Hsu Hao
First Appearance: Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Last Appearance: Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Hsu Hao is quite literally Ed Boon's least favorite Mortal Kombat kharacter ever. It's easy to see why. He is also always the first character to be de-konfirmed leading up to every single game.

First of all, this guy is part of the Red Dragon, who pre-dates the Black Dragon, but all of their members are fucking clowns. Hsu Hao is the figurehead for this bad idea, and he's also just... not interesting, even a little bit.

His moves are generic clap, generic stomp, generic shock wave and his fatality uses his heart laser and it's uninspired, to say the least.

His story is that he pretends to be part of Special Forces so he could lead them to Black Dragon to kill the Black Dragon. He is then confronted by Jax and his fake heart is ripped out after Hsu Hao sabotage's the Special Forces inter-realm portals. It was immediately said that Jax's ending is 100% kanon because Hsu Hao is never returning.

However, everyone was returning for Armageddon, but they explain Jarek, they explain everyone else being there. Hsu Hao gets no explanation because they hate him. And his ending in that one is that he is obliterated by Blaze and turned into a husk of emptiness. He is also one of the few who just fucking dies in his ending.

And you may expect him to not be in the reboot timeline, but he is! He appears in the first issue of the MKX Komic, and he's fucking killed immediately in the first issue, hilariously. Scorpion just murks him, no hesitation. He also appears in The Joker's MK11 ending, which is just funny because there is nobody else's ending he belongs in.

Hsu Hao is boring, lame, and there's nothing notable about him other than him being hated by the MK staff. He is the most likely to never ever return, for good reason.

Grade: F-
