MK 2011 info: Skarlet (new character)

2011-05-29T12:00:00.003+08:00

Shao Kahn has many warriors under his command, but his trust lies solely in the fighters of his own creation. Warrior blood gathered from countless battlefields, fused with sorcery, produced his most effective enforcer yet: SKARLET. An expert tracker, she preys on those deemed enemies of the empire. During kombat, SKARLET gains strength from her opponent's blood, absorbing it through her skin. Shao Kahn has a new mission for this formidable kombatant: discover Quan Chi's true intentions and kill him if he plots betrayal of the emperor.

Signature Moves
Up Slash: Skarlet unsheathes one of her swords and slices her opponent upward, allowing a juggle.
* The enhanced version is called Dual Up Slash and adds an additional hit.

Down Slash: Skarlet unsheathes one of her swords and slices her opponent downward, allowing a juggle.
* The enhanced version is called Dual Down Slash and adds an additional hit.

Dagger Toss: Skarlet throws two of the kunai strapped to her leg. The second kunai can be delayed.

* The enhanced version is called Tri Air Dagger and allows her to throw 3 kunais at a time. This has close and far commands.

Red Dash: Skarlet dashes with a blood trail.
* The enhanced version is called Krimson Dash and lets her dash a longer distance.

Red Slide: Skarlet slides on a pool of blood and attacks her enemies. This can only be done during Red Dash.

X-Ray - Blood Bank: Skarlet forces the base of her palm into her opponent's face, breaking the skull. She then kicks the opponent in the face, jabbing their eye with the heel of her boot.

Fatalities
Blood Bath: Skarlet takes one of her ninja swords and stabs her opponent in the head. She then takes the other sword and slashes her opponent's throat, holding them back as she lets their blood gush on her face.

Make It Rain: Skarlet stabs herself with her swords. She then becomes a puddle of blood and moves underneath the opponent. She then creates four blood pillars, which stab the hands and legs of the opponent, causing them to elevate. Skarlet appears under the opponent, slices their stomach and proceeds to bathe in the blood and guts that pour out from their wound.

Babality: Skarlet takes out a bottle of milk and starts to drink. She then spits out the milk, taking out a bottle of blood and drinks that instead.

MK 2011 info: Kratos (crossover character)

2011-05-28T12:00:00.001+08:00

Kratos is the main character in Sony Computer Entertainment's God of War series, which is loosely based on Greek mythology. Kratos first appeared in God of War, which was released in March 2005, and whose success led to the development of five additional games featuring him as the protagonist. He appears as a guest character in the PlayStation 3 version of Mortal Kombat (2011) because Ed Boon and the Mortal Kombat team felt Kratos would "fit perfectly". However, he isn't part of the story mode.

Ancient Greece knew no more bloodthirsty a warrior than Kratos, who for a time was the God of War. Mortal once more, Kratos withdrew from the ages-old clash between men and gods. But his solitude was broken when he was ripped through space and time. As the madness subsided, Kratos found himself in present-day Outworld, kneeling before Shao Kahn. To ensure his victory in Mortal Kombat, the emperor had invoked an ancient ritual, sacrificing the souls of his vanguard to summon and enslave the most powerful warrior of all time. But the spell alone could not contain Kratos, who soon regained his free will. Enraged by Shao Kahn's arrogance, Kratos vowed to rip the warlord's spine from his body. The God of War had returned to battle.

Signature Moves

Kratos' fighting style often uses the Blades of Exile in his combos. He also has other weapons from the third game as well, such as the Nemean Cestus, the Bow of Apollo, the Head of Helios and Blade of Olympus.

Apollo's Bow: Kratos pulls out the Bow of Apollo and shoots two arrows.
* The enhanced version is called Apollo's Inferno. Kratos fires three flaming arrows in an arc.

Golden Fleece: After parrying an attack, Kratos slams his Blades of Exile on the ground, creating a shockwave that sends his opponent into the air.
* The enhanced version is called Argos Ram. Kratos slams his blades on the ground, causing a shockwave.

Head Of Helios: Kratos pulls out the Head of Helios, which emits a small shockwave of light that blinds the opponent, leaving them vulnerable for a second attack.
* The enhanced version is called Helios Flare and has a longer range.

Zeus' Rage: A quicktime event style move where Kratos slashes the opponent and then punches them when they're on their knees.
* The enhanced version is called Revenge Of Olympus and adds a stab with the Blade of Olympus.

Hermes Dash: Using the Boots of Hermes, Kratos dashes through his opponent, damaging him/her and leaving a trail of fire. It can be charged.
The enhanced version is called Hermes Rush and is slightly more damaging.

X-Ray Move - Nemean Cestus: Kratos anchors himself to his opponent with his Blades of Exile, then slides toward them. He then stabs his opponent with both Blades as he reaches him/her, slicing the ribcage. Then, he punches the opponent in the face with the Nemean Cestus, shattering their skull.

Fatalities
Blade of Olympus: Kratos stabs the opponent with both Blades of Exile, wrenching out pieces of flesh as they are removed. As the opponent tries to stop the bleeding, Kratos draws the Blade of Olympus and drives it through their chest, finally slicing vertically through their torso. After a while, the sliced body stops moving and falls. Kratos then drives the blade into the ground, growling.

Medusa's Gaze: Kratos pulls out Medusa's Head and turns the petrified opponent to stone. Then he wields the Nemean Cestus and lunges through the opponent, shattering them into tiny pieces.

Babality: Kratos starts pulling on a Medusa plush doll's head until it is ripped off and holds it triumphantly.

MK 2011 info: Cyber Sub-Zero

2011-05-27T12:00:00.002+08:00

As a cyborg, SUB ZERO'S natural strength is further enhanced through cybernetics. While he has a noticeably lighter frame, he appears to easily be the strongest and most capable of the cyborg ninjas, not only for soundly defeating his former Lin Kuei brethren Sektor and his older brother, but both Shokan champions, Kintaro and Goro single-handed at the same time. He still retains his old cryomancy powers and wields the same skill he had when he was human, but these have been translated into a fighting style especially suited for his unique frame, taking attributes from both his original form and Cyrax.

While he can fire ice blasts in an instant from his chest cavity, he still performs the charging motion subconsciously to help focus his power. He still retains the ability to shape the cold around his body into solid weaponry and thus, regularly uses an ice sword in battle, albeit with a different, much larger shape featuring a hand guard. Like Cyrax, he has the ability to teleport by separating his limbs and reconfiguring at a different location. While he has lost the ability to make ice clones, he is instead given the ability to flash-freeze himself temporarily, passing the freeze to melee attackers for a quick counterattack.

Signature Moves
Ice Ball: Cyber Sub-Zero sends a ball of ice directly towards the opponent to temporarily freeze them in place for a free hit. This move is similar to his freeze in human form, except it's smaller and is fired directly from the chest.
* The enhanced version is called Ice Beam. Cyber Sub-Zero shoots a beam of ice instead of a ball, and the opponent stays frozen for a longer amount of time.

Ice Bomb: Cyber Sub-Zero drops an ice bomb from his chest compartment, when the bomb explodes, it damages the opponent. It will freeze the opponent if the bomb is in very close range to them. There is a short, long and very long range variation of the attack. This move is similar to Cyrax's Bomb.
* The enhanced version is called Cryo Bomb and sends out three bombs at once. It is unblockable.

Slide: Cyber Sub-Zero slides across the floor, knocking the opponent off their feet. This move is taken directly from his human form.
The enhanced version is called Cyber-Slide. Cyber Sub-Zero travels further and faster, and follows-up with a flying kick.

Teleport: Cyber Sub-Zero's limbs detach from his body with a flash of blue-white light. Then they reattach behind his enemy. This move is very similar to Cyrax's Exploding Teleport.
The enhanced version is called Bangport. Cyber Sub-Zero's detached limbs hit the opponent while teleporting, damaging the opponent.

Ice Parry: Cyber Sub-Zero flash-freezes himself in a sheet of ice. If he is touched by melee attacks while in this state, he will pass the freeze to his opponent and hit them with his Kori Blade. This does not work when hit low.
The enhanced version is called Frozen Parry. Cyber Sub-Zero completely freezes his opponent without a counterattack.

Divekick: While in the air, Cyber Sub-Zero dives down in a diagonal kick. This can be done in close and far proximity.
The enhanced version is called Powerkick and Cyber Sub-Zero kicks the opponent twice.

X-Ray Move - Cool Down: Cyber Sub-Zero does a Dive Kick to get behind his opponent, dizzying them, then creates a ball of ice and slams it to the back of their head, damaging their skull. Then he creates a Kori Blade and stabs upward through their back before pushing his opponent to the ground.

Fatalities
Kold Fusion: Cyber Sub-Zero enters a code on his arm and then jumps on his opponent, freezing himself with them. After that, they both explode into shards of ice, leaving only the opponent's legs. This fatality resembles the Hara-Kiri fatalities of Mortal Kombat: Deception as well as Cyrax's MK3 Self-Destruct Fatality (further giving him resemblance to Cyrax, along with a similar teleport and ranged bombs).

Brain Freeze: Cyber Sub-Zero fires 2 shurikens from his chest, one into each of the opponent's eyes. After that, he charges an ice blast and fires it while shooting a third shuriken. Both get into the opponent's brain, where they spin, shredding it, which is shown in a fashion similar to the X-Ray moves. As the shuriken spins, the opponent is seen falling to the floor, dead, their limbs twitching in awkward ways.

Babality: Cyber Sub-Zero plays with an ice bomb. He then drops it, freezing himself into a block of ice. His cries can be heard while frozen.

MK 2011 info: Sub-Zero

2011-05-26T12:00:00.001+08:00

An assassin of the Lin Kuei clan, KUAI LIANG commands the power of ice and cold. Unlike other members of his clan, he and his older brother, Bi-Han, were abducted as children by the Lin Kuei and trained in the techniques of assassination throughout their lives. Though his initial codename is Tundra, he has now assumed the mantle of Sub-Zero to honor his brother after Bi-Han's mysterious death. With the help of his fellow Lin Kuei Smoke, Sub-Zero tirelessly hunts the one who killed his brother.

Signature Moves
Ice Freeze: Sub-Zero sends a blast of ice directly towards the opponent to temporarily freeze them in place for a free hit. He could also freeze opponents in midair, if timed correctly. In the earlier Mortal Kombat games, if Sub-Zero were to freeze the opponent twice, the second iceball would defrost the opponent and freeze Sub-Zero, setting him up for a free hit. Like Scorpion's Spear, it has had different depictions. In MK, it is depicted as frozen liquid while in MKII to MKT, it is depicted a series of ice shards; From MK4 onward it is an energy blast of ice condensed into a spherical form, but in Armageddon, it is depicted as a strong beam of energy. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, the Ice Freeze can also perform a small bit of damage, even to enemies who are immune to being frozen by the move. In MK 2011 this is called Iceball.
* The enhanced version is called Icebeam. Instead of a single ball of ice, Sub-Zero will shoot a beam of ice, and also the opponent is frozen for a longer amount of time.

Slide: Sub-Zero slides across the floor, knocking the opponent off their feet. It is assumed Sub-Zero slides by freezing the soles of his feet. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Sub-Zero can perform an uppercut or throw a snowball-like projectile after executing the Slide. In MK 2011, he leaves a trail of ice behind.
* The enhanced version is called Power Slide. After Sub-Zero hits the opponent, he will follow up with an additional attack (twin palms).

Ground Ice: Sub-Zero freezes the floor and whoever steps on the circle of ice will temporarily slip all over the place, setting the opponent up for a free hit. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, the Ground Ice maneuver can be upgraded to allow Sub-Zero to freeze the ground around him in a radius affecting multiple enemies or even create chunks of ice to pop opponents into the air. In MK 2011, the opponent is frozen to the ground, and the move is called Ice Puddle.
* The enhanced version is called Ground Freeze and it freezes nearly the whole screen.

Ice Clone: Sub-Zero creates an ice clone of himself anywhere he chooses, and anyone who touches it will freeze.
* The enhanced version is called Ice Statue. The clone will stay for a longer period of time.

X-Ray Move - Deep Freeze: Sub-Zero charges at the opponent with a cold shoulder then punches into the stomach, freezes the opponent's liver inside their abdomen, crushing it before applying a brutal headbutt breaking their skull. This can be delayed.

Fatalities
Have an Ice Day: Sub-Zero freezes his opponent from the feet up to the waist. He then rips the opponent's torso off.

Spinal Smash: Sub-Zero rips the opponent's spine and skull out through his/her chest. He then freezes the opponent's body and smashes it with the spine.

Spine Rip: Sub-Zero grabs the opponent's neck, and tears out their spine and skull. This Fatality was taken directly from his older brother Bi Han aka Noob Saibot. This was later used as a finisher in Armageddon.
* In MK 2011, this Fatality is unlocked via a DLC code. Sub-Zero can use this in any costume.

Babality: Sub-Zero urinates on the floor and freezes it with his feet, making him slip on the frozen urine puddle and start to cry.

MK 2011 info: Kurtis Stryker

2011-05-25T14:40:00.003+08:00

One of New York City's Finest, KURTIS STRYKER is a one-man SWAT team. He was once decorated for single-handedly thwarting the terrorists in the famous Greenberg Tower Incident, and again for rescuing passengers of a speeding crosstown bus rigged to explode. STRYKER was unprepared, however, for the magical portal that spewed forth creatures from another realm--a realm he didn't even know existed. So far his kombat training has gotten him through the first wave of creatures. It'll take more than rocket-launching Tarkatans to stop this die-hard cop.

Signature Moves
Baton Trip: Stryker uses his baton to trip the opponent. This is also called Baton Sweep.
* The enhanced version is called Baton Bash. Stryker trips the opponent and then while they're lying on their back smashes them over the head with his baton.

Baton Throw: Stryker jumps forward and uses his baton to fling the opponent behind him. This is also called Roll Toss.
* The enhanced version is called Roll Out, the range is increased and Stryker tosses the opponent across the screen.

Grenade: Stryker throws a concussion grenade at his opponent. Two versions of this move exist, one allowing the projectile to be thrown in a high arc, called High Grenade Toss and another with a low arc, called Low Grenade Toss. It sometimes follows Stryker saying "EAT THIS!"

Double Grenade: Stryker throws two grenades at his opponent. There are also high and low versions of this move. In MK 2011 this is the enhanced version of the two Grenade throws.

Gun Blast: Stryker pulls out a pistol and shoots his opponent.
* The enhanced version is called Gun Massacre, and Stryker uses two pistols to fire multiple rounds.

X-Ray Move - Busted: Stryker pulls out a flashlight and shines it into the opponent's eyes, blinding them and causing them to kneel down. Stryker then slams his flashlight on top of the opponent's skull, breaking it. He then slams the opponent in the side of the face with a baton that breaks the jaw. He finishes the combo by tasing the opponent.

Fatalities
Have a Blast: Stryker lodges an unpinned grenade into the opponent's stomach and turns away. The grenade will then explode in their stomach, leaving their fiery lower body on the floor.
Time Served: Stryker tasers his opponent, then he graphically shoots their head off with his gun.

Babality: Stryker pulls out his pistol and fires at the floor, knocking him back and then starts crying.

2011-05-24T12:00:00.003+08:00

As a girl, SONYA BLADE idolized her father, a U.S. Marine. When he embarked on a covert operation and never returned, she vowed to honor his memory. She joined the Marines and pushed herself hard, quickly rising in rank. SONYA'S impulsiveness didn't win her many friends, but her skills and loyalty gained the respect and admiration of all who fought beside her. Though she has never given up her quest to uncover the truth behind her father's disappearance, she realizes that she might never see him again. Now SONYA finds herself caught up in the mysterious Mortal Kombat tournament. Like her father, she too could become a casualty of war.

* The enhanced version is called Krazy Legs. After the opponent is slammed onto the ground, he/she bounces over Sonya, who grabs him/her and slams him/her back down.

Air Leg Throw: Using her legs Sonya tosses the opponent to the ground from the air.

Inverted Bicycle Kick: Like Liu Kang, Sonya rises into the air with a series of kicks to the opponent.

The inverted bicycle kick slightly returns in MK 2011, but Sonya can only perform it during her X-Ray move.

Kartwheel: Sonya performs a cartwheel at her opponent, kicking them on impact.
* The enhanced version is called Kartwheel Bash and increases damage.

Kiss: Sonya blows a kiss that stuns the opponent by irritating their eyes.
* The enhanced version is called Deadly Kiss and hits the opponent at a further distance. This can be charged as well, but doesn't change the distance.

Air Drop: Sonya can do a kick straight down after jumping in the air.
* The enhanced version is called Air Strikes and will do multiple kicks on the way down.

X-Ray Move - SF Beat Down: Sonya initiates her X-ray Move with a series of punches and kicks (four to be exact), which if any one of them lands, she then performs a leg grab on the opponent's neck, snaps it, then she uses the inverted bicycle kick and slams him/her on the ground head first, breaking their skull and neck.

Fatalities
Scissor Split: Sonya performs her leg grab trademark move and grabs her opponent with her legs, holding them high momentarily before ripping the body apart by splitting her legs.

Kut-Throat: Sonya gets a garrote wire, puts it at her opponent's throat and flips over their head. She then slowly slices through their neck before their head comes off.

Babality: Sonya does her Inverted Bicycle Kick and lands on her side. She spins around throwing a tantrum.

MK 2011 info: Smoke

2011-05-23T12:00:00.002+08:00

Originating from Prague, Tomas Vrbada was recruited by the Lin Kuei for his impressive ability to escape capture. Able to transform into a wisp of smoke, his talent has proved useful on countless missions. SMOKE has no memory of his childhood. His only family is the Lin Kuei, more specifically the younger Sub-Zero, who is like a brother to him. It has been SMOKE'S hope that through the Lin Kuei he will discover his past--and the origin of his power.

Signature Moves
Spear: In MKII, Smoke would send out a rope tipped with a Kunai at the end to impale the victim and pull them through the air towards him for a free hit and would cause minor damage, identical to Scorpion. In his cyborg form, Smoke would catapult a trident-like spear from his chest rather than his arm. Smoke uses the spear in his secret fight in MK 2011.

Air Throw: While in the air, Smoke could grab the opponent and throw them back on the ground.

Invisibility: Smoke disappears while a puff of smoke helps him become invisible.
* The enhanced version is called Vanish and it turns him completely invisible, like Reptile.

Smoke Away/Smoke Towards: Smoke turns into a cloud of smoke and dashes forwards or backwards.
* The enhanced versions are Phase Away and Phase Towards and allows you to dash at a longer distance.

Teleport Punch: Smoke disappears, then reappears punching the opponent in the back and in front of them. This is done similarly to Kobra´s Tele-Punch.
* The enhanced version is called Smokeport. In addition to the two hits, Smoke will jump down from above and attack the opponent.

Shake: Smoke stands in place and surrounds himself with smoke, if a projectile touches him, Smoke will counter attack. This can be charged.

X-Ray Move - Burn Out: Smoke teleport-punches his opponent, then runs behind them and delivers a German Suplex which slams the opponent's head onto the ground, breaking their skull and neck. Then while they are trying to get up, Smoke kicks them in the face, breaking the skull even more.

Fatalities

Tremor: Smoke does his "Smoke Towards" move, and goes through the opponent. When he reappears, the opponent begins to internally combust, then falls to pieces from the endothermic heat starting with the top of the skull separating from the mandible and the rest of the body from key joints of the body.

Babality: Smoke turns side ways and farts a huge cloud, then falls on his bottom and cries.

MK 2011 info: Sindel

2011-05-22T13:00:00.003+08:00

The mother of Kitana, QUEEN SINDEL was forced into marriage with Shao Kahn when he conquered her realm of Edenia. In an attempt to thwart the emperor's designs on Earthrealm, she sacrificed herself. Her suicide created a magical ward preventing him from setting foot there. But now the barrier has been dissolved. SINDEL has been resurrected, her mind enslaved by Shao Kahn. Earthrealm's former ally has become a deadly threat.

Signature Moves
Banshee Scream: One of her most familiar signature moves. She screams at super high volume, and it stuns the opponent, giving her a free hit.
* The enhanced version is named Super Scream. The range has been increased and the duration of the stun is extended, as well as causing a high-pitched ringing noise.

Levitate: Sindel uses her flying abilities to float in mid-air.

Star Screamer: Sindel fires a purple fireball at the opponent. She can do this while floating in the air as well. In MK 2011, she can also fire a lower version of this projectile from a crouching position. It is also named Fireball in MK 2011.
* The enhanced version is named Power Fireball, and the enhanced lower version is named Low Fire. The fireball produced is larger is size and knocks the opponent down.

Hair Whip: Used as her grab move in previous incarnations, Sindel wraps her opponent in her hair and sends them flying to the other side of the arena.
* The enhanced version is called Hair Toss. Sindel will slam the opponent multiple times before releasing them.

Step Up: Sindel performs a gymnastic front walkover, kicking the opponent. If the move connects, she follows it up with a backward aerial cartwheel which kicks the opponent upward.

Mouthful: Sindel shoots a starscreamer into her hand and shoves it into her opponent´s mouth. She holds their mouth closed until their head explodes.

Babality: Sindel begins to float into the air, but quickly falls down in a fit of tears and Banshee Screams.

MK 2011 info: Shao Kahn (boss)

2011-05-22T12:00:00.006+08:00

EMPEROR SHAO KAHN'S lust for power is matched only by his ruthlessness. Millennia ago he overthrew Onaga as ruler of Outworld and has conquered many other realms since. Eventually he turned his attention to Earthrealm. The Mortal Kombat tournament prevents him from taking the realm by force, but if SHAO KAHN'S champions win 10 consecutive tournaments, Earthrealm will be his. As long as his champion Shang Tsung and Prince Goro do not fail him, he will be victorious.

Signature Moves
Light Spear: Shao Kahn would crouch down to his knees and throw a large light spear at his opponent.

Charging Spikes: Shao Kahn would shoulder ram his opponent with a shadow trail following behind him, much like Johnny Cage's Shadow moves.

Uplifting Knee: Shao Kahn would perform a rising knee attack with a streak following behind him, much like Johnny Cage's Shadow moves.

Wrath Hammer Attack: Shao Kahn would summon his Wrath Hammer, seemingly from thin air, and smash his opponent over the head with it, setting them up for a free hit. In Deception and on, the Wrath Hammer became a weapon style and thus was no longer needed as an individual special move.

Ridicule: Shao Kahn would often taunt, mock, and of course ridicule his opponents with insults, mockery, or just plain laughter. A trademark of Shao Kahn's and what makes him one of the more memorable bosses in fighting game history. In Deception, performing a Ridicule could heal Shao Kahn, though only a tiny sliver of health would be recovered and could only be performed three times a match before it was automatically disabled. Same goes for Armageddon, though it can be performed eternal times in a battle, heals him once for a rate above 10%, and followly decreases the more it's been used.

Hammer Throw: Shao Kahn throws his hammer to an opponent, stunning and setting them up for a free hit. This move is only blockable with Nightwolf's Absorb.

Hammer Cut: Kahn sweeps the foe with his hammer.

Upward Shoulder: Shao Kahn charges upwards, juggling the opponent.

Fatalities
Home Run: Shao Kahn uppercuts his opponent into the air, and smashes them to pieces with his hammer as they fall. In MK 2011, he grabs the opponent by the neck and flips them in the air before delivering the killing blow.

Double Down: Shao Kahn jabs his hands into the middle of his foe's torso and slowly rips their body down the middle.

Babality: Shao Kahn is turned into a baby and still standing on his feet, points at the opponent and says "You suck!" (in a high pitched voice). He then starts to laugh (in baby giggles) in his laughing taunt pose.

MK 2011 info: Sheeva

2011-05-21T12:00:00.002+08:00

SHEEVA is a member of the four-armed Shokan race. Her markings reveal that she is of the royal Draco lineage. Like all Shokan, she pledged her life to Shao Kahn, bringing honor to her race by serving him. During an attack by Edenian rebels on Shao Kahn's fortress, SHEEVA fiercely protected Queen Sindel and prevented her capture. She was subsequently appointed Sindel's personal bodyguard until the queen's mysterious death in Earthrealm. SHEEVA is now the master jailer of Shao Kahn's oppressive dungeon.

Signature Moves

Death From Above: Sheeva disappears over the top of the screen and reappears over the opponent's head, then stomps on them a few times. This is called Jump Stomp in MK 2011.
* The enhanced version is called Jump Crush. It is slightly more damaging.

Anti-Air Grab: Sheeva grabs an opponent from mid-air, slams them on the ground, and stomps on their back.
* The enhanced version is called Power Anti-Air. It is slightly more damaging.

Low Grab: Sheeva grabs a ducked opponent and slams them behind her, as well as allowing for a juggle.
* The enhanced version is called Anti-Duck Throw. It is slightly more damaging.

X-Ray Move - Slam Dance: Sheeva stomps the ground causing the opponent to go in the air and land in front of her, as they lay on the ground, she stomps on their head, breaking it. Then stomps on their back, breaking their spine. She then throws the opponent away.

Fatalities
Stripped Down: Grabbing a handful of flesh in each of her four fists, Sheeva pulls her opponent's skin to the floor, leaving a bloody, skeletal husk. In MK 2011, she pulls the skin away in two pieces, in an upward motion. She then kicks the opponent's skinless body away, then lifts the flesh.

Lend A Hand: Sheeva rips her opponent's arms off with her lower arms, then hits them in the face with their severed arms, kicks them, and proceeds to clap with the severed arms.

Babality: Sheeva turns into a baby and has a giant fit, stomping on the ground repeatedly.

MK 2011 info: Shang Tsung

2011-05-20T12:00:00.001+08:00

A treacherous sorcerer who consumes the souls of his victims, SHANG TSUNG has played host to the last nine Mortal Kombat tournaments in Earthrealm, stacking the odds in favor of his master. Originally from Earthrealm, SHANG TSUNG'S magical abilities led him to discover the realm of Outworld. There he fell in league with its ruler, Shao Kahn, and pledged his life to him in return for enhanced power. He is now bound to the emperor by powerful dark magic. For centuries he has submissively done Shao Kahn's bidding. Should SHANG TSUNG fail in his mission to secure Earthrealm, he will suffer the emperor's wrath.

Signature Moves
Morphing: Shang Tsung assumes the shape of anyone in the game. In the second and third games, he couldn't morph into the bosses. (Although in Mortal Kombat II, as a fatality, he could briefly morph into Kintaro to punch the opponent in half.) In Deadly Alliance, he can morph into anyone on the Game Boy Advance ports only. In MK 2011, he uses the Soul Steal to morph into his opponent.

Flaming Skulls: Shang Tsung sends a fiery skull at his opponent. In the first game, he could throw up to six. In the other games it is one, two, or three only. In MK 2011 this is called Fire Skull.
* The enhanced version of this is called Triple Skulls and fires three skulls, one after another.

Flaming Skull Eruption: Shang Tsung summons his fiery skulls to burst out of the ground in a series of three. In MK 2011 this is called Ground Skull and can be done from three distances: Close, Medium, and Far.
* The enhanced version is called Ground Eruption in which a Far range skull appears first, followed by a Medium range skull, and a Close range skull.

Soul Steal: Shang Tsung steals a small portion of his opponent's life force. He also does this in Shaolin Monks in a manner similar to his Mortal Kombat II fatality. The special move version allows him to regain health should he take damage. In MK 2011, he morphs into his opponent after using this move and gets a damage boost by 1%.
* The enhanced version is called Soul Capture. Shang Tsung stays as the opponent for a longer time.

Up Skull: Shang Tsung throws a skull upwards hitting the opponent from mid-air. This can be done from three distances: Above, Behind, and In Front. This move is similar to Sektor's Up Missile.
* The enhanced version is called Skull Storm and fires three skulls, one for each of the three distances and they all come down at the same time.

X-Ray Move - Your Soul Is Mine: Shang Tsung steals the soul out of his opponent, showing only the muscles due to the soul taken from the skin (and the ribs broken due to his hands inside the opponent's chest), then knees his/her skull causing it to break.

Fatalities
Bang Bang!: Shang Tsung morphs into a evil looking clown, takes out a gun and fires, but it is fake and instead a flag with the word 'Bang!' comes out of the gun. He drops it and starts to laugh. Then he pulls out a real gun and shoots the opponent in the head, blowing the head to pieces. This is the fatality of The Joker from the MK vs DC Universe game series.

Identity Theft: Shang Tsung enters his opponent's body through magic and makes the opponent rip off their own head; similar to Liu Kang's Deception Fatality.

MK 2011 info: Sektor

2011-05-19T12:00:00.003+08:00

The son of the Grand Master, it was never in question that SEKTOR would join the Lin Kuei. What pleases the Grand Master is the degree to which his son relishes the life of an assassin. The secretive clan allows SEKTOR to express his darker nature, using any means necessary to complete his tasks. Hired by Shang Tsung, his current assignment is to attend the Mortal Kombat tournament and eliminate the Earthrealm competitors before they have a chance to compete. Though this mission will put his clan in good standing with Shao Kahn, SEKTOR'S ultimate goal is to supplant his father as Grand Master of the Lin Kuei.

Signature Moves
Chest Missile: Sektor fires a missile directly at his opponent from his chest. In MK 2011 this is called Straight Missile. In his human form, he fires it from his hands.

* Double Missile: Sektor fires two missiles straight at his opponent. This becomes the enhanced version of Straight Missile in MK 2011.

Upward Missile: Sektor fires a missile upwards, which falls back down, hitting the opponent from above. In MK 2011 Sektor can now fire a missile in front or behind the enemy, and it is called Up Missile.

* Homing Missile: Sektor fires a missile that follows the opponent before exploding. In MK 2011 this move is the enhanced version of Up Missile.

Fatalities
Robo-Sek: Sektor deploys four missiles from his frame but remain at his side as he locks on to the victim, releasing a shattering pulse blast from his chest cavity that tears the opponent's body's head, torso and arms apart. As they fly into the air, the missiles find their mark and strike the disembodied body parts, vaporizing them as the legs finally collapse. In his alternate human form, the missiles are obtained from a device he throws and the pulse blast is launched from the armband.

The Scarecrow: Sektor launches a device in his dazed opponent's chest. He then enters a code to his arm and the device separates tearing apart the arms, legs, torso, and head. In his human form he throws the device from his hand instead of firing it from his chest.

Babality: Sektor starts playing with his rocket which then activates, sending Sektor flying. He then falls to the ground and starts crying.

Mk 2011 info: Scorpion

2011-05-18T12:00:00.004+08:00

HANZO HASASHI was once a member of the Japanese Shirai Ryu ninja clan. Given the name SCORPION for his blindingly fast and deadly fighting skill, his life was blessed with glorious kombat in the name of his Grand Master. But when he, his family and his clan were brutally exterminated by Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei, Scorpion's existence became eternal torment. Resurrected by the malevolent necromancer Quan Chi, he entered the Mortal Kombat tournament to slay Sub-Zero and avenge the murders of his kin.

Signature Moves

Bloody Spear: Sending out a rope with a tipped Kunai at the end, it impales itself into the victim's chest, allowing Scorpion to pull him or her through the air towards him for a free hit, as well as cause a small bit of damage. This move often follows the words, "GET OVER HERE!" or "COME HERE!" (In Shaolin Monks, he —albeit rarely— says profane versions of both phrases). This is Scorpion's famous signature move. In Shaolin Monks, the move could be upgraded so as to be used a whip-like weapon. It was originally believed that Scorpion's spear was actually a snake-like creature spawned from the palm of his hand when really it was a simple kunai, and it was thrown from his belt as seen in newer games such as Deadly Alliance and Deception (or in the case of MKvsDCU launched from a small device on the underside of his gauntlet) it is not the snake-like picture as depicted elsewhere. In MK 2011 it comes in the form of a chain.
* The enhanced version is called Flame Spear. Scorpion launches two spears at the same time, both covered in hellfire.

Hellfire Punch: Teleporting behind his opponent he connects with a punch called the Teleport Attack in Deception and Unchained; Scorpion gained this attack as a kick instead of a punch, however he regained this attack as a punch in Armageddon, whilst the kick form of this attack is given to Chameleon. In Shaolin Monks, the move could be upgraded so as to leave behind a burst of fire when he vanishes. He can also perform it in the air. Also he has a variation without teleport, going forward to the opponent instead of attacking them in their back.
* The enhanced version is called Flameport. Scorpion adds a flaming uppercut after he hits the opponent.

Leg Takedown: Scorpion trips his opponent with a leg scissor takedown.
* The enhanced version is called Takeout. It does more damage and grabs the opponent's legs faster.

Air Throw: Scorpion throws his opponent to the ground while in the air.

Hellfire: Scorpion summons the fires of Hell to burn his opponent from underneath.
* The enhanced version is called Demon Fire and covers a wider area.

Flaming Backflip Kick: Scorpion performs a backflip kick followed by a trail of fire. In MK 2011 this move came back as part of one of his combos.

Inner Flames: Scorpion creates flames of hellfire all around his body that damages anyone who comes intro direct contact with him, even during a special move.

X-Ray Move - Scorpion Sting: Scorpion teleports underneath some flames and re-appears behind his opponent, punching them in the groin before throwing a brutal punch to the opponent and breaking their skull, causing them to fall over. He then walks over and stomps on their chest damaging their ribs and heart.

Fatalities

Toasty!: Scorpion's signature fatality. Scorpion takes off his mask, revealing a skull face, and breathes fire at his opponent, burning them alive and causing them to explode (usually resulting in Dan Forden saying "Toasty!"; in Mortal Kombat 4 Forden will say "Toasty! 3D!" owing to it being transferred to a new graphic dimension). In MK 2011, the opponent screams in horror as their skin burns off.
* In MK 2011, this fatality is unlocked via a preorder code. Scorpion can use this in any costume.

Split Decision: Scorpion unsheathes his sword and slices his opponent's torso. He then cuts his opponent's throat and delivers a powerful kick which sends their torso and head off their body. As the head comes falling down, he slices it vertically in half. This is similar to his Spear Slice fatality in MKII.

Nether Gates: Scorpion takes out his spear and stabs his opponent in the chest, then wraps it around the opponent's neck. He then opens up a portal leading to the Netherrealm behind them. He kicks them in it. Afterwards, a portal opens up above him. His opponent falls out of it, their skin melted off and hanging by Scorpion's spear.

Babality: Scorpion shouts (in a high pitched voice) "GET OVER HERE!" and uses the spear, which causes him to fly with it before landing. He then cries and throws a tantrum.

MK 2011 info: Reptile

2011-05-17T12:00:00.003+08:00

His home realm of Zaterra is gone, mysteriously destroyed ages ago. REPTILE is the last known surviving member of his race. He has since made Outworld his home. Shao Kahn has made use of REPTILE'S mastery of stealth to spy on suspected traitors and slay known enemies of the empire. But the knowledge that he is the last of his kind gnaws at REPTILE. He would give anything, destroy anyone, if it would bring his realm back from the abyss. Self-pity fuels his aggression as he inflicts suffering and death on others.

Signature moves

Acid Spit: Reptile removes his mask and spits acid at the opponent. Sometimes the jet of acid spit would hinder the opponent for a very short time as the steam from the acid burns away at the opponent's skin. In MKII and UMK3, it appears as a thick jet spit of acid. In MK4, it appears as a stream of acid bubbles and in MK:DA onwards, a ball of acid.
* The enhanced version is called Acid Stream. Reptile spews a stream of acid.

Power Slide: Reptile slides across the floor to the enemy, hitting them and sending them flying into the air. In Shaolin Monks and MK 2011, Reptile secretes a trail of slime when he slides, similar to the ice trail that Sub-Zero leaves when he slides.
* The enhanced version is called Slime Trail. Reptile will hit the airborne opponent with two kicks.

Chameleon: Reptile disappears or reappears in a puff of smoke. In UMK3, Reptile could not reappear unless he was hit. In Armageddon, Reptile can still turn invisible, though his weapon will remain visible. In MK 2011 this is called Invisibility.

Fatalities

Tasty Meal: Reptile takes off his mask, revealing a reptilian face. He then opens his mouth and stretches out his long tongue, sticking it to his victim's head, then quickly retracts it, ripping off the head and eating it. Reptile then rubs his blood covered stomach, giving a satisfied "Mmmm..." noise.
* In MK 2011, this Fatality is unlocked via a DLC code. Reptile can use this in any costume. It is also called Yummy! in MK 2011.

Acid Yak: Reptile forces his opponent's mouth open, then vomits acid directly into it. Appearing as a boss fatality in Shaolin Monks, Reptile simply leaves his opponent to dissolve into a skeleton. In MK 2011, he plunges his hand into his opponent's body and rips out their mutilated stomach instead, leaving a gaping, bloody hole in their abdomen. If input this fatality in his Klassic Costume, he will take of his mask and snarls at the screen before proceed on doing the fatality.

Weight Loss: Reptile turns invisible and slits the opponent's throat and stomach, causing blood to spew out. He then plants an acid force ball deep into the gap of the opponent's stomach, causing their upper body to explode in a few seconds. He then hisses in delight.

Babality: Reptile turns into an egg and hatches, and starts vomiting acid.

MK 2011 info: Raiden

2011-05-16T12:00:00.001+08:00

RAIDEN is the God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm. Ageless and wise beyond measure, he leads Earthrealm's mortals in the endless battle against the forces of darkness. When Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld, threatened to merge his realm with Earthrealm, an overwhelmed Raiden implored the Elder Gods to give Earthrealm a fighting chance. Thus the Mortal Kombat tournament was created. For millennia Shao Kahn has been kept at bay, but nine consecutive losses to Goro have eroded hope that Earthrealm can be saved. Determined to prevent Armageddon, RAIDEN tirelessly quests to find a champion worthy of Mortal Kombat.

Signature Moves

2011-05-15T13:00:00.000+08:00

The Netherrealm has produced many vile beings, but none rival the Arch-Sorcerer QUAN CHI. In lieu of Netherrealm demons, he prefers to resurrect deceased warriors for use in his sinister plans. Foremost among them is the tortured Shirai Ryu ninja Scorpion, who is QUAN CHI'S personal assassin. QUAN CHI is building an army of such specters--the purpose of which has yet to be revealed. Another mystery is the sorcerer's involvement in the Mortal Kombat tournament. The Netherrealm has no stake in its outcome, which leads some observers to question his presence...

As is customary when recruiting Shokan and Centaur into Shao Kahn's service, one of each race must face each other in bloody kombat.

NOOB has been assigned to aid Shao Kahn in his acquisition of Earthrealm.

NIGHTWOLF is one of few Earthrealm mortals with a strong connection to the spirit world. A powerful Native American shaman, he is guided by the empyrean forces and communes with divine beings such as Haokah, known to the East as Raiden. NIGHTWOLF'S devotion allows the Spirits to work through him, granting him unnatural long life and ethereal weapons to kombat the darkness that threatens mortal-kind.

2011-05-12T12:00:00.002+08:00

Shang Tsung has created many abominable creatures in his Flesh Pits, but none so twisted as MILEENA. A fusion of Edenian flesh and Tarkatan blood, MILEENA is both beauty and beast. This dichotomy has made her mind unstable; she is prone to fits of madness and savagery. Though she has the appearance of a mature woman, she is more child than adult--a blank slate conformed to Shao Kahn's will. Devoid of conscience or remorse, MILEENA will butcher anyone to appease her beloved father.

2011-05-11T12:00:00.002+08:00

Orphaned at a very young age, LIU KANG was raised by Shaolin monks, who taught him the way of the spiritual warrior. They soon recognized his potential as a contender for the Mortal Kombat tournament and rigorously trained him for this task. Raiden, too, understood that LIU KANG was Earthrealm's best hope for freedom and introduced him to Master Bo' Rai Cho to further his development. Once fully trained, LIU KANG bested all challengers and earned the high honor of representing the Shaolin in the Mortal Kombat tournament.

KUNG LAO'S ancestor was defeated by Goro 500 years ago in the pivotal match that saw Shang Tsung attain control of the Mortal Kombat tournament. To him this contest is about more than Earthrealm's freedom. His life's goal has been to slay Goro and win the tournament, thus restoring his family's honor. After being defeated by Liu Kang in a qualifying bout, he disguised himself as one of Shang Tsung's guards to gain admittance. KUNG LAO believes he is ready for the challenge.

MK 2011 info: Kitana

2011-05-09T12:00:00.003+08:00

Over 10,000 years old, PRINCESS KITANA remembers little of her early years. Her mother, Queen Sindel, died mysteriously ages ago in Earthrealm. Most of her life she has loyally served her father, Shao Kahn, in his unending quest to conquer the realms. With her closest friend, Jade, KITANA enforces his brutal will. But there is a feeling tugging at her... a feeling that the life she has known is a deception. For the moment, KITANA dutifully works to ensure Outworld's victory in this latest Mortal Kombat tournament. If she were to lower her guard, however, she might discover that her Earthrealm opponents can lead her to answers.

Signature Moves

Fan Throw: Kitana throws one of her fans to her opponent. Because the move could be executed both on the ground and in mid-air, it was a great way to finish off a combo, making her a deadly character in Mortal Kombat II.
* The enhanced version is called Charged Fan. Kitana throws one fan, and then on delay throws the second fan. You can further delay the second fan by charging. This will also increase the damage of the second fan by 1 to 2%.

Square Wave Punch: Kitana jumps into the air and attacks incoming foes with a flying punch. This attack is borrowed from Sonya during her absence in Mortal Kombat II, however, in later games that they have both appeared, both of them kept this attack (with the exception of Deadly Alliance, in which neither of them had this attack).
* The enhanced version is called Square Boost. This increases the damage.

Fan Lift: Kitana uses her fans to make the enemy levitate helplessly in the air. This attack is served as both an anti-air attack and a set-up for juggle combos, and the effectiveness of the move has decreased significantly in each game since Mortal Kombat II. In Deadly Alliance, Unchained and Armageddon, performing this move while in an unarmed fighting style will automatically switch the player into Steel Fan style. In MK 2011 this is called Upraise.
* The enhanced version is called Uplift, which uses a windstorm to keep the opponent in the air.

Pretty Kick: Kitana flies toward her opponent with multiple kicks.
* The enhanced version is called Pretty Legs in which Kitana hits an additional kick.

Cutting Fan: Kitana spins both her fans around her, dealing damage if the opponent touches her.
* The enhanced version is called Fan Dice. Kitana hits the opponent with two additional swings of her fans.

Fake Out Kick: Kitana spins one way then reverses to kick the opponent in the shin.

X-Ray Move - Fan-Tastic: Kitana starts by throwing her fans. If they hit the opponent, she teleports behind them and lodges the fans into their skull dealing damage to it and the neck. She teleports again in front of her opponent and grabs the fans. Then she lodges them in her opponents eyes damaging them and the skull.

Fatalities

Fan Opener: Kitana uses her fans to chop off the opponent's arms before slicing their head off at the jaw line as they drop to the ground.

Splitting Headache: Kitana drives one of her fans into her opponent's body and opens it up, slicing through the front. She then does the same to the head, whereby the opponent collapses.

Babality: Kitana turns into a baby and takes out her bladed fans. She flaps them causing her to fly and then lets go of them, falling on the ground with the fans falling right next to her, then starts crying.

MK 2011 info: Kano

2011-05-08T13:00:00.004+08:00

Undisciplined and dangerous, KANO is a thug for hire. From weapons dealing to cold-blooded murder, his military training has made him the go-to man for the Black Dragon. But when an operation went to hell and his face horribly mutilated, Kano's crime spree was almost ended. Ever the survivor, he used his underworld connections to find a cyberneticist capable of repairing the damage. Kano was fitted with several high-tech enhancements, most notably his eye laser. With these new weapons, Kano's reign of terror has only just begun.

Signature Moves

Cannonball: Kano curls into a ball and flies at his opponent.
* The enhanced version is called Kano Ball. Kano will spin in the air momentarily before launching at the opponent, hitting them several times. It's unblockable if held for the full charge.

* The enhanced version is Downward Ball and allows Kano to do an anti air grab before the opponent hits the ground.

Chokehold: Kano would grab his opponent and lift them in the air by the throat and proceed to stab them them in the chest. In MK 2011, this move changes to a ground based choke and is simply called Choke.
* The enhanced version is called Kano Choke. Kano grounds the opponent and smashes their head on the ground and then rolls over them to the other side.

X-Ray Move - Just The Tip: Kano plunges a knife into his opponent's right thigh, going through and snapping the femur. Before the opponent can react Kano proceeds to stab them in the left thigh, resulting in another broken femur. Then he delivers a devastating kick to the front of the skull, causing heavy fracture damage.

Fatalities

Heartbreak: A variation of his signature fatality, Kano turns the opponent around and punches the heart out through his victim´s back, then crushes it in his hands, hoisting the heart in the air while blood still pumps out.

Eat Your Heart Out: Another variation of his signature fatality, Kano rips the heart out of his opponent's chest, then proceeds to rip off their head. He jams the opponent's head into the hole in their chest and kicks them away. This is similar to Kobra's Fatality.

Babality: Kano turns into a baby and gives the camera the sign of death (cutthroat), then falls on the right side due to the weight of his metal eye.

MK 2011 info: Goro (boss)

2011-05-08T12:00:00.002+08:00

PRINCE GORO has brought much honor to the Shokan race by serving Shao Kahn. His bloody achievements include crushed rebellions and conquered provinces. During the past 500 years he has been celebrated for winning the last nine Mortal Kombat tournaments for Outworld. Should he defeat Earthrealm's champion this time, he will become more than legendary. His victory is assured. There are none in Earthrealm who can withstand the might of GORO.

Signature Moves

Fireball: Goro shoots a green fireball from his arm. This attack is stronger than most projectiles, just like his physical attacks. It also appeared in Mortal Kombat 4, but this time it was shot out of his mouth, similar to Kintaro. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the fireball is larger, redder, and does standard projectile damage. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Goro can shoot one from each hand, four in a row. In MK 2011 Goro returns to shooting one fireball from his arm.

Leaping Stomp: Goro jumps off the screen and lands on the opponent much like Kintaro and Sheeva. However, in the original Mortal Kombat and in Mortal Kombat (2011), he does not jump all the way off the screen; he only jumps the height of a normal jump.

Goro Grab: Goro grabs the opponent in his bottom hands, then palms the opponents face in an upper hand, smashes them on the ground, and then flings them across the arena.

Spinning Fists: Goro holds out his arms and spins around, smacking his opponent multiple times with his outstretched flaming fists.

Taunt: In MK 2011, Goro will flex his upper arms and taunt the opponent. This can be used as an opening to strike Goro, as it does nothing else. It was also used as a move in MK and MK Trilogy.

2011-05-07T12:00:00.003+08:00

Once a member of the Black Dragon clan, KABAL gave up his life of crime and put his fighting skills to more positive uses. He joined the New York City police force to kombat the underworld element he once served. This transition helped ease the pain of dark memories. But when New York was invaded he underwent another transformation -- one that would afflict him physically. Severely injured and viciously burnt in battle, Kabal is doomed to wear a life support system forever.

Signature Moves

* The enhanced version is called Nomad Charge. This increases the speed of Kabal's start up.

* The enhanced version is called Vapor Blast. This makes the projectile larger in size and increases damage.

Buzzsaw: Kabal summons sawblades from the ground, cutting the opponent.
* The enhanced version is called Saw Blades and sends two blades instead of one.

Tornado Slam: Kabal takes both hookswords and slashes in front of him, if the opponent is in range, they will be hooked. He then spins the hookswords, spins the opponent around, and slams them on the ground. This move was once his grab move. (MK 2011)
* The enhanced version is called Cyclone Slam. Kabal will spin the opponent around twice before slamming them.

X-Ray Move - Kabal's Deep: Kabal first uses his Raging Flash to daze his opponent before sliding in to break both of their shins.

Fatalities

Hook Up: Kabal kicks his foe into the air and slices them in half with his hooksword. In MK 2011, the Fatality has him slicing the opponent vertically, with their head impaled on the hooksword upon impact.

It Takes Guts: Kabal stabs his hookswords into his opponent's intestines and rips them out. Then as they fall to the ground, he puts his swords on the ground with the blade above and the opponent falls into the swords, stabbing both shoulder blades.

Babality: Kabal attempts to do a Raging Flash, but fails and he ends up falling face first into the ground. He starts crying and a puddle of tears forms around him.

MK 2011 info: Johnny Cage

2011-05-06T12:00:00.003+08:00

There is no greater martial arts movie star than JOHNNY CAGE. Films such as "Dragon Fist", "Time Smashers" and "Citizen Cage" have made him one of the most highly paid actors in Hollywood. But there is more to JOHNNY than even he knows. He is a descendant of an ancient Mediterranean cult who bred warriors for the gods -- warriors who possessed power beyond that of mortals. This legacy has made JOHNNY CAGE a star. More important, it will aid him in the battle to come.

Signature Moves

Green Shadow Kick: Improving on the speed of his Shadow Kick, Cage would move faster, and leave a green trail.

Red Shadow Kick: The fastest version of the Green Shadow Kick, which leaves a red trail. This is the enhanced version of the Shadow Kick in MK 2011 and is called Eclipse Kick, and has increased range and damage, together with Johnny saying Cage! after the move is done.

Plasmic Fireball: This fireball curved upwards, and would remain Cage's standard projectile. In Deadly Alliance the screen shakes if the projectile hit the opponent, while in Armageddon the screen will not shake. In MK 2011 this is called a Forceball and can have a high arc or low arc.
The enhanced versions are Double Low Ball and Double High Ball. On either one of these, Johnny fires a second ball in a straight direction at his opponent.

High Green Orb: A higher version of the curved fireball.

Nut Breaker: One of Cage's most memorable moves where he does the splits and punches the opponent in the groin. Initially this only worked on male fighters. Available in both Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and Mortal Kombat 2011, it can be performed on both male fighters and female fighters.
* The enhanced version is called Nutcracker and turns Cage's fist green with energy.

Green Shadow Uppercut: Cage would leap into the air and deliver an uppercut with his elbow which launched his foe into the air, leaving a green trail. In MK 2011 Cage uses this move as his Breaker attack.

Flipkick: Cage does a somersault kick that launches his foe into the air, leaving a green trail.

X-Ray Move - Ball Buster: Cage taunts his opponent. If, during this time, they attack him, he parries them and performs a triple Split Punch in the opponent's groin area. As they double up, he jumps and then slams his elbow on their back, dealing damage to their spine.

Fatalities

Heads Up: Cage uppercuts his opponent's head off, then he finishes by ripping off their torso and throwing it to the ground as the head bounces up then he catches the head. This is a combination of his Torso Rip and Deadly Uppercut Fatalities from MKII.

And The Winner Is...: Johnny Cage karate chops the opponent's head in half and takes out a trophy. He then says, "And the award goes to..." and plants the trophy in between the two chopped halves of the opponent's head. Then while the announcer says "Johnny Cage Wins." Johnny pushes the opponent, making them fall to the ground. For unknown reasons, Johnny does not plant the trophy in Kratos' head, as Kratos simply falls backwards when he gets his head split.

Babality: Johnny Cage takes a pencil and paper and draws on it. The wind then blows the paper, making it land on the screen with the paper having a picture of himself and a few words saying, "To My Best Fan! Johnny Cage." which is most likely an homage to his Friendship in earlier games.

MK vs DCU info #23: Dark Kahn

2010-04-30T23:00:00.002+08:00

Dark Kahn is a monstrous being of pure Rage created from the accidental merging of Darkseid and Shao Kahn. He debuted as the final boss of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and is the game's sole original character. For the entirety of the storyline, Dark Kahn hides within the merging of Apokalips and Outworld, influencing the DC superheroes, villains and kombatants to fight amongst one another to further fuel the chaos. Dark Kahn does not appear until the final chapter of both sides where he has lured all participants to fight amongst one another until Shang Tsung, Raiden, Superman and Batman are left standing from the midst. The god of thunder and the Man of Steel chase to his tower, which has become a merger of Shao Kahn's Palace and Darkseid's Palace where he tricks them into fighting each other. Eventually, the two are able to break free from his influence and channel his own rage against, causing his destruction, causing Shao Kahn and Darkseid to exist separately (although in each others universe, with a temporary loss of powers). The kombatants deal with Darkseid and send him to the Netherrealm while Shao Kahn becomes trapped in a fragmented Phantom Zone.

Power and abilities

Being a fusion of two powerful beings from two separate universes, Dark Kahn is already exceedingly powerful, enough that his own existence threatens the galaxy. Though he possesses both Shao Kahn's brute strength, sorcery and Darkseid's Omega Force, his primary ability is his Rage, which Captain Marvel refers to as 'kombat rage'. He is able to infect anyone with this spiritual influence which causes them to fight with an unquenchable bloodlust against both friend and foe. Though they appear to have a degree of conscious control over themselves, they will always perceive their friends to be their deadliest enemies. A telltale sign is the change in their voice and their glowing yellow eyes. Though the influence is powerful it can still be conquered with enough willpower.

Special Moves

Omega Beam: Dark Kahn unleashes his signature "Omega Beams" at his opponent.

Anti-Air Omega Beam: Dark Kahn blast an aerial opponent with his Omega Beams.

Omega Tremor: Dark Kahn slams his fist into the ground creating a shockwave. The move strikes an opponent twice, once with his fists and second with the shockwave.

Omega Knee: Dark Kahn leaps at his opponent, bashing his knee in their face.

Omega Force: Dark Kahn leaps high into the air and then comes down like a meteor, creating a shockwave and possibly landing on his opponent. If timed right, and the two correct attack buttons are pressed, Dark Kahn will headbutt the opponent if he lands on them.

Charging Spikes: Dark Kahn would shoulder ram his opponent with a streak following behind him, much like Johnny Cage's Shadow moves.

Wrath Hammer Attack: Dark Kahn would summon his Wrath Hammer, seemingly from thin air, and smash his opponent over the head with it.

Explosive Blast: Dark Kahn would fire off a meteor like fireball, seemingly from his hands.

Emperor's Shield: Dark Kahn would perform an uppercut like motion that would not only throw up a force field for a split second to deflect projectiles, but could also knock an opponent off his/her feet if physically too close.

Grab and Punch: Dark Kahn would lift his opponent up by the throat with one hand and then smash his fiery fist into their face sending them sailing back.

MK vs DCU info #22: Darkseid

2010-04-30T22:00:00.001+08:00

A ruthless despot, Darkseid rules over the perpetually burning planet known as Apokolips. Obsessed with discovering the "Anti-Life Equation", he plans to use it to complete his quest for absolute power, and rule over all life in the universe. Nearly invulnerable, his powers include the ability to project Omega Beams from his eyes-dark rays with the power to alter, transport, and incinerate everything they come into contact with.

Powers and abilities

Darkseid is among the most powerful New Gods, sometimes depicted with a variety of god-like abilities at his disposal. His main power, the Omega Effect, is a form of energy that he fires from his eyes as either concussive force or beams of disintegration, capable of transmuting or erasing most living objects and organisms from existence as well as to reform or resurrect them. Anything Darkseid disintegrates with the Omega Effect can be brought back at any time by him, and he often uses this as a form of punishment. Darkseid has pinpoint control over his Omega Beams, and his unerring aim allows them to travel in straight lines, bend, twist, or curve around corners, and can pass through matter and energy. The Omega Effect can also be used to teleport Darkseid or others through time and space. Darkseid can also project the Omega Effect as energy blasts from his hands. Another type of Omega Effect is the Omega Sanction, that traps the organism in a series of alternate realities, each worse than the previous one.

In addition, Darkseid possesses superhuman strength, stamina, and durability equivalent to the corresponding traits of Superman and Orion. He also, despite his great size, possesses great speed, agility, and reflexes as he has been able to startle Superman with his speed and it has been stated he can react in microseconds. He sometimes possesses the ability to increase his size. Darkseid possesses the powers of telepathy and telekinesis, and has also shown the ability to create psionic avatars. He is even able to open boom tubes under his own power, and can travel through time, space, and even other dimensions with ease. Darkseid is also, being a god, virtually immortal. He has lived for several hundred thousand years at the very least.

Despite his great might, Darkseid generally does not rely on physical combat, despite being a highly trained Apokoliptian warrior; he is a master schemer and strategist possessing a superhuman intellect. Darkseid has also shown some form of godly sense, capable of sensing the death of his son Orion and the fluctuations of the energy of the "Godwave". Darkseid commands all the vast military and technological resources of Apokolips.

Signature Moves

Omega Beam: Darkseid unleashes his signature "Omega Beams" at his opponent.

MK vs DCU info #21: Captain Marvel

2010-04-29T22:00:00.003+08:00

Young Billy Batson was an orphan who wandered into a deep cavern. There he encountered the ancient wizard Shazam, who granted Billy the ability to transform into the hero Captain Marvel. Whenever Billy speaks the name "SHAZAM!", a mystical lightning bolt recreates him as a hero with super-strength, flight, speed, and other powers of mythological heroes. In return he must always fight evil in its form as the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man.

Powers and abilities

Billy Batson is granted unbelievable power when he is Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel is able to switch between himself and his alter-ego. He becomes faster, stronger and tougher both physically and mentally. What should never be forgotten is his ability to fly even at fast speeds. With all these powers, Captain Marvel is a tough superhero to beat. The powers were actually from mythological heroes.

Powers
Solomon's wisdom grants: As Captain Marvel, Billy has instant access to a vast amount of scholarly knowledge, including most known languages and sciences. The wisdom of Solomon also provides him with counsel and advice in times of need. In early Captain Marvel stories, Solomon's power also gave Billy the ability to hypnotize people.

Hercules' stength grants: Gives Billy vast super strength, allowing him to lift over 100 tons; he is able to easily bend steel, punch through walls, and lift massive objects, (including whole continents like South America). His strength is shown to match even Superman.

MK vs DCU info #20: Deathstroke

2010-04-28T22:00:00.000+08:00

Slade Wilson was given enhanced abilities as part of a military experiment, and has such confidence in his skills as a mercenary and assassin that his chosen costume highlights the fact that he only has one eye. Adept at both sword and gunplay, his superhuman physical abilities are matched by his tactical genius and his facility for manipulating both allies and enemies alike.

Powers and abilities

While serving in Vietnam, mercenary Slade Wilson was injected with a special serum that was supposed to give him immunity to truth serums; instead it increased his strength, speed, endurance, agility, intellect, and senses to superhuman levels, as well as granting the powers of regeneration.

Deathstroke has the capacity to use up to 90% of his brain at any one time making him a tactical genius, adept at turning opponents' own abilities against them; this can also be attributed to his years in the military and combat with various heroes. Deathstroke also possesses a healing factor in his blood that enables him to heal from physical injury much faster than a normal person; it does have limitations as he could not heal his eye and cannot regenerate entire limbs. This enables him to recover from what would otherwise be fatal injuries, though recovering from such injuries renders him insane and animalistic for a short period.

Signature Moves

Flash Bomb: Deathstroke throws a flash grenade that blinds the opponent. It can be thrown in place or at a distance.

Lunging Stab: Deathstroke takes his sword and lunges at his opponent, stabbing them in the gut.

Stomach Stab: Deathstroke takes out his knife and stabs the opponent in the gut. He then follows up with a kick. The type of kick depends upon if an attack button is pressed and which button is pressed.

Pistol Shot: Deathstroke fires at his opponent with his gun.

Fatalities

Gunshot: Slade stabs his opponent in the gut with his sword, walks away, turns around and shoots them in the head.

Neck Breaker: Slade slices his opponent with his sword causing them to fall to their knees. He then grabs their head and snaps their neck.

MK vs DCU info #19: The Joker

2010-04-27T22:00:00.003+08:00

An insanely homicidal super-villain, the Joker's white skin, green hair, and blood-red lips belie the chaotic nature underlying his cartoonish appearance. The self-styled "Clown Prince of Crime" has no superpowers, beyond a capacity for incredible violence and a skill at creating deadly mayhem. He frequently concocts elaborate schemes to entrap his arch-nemesis, Batman.

Powers and abilities
The Joker commits crimes with comedic weapons such as a deck of razor-sharp playing cards, an acid-squirting flower, cyanide pies, exploding cigars filled with nitroglycerin, harpoon guns that utilize razor-sharp BANG!-flags, and a lethally electric joy buzzer. His most prominent weapon is his Joker venom, a deadly poison that infects his victims with a ghoulish rictus grin as they die while laughing uncontrollably. The venom comes in many forms, from gas to darts to liquid poison, and has been his primary calling card from his first appearance. The Joker is immune to his venom; in Batman #663, it is stated that "being an avid consumer of his products, Joker's immunity to poisons has been built up over years of dedicated abuse".

The Joker is portrayed as highly intelligent and skilled in the fields of chemistry and engineering, as well an expert with explosives and computers. His fighting style is random, chaotic and unpredictable. His versatility in combat is due in part to his own extensive array of hidden gadgets and weapons on his person that he often pulls out on a moment's whim (rolling a handful of explosive marbles on the ground, retractable knives attached to his spats, etc.)

The Joker has cheated death numerous times, even in seemingly inescapable and lethal situations. He has been seen caught in explosions, been shot repeatedly, dropped from lethal heights, electrocuted, and so on, but he always returns once again to wreak havoc.
Signature Moves

Joker's Wild: Joker throws a playing card lined with steel at the opponent.

Sinister Heels: Joker grabs the opponent and kicks them repeatedly with the back of his foot.

Put It There: Joker counters an opponent's attack by grabbing their hand and shocking them with his electric joybuzzer. He then laughs giddily and dances in a circle.

Bombs Away: Joker throws a bomb with a smiley face on it that bounces up and down before exploding. He can do this from far away or close up.

Magic Trick: Joker is enveloped in a cloud of green smoke. Any button which is pressed in this brief state will produce a different attack.

Surprise Stomp: Joker does a flying jump kick.

Surprise Slide: Joker does a sliding kick across the ground.

Surprise Bomb: Joker appears from the mist with a bomb in his hand.

Surprise Pistol Whip: Joker smacks the opponent with pistol.
The Funnyman: Joker dances around, boosting his rage meter.

Punching Bag: Joker fires a punching glove attached to a string that goes halfway across the field.

Fatalities

The Killing Joke: Joker pulls out a prop gun and fires it, unfurling a small flag which says BANG!. The Joker laughs hysterically and quickly pulls out a real gun and shoots his opponent in the head.

Playing Cards: Joker flicks a few razor cards at his opponent, sticking them in their body. He throws the last one into the opponent's forehead. Similar to Noob's Shuriken Slam Fatality from Deception.

MK vs DCU info #18: Lex Luthor

2010-04-26T22:00:00.000+08:00

One of the richest and smartest men in the world, Lex Luthor is motivated by bottomless ambition, an egotistical disregard for morality, and an intense hatred of Superman. Using the resources of his financial empire as head of LexCorp, Luthor has developed a high-tech suit to duplicate some of Superman's abilities. Luthor is obsessed with removing the man he sees as the main obstacle to his rise to absolute power.

Lex Luthor has the physical capabilities and limitations of a normal adult with no metahuman abilities. However, he possesses a genius level of intelligence. For virtually his entire publication history, he has been depicted as the most intelligent human in the DC Universe, and as one of the most intelligent beings of any planet or species. He has mastered seemingly every known form of science, including space travel, extra-dimensional travel, biochemistry, robotics, computers, synthetic polymers, communications, mutations, transportation, holography, energy generation, spectral analysis and more (including time travel in many Pre-Crisis stories). With the exception of the renegade Coluan scientist Brainiac, he does not view any other being as an intellectual peer.

Since the Bronze Age of Comics, Lex Luthor has utilized various battlesuits in many stories, often equipping them with kryptonite weapons capable of injuring Superman and other Kryptonians. Additionally, he often wore a kryptonite ring on his right hand in Post-Crisis stories, but abandoned this tactic after prolonged exposure to K-radiation resulted in the loss of his hand and poisoned his entire body (requiring him to transplant his brain into a cloned body in order to survive).

Signature Moves

Hot Flames: Lex fires a burst of flames from his wrist.

Target Practice: Lex fires a missile from a gauntlet which immediately locks on to the opponent.

LexCorp Rocket: Lex fires a missile directly at his opponent.

MK vs DCU info #17: Catwoman

2010-04-24T22:00:00.000+08:00

Selina Kyle operates as a costumed cat burglar in Gotham City, and has a love-hate relationship with Batman. She is able to commit nearly impossible crimes thanks to her athletic prowess, skills with a whip, and seductive wiles.

Abilities

Catwoman, like most Batman villains, used a variety of themed weapons, vehicles, and equipment. This usage also appeared in the 1960s Batman TV series. Catwoman's favored weapon is a whip. She wields both a standard bullwhip and the cat o' nine tails with expert proficiency. She uses the whip because it is a weapon that the user must be trained to use, and therefore it can not be taken from her and used against her in a confrontation. She can also be seen using a pistol against people if her whip is taken from her.

In addition, Catwoman has been shown to have various items to restrain her victims, such as a set of plastic ties for binding hands and feet, and a roll of duct tape used to gag her targets, like she did with Angle Man, Film Freak, Zatanna, and various others during her robberies over the years.

Many of Catwoman's costumes have incorporated retractable metal claws on the fingertips of her gloves and sometimes on the toes of her boots. On rare occasions, she has also sported a cat's tail.

Signature Moves

Whip Sting: Catwoman whips her opponent with her whip.

Kitty Surprise: Catwoman wraps her whip around her opponents feet, brings the opponent to her, and stomps on the opponent's face.

MK vs DCU info #16: Wonder Woman

2010-04-23T22:00:00.003+08:00

Daughter of Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons, Princess Diana sprung from the mists of Greek mythology. She left the female-only island of Themyscira to travel to "Man's World" as an emissary of peace. Gifted with super-strength and invulnerability, Diana's main tool in crime-fighting is her golden Lasso of Truth. Unbreakable, it forces all captured by it to tell the truth.

Powers and abilities
Wonder Woman is capable of superhuman feats akin to that of Superman, commonly in the form of flying and superstrength. Wonder Woman's signature weapon is the Lasso of Truth, which forces its user's targets to confess the truth of whatever is is asked against their will. Wonder Woman also possesses a pair of bracelets which can deflect many powerful attacks and clanging them together creates a destructive, concussive force that can even make the Man of Steel's ears bleed.

Signature Moves

Magical Spin: Wonder Woman spins in the air, repeatedly kicking her opponent. Similar to a helicopter spin, but she isn't upside down.

Lasso Grab: Wonder Woman throws a lasso at her opponent, then throws her opponent to one side, then brings them back, then kicks them down.

Gotcha Girl: Wonder Woman kicks her opponent into the air, lassos their feet, then throws them to the ground.

Handstand Burst: Wonder Woman does a backflip, kicking her opponent, quickly gets back on her feet, grabs her opponent and slams her opponent to the ground.

Divine Princess: Wonder Woman does a quick super speed spin which knocks her opponent away.

Lasso Spin: Wonder Woman throws her lasso at her opponent and then pulls it away. The opponent is set spinning and literally drills him/her into the floor.

MK vs DCU info #15: Green Lantern

2010-04-22T22:00:00.002+08:00

Fighter pilot Hal Jordan was testing an experimental aircraft when he found himself transported into the desert, to the side of a dying alien who gifted him with a glowing ring, which is charged regularly by a green lantern. By taking the ring, Jordan found himself drafted into the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar police force that assigned him to protect Earth. Jordan can use his ring to conjure up anything he can imagine.

Each Green Lantern wields a Power ring that can generate a variety of effects, sustained purely by the ring wearer's imagination and strength of will. The greater the user's willpower, the more effective the ring. The upper limits of the power ring's abilities are not clearly defined and it has been referred to as "the most powerful weapon in the universe" on more than one occasion. It has also been stated that every weapon has a weakness and the weakness a Green Lantern ring has is its wearer (though some argue that this is its strength). Across the years, the rings have been shown capable of accomplishing almost anything within the imagination of the ring bearer.

Stories in 2006 retconned the ring's long-established ineffectiveness on yellow objects, stating that the ring-wielder need only feel fear, understand it and overcome it in order to affect yellow objects (however, it is a learned and practiced ability, making it a weakness to some Green Lanterns), giving retroactive credence to the explanation of the ring's real but surmountable weakness to yellow.

Signature Moves

Strength of Will: Green Lantern creates a hammer with his power ring and slams it on his opponent.

Summoned Hand Grab: Green Lantern creates a hand with his power ring that grabs his opponent and slams them to the ground.

Wall Barrier: Green Lantern creates a brick wall with his power ring that can absorb projectiles and can hurt opponents that run into it.

Justice Fist: Green Lantern creates a hand with his power ring and shoots it at his opponent.
Judgement Hammer: Green Lantern creates a hammer which he pushes the opponent away from him with.

Heroic Brutalities

Orb Crusher: Green Lantern encases his opponent in a green orb using his power ring, then shrinks it down, crushing the opponent into a broken heap.

Hammer Smash: Green Lantern creates two giant hammers in the air which he swings downward and crushes his opponents torso with.

MK vs DCU info #14: The Flash

2010-04-21T22:00:00.004+08:00

After a freak laboratory accident, police chemist Barry Allen was given the powers of superspeed and took on the crimson costume of the Flash. Able to travel at nearly the speed of light, the Flash can also vibrate through most obstacles and has been known to phase into entirely different realities.

Powers and abilities

Barry Allen is capable of running faster than the speed of light and, at times during the Silver Age, described as faster than the speed of thought (which is actually much slower than the speed of light, approximately 110 meters/second in human beings). The Flash possesses abilities that Jay Garrick has not always been able to duplicate, most notably the ability to "vibrate" in such a way as to pass through solid matter.

The Flash has regularly engaged in time travel using the Cosmic Treadmill device (he no longer needs this to conduct this feat), and is able to "vibrate" between dimensions. Barry is unique among Flashes and most characters in the DC Universe in that he has complete control over every molecule in his body. He is known to be immune to telepathic attacks and control, as he can shift his thoughts at a speed faster than normal thought.

Signature Moves

Fast Escape: Flash runs off one side of the screen and comes back into frame on the other side.

Around the World: Flash dashes superfast against his opponent three times, sending the opponent into a spin.

Super Uppercut: Flash runs off the side of the screen and then hits his opponent hard with an uppercut from behind.

Whirlwind Slam: The Flash runs circles around the opponent, which sends them flying into the air. Flash then jumps into the air and punches them into the ground.

Flashy Beatdown: The Flash runs around the opponent, pummeling them from all directions, finishing by stomping them to the ground.

MK vs DCU info #13: Batman

2010-04-20T22:00:00.003+08:00

When his parents were gunned down in front of him, young Bruce Wayne resolved to rid Gotham City of the criminal element that took their lives. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, in addition to mastering martial arts, detective techniques, and criminal psychology. Dressing as a bat to prey on criminals' fears and operating out of his secret Batcave below Wayne Manor, Batman fights crime with the aid of specialized gadgets and vehicles.

Powers and abilities

Despite being the only member of the Justice League without any superpowers or supernatural items, Batman has time and time again proven himself to be just as equally formidable as any other super-powered adversary against the forces of evil. Batman is known to always be prepared for just about every situation and predicament thrown at him. He is proficient in a multitude of forms of martial arts, possesses incredible reaction skill and superb intellect and wit.

Batman is never seen without his famous Utility Belt, which seems to possess just about every item needed for any problem, primarily in fighting and investigation. His most recurring items range from Batarangs (bat-shaped bladed boomerangs), bat-bolas (used to apprehend and disable fleeing enemies), batcuffs and the Bat-Grappling Hook, which he uses to traverse Gotham when not in his vehicles.

In addition, his batsuit appears to be resistant against many forms of hostile content and primarily functions as his disguise and to strike fear into his opponents due to its dark and menacing appearance.

Grappling Hook : Batman grabs the opponent, shoots his grappling hook upwards, and starts ascending. He then throws the opponent down.

MK vs DCU info #12: Superman

2010-04-19T22:00:00.003+08:00

As the planet Krypton braced for destruction, the infant Kal-El was placed in a rocketship by his parents and sent into space. Arriving on Earth as the Last Son of Krypton, he was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent on their Kansas farm. Clark Kent manifests the amazing powers of super-strength, flight, and invulnerability under Earth's yellow sun. Instilled with the values of right and wrong, he has taken on the identity of Superman to defend his adopted planet.

Powers and abilities

In all depictions, Superman has always been portrayed as one of the most powerful superheroes in comic book history. As a Kryptonian, Superman is only as strong as the average human being. However, having basked in yellow-colored sunlight since his infantile years, Superman is endowed with several superpowers, giving him unbridled strength no ordinary human could ever hope to gain. Superman's most prominent powers are flight, superstrength, heat vision, ice breath and X-ray vision. Fittingly nicknamed the 'Man of Steel', Superman possesses nigh-absolute immunity to hostile encounters. Superman's resistance varies throughout everyone who has handled the name but it remains consistent that he absolutely immune to all firearms known to man, from ballistics to explosives. However, he has been known to take damage from magical attacks as well as energy based attacks.

Superman's most well known and iconic weakness is Kryptonite, ore fragments spread throughout the galaxy from Krypton's debris after its destruction. It radiates a glow which cancels out Superman's powers and causes harm whenever he nears it and can even kill him if he experiences prolonged exposure. Superman has a lesser known weakness against red sun radiation.

Signature Moves

Heat Vision: Superman blasts the opponent with heated rays from his eyes.

Ice Breath: Superman blows a blast of freezing air at the opponent.

Inhale Capture: Superman sucks in air, drawing his opponent to him and axe-handle smashes the opponent away.

Ground Tremor: Superman slams his fist into the ground, sending out shockwaves.

Soaring Knockout: Superman throws his opponent into the air, jumps up and spikes them.

Shoulder Charged: Superman charges at his opponent with his shoulder.

Up, Up, and Away: Superman hovers in the air. Any button causes a different attack.

Hover Heat Vision Close: Superman blasts the opponent while in the air from close range.

Hover Heat Vision Far: Superman blasts the opponent while in the air from long range.

Hover Ground Tremor: Superman drops to the ground and slams his fist into the ground creating a shockwave.
Hover Cancel: Superman drops back down to the ground.

Heroic Brutalities

Nail Driver: Superman pounds his opponent straight into the ground, similar to Sheeva's Nail Driver.

Freeze Slam: Superman freezes the opponent with his ice breath and flies up with them. He then drops them to the ground, where the ice shatters, and Superman flies downward and stomps on them.

MK vs DCU info #11: Shao Kahn

2010-04-17T22:00:00.001+08:00

Emperor Shao Kahn's lust for power is matched only by his ruthlessness. For ages he conquered other realms and merged them with Outworld. Eventually he turned his attention to Earthrealm. To stave off invasion, Raiden convinced the Elder Gods to enforce the rules of the Mortal Kombat Tournament. Only if Shao Kahn were to win the tournament could he take Earthrealm. But Liu Kang defeated Outworld's champion, Shang Tsung, dashing any chance of Shao Kahn's victory. Enraged, Shao Kahn disregarded the Elder Gods' warnings and mounted an invasion. Defeated once again by Raiden and his allies, he was seemingly ripped apart by his own portal. But the realms are never truly safe from the evil that is Shao Kahn.

Signature Moves

Charging Spikes: Shao Kahn would shoulder ram his opponent with a streak following behind him, much like Johnny Cage's Shadow moves.

Wrath Hammer Attack: Shao Kahn would summon his Wrath Hammer, seemingly from thin air, and smash his opponent over the head with it. In Deception and on, the Wrath Hammer became a weapon style and thus was no longer needed as an individual special move.

Explosive Ball: Shao Kahn would fire off a green star like fireball, seemingly from his mouth or eyes.

Grab and Punch: Shao Kahn would lift his opponent up by the throat with one hand and then smash his fist into their face sending them sailing back. In Deception, this is simply his throw, and if performed next to death traps could automatically knock opponents into them.

Emperor's Shield: Shao Kahn would perform an uppercut like motion that would not only throw up a force field for a split second to deflect projectiles, but could also knock an opponent off his/her feet if physically too close.

MK vs DCU info #10: Shang Tsung

2010-04-16T22:00:00.001+08:00

A sorcerer who consumes the souls of his victims, Shang Tsung played host to the Mortal Kombat tournament in Earthrealm, stacking the odds in favor of the Emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn. He was finally defeated by the Shaolin monk Liu Kang and has sought to regain the favor of his master Shao Kahn ever since. Tsung's hatred of Liu Kang runs deep, and he would desire nothing more than to consume the soul of the one warrior who denied him victory.

Signature Moves

Flaming Skulls: Shang Tsung sends a fiery skull at his opponent. In the first game, he could throw up to six. In the other games it was either one, two, or three only.

Flaming Skull Eruption: Shang Tsung summons his fiery skulls to burst out of the ground in a series of three.

Soul Steal: If he needed energy, Shang Tsung drains it from the other player. He also does this in Shaolin Monks in a manner similar to his Mortal Kombat II fatality.

Hot Fire Escape: Shang Tsung digs into the ground and erupts at his opponent as a means of teleportation.

Fatalities

Soul Stealer: Shang Tsung grabs or levitates his opponent and consumes their soul, leaving behind a shrunken corps

Morph: Shang Tsung morphs into his opponent and executes the opponent's finisher.

MK vs DCU info #9: Baraka

2010-04-15T23:00:00.001+08:00

Tarkatans are vicious mutants from the wastes of Outworld, and Baraka is the most brutal among them. Serving in Shao Kahn's army, he gained the Emperor's favor and became one of his personal enforcers. Many of Shao Kahn's opponents have been slain by Baraka's retractable blades, including the defenders of Earthrealm during the Emperor's invasion. But when Shao Kahn was defeated by the Forces of Light, Baraka vowed to avenge his master and returned to Earthrealm to hunt them down.

Signature Moves

Flying Shard: Baraka fires a spark by scraping his blades to his opponent.

Chop Chop Blades: Baraka slices his opponent up vertically with his blades numerous times. In MK vs DCU, he follows up with his Mutant Blades move.

Blade Spin: Baraka would spin like a top with his blades extended, damaging his opponent.

Scrape Kick: Baraka gets on his hand and launches his opponent with legs. (MKvs.DCU)

Fatalities

Blade Lift: Extending both blades, Baraka stabs his opponent in the torso and lifts him/her high. The victim screams and flails about helplessly before expiring, the limp form twitching as it slides down the deadly shears. In Shaolin Monks, Baraka spreads out his arms, cutting the torso into pieces. However, in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, he slices the foe twice, then lifts and throws him/her behind him.

Chest Stab: Baraka kicks the opponent to the ground, jumps on top of him/her with his hands at his/her chest, and abruptly extends his blades.

MK vs DCU info #8: Kano

2010-04-14T22:00:00.004+08:00

An undisciplined but deadly thug, Kano is a killer for hire. His allegience to the Black Dragon clan has been profitable, though dangerous--exactly the way he likes it. Kano joined Shao Kahn's ranks during the invasion of Earthrealm, forsaking his own realm for personal gain. For his crimes, he is constantly hunted by the Special Forces agent Sonya Blade. Though he enjoys the chase, he knows that one day he will finish her in Mortal Kombat. That day might soon be at hand.

Signature moves
Cannonball: Kano would crunch into a ball and fly at his opponent.

Upwards Cannonball: Kano would aim his Cannonball upwards to an aerial opponent.

Knife Throw: Kano would throw a pair of knives at his opponent.

Chokehold: Kano would grab his opponent and lift them in the air by the throat and proceed to shake them.

Eye Laser: Kano shoots a laser from his eye at the opponent.

Fatalities
Knife Toss: Before executing this fatality, Kano slowly walks away from his opponent, then he throws both Butterfly Knives into the opponent.

Flip Stomp: Kano grabs the opponent, flips backwards with them, then jumps into the air. He comes back down and stomps on them with full force.

MK vs DCU info #7: Jax

2010-04-13T22:00:00.002+08:00

A decorated soldier and formidable warrior, Jax found that he could enhance his strength and fighting ability through technology. Replacing his arms with cybernetics, he has become a juggernaut in the fight to protect Earthrealm. After Emperor Shao Kahn's invasion, Jax realized that the military was unprepared for threats from other realms. He and his partner, Sonya Blade, formed a division of the Special Forces tasked with monitoring threats not from this world. The Outerworld Investigation Agency will soon face its first crisis.

Signature Moves
Energy Wave: Jax throws a wave of sonic energy at his opponent.

"Gotcha!" Grab: Jax grabs his opponent and punches him up to three times.

Missile: Jax shoots a missile from his bionic arms.

Double Missile: Jax shoots two missiles in quick succession.

Machine Gun: Jax takes out his machine gun and shoots at the enemy and says "Oh yeah!".

Fatalities
Head Clap: Jax claps his hands violently over his opponent's head, crushing it. In Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, the opponent's head is flattened in a comical fashion.

Air Machine Gun: Jax uppercuts the foe and and sprays a volley of bullets into the opponent while they're still in midair.

MK vs DCU info #6: Sonya Blade

2010-04-12T22:00:00.003+08:00

The impulsive Special Forces agent Sonya Blade knew nothing of other realms until she stumbled upon the Mortal Kombat tournament while pursuing the Black Dragon clan member Kano. After meeting Liu Kang and Raiden on Shang Tsung's island, her purpose in life was forever changed. She convinced her partner, Jax, to help spearhead a division of the Special Forces dedicated to protecting Earthrealm from outside forces. Though she has defended against exotic threats from other worlds, nothing could have prepared her for the invasion to come.

Signature Moves

Energy Rings: Clanging her wrists together Sonya would send out ring-like fireballs that would hit the opponent.

Leg Grab: Sonya would do a handstand and grab her opponent with her feet and slam them on the ground. It is unblockable. One of her classic attacks.

Face Planter: Sonya would take off into the air and fly across the screen with a punch to anyone who was in the air.

Inverted Bicycle Kick: Like Liu Kang, Sonya would rise into the air with a series of kicks to the opponent. This can turn into Bike Assault after doing a Bicycle Kick, Sonya does another Bicycle kick to the ground.

Cartwheel Kick: Sonya would perform a cartwheel at her opponent kicking them on impact.

Kiss Of Death: Sonya would blow a kiss that would stun the opponent. Note this move won't work on Kenshi, due to the fact that he is blind.

Air Borne Bicycle Kick: Sonya preforms her Bicycle Kick in the air, kicking her opponent while coming down.

Fatalities

Fiery Kiss of Death: This fatality has been Sonya's trademark fatality ever since MK1. She would blow a flaming kiss in the direction of her opponent, burning him/her alive.

Neck Breaker: Sonya grabs the opponent by the neck, stands upside-down while doing so and breaks their neck.

MK vs DCU info #5: Kitana

2010-04-09T22:00:00.001+08:00

Princess of Edenia, Kitana fights to free her realm from the oppression of Shao Kahn. Long ago, her realm was merged with Outworld when the emperor successfully invaded. When Earthrealm came under threat, she fought beside her new allies Liu Kang, Raiden, and the Forces of Light to deny the emperor another konquest. Having returned to Outworld, she has discovered a new threat and must uncover the truth behind the devastation.

Signature Moves

Ground Fan: Kitana throws one of her fans to her opponent. Because the move could be executed both on the ground and in mid-air, it was a great way to finish off a combo, making Kitana a deadly character in Mortal Kombat II.

Square Wave Punch: Kitana jumps into the air and attacks incoming foes with a flying punch. This attack is borrowed from Sonya during her absence in Mortal Kombat II, however, in later games that they have both appeared, both of them kept this attack (with the exception of Deadly Alliance, in which neither of them had this attack).

Fan Lift: Kitana uses her fans to make the enemy levitate helplessly in the air. This attack is served as both an anti-air attack and a set-up for juggle combos, and the effectiveness of the move has decreased significantly in each game since Mortal Kombat II. In Deadly Alliance, Unchained and Armageddon, performing this move while in an unarmed fighting style will automatically switch the player into Fan style.

Fan Swipe: Kitana swipes at her enemy with her razor sharp fan.

Pixie Dust Teleport: Kitana disappears in a violet cloud and reappears behind her opponent. This move is borrowed from Jade.

Rolling Fury: Kitana rolls under her opponent and trips them up. This move is ironically similar to Mileena's Rolling Thunder.

Razor's Tip: Kitana spins both her fans around her, dealing damage if the opponent touches her. This is similar to Kano's Blade Spin.

Fatalities

Kiss of Death: Kitana removes her mask and kisses her opponent on the cheek, who expands like a huge balloon before exploding into pieces. In UMK3, the opponent stretches to enormous size before exploding to pieces. In Deadly Alliance, the victim inflated several times (vomiting blood in between) before exploding.

Fan Chop: Kitana throws her fans at the foe's torso, killing them.

MK vs DCU info #4: Liu Kang

2010-04-08T22:00:00.002+08:00

A Shaolin monk, Liu Kang saved Earthrealm from the forces of Outworld by defeating Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat tournament. That peace was short-lived. Shao Kahn, angered by his defeat, bypassed the rules and invaded Earthrealm. Liu Kang was called back to action by Raiden, God of Thunder. With the Forces of Light at his side, he again pushed back the invasion and defeated Shao Kahn's minions. Liu Kang has returned to the Wu Shi Academy to continue his martial arts training, but his time there will be brief as a new threat beckons him to action.

Signature moves

Flying Kick: Liu Kang flies across the screen and connects with a kick to the opponent's torso.

High Dragon Fire: Liu Kang sends a fiery flame in the shape of a dragon across the screen out of his hands at his opponent.

Low Dragon Fire: Kneeling down, Liu Kang sends the same fireball at his opponent's feet.

Flying Bicycle Kick: Liu Kang flies across the screen with a series of multiple kicks to the opponent's torso.

Dragon's Tail: Liu Kang does a cartwheel kicking his opponent, a Sonya-based move. Pressing another attack button will allow Liu Kang to follow up with another move depending on the pressed button.

Fatalities

Arcade Drop: Liu Kang disappears, then an arcade cabinet of MK1 crushes the opponent. Afterwards, Liu Kang reappears and does his victory pose. In MK vs DCU, the arcade severely crushes the opponent, but the opponents still squirms.

Head Stomp: Liu uppercuts the foe and then bicycle kicks him/her then slams down with a flaming fist to the torso.

MK vs DCU info #3: Scorpion

2010-04-07T22:00:00.004+08:00

Scorpion was once a member of the Shirai Ryu ninja clan before he was slain by the elder Sub-Zero. Resurrected by the sorcerer Quan Chi, he entered the Mortal Kombat tournament and killed Sub-Zero to avenge the murders of his family and clan. But Sub-Zero's younger brother assumed his name and donned the familiar blue assassin's garb. Though he remains Quan Chi's enforcer, Scorpion will not rest until this Sub-Zero has been slain as well.

Signature Moves

Bloody Spear: Sending out a rope with a tipped Kunai at the end, it impales itself into the victim's chest, allowing Scorpion to pull him or her through the air towards him for a free hit, as well as cause a small bit of damage. This move often follows the words, "GET OVER HERE!" or "COME HERE!". It was originally believed that Scorpion's spear was actually a snake-like creature spawned from the palm of his hand when really it was a simple kunai, and it was thrown from his belt.

Hellfire Punch: Teleporting behind his opponent he connects with a punch called the Teleport Attack. It was later upgraded so as to leave behind a burst of fire when he vanishes.

Leg Takedown: Scorpion trips his opponent with a leg scissor takedown.

Hellfire: Scorpion summons the fires of Hell to burn his opponent from underneath.

Self Immolate: Scorpion releases a blast of hellfire from his body.

Fatalities

Toasty: Scorpion's signature fatality. Scorpion takes off his mask, revealing a skull face, and breathes fire at his opponent, burning them alive and causing them to explode (usually resulting in Dan Forden squealing "Toasty!"; in Mortal Kombat 4 Forden will say "Toasty! 3D!" owing to it being transferred to a new graphic dimension).

Lava Pool: Scorpion manifests a pool of lava below him and descends into it whilst a second drags the opponent in as the victim is burned by the hellfire. Moments later, the body is thrown back out of the pit, now reduced to a skeleton.

MK vs DCU info #2: Sub-Zero

2010-04-06T22:00:00.004+08:00

An assassin of the Lin Kuei clan, Sub-Zero is skilled in the art of kombat and commands the power of ice and cold. He assumed the mantle of Sub-Zero when his brother was killed by the ninja specter Scorpion in the same Mortal Kombat tournament that Liu Kang won. Though his brother succumbed to corruption, Sub-Zero struggles with his conscience and questions the methods of his clan. He will one day have to make a choice between loyalty to the Lin Kuei and the safety of Earthrealm.

Signature Moves

Ice Blast: Sub-Zero sends a blast of ice horizontally towards the opponent to temporarily freeze them in place for a free hit. In the earlier Mortal Kombat games, if Sub-Zero were to freeze the opponent twice, the second iceball would defrost the opponent and freeze Sub-Zero, setting him up for a free hit.

Slide: Sub-Zero slides across the floor, knocking the opponent off their feet. It is assumed Sub-Zero slides by freezing the soles of his feet.

Ice Shower/Ice Pillar: Sub-Zero shoots ice straight overhead which falls back down atop his opponent. He can shoot it close, mid way, or far away to freeze the opponent.
Freezing Teleport: Sub-Zero turns into ice, falls to the ground, and reappears next to his opponent.

Ice Defense: Sub-Zero quickly covers himself in a sheet of ice. If an opponent attacks him physically whilst in this state, they will automatically be flash-frozen as Sub Zero disappears and reappears behind the opponent with his Kori Blade in hand to strike them down.

Ice Nugget: Sub-Zero makes a nugget out of ice above his opponent, which comes crashing down onto the opponent. It is unblockable.

Fatalities

Frozen Beatdown: Sub-Zero grabs the opponent and presses them over his head. After freezing the opponent, Sub-Zero breaks them into pieces with his own hands.

Freeze Kick: Sub-Zero freezes his opponent and kicks them. The opponent is smashed to pieces after the kick.

MK vs DCU info #1: Raiden

2010-04-05T22:00:00.004+08:00

Raiden: God of Thunder, Protector of Earthrealm. Ageless and wise beyond measure, he is the defender who rallies Earthrealm's mortals to fight against the forces of evil. When his brother, Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld, finally invaded Earthrealm, only Raiden and his Forces of Light stood between slavery and freedom. As Earthrealm merged with Outworld, Raiden held the line and fought back against the emperor, defeating him and freeing Earthrealm. It seemed that peace was finally achieved, but the battle for Earthrealm had only just begun."

Signature moves

Teleport: Raiden would vanish at will and reappear behind his opponent.
Electricity: Raiden sends a bolt of lightning flying at his opponent.
Body Torpedo: Raiden flies at his opponent and pushes them against the wall.
Lightning Shocker: Raiden grabs his opponent and electrocutes them.

Fatalities

Electrocution III: Raiden charges electricity into his hand and grabs his opponent, sending it through their body. The electric shock burns off all the opponent's flesh, leaving behind their smoking skeleton.

Electric Slam: Raiden grabs the opponent, zaps them for a bit, then flies up in the air with them. A couple seconds later, the opponent falls back down and lands headfirst in the ground.

Operation Overdrive Ranger data 12: Arsenal

2008-11-29T10:00:00.000+08:00

Overdrive Tracker
The Overdrive Tracker is the Morpher for the Operation Overdrive Rangers. It is a fully functional cell phone equipped with multiple additions: a black light that can decode hidden messages, the Turbo Wheel which allows the Rangers to execute commands, and extra keypad buttons to be used for summoning their various Zords. The morphing call is "Overdrive Accelerate!". In order for the Rangers to morph, the Turbo Wheel must be spinning when the morphing call is uttered. This is usually done by running it down their arm, down a sword, or on any available surface.

Mercury Morpher
This morpher is a wrist-worn morpher that allows Tyzonn to become the Mercury Ranger. It has a rotatable bezel and LCD screen. Like the other Rangers, his morphing call is "Overdrive Accelerate!". He activates the morpher by pushing a button.

Drive Defender
The personal sidearm for the rangers, the Drive Defender features both a blaster mode and a saber mode.

OO Zip Shooter
A hand tool used by the Rangers that can become a zip-line, parachute, flare signal, or wire to tie up opponents. When attached to the Drive Defender, the weapon can be used as a sniper scope to zoom in and fire a stronger blast.

Control Console Drivers
Used by the Rangers to control their Drive Max Zords; they collapse into a suitcase-like form, and then expand when inserted into the control panels of the Zords. Each suitcase comprises of a steering wheel and two gearsticks within its confines.

Each Ranger possesses his/her own weapon:

The Red Ranger wields the Drive Lance, a spear with a retractable blade. The weapon visually resembles a vehicle's leaf spring. Using this spear, the Red Ranger can do a high-speed slash attack called Redline Time, named after the RPM term, or deliver a charged fire slash.

The Black Ranger wields the Drive Slammer, a giant sledgehammer that resembles a drive shaft and axle. It can be thrown like a boomerang, can create chasms by striking the ground, or can charge up for a double slash.

The Blue Ranger wields the Drive Vortex, a hand-held fan that can create strong winds. This weapon is designed to resemble a jet turbine. He can use it to propel himself into the air or to launch a whirlwind blast.

The Yellow Ranger wields the Drive Claws, two hand-held bulldozer implements that can be used to slash or dig. They are visually designed in resemblance of loader buckets. She can throw rocks and debris at opponents or deliver twin slashes.

The Pink Ranger wields the Drive Geyser, a powerful, water-based gun. Unlike the other Rangers' weapons, the Drive Geyser is not made to look like any specific part of a vehicle's chassis. Instead, this weapon resembles a miniature version of the Sub Driver. It can launch a powerful, concentrated flow of water or high-pressured bubbles at opponents.

Drive Detector

The Mercury Ranger wields the Drive Detector, a weapon with three modes: lance, blaster, and metal detector (which can be used to find monsters who have hidden underground). It can launch an energy slash projectile or charged metal blast. Its power is sufficient to destroy some of the strongest monsters or Fearcats.

Defender Vest and Drill Blaster

A protective vest and a two ended Blaster weapon that can be used by any Ranger. One end (based on Cement Driver) encases the monster in cement with a Tri-Laser, freezing them in place. The other (based on Drill Driver) fires a drill head into the monster to destroy it. The vest is to protect the user from the Drill Blaster's powerful recoil, and is powered by one of Fire Heart's dragon scales. The vest can also be used in combat without the Drill Blaster to protect the Ranger wearing it against attacks.

Sentinel Sword

When the Sentinel Knight merged with the sword Excelsior, it gave him the power to transform into a sword mode which the Rangers are able to carry with them. They can use the sword in battle or, by turning the knob on its hilt, transform it back into the Sentinel Knight. The sword can also be enlarged and used by the DriveMax Megazord in battle.

Operation Overdrive Ranger data 11: Battlefleet Zords

2008-11-28T11:42:00.006+08:00

The BattleFleet Zord is an amphibious battleship comprised of five smaller component Zords. Like the Rescue Runners, they follow the same numerical sequence as the other DriveMax Zords, despite having a unique name, suggesting again that all 18 Zords are collectively known as the DriveMax Zords.

Drive Commander
The Drive Commander is a jet fighter that belongs to the Red Ranger and serves as the bridge of the BattleFleet Zord in battleship mode and the head of the BattleFleet Megazord.

Drive Carrier
The Drive Carrier is a tanker that belongs to the Black Ranger and becomes the main body and legs of the BattleFleet Megazord formation.

Drive Fighter
The Drive Fighter is a stealth bomber-like plane that belongs to the Blue Ranger and becomes the shoulders of the BattleFleet Megazord formation.

Drive Attacker
The Drive Attacker is a shuttle that belongs to the Yellow Ranger and becomes the chest of the BattleFleet Megazord formation.

Drive Roader
The Drive Roader is a road roller that belongs to the Pink Ranger and becomes the arms of the BattleFleet Megazord formation.

Battlefleet Megazord
The five BattleFleet component Zords make up an amphibious battleship called the BattleFleet Zord. The components can also form a BattleFleet Megazord. In addition to the range of laser cannons available in both its forms, the BattleFleet Megazord can also use its cylindrical, 'steamroller-like' fists in a finishing move called BattleFleet Roller.

Operation Overdrive Ranger data 10: Rescue Runners

2008-11-27T11:00:00.005+08:00

The Rescue Runners are the Mercury Ranger's personal fleet of DriveMax Zords, designed by Andrew Hartford. They are based on rescue and emergency vehicles.

Fire Truck Zord

A red fire truck designed for Tyzonn by Andrew Hartford. Tyzonn controls this Zord from the main cockpit, and can control the other 2 Rescue Runners via remote. It has hydraulic lifts to raise the Zord to any height to extinguish fires or attack enemies. It forms the head, torso and legs of the Flash Point Megazord.

Rescue Runner 1

An ambulance designed by Andrew and given to Tyzonn. It is controlled by Tyzonn from the cockpit of the Fire Truck Zord. It hovers in the air, allowing it to fly around enemies and blast them with its "Ambulance Pulsar" lasers. It becomes the left arm of the Flash Point Megazord.

Rescue Runner 2

A police car designed by Andrew and given to Tyzonn. It is also controlled by Tyzonn from the cockpit of the Fire Truck Zord. It hovers in the air, allowing it to fly around enemies and blast them with its "Police Vulcan" lasers. It becomes the right arm of the Flash Point Megazord.

Flash Point Megazord

When the Mercury Ranger's Rescue Runners combine, they form the Flash Point Megazord. Its primary weapons are the water cannons on the Fire Truck Zord and the lasers on Rescue Runners 1 and 2. It uses the Fire Truck's hydraulic lifts as legs that can raise and lower the Megazord to evade attacks. Its finisher, Hydro Blast, involves all three of its water cannons, including one normally retracted behind its head, firing at once.

Rescue Runners 1 and 2 can combine with DriveMax Ultrazord; the formation is currently unnamed and only showed up in one appearance, where the Ultrazord stayed dormant while Flash Point Megazord finished the battle. They can also combine with Drive Max Megazord to form a currently unnamed formation that allows the Megazord to fire the Rescue Runners' lasers.

Operation Overdrive Ranger data 9: DriveMax formations

2008-11-26T11:00:00.006+08:00

Super Drive Max Megazord

When the Rangers combine the Drill, Shovel, Cement, and Crane Drivers with the Drive Max Megazord, it forms the Super Drive Max Megazord. This combination can use the Cement Driver (Wall Shoot) to freeze an opponent, and can headbutt enemies using its helmet (Cannonball Headbutt). Its finishing attack involves a double strike with the Drill and Shovel Drivers while thrusting itself forward using the Cement and Crane Drivers to roll along the ground (Double Arm Crash).

Drive Max Ultrazord

When the Super DriveMax Megazord combines with the powerful Sonic Streaker, they form the DriveMax Ultrazord. It is capable of flight and destroys enemies by charging the solar panel on its chest and firing an energy blast at them. It can also switch arms with the Flash Point Megazord, replacing the Drill and Shovel Drivers with Rescue Runners 1 and 2.

Operation Overdrive Ranger data 8: The Auxilliary DriveMax Zords

2008-11-25T10:00:00.007+08:00

Additional DriveMax vehicles that can power-up the DriveMax Megazord as well as the Flashpoint Megazord. These Zords themselves can combine and form the Dual Drive Megazord.

Drill Driver
Being exceptionally powerful, the orange Drill Driver was difficult to operate during its first use by the Red Ranger, and afterwards it became the Yellow Ranger's second Zord. It is modelled after a tunnel boring machine, and is capable of drilling through material (earth, ice, etc.) at high speeds. It can replace the Dozer Driver on the DriveMax Megazord to form the DriveMax Megazord Drill Formation, giving the Megazord a finishing move known as "Maximum Penetration", where it uses the Drill to pierce through an enemy. The Drill Driver functions as the right arm for the Dual Drive Megazord, Super DriveMax Megazord and the Drive Max Ultrazord.

Shovel Driver
The cyan Shovel Driver is the Pink Ranger's second Zord. It is modelled after an exacavtor, and is capable of digging through earth and using a powerful swing attack. It can replace the Sub Driver on the DriveMax Megazord to form the DriveMax Megazord Shovel Formation, giving the Megazord a Power punch finisher known as the "Shovel Knuckle". The Shovel Driver functions as the left arm for the Dual Drive Megazord, Super Drive Max Megazord and the Drive Max Ultrazord.

Cement Driver
The green Cement Driver is the Blue Ranger's second Zord. It is modelled after a concrete mixer, and is capable of firing a blast of cement from a cannon hidden in its mixer section, immobilizing and containing a target. It can replace the Dozer Driver on the DriveMax Megazord to form the DriveMax Megazord Mixer Formation, giving the Megazord a cement-blast finisher known as the "Agitation Shoot". The Cement Driver functions as the right leg for the Dual Drive Megazord, and the right foot for the Super Drive Max Megazord and Drive Max Ultrazord.

Crane Driver
The purple Crane Driver the Black Ranger's second Zord, though it was temporarily driven by the Red Ranger at one point. It is modelled after a truck-mounted crane, and is capable of grabbing enemies with its claw and then swinging them around in the air with a powerful attack. It can replace the Sub Driver on the DriveMax Megazord to form DriveMax Megazord Crane Formation, allowing the Megazord to use its crane arm for a long-distance punch or to retrieve items from afar, in a move known as "Wire-Hook Punch". The Crane Driver functions as the left leg for the Dual Drive Megazord, and the left foot and helmet for the Super DriveMax Megazord and Drive Max Ultrazord.

Sonic Streaker

A multi-colored jet aircraft, piloted by the Red Ranger as his second Zord. It has the same speed and agility of S.H.A.R.C., but with the most advanced weapons. Its wingspan is so long, that the wings fold upward so that it can fit into its hangar. The cockpit of this Zord doubles as an exploration vehicle and the mecha itself is able to carry other DriveMax Zords into action. The wingtips have cannons, and Sonic Streaker can also drop explosives like a military bomber. In Dual Drive Megazord formation, the Sonic Streaker makes up the body and head. When the DriveMax Ultrazord is formed, the Sonic Streaker makes up of the wings, the chest, the belt, and the helmet which covers the head entirely.

Dual Drive Megazord

The Sonic Streaker can combine with the other 4 auxilliary DriveMax Zords to form the Dual Drive Megazord. This combination finishes its opponents by firing a quadruple blast from its limbs.

Operation Overdrive Ranger data 7: The first 5 DriveMax Zords

2008-11-24T10:00:00.008+08:00

The 5 core Rangers' primary Zords. They are typically called first and make up the Rangers' primary Megazord.

Dump Driver 1
The Red Ranger's main Zord, in the form of a dump truck. It is capable of hauling many tons of material and is equipped with lasers and claws. When the DriveMax Megazord, Super DriveMax Megazord or DriveMax Ultrazord is formed, the Dump Driver becomes the head, main body, and legs.

Speed Driver 2
The Black Ranger's main Zord, in the form of a formula race car. It is capable of high speed and is equipped with missiles. When the DriveMax Megazord is formed, the Speed Driver becomes the Chest. When the Super DriveMax Megazord or DriveMax Ultrazord is formed the Speed Driver becomes the back.

Gyro Driver 3
The Blue Ranger's main Zord, in the form of an autogyro. It is capable of high speed flight and is equipped with lasers and a rescue line. When the DriveMax Megazord is formed, the Gyro Driver becomes the helmet and back. When the Super DriveMax Megazord is formed, it forms the spine (attaching to the Speed Driver). And when the DriveMax Ultrazord is formed, it becomes the waist armor.

Dozer Driver 4
The Yellow Ranger's main Zord, in the form of a bulldozer. It is capable of earth dozing and is equipped with lasers. When the DriveMax Megazord is formed, the Dozer Driver make up the right arm. When the Super DriveMax Megazord or DriveMax Ultrazord is formed, it becomes part of the right leg.

Sub Driver 5
The Pink Ranger's main Zord, in the form of a submarine. It is the only zord capable of deep sea searching, in part by having a double plated hull, which makes it impervious to millions of psi of water pressure. It is also equipped with mounted laser cannons. The speed of the Sub Driver borders breaking the sound barrier. When the DriveMax Megazord is formed, the Sub Driver forms the left arm. When the Super DriveMax Megazord or DriveMax Ultrazord is formed, it becomes a component of the left leg.

DriveMax Megazord
When the Rangers combine their five primary Zords, they form the DriveMax Megazord. The Megazord is armed with the Drive Digger shovel and a pick axe to attack its opponents. These two weapons can be joined together to form the Drive Digger Saber Mode. With the Saber, the DriveMax Megazord can form an energy seal, shaped like the Operation Overdrive logo, to slash at opponents, destroying them.

Mega Truck
The DriveMax Megazord can transform into a truck form, the Mega Truck, that has Speed and Gyro Driver as the tractor portion, and Dump Driver as the trailer, with Dozer and Sub Driver in Dump Driver's bucket portions.
