[edit] Sentence Structure

"Hydro (who served as Sub-Zero's close associate) was killed by Scorpion and thus depicting the death of Sub-Zero the elder. Therefore the Sub-Zero that was killed by Sub-Zero was actually Sub-Zero the elder. "

What the devil... I'm not sure what this is saying, here. The S 03:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know either. Never read any of the comics. If you think you can clear it up, go for it. dfg 16:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, neither have I. It's just... that sentence can mean so many different things, but not what it actually states. The syntax is horrible. The S 03:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll get on this soon. I have all the comics. Shadaloo 12:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Holy crap, I JUST figured this out, about a year later- the original editor is saying Hydro's death represent's the elder Sub-Zero's death. Clearly that can't be accurate, given the elder Sub-Zero later dies by Scorpion's hand. Hydro's just a minor character. I'll fix this now... --L T Dangerous 18:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two Sub-Zeros

I think the article is mistaken about being only 1 Sub-Zero. At the end of the 2nd Tournament Edition Scorpion incinerates Sub-Zero and the next page, it shows Shao Kahn holding both a skull and the medallion (the object each side has to get to win) while saying the next:

"It was a brave showing, mortal. Were it within me to do so...I would wish you a season of rest for your tortured soul..."

Moreover, Sub-Zero's line at the last page of said comic are these:

"Treachery and deceit were not a part of the Lin Kuei order when my brother was a part of it..."

A brother? Isn't that more or less saying this one is the younger, while the older did infact died under Scorpion's flames? Someone should fix that in the article.

[edit] Wasn't there the Deception series?

Like in 2005 or so? --HanzoHattori 10:54, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Wam Entertainment was working on a Deception comic but I don't think it ever got released. NinjaFromHell 16:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I see. Looks like they went out of business before it was relased. --HanzoHattori 17:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ouch...

I've just done a major overhaul to the article, greatly expanding and rewording the canon comics section in the process. I actually can't believe we went this long without mentioning the MK4 comic properly. I realise there's a lot of (sadly, I feel, essential) text hence why I've uploaded the covers to the canon comics and two other pictures from them. I think the non-canon comics section could do with looking at, too, which I'll get on in short order. --L T Dangerous 17:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comic characters

Where are Wynd and Rayne (Rayden's assistants in Rayden & Kano Trilogy) ? --200.101.54.25 17:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
