Hell (also known as Hades) is Scorpion's original battlefield and a stage from time to time in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. It debuted in Mortal Kombat 3. In here, as a stage fatality, any dazed opponent can be uppercut into a pool of lava nearby.
Overview[]
It was clarified that Hell and the Never Never Land are one and the same, but somehow, Hell is also a part of the dark realm.
The same diabolical, heartless arena reappeared in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Resembling some parts of Scorpion's Land, this arena is still situated in the hoary and dark Never Land. Surrounded by boiling lava, skull pillars and jagged structures, combatants took part in ferocious battles on multiple and endless levels after each opponent gets knocked out and then thrown down into the next level of the Never Land.
Hell returns in Mortal Kombat 9, with a darker, updated look from Mortal Kombat 3. The changes made in the arena is that there are less skull pillars, there is smoke and a hell beast fighting Cerberus in the background, the skulls glow with sparks and lava and there are lit skulls on the ground. There are hands of dead or undead sinners coming out of the small pits of lava. This arena can also be seen in Scorpion's victory pose. A stage fatality can also be achieved here, forcing the victim's head into the lava, burning the unfortunate soul's face off with their eye sockets leaking molten rock. Then the victim's torturer stomps on the victim's head, dipping it even deeper in the lava. Finally, the victim's whole head is melted and he dies, humiliatingly.
Trivia[]
- In the animated series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Planet, Scorpion attempts to open a portal to Hell (referred to as the "Dark Realm of Damned Souls"). It's here, told in a flashback, that Scorpion absorbs a number of warrior spirits and begins his revenge plan against the Lin Kuei Clan. Shang Tsung remembers his time in Hell after he was defeated by Liu Kang and vividly describes it as "eternal torment among the damned within the dark and fiery void."
- In the series Mortal Kombat: Conquest, it is here that Scorpion recruits fighters for his organisation and it is implied that after his defeat, Scorpion fell through the Earth to this dark place. Either that or he was pulled to the place by wicked demons.
