![]() ![]() Scorpion is one of the core characters of the franchise: once a warrior of a Japanese ninja clan, he was murdered by a rival called Bi-Han (a.k.a. The sworn enemy of Sub-Zero, Scorpion's most famous fatality move is also accompanied by his famous catchphrase, " Get over here!" - both of which make an appearance in the Mortal Kombat trailer. He also starred in USA's comedy-drama Necessary Roughness, and played season 2 villain Matthew Applewhite in Desperate Housewives. Jax is played by Mehcad Brooks, who is best known for his role as James Olsen in the CW series Supergirl. This latest new backstory for Jax gives him a straightforward reason to want revenge against Sub-Zero. In the comics, it's Baraka who robs Major Briggs of his arms. In last year's animated film Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, Jax's arms are gruesomely ripped off by Goro. In the 1995 movie, Jax's arms were actually bionic sleeves that he wore over his normal arms. The story behind Jax's arms has changed throughout different Mortal Kombat games and adaptations. It appears that during Jax and Sonya's first encounter with Sub-Zero, the Cryomancer froze his arms and then shattered them into gory little ice chunks. Major Jackson "Jax" Briggs is easily recognized by his bionic arms, and the trailer for Mortal Kombat reveals a new backstory for how he lost his original arms. His Mortal Kombat character was originally written as Japanese-American, but was retconned as an Australian after Trevor Goddard's take on the role in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. Kano is played by Australian actor Josh Lawson, who played thickly-accented studio executive Kench Allenby in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, and had a recurring role as pharmacist Tate Staskiewicz in NBC's sitcom Superstore. ![]() Related: Mortal Kombat Reboot Is Missing Kano’s Eye Plate (Why?) As demonstrated in the trailer, Kano is a cyborg and his bionic eye can fire a deadly laser. The trailer also shows the end result of a finishing move lifted from Mortal Kombat 11, in which Kano punches through his opponent's chest and rips out their heart. Kano is notoriously treacherous, however, so it wouldn't be at all surprising if Mortal Kombat includes a heel turn for the character. Then there's the fact that he appears to be working alongside Sonya and Jax, which is surprising given that Kano has a long-standing enmity with Sonya in the games. For starters, his bionic eye is a lot more subtle, marked only by a red glow in the eye itself and some scarring on his face around it, in contrast to the metal plate he has over his eye in the games. Warner Bros.Kano's appearance in the Mortal Kombat trailer marks some of the biggest changes from the games.
