Top 10 Strongest Mortal Kombat X Characters

1. Scorpion

   

   Scorpion is a name in itself. It represents the power he possesses. The undeniable fact about him is that he is such a badass character that others should think twice before fighting him, whether it's Sub-Zero, Shinnok, Raiden, Ermac, etc. His powers are unbelievable, and he has the best Fatality, in my opinion. I just love this character.

   Best character in Mortal Kombat. He isn't defeated by anyone, and with him and Sub-Zero being friends in the Mortal Kombat previous story, they are impossible to kill!

   He has won and lost, but he has made a great impact on the Mortal Kombat series. The "Get over here!" move is an iconic, popular, and effective technique.

2. Shinnok

   

   Shinnok is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He made his debut in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero as the final boss and first became playable in Mortal Kombat 4. Shinnok is a fallen Elder God and one of the primary antagonists in the franchise.

   Corrupted Shinnok is the hardest boss, in my opinion. Although I'm a skilled player (good but not the best, don't judge), it takes me at least two or three tries to beat him, so overall, he is one of the best.

   On the other hand, my favorite character to play with is Scorpion. He is mainly the best player in terms of skill, but only if you know how to use him. I think Scorpion is the No. 1.

   Shinnok is the strongest character in Mortal Kombat, from Mortal Kombat 1 to X. He possesses the powers of all Mortal Kombat characters.

3. Raiden

   

   Raiden is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series developed by Midway Games. He made his debut as one of the original seven playable characters in the 1992 arcade game Mortal Kombat. Raiden has remained one of the central and most iconic characters throughout the franchise's history... read more

   Let me explain why Raiden deserves the spot as the most powerful kombatant ever. Sure, Scorpion has a whole arsenal of weapons, including his chained spears, dual swords, and spiked gauntlets, and he controls hellfire. But just because he is the most iconic and most liked character doesn't necessarily mean he is the most powerful.

   Raiden is a thunder god. He can teleport, create lightning traps, and shoot lightning. He controls lightning! I don't want to make this too long, but since he controls lightning, he can conduct as much of it as he desires. He can produce enough to wipe out the entire kombat roster in one go without breaking a sweat. And if that wasn't enough, at the ending of MKX, he possesses Shinnok's amulet, which makes him beyond powerful.

4. Sub-Zero

   

   Sub-Zero is a video game character from the Mortal Kombat series and one of the original fighters introduced in the first game, released in 1992. He is known for his ice-based powers, including the ability to freeze opponents. Sub-Zero is the only character to have appeared in every main entry of the... read more

   Yes, Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) was murdered by Scorpion, but Bi-Han was a weaker and less intelligent character than his brother. Later, in MK9, Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) was supposed to kill Scorpion, but he was stopped by the cyber Lin Kuei. Meanwhile, Scorpion took orders from Shao Kahn, and Sub-Zero demanded justice for his brother.

   I love Sub Zero. The Grandmaster card is much better than the Scorpion Hellfire card!

5. Liu Kang

   

   Liu Kang is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Mortal Kombat fighting game series by Midway Games. He was introduced in the original 1992 Mortal Kombat game as one of the seven playable characters. Liu Kang is portrayed as a Shaolin monk who enters the Mortal Kombat tournament to defend... read more

   Liu Kang is the main and chief defender of Earthrealm and the first combatant to win two successive Mortal Kombat tournaments. Scorpion only seeks revenge and nothing else. Cassie defeating Shinnok in a single game doesn't make her worthy of the top 10, and including her makes the list worthless. Liu Kang deserves a higher spot on the list.

6. Cassie Cage

   

   Sergeant Cassie Cage is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. She made her debut in Mortal Kombat X as the headstrong daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade. Cassie later returned as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 11.

   I broke Corrupted Shinnok's nuts about 10 times before I won the battle. Still, I really like her.

   It runs in the Cage family to beat Shinnok. She beat him at the peak of his power. She and Johnny are easy top 3.

   Strong as Shinnok, fast as Kabal, durable like Raiden, and flexible like her parents!

7. Ermac

   

   Ermac is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise developed by Midway Games. He originated from rumors about a diagnostics menu in the original game that displayed the term ERMACS, which some players believed indicated a secret character. Due to fan interest, he was eventually... read more

   He has great combo variations and can surprise the opponent with many things. He can be played both offensively and defensively, which is a plus, in my opinion.

8. Johnny Cage

   

   Johnny Cage is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat video game franchise, which was developed by Midway Games. He first appeared in the original Mortal Kombat game released in 1992. As one of the original seven player characters, Johnny Cage has remained a central figure throughout the series... read more

   The dude beat Shinnok, and he wasn't even at his strongest. Raiden and Fujin both went up against Shinnok and lost. Easy top 3.

   He beat Shinnok and Scorpion and is overpowered. He should be number 1.

   Johnny Cage has many awesome moves and powers.

9. Kotal Kahn

   

   Ko'atal, more commonly known as Kotal Kahn or simply Kotal, is a character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He is a powerful Osh-Tekk warrior who assumed the throne as Emperor of Outworld after the death of Shao Kahn. As ruler, he sought to bring order and stability to the realm.... read more

   Sun God and War God work really well for me - still a ways to go with Blood God, but he's really powerful.

   His moves are so hard-hitting and powerful. He's like a revamped Shao Kahn.

   God. He is a god every single time.

10. Tremor

    

    Definitely the strongest character. There's no reason he should be 12th. His X-ray is one of the most powerful, and his attacks are shockingly strong. I want Tremor moved up to at least third.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Erron Black

    

    Erron Black is a character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He is an Earthrealm-born mercenary who operates in Outworld and formerly belonged to the Black Dragon clan. Erron serves the ruling powers of Outworld, aligning himself with whichever figure holds the throne.... read more

12. ?

    Alien

The Contenders

13. Quan Chi

    

    Quan Chi is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise. First appearing as an original guest character in the 1996 animated series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, he made his canonical debut as a non-playable secondary antagonist in Midway's 1997 action-adventure game Mortal... read more

    Scorpion beheading him was the wrong idea. It should have been vice versa.

    He is the best summoner and necromancer in the entire MK series. How come he is this low? He should be at least top 5.

14. Kenshi

    

    Takahashi Kenshi is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise, originally developed by Midway Games. He debuted in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, released in 2002. Kenshi is a blind swordsman who possesses telekinetic abilities, making him a unique fighter in the series.

    Honestly, he should be higher on this list.

15. Reptile

    

    Reptile is a character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise, created by Ed Boon and John Tobias for Midway Games. He first appeared in the original Mortal Kombat as a hidden opponent. He later became a playable character in subsequent titles and has appeared in related merchandise and media... read more

16. Takeda Takahashi

    

    I think Takeda is the best because he can counter even basic attacks. Whenever he comes with greater attack and health than the other two kombatants in the fight (on the enemy team), you feel confused about whether to fight or not, so I vote for him.

    Takeda is so amazing with incredible combos and comes with a cool fatality.

17. Kitana

    

    Kitana is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat media franchise. She was introduced as a playable character in Mortal Kombat II in 1993. Since her debut, she has appeared in most entries of the video game series and in other media, including the films Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.... read more

    She should definitely be on here. I can beat every player with her.

    Powerful - I could win quite a few matches with her.

    Honestly, she's my favorite character, and I can't beat a game without her!

18. Jason Voorhees

    

    Jason Voorhees is a fictional character from the Friday the 13th horror film series. He first appeared in the original 1980 movie as the young son of the killer, Mrs. Voorhees. Over the course of the series, Jason became the central antagonist, known for wearing a hockey mask.

19. Triborg

    

    He has really cool attacks and, in my opinion, looks the coolest.

    He has an OP move: Chest Saw. I use that every time and win. They just get stuck there.

20. Sonya Blade

    

    Sonya Blade is a video game character from the Mortal Kombat series. She made her debut in the original Mortal Kombat game released in 1992. Added late in development, she became the franchise's first female fighter and has remained an important character throughout the series.... read more

21. Mileena

    

    Mileena is a character from the Mortal Kombat franchise who debuted in Mortal Kombat II. She is a clone of Kitana, created by Shang Tsung using Tarkatan DNA, which gave her the razor-sharp teeth typical of Tarkatans like Baraka. Mileena harbors hatred for Kitana and seeks to destroy her and assume her... read more

    Mileena is a clone of Kitana, created by Shang Tsung's sorcery in his flesh pits for Shao Kahn, using Tarkatan physiology. Vicious and evil, she despises Kitana and feels that it is her own right to rule Edenia as Princess in her place. Her fondest wish is to kill her "sister" and claim her existence for her own. Somewhat of an opportunist, she will make use of any chance to seize power that comes into her hands.

    Mileena, half Edenian, half Tarkatan, has proven that she is a deadly combination of beauty and beast. She has been shown to fight with brute strength rivaling that of a Shokan, if not surpassing it, and has demonstrated incredible agility and acrobatic prowess. In addition, she possesses incredible speed, making her one of the deadliest kombatants in the whole series. Mileena wields a pair of sai and is able to teleport, roll, and bite opponents with her deadly Tarkatan teeth. Because she is Kitana's clone, she is almost equal in strength to her.

22. Leatherface

    

23. Shao Kahn

    

    Shao Kahn is a boss, announcer, and recurring playable character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Introduced in Mortal Kombat II in 1993, he is the primary antagonist of the video game series and its extended franchise.... read more

    The final boss in many games and a feared figure in the MK universe. Should be top 5.

24. D'Vorah

    

    D'Vorah is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series developed by NetherRealm Studios. She made her debut in Mortal Kombat X, which was released in 2015. D'Vorah is a member of the insect-like Kytinn species and serves as a loyal enforcer to rulers of Outworld.

25. Kabal

    

    Kabal is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series, who made his debut in Mortal Kombat 3.

26. Goro

He first appears in the original Mortal Kombat as an unplayable boss character who must be defeated before the player can face the final boss, Shang Tsung.
