You reestablish the Shirai-Ryu as I reform the Lin Kuei. We both seek to shed our clans' dark pasts. Dedicate them to Earthrealm's protection. Our common purpose gives us a chance to end old rivalries. To start anew.
~ Sub-Zero to Scorpion regarding their past

Sub-Zero (Real Name: Kuai Liang) is one of the main protagonists of the Mortal Kombat franchise. He is the grandmaster of the Lin Kuei and the younger brother of Bi-Han, who he goes on a mission to avenge, but later joins the Earth realm forces.

His Good Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]

  • He is generally a polite and honorable man to everyone, including his enemies sometimes.
  • While he started off wrathful in Mortal Kombat 9, he completely subverts it by 11, making peace with Scorpion.
  • He is first seen sparing an opponent, which is against the Lin Kuei code.
  • He defeats Sektor in a fight to lead the Lin Kuei and takes in Frost as his apprentice.
  • He gives Shujinko advice on how to stop Onaga.
  • He tries to stop Frost from touching the medallion and freezing herself.
  • After defeating Noob Saibot and Smoke, he stays with them to find a way to resurrect them and helps Smoke run from the Lin Kuei to keep from cyberization.
  • He goes on a mission to avenge his dead brother after finding out Scorpion killed him.
  • He shows sympathy to Cyrax after he is cyberized.
  • He defeats Ermac after he mutilates Jax and tells Sonya how to get him to safety.
  • After he is cyberized and his humanity is restored, he sneaks into outworld to find Quan Chi.
  • He saves the special forces soldiers when they were getting tortured by Kano and freezes Goro and Kintaro.
  • He expresses remorse for his brother's fall and tries to reach out to him.
  • When Sindel attacks the warriors, he shields Stryker.
  • He aids the Earth realm warriors in fighting the Lin Kuei cyborgs.
  • He helps the kombat kids practice and gives them advice to better themselves.
  • He makes peace with Scorpion and stops Frost from attacking him.
  • He forgives Scorpion for killing his brother and encourages him to go after Quan Chi.
  • Leads the fight against Kotal Kahn's army when they go to invade the Earth realm.
  • He shows remorse and sympathy to the fallen Lin Kuei.
  • He promises Cyrax that he will resurrect him and reassures him he is forever Lin Kuei before he shuts down the Lin Kuei cyborgs.
  • He joins Raiden in the final fight against Kronika.
  • In his MK11 ending, he restores his brother's soul and resurrects him to the living again.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]

  • He is lethal in combat. However, most of the enemies he fights are mindless demons and cyborgs, and he gives them quick deaths with his freezing abilities.
  • Fails the admirable standard to Raiden and Cassie Cage, the latter of whom has less resources than him.
  • He can be pretty harsh and very vengeful as he threatens anyone with death or immense pain whenever he feels someone has offended his ideals or his clan.

Trivia[]

  • He is the first male Near Pure Good in the franchise followed by Johnny and Liu Kang.
  • Ironically, his brother, Bi-Han, is Near Pure Evil, in contrast to him being Near Pure Good.
  • His NPG status still holds up due to the canonization of all the timelines in Mortal Kombat. Meaning that this Sub-Zero still exists, but as a Keeper of Time in his MK11 ending. The status of his New Era counterpart (where he is Scorpion instead of Hanzo Hasashi) has yet to be determined.
