Meat is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He made his debut in Mortal Kombat 4 as a hidden character.
Info[]
Meat's backstory in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is actually revealed during his game ending, stated that he was a horrific failed experiment created by Shang Tsung. He escaped the sorcerer's clutches before he could be fully completed. The warrior Shujinko describes Meat as being "a fun red guy who assists Shao Kahn". Although this relationship is not made clear in the story.
In his Armageddon ending, it is said that while the other fighters focused on each other, Meat rushed past them up the pyramid. Once he defeated Blaze, he gained the power to shapeshift. Since he had the ability to become anyone he pleased, Meat lost his sense of identity and slipped into obscurity.
Powers and abilities[]
It is quite unknown what Meat's powers are or their extent. In his debut, Meat was able to mimic the moves of the fighter that was originally chosen in his place down to the last detail. In Armageddon, Meat specialises in self-mutilation and immunity to pain, as he is able to function even without a head, and harms his own body as a means to rejuvenate himself when need be. Meat is also seen using weapons, such as the cleavers, like Salvatore Cuneo.
Trivia[]
- Meat, Nitara, and Skarlet are the only characters whose powers involve the use of blood.
- Clearing Mortal Kombat 4 stages as Meat in the arcade version causes the game to reset itself.
- If Meat is frozen by Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat 4, he will appear as a frozen version of the character he is imitating. If Meat is frozen while imitating Goro however, Goro's frozen model will appear highly deformed.
