A major fan theory surrounding Mortal Kombat 1’s take on Scorpion has seemingly been confirmed by one of NetherRealm’s developers. Players were first introduced to Scorpion in the original Mortal Kombat way back in 1992, and the undead, fire-controlling, yellow-clad ninja warrior has been the face of the franchise ever since. Scorpion has appeared in every Mortal Kombat game and movie adaptation, starred in his own direct-to-video animated film, and was even featured as a guest combatant in the first Injustice game.
