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.
