Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Malibu Comics' adaptation of the infamously violent Fighting Game series by Midway, Mortal Kombat lasted surprisingly longer than their previous adaptation attempt based off of Street Fighter, most likely because the bar of controversy was set so high by Midway. In effect, the comics ended up being tamer than the games.The comic stated in October 1994 with the Mortal Kombat: Blood and Thunder miniseries with a prequel, Issue '0 released in December. Although the series first adapted the story of the first game, it would later go far down its own route and forge its own storyline for the first two games.This article is about the Malibu series.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: Scorpion seems to be a far more evil character here, willingly becoming one of Shao Kahn's generals. Played straight with Jade and Smoke, who are Shao Kahn's assassins as well as a deadly duo. At the time, neither character had an official backstory, although Smoke does make an appearance as one of the younger Sub-Zero's Lin Kuei comrades in the official Midway comic tie-in to Mortal Kombat II, but one could easily miss the single line in which his name is said.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Achey Scars: Sub-Zero has a throat injury from when he first battled (and killed) Scorpion. It flares up whenever Scorpion is nearby.

Adaptational Heroism: Well, Anti-heroism, but in any case, Baraka. In the games he's Shao Kahn's (and sometimes Mileena's) loyal soldier and killer. In the comics, he's instead part of a rebel group consisting of himself, Kung Lao, Sub-Zero and Kitana. At the end of Battlewave, this leads to the completely paradoxical sight of Baraka being counted among the heroes' roster. That said, his belligerent, anti-social nutbar nature put him at odds with the others more often than not. He even willingly protects a baby, if only so he has something to fight for. Eventually, Baraka snaps and goes off on his own. Played utterly straight with Noob Saibot, who in the comics is not a corrupted resurrected Sub-Zero the older, but a separate being who appears in Baraka's oneshot issue, tells Baraka of the baby Nania's great destiny he has ahead of him and takes Nania away when the immediate danger (Scorpion) has passed.

All Your Powers Combined: Zaggot uses this trope to create the Kombatant, a huge malevolent construct of chaos that uses the entire Mortal Kombat cast's powers.
