2. Changed Scorpion Kunai Weapon
Scorpion is known to have a kunai weapon that can slide like a harpoon. The kunai was extremely deadly because it not only penetrated the enemy but also pulled him straight at him and finished him off with a deadly blow.
In some series, Scorpion's kunai weapon has several changes. In the first Mortal Kombat series, Scorpion's kunai weapon is only connected by a rope. Until the modern Mortal Kombat series, Scorpion's kunai weapon no longer uses a rope but uses an iron chain that looks cooler.
Even in some Mortal Kombat series, Scorpion weapons always change. Even in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film, the Scorpion weapon is not a kunai, but rather like a snake coming out of the palm of his hand.
