Being one of gaming's most recognized icons has painted a mighty big target on the yellow back of the ninja spectre Scorpion. Nerds have been put on notice as he takes revenge against joypad warriors. Haters be warned: He's mad as Hell and not gonna take it any more! The following video contains graphic content. Viewer discretion is advised.

The video is the work of Machinima affiliate Bat in the Sun. Responsible for some truly impressive "fan" videos featuring costumed heroes, the group are known for their Super Beat Down fantasy battles.

Scorpion will take on a more qualified opponent in White Ranger, when the results of the last SPBD fan vote are revealed! The martial arts main event will be released later this month with an outcome determined by September vote [preview].

Directed by Aaron Schoenke, the clip also features a cameo by Sonya Blade. It was created to celebrate the release of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Season II.
