Due to be a guest character from another franchise, Scorpion is the only character to not have any reference to being on the Regime or Insurgency. After his death, Hazon became the wraith Scorpion and entered the Mortal Kombat Tournament in seek of revenge. After Sub-Zero was killed, Quan Chi revealed to Scorpion it was him who killed Hanzo's family. In the ensuing fight, Scorpion finally killed Quan Chi, avenging the deaths of Satoshi, Harumi and the Shirai Ryu. Scorpion doesn't usually reveal his true devilish form that lingers underneath all of his robes and armor, but when sporting the Deadly Alliance skin in Mortal Kombat 1, he's all too happy to have his entire flaming head on full display during a fight. This is definitely the highlight of the costume, which really helps to make it feel special and unique, but the rest of the outfit is actually a more modernized version of his appearance in Deadly Alliance, which already looked amazing.

Although Scorpion is often strict and wrathful, he also has a caring side and is very honorable. In the original timeline, when he discovers that the Sub-Zero who enters the second tournament isn't Bi-Han, but his more merciful younger brother Kuai Liang, Scorpion vows to protect him to atone for killing his kin. In the second timeline, Scorpion intended to spare the first Sub-Zero in exchange for the resurrection of his clan, and only relented after Quan Chi inflamed his anger. Scorpion later expressed regret for killing Bi-Han, calling it "a mistake borne of rage". Most notably, in the Mortal Kombat X comic series, it is shown that he took in victims and survivors of the Netherrealm War and raised them within the re-established Shirai Ryu, reformed for the purpose of protecting Earthrealm. Among these refugees was Takeda Takahashi, the orphaned son of Kenshi, whom Hanzo raised as his own after Kenshi left him in his care. While it can technically be debated who the main character of Mortal Kombat is since the stories have focused on many different kombatants over the years, Scorpion is always the one who makes the front cover, so he needs to have a look that can draw people in. With that in mind, though, NetherRealm went absolutely above and beyond when designing his outfit for Mortal Kombat 11, which looks like the finalized version of what all his outfits had been leading up to. Scorpion appeared in several episodes of Mortal Kombat: Conquest, again played by Chris Casamassa, with an origin unrelated to the games. The seductive Vorpax guided Shang Tsung to a hidden recess in Outworld's cobalt mines which held a mystical emperor scorpion called the Scorpio. Shang Tsung unleashed the warrior soul trapped within it, which possessed Takeda, a guard for the Reyland family. Kung Lao was forced to fight the warrior and sent him to Hell ( Netherrealm) after Scorpion mortally wounded his love, Jen Reyland, who died shortly afterwards. Despite being shown to conjure fireballs as early as Deadly Alliance, it never appeared as an in-game technique until Mortal Kombat X and later in Mortal Kombat 11. In MK11, Scorpion's photo for his Tutorial uses an incorrect mask for his default appearance, using the alternate version that is yellow and white rather than the default gold one.
