!]]''' Before delivering the [[OffWithHisHead coup de grace]]. If not for the fact he damns the rest of the revenant kombatants and indirectly freeing Shinnok, this would be the biggest CMOA in ''MKX''.

* Issue #1 has Kenshi and his son Takeda (then an infant, whose mother has just being murdered) being chased by the Red Dragon. It seems that Hsu Hao's hordes were gaining the upper hand, not knowing that the Red Dragon was trespassing Shirai Ryu territory. Cue Scorpion first...

'''Kotal Kahn:''' You sacrificed our peoples' '''dignity'''... for a gem?\\
'''Kotal K'etz:''' It is '''not''' a gem. It is a '''portal stone'''. It is time for you to fulfill the rite of '''realmwalk'''. Survive the harsh Earthrealm atmosphere... and you inherit my helm.

--> '''Kotal Kahn:''' Surviving in Earthrealm was daunting. When my legs would go no further, I reflected on my father's words: "You are not ready". Perhaps he was not warning me... but '''challenging''' me to '''conquer''' this place. I journeyed until I reached a land that reminded me of home... '''the Amazon'''. This tribe stood no chance against an Osh-Tekk warrior. I knew at a glance, as did they. By fate, I was not the only warrior they encountered that day. I was just the '''only''' warrior on their side. I reflected on my mission. What if I wasn't here to conquer... but to '''save''' this tribe, as my father could not save ours? My father had spoken true: war was '''constant''' for the tribe, against their own neighbors, and against the men from the sea. Forged by battle, I became more than a warrior. I was '''a god'''. I taught the tribe to conquer their foes in the Osh-Tekk way. In exchange, they gave me a new name: '''Buluc, the War God'''. But as their enemies dwindled, I grew restless. I elected to '''return''' to Outworld, expecting my father's '''pride'''.

Over the past decade, we have driven Mileena's forces '''deep underground'''. Her threat to our empire is so reduced, we barely sense it, we may even forget she's there. '''This''' was my father's lesson: even the mightiest warriors are defeated by the '''smallest''' threats. We will hunt Mileena and her co-conspirators... We will crush every rock they hide under... Until we '''eradicate all opposition''' to this empire... no matter how great or small!

* In a later chapter, Cassie Cage finally [[GainingTheWillToKill gains her will to kill]], and murders Mavado, with help from her friend Jacqui, before the Red Dragon clan can kidnap both of them. The best part? While Cassie had the heritage (by inheriting her father's powers) and Jacqui was an olympic kickboxing champion, both of them never had been in a true combat situation. And this is way before they officially enter the Special Forces!

* The last issue of the chapter has Goro showing that even without his four arms, he's still a former champion of Mortal Kombat by beating the shit out of a Red Dragon member who insulted him with kicks and his race's [[SignatureMove trademark]] [[GoombaStomp stomping]] [[DeathFromAbove move.]] He then convinces Daegon go make an alliance with him... by giving him Kenshi, whom he personally defeated and captured.

** Later, Johnny is laying into Sub-Zero, he suddenly stops and finds that Scorpion is right behind him. Hit the button prompt and he whoops them two-on-one in three moves: elbows Scorpion, [[GroinAttack ball punches]] Sub-Zero, and then [[PutTheirHeadsTogether slams theirs heads together]], stunning Sub-Zero long enough for Kenshi to toss him out of the carrier.

*** Even the other characters in that chapters showed how badass they were. Raiden and Fujin go BashBrothers against Shinnok's forces, even defeating a team of revenants that consisted of Quan Chi, Stryker, Kabal, and Sndel. Similarly, Kenshi fights against Nightwolf and defeated him in an OffscreenMomentofAwesome. Considering that Nightwolf killed Sindel when she was empowered and killing his fellow Earthrealm warriors at the cost of his own life, Kenshi's victory against him is pretty impressive.
** When Shinnok [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown attacked the downed Sonya]], Johnny, coated with his green shadow energy, [[TakingTheBullet dives in front of the blast]]... and ''{{No Sell}}s'' it!
** Johnny going toe-to-toe with Shinnok, and beating him by effortlessly winging his amulet using his foot to Raiden. Yes, a mere (though empowered) mortal defeating a (fallen) Elder God.

** Even better is that Sonya shows that she also TookALevelInBadass when she fights at Quan Chi's lair. The fight starts with Scorpion and Quan Chi teaming up on her, only for Sonya to knock the sorcerer aside and then face Scorpion in a one on one fight, on the Netherrealm, where he gets stronger due to HomeFieldAdvantage and win.
*** Johnny also shows that he is still a badass, easily handling Jax and Sub-Zero, to the point on which the latter preferred to fight Sonya over Johnny in spite of having Jax as an ally. Sonya then proceeds to make short work of him. Finally, Johnny actually beats Jax again...the only reason Jax nearly killed him was because Johnny lowered his guard when he thought the fight was over.

* In Chapter 8, Jackson "Jax" Briggs is back in the game. After a little visit from Sonya, he decides to help the squad tasked with capturing Quan Chi. Not only does he mow through the revenants, but he kicks Sindel's ass along the way. Yeah, the Shang Tsung-empowered ''Sindel'', the one who killed him and 6 of his allies back in the previous games. And after that he dodges/deflects Liu Kang's Fireballs, closing in on him and Quan Chi. After that, he proceeds to rightfully uppercut Quan Chi, knocking the Sorcerer out cold. The best part is that, while Jax was capable of doing all of this, he was also facing his fears and the source of his trauma in order to make it a little heartwarming as well, not to mention the interaction between him and Jacqui at the start of the chapter. And he also ''stood up'' for Raiden's actions in the past despite it was something of Raiden's fault.

* In Chapter 9, Scorpion and Sub-Zero finally bury the hatchet (and not in each other's backs) after they are freed from Quan Chi's sorcery, with Sub-Zero extending an olive branch to a reluctant Scorpion after discovering Quan Chi's complicity in the Shirai-Ryu's extermination. What follows not long after is a long-overdue NoHoldsBarredBeatdown against the one ''truly'' responsible for his clan and family's demise. Also consider this: Quan Chi has been known to be a proud owner of KarmaHoudini. Scorpion would have none of that shit, [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty tore his warranty]], and killed him on the spot. Maybe at least he and everyone in this timeline will be finally free of one gigantic ManipulativeBastard with the tenacity of a cockroach...
** Not to mention how he killed Quan Chi. He was so '''hellbent''' on killing him, that even after D'vorah stabs him, Quan Chi finds himself with a Kunai in the back and Scorpion Shouting '''[[CatchPhrase GET OVER HERE!]]''' Before delivering the [[OffWithHisHead Coup De Grace]]. If not for the fact he damns the rest of the revenant kombatants and indirectly freeing Shinnok, this would be the biggest CMOA in ''MKX''.
** And before that, he gives Quan Chi the much-needed ShutUpHannibal treatment he deserves by first giving him the stiff backhand he sorely deserved, then retorts the sorcerer's calling him "Scorpion" with a mighty bellow of "'''[[CharacterDevelopment My name... is HANZO HASASHI!]]'''"
*** Even if you're not a Scorpion fan, after all the years and all the games of him being just an undead monster seeking vengeance, having him back as the living Hanzo Hasashi and rebuilding his clan is a trifecta of awesome, heartwarming, and tearjerker. Also, after the years of their rivalries being ignited again and again, Sub-Zero and Scorpion finally making honest peace and respecting each other as fellow Earthrealm warriors is another trifecta.

'''Johnny:''' Funny... beautiful... saved the world. My work here is done.
** The second, just right after that scene, is Raiden sacrificing his "good" self in order to cleanse the Jinsei from Shinnok's corruption. Like in the past MK games, he's the one to save the day, the world, and everyone's lives. Not to mention reducing Shinnok to a bare head.

* Let's talk about Tri-borg. In the reveal, it is seen taking Sektor's head from the Lin Kuei temple and assimilating kombat data. Know what this means? Sektor is coming back, but because of the Variation system, it copies ''Cyrax'' and ''Smoke'' as well! Furthermore, the Kombat Pack 2 gameplay trailer confirms that all three cyborgs are returning as one character. Each stance is dedicated to each cyborg while their fatalities have the trio gang up on their target. So you can have any cyborg of your choice take on [[Film/{{Predator}} the creature who inspired their designs]] AND get to see Cyber-Smoke's new moveset which combines the new attacks his human form received in 9 with the Sektor/Scorpion moveset hybrid from 3. And if that wasn't enough, Kombat Kast #16: "The Cyber Initiative" confirmed that the three of them only share a few brutalities and the finishers, meaning that we indeed have Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor as individual characters instead of a cyborg with some features from each of the previous cyborgs. And if that isn't enough, the end of the stream shows that EVEN CYBER SUB-ZERO IS IN. Collective "HELL YEAH" anyone?
* The sheer amount of variations in the game. There are 33 playable characters in the game (including DLC), and each one has 3 variations. Do the math, and that makes a total of 99 variations and 99 different movesets! With Cyber Sub-Zero being included, that makes a grand total of 100!

* Not exactly an awesome story moment or having to do with gameplay, but if you kept up with the announcements of the characters that made it in as playable, and play through story mode without spoiling yourself, you might be pleasantly surprised when you get to fight Tanya, Rain, Baraka, ''and'' Sindel, with all their ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' moves and combos.
* Meta-example. Mortal Kombat X, along with Gamestop, was the sponsor for Erik Jones' car in the 2015 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Reilly_Auto_Parts_300 O'Reilly Auto Parts 300]] on April 10.

* The following issue had Johnny Cage deactivating a tense standoff between Kotal Kahn's forces and the Special Forces after [[spoiler:an enraged Sonya taking a SF team with her with all of the intentions of killing Kotal Kahn]]. In a series where misunderstandings are usually solved with violence, Johnny's goofy mediation managed to prevent a war between Earthrealm and a severely weakened Outworld without resorting to it.

[[spoiler:by giving him Kenshi, whom he personally defeated and captured.]]

** Another example, surprisingly enough, is failing his QTE. With the other kombatants (barring Sonya), this leads to them getting their asses kicked. With Jax? He simply ''tanks'' [[spoiler:Liu Kang's Fireballs]] like they're nothing and proceeds to fight him afterwards!.

Furthermore, the Kombat Pack 2 gameplay trailer confirms that all three cyborgs are returning as one character. Each stance is dedicated to each cyborg while their fatalities have the trio gang up on their target. So you can have any cyborg of your choice take on [[Film/{{Predator}} the creature who inspired their designs]] AND get to see Cyber-Smoke's new moveset which combines the new attacks his human form received in 9 with the Sektor/Scorpion moveset hybrid from 3. And if that wasn't enough, Kombat Kast #16: "The Cyber Initiative" confirmed that the three of them only share a few brutalities and the finishers, meaning that we indeed have Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor as individual characters instead of a cyborg with some features from each of the previous cyborgs. And if that isn't enough, [[spoiler:the end of the stream shows that EVEN CYBER SUB-ZERO IS IN]]. Collective "HELL YEAH" anyone?

*** It's even better when you remember that Johnny used to be the ButtMonkey in the previous game while Scorpion and Sub-Zero were among the strongest characters. In just a few years, he TookALevelInBadass too many times to make child's play out of them before defeating them in single combat. For further examples, he easily moped the floor with Smoke (now Enenra) and then saved Sonya from a revenant Jax, incidentally avenging his defeat against him from the previous game.
*** Even the other characters in that chapters showed how badass they were. Raiden and Fujin go BashBrothers against Shinnok's forces, even defeating a team of revenants that consisted of Quan Chi, Stryker, Kabal, and Syndel. Similarly, Kenshi fights against Nightwolf and defeated him in an OffscreenMomentofAwesome. Considering that Nightwolf killed Sindel when she was empowered and killing his fellow Earthrealm warriors at the cost of his own life, Kenshi's victory against him is pretty impressive.
