Mortal Kombat is the most famous fighting game in the world. No wonder his characters are extremely popular in cosplay. On the occasion of the recent announcement In the new part of the series, we have collected the brightest works in the images of Scorpio, Sub-Zero, Milina, Sindel and many others.

Well-developed and charismatic fighters are the hallmark of any high-quality fighting game. Street Fighter brings back memories of Chun Li, Cammy and Zangief, and Soulcalibur is about Taki and Ivy Valentine. And Mortal Kombat is mainly associated with classic characters that appeared in the first games in the series.
Sonya knife
Lieutenant Sonya Blade debuted in the original Mortal Kombat Movie (1992). Together with Chun Li van Street Fighter 2, she proved to be one of the first playable heroines in fighting game history. And fans immediately fell in love with this athletic beauty. In there was no second part of it, which caused anger among fans of the series. The reason for Sonya’s disappearance is simple – arcade machines from the 90s had a limit on the number of characters, and the girl was sacrificed for the sake of newcomers. But after this incident, Miss Blade appeared in all licensed parts.
Over time, Sony’s costume has undergone major changes. If in the first parts her outfit resembled an aerobics uniform, then in the new chronology she wears military-style clothes.

But Sub-Zero attended all licensed parts of the series and many spin-offs. But here it is worth considering that two characters act under this name. The first is Bi-Han, who was killed by Scorpion and reborn as the ghost of Noob Saibot. The second is Kuai Liang, his younger brother. For a long time he was obsessed with revenge, which Emperor Shao Kahn took advantage of in his own interest.

Kitana
If Sonya, Scorpion and Sub-Zero debuted in the very first Mortal Kombat, then Kitana appeared only in the second part. This girl is the daughter of Sindel and the Princess of Edenia, who was adopted by Emperor Shao Kahn and raised as the future commander of his countless armies. However, she turned out to be too soft-spoken for the role. We shared more about Kitana’s fate in the new Mortal Kombat chronology in a separate article.

Milina
When it became clear to Shao Kahn that Kitan had to be replaced, the emperor instructed Shang Tsung to create a more violent clone of the princess. The wizard mixed the blood of an Edenian and a Tarkadan. The result was Milina, a girl with a luxurious figure, but huge fangs and an animal character. In the new timeline, she survived Shao Kahn, but died during a power struggle in Outworld.

jade
The first games in the Mortal Kombat series had many secrets and mysteries that captured the imagination of fans. For example, in the second part, secret characters appeared, differing from the main ones only in the color of their clothes. Initially, Jade was an exact copy of Kitana, but in a green suit. Later she was prescribed a full-fledged biography, in which there was room for friendship with the princess, secret assignments from Shao Kahn, betrayal of the emperor and cooperation with the Earth Kingdom.

Sindel
Kitana’s mother was the Queen of Edenia until her lands were taken over by Shao Kahn. The woman was forced to marry him. Sindel’s status as Empress of Outworld did not flatter her, however, and she soon took her own life. Later, she was resurrected by the necromancer Quan Chi and forced to kill nearly all of the Earthrealm’s defenders. However, as events show In Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, Sindel wasn’t nearly as kind and caring as she first seemed. Of the classic characters in the series, she debuted later than the rest – only in the third part.

scarlet
IN Mortal Kombat (2011), a reboot of the series, featuring only one completely new character, Scarlet. It is made from the blood of fallen soldiers. She was to keep an eye on Quan Chi and kill him if it turned out that the necromancer was plotting against the emperor. But this did not happen, because Shao Kahn died earlier. In combat, Scarlet relies on blood magic, which gives her a unique set of abilities unlike any other fighter’s abilities.
