Kitana gave a new face to the women of kombat in MKII! The masked fan fighter was an Outworld assassin, but quickly became a fan-favourite working against her adopted step-father to save her realm, and ours! She fought against the invasion in UMK3, living to see the liberation of her once merged realm of Edenia! She returned in MK Gold to help stop fallen Elder God Shinnok, whose rise threatened her restored kingdom! In Deadly Alliance she rejoined Earth's champions to avenge the murdered Liu Kang. In Deception, it was Edenia that was once again threatened by an Outworld Emperor. Armageddon came to her world, whose freedom was undone by the reboot of the timeline! In this reality, Kitana gave her life fighting the Invasion of Earthrealm, only to be remade as a revenant under Quan Chi's power. In MKX, she remains in the Netherrealm, reunited with Liu Kang as the old powers are defeated.

Shinnok once stood with the Elder Gods, but his indiscretions saw him cast into the fires of the Netherrealm! He escaped the inferno in MK4, exploiting an Edenian noble to return to the mortal plane. His armies slaughtered the Heavens, but the intervention of Raiden and the heroes of Earthrealm undid his sinister plans. He returned to his throne in Hell, awaiting the opportunity to rise once again in an alliance of powers during Armageddon! The reboot of the timeline undid all that had happened, and Shinnok capitalized more than any one. With Edenia still a part of Outworld, he took advantage of the depleted forces of Earthrealm to enter Raiden's domain and conquer it! In MKX, he was defeated by Johnny Cage, but returned twenty-five years later to corrupt the very realm's spirit! Despite his ultimate defeat by a new generation of komabtants, Shinnok succeeded in tainting the Earth's Jinsei. A legacy that lives on in the corrupted soul of Raiden!

Champion (2016) Best Result Champion (2012)

Noob Saibot was a secret fighter first discovered in MKII, but time would retroactively reveal him to be the deceased Sub-Zero of the original MK! Reborn a wraith in the Netherrealm, he would lurk in the shadows of MK Trilogy and MK4 as an agent of the Brothers of the Shadow. In MK Deception, the truth of his identity was finally revealed as he teamed with Smoke as a tag team sub-boss making a play for personal power. The pair would create a clan of cyber-oni in Armageddon, using them to battle his younger brother Kuai Liang and his new Lin Kuei clan. When the timeline was rebooted, his destiny to die by the hands of Scorpion repeated. This time his corrupt corporeal form was thrown into the purity of a soulnado, sending him to an uncertain future still to be resolved.

Sub-Zero is the warrior called Kuai Liang, who became a stalwart of the series after inheriting his dead brother's mantle in MKII! The reveal of his identity was one of MK's most memorable moments! He fled his past in MK3 when the Lin Kuei began their forced Cyber Initiative. In MK4, his brother's killer came for him in a grand plot manipulated by the sorcerer Quan Chi! Freed by the truth and the collapse of his old clan, Sub-Zero became the new Lin Kuei Grandmaster in Deadly Alliance. He continued to take control of his destiny in Deception, learning more about an ancient lineage of cryomancers who left a powerful suit of armor to be claimed. In Armageddon, his brother Bi-Han returned as Noob Saibot at the side of his robotic friend Smoke, leading a clan of cyber-oni against the new Lin Kuei. Their feud would be unresolved when the timeline rebooted, creating a reality where Sub-Zero became a cyber-assassin instead of Smoke! They would both join the ranks of the Netherrealm when they died fighting the Outworld Invasion. In MKX, they were part of the revenant army attacking the Earth - until the remade Sub-Zero was restored to life. Twenty-five years later, Sub-Zero is the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei once again! Most recently he has crossed over into the world of Injustice 2 as a guest fighter representing Mortal Kombat in a world of superheroes!

For twenty-five years they have shared one of Mortal Kombat's most well known legacies! They are iconic warriors who've lived and died in the saga of MK. It's the Semi Finals and the 25th Anniversary of Mortal Kombat! Who reigns supreme? Choose their destiny! FIGHT!
