Originally run during the hype cycle of Mortal Kombat (2011); ScrewAttack have brought their Top 10 Worst Mortal Kombat Characters back for a fresh run on YouTube!

Granted, this isn't exactly breaking news, but since we didn't run it back in April 2011, it's worth a second look. It's always interesting to gauge perspective from outside the diehard MK fanbase, and it's fair to say a lot has changed since the pre-release of the MK reboot! Has time healed these old wounds?...

For our money you can't fault the soft balls -- the morts who truly deserve to remain in obscurity are safe bets. We can't detach ourselves from the good work that's redeemed some characters, or the blistering potential that remains locked in others, but we'll leave it to you to decide how they stack up on the forums.

You can check out more ScrewAttacks on Mortal Kombat, including: Ten Least Favourite Fatalities, Death Battle: Akuma v Shang Tsung & Death Battle: Thor v Raiden.

Don't forget your old pals at Mortal Kombat Online! There is no knowledge that is not power and we've pooled our collective expertise to kountdown our Top 10: Hidden & Unlockable Characters, DC Heroes We Want Among Us, DC Villains We Want Among Us, Things MK Has To Be Thankful For & Must-Have Merchandising Items!
