Created in 1992, the Mortal Kombat franchise is one that I hold near and dear to my heart. I love it not only for nostalgic reasons, but also because it has only improved over time.

The Mortal Kombat premise is simple: you select characters to battle and fight to the death. There’s a story mode option in case you’re more of a lone gamer, but one of the best things about this game is how much fun it is to play with your friends.

Another great thing about Mortal Kombat is how much it’s improved over the years. Not only have the graphics gotten cleaner and the fatalities bloodier, but the character list has expanded so much. These days, characters you know and love from other franchises have been added to the games. Notables include Jason from Friday the 13th, Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street, and even Batman from the DC universe.

So, without further adieu, here are three looks inspired by some of Mortal Kombat’s most classic characters:

Scorpion

One of the most popular original characters that remains playable in almost every Mortal Kombat game, Scorpion is scarily powerful. While harnessing the power of fire to destroy anyone in his way, he is also an undead ninja seeking vengeance for his death.

For a look inspired by Scorpion’s fiery battle suit, start off with a pair of leather biker pants and a red, studded belt that just screams hardcore. Throw up the hood on a hooded moto jacket and slip on a mustard yellow tee reminiscent of Scorpion’s tunic. Add a pair of lace-up chunky boots and a bright orange lip to finish off the look. You’re ready to set the town ablaze.

Sub Zero

Sub-Zero has the ability to control ice in many forms. Along with Scorpion, he is another original character that is playable in a majority of Mortal Kombat games. And most importantly, he’s also the one who murdered Scorpion.
