While every Mortal Kombat match tests these characters' might, this list will determine who sits on top of the Kombat tower once and for all. This list will also be sticking to playable fighters, so we won't be mentioning powerhouses like the Elder Gods or the One Being. We also won't be looking at and of the DC Comics characters from Mortal Kombat vs. Since we're dealing with the canonical timelines, we won't be including guest fighters like Freddy Krueger or the Predator. In this list, we'll be ranking these Kombatants by a combination of their raw power, fighting skill and what they accomplished in the game's lore. On the next control, hit ENTER, out in the key you want, and again the key you don't want, but that will cause the previous control you configured to leave only the key you want to use instead of two controls. Now, CBR is counting down the strongest Mortal Kombat fighters ever. You have to hit ENTER to edit the control, pick the key you want to use and hit ENTER again and select a second key you won't use. While several later games were less warmly received, NetherRealm Studios successfully gave the legendary Midway Games franchise a new lease on life with 2011's Mortal Kombat and 2015's Mortal Kombat X. When the Mortal Kombat phenomenon was at its peak, the controversial games inspired government hearings and a pair of cult-classic movies.

The franchise has also developed a surprisingly robust, complex backstory with more warring factions and double-crosses than Game of Thrones.

Whether their battles ended in 'Flawless Victories' or gross-out Fatalities, characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Liu Kang became gaming icons thanks to their jaw-dropping, occasionally stomach-churning, fighting moves.

In over a dozen games, a dizzying array of humans, gods, sorcerers, cyborgs, ninjas and cyborg-ninjas have tested their might in brutal fights to the finish. Since the original Mortal Kombat hit arcades in 1992, the fighting game franchise has been built around the fiercest fighters in video game history.
