Hey, isn’t this the guy who looks like that other guy, but blue? Well… yeah, he is, but he is so much more than just a color swap. You see, before there was ever Red vs. Blue, there was Blue vs. Yellow. The enmity between the Lin Kuei and the Shirai Ryu is one that spans generations, and even birthed the the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Even without that pretty interesting back story, Sub-Zero would still maintain his status as one of the most iconic Mortal Kombat mainstays.

Sub-Zero is a cryomancer which means he can summon and control ice. This makes for one of the most unique fighting styles found in Mortal Kombat. Leaving a trail of ice on the floor, freezing enemies in mid air, or generating blades of ice are all awesome things to do and will make you the bane of your adversary’s existence. Sub-Zero was also lucky enough to even get his own game, Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, which took place before the events of the first Mortal Kombat tournament.

Like Scorpion, Sub-Zero has appeared in every installment of the Mortal Kombat series, although as two different people (brothers, in fact) taking up the mantle. The first Sub Zero went on to become Noob Saibot (yet another awesome character). You know a character is iconic when the developers refuse to let the man under the mask ever truly die.
