Midway gave Sub-Zero a new appearance and unmasked him to simply give him a new identity and make it clear that there are two Sub-Zeros and that the current Sub-Zero that exists today is the younger brother of the elder Sub-Zero. Since Deadly Alliance , Sub-Zero has appeared far older, while few, if any characters show signs of dramatic aging.
This is possibly due to the amplifications his powers have undergone during the time, as in MK:DA , his arms became frozen over, and his scar turned blue as well as his hair graying. When filming Mortal Kombat 3 , the unmasked Sub-Zero costume was red, as shown in the Mortal Kombat history section featured in Deadly Alliance , due to the photocapture technology used to recolor character sprites.
Since Mortal Kombat 3 , Sub-Zero has had a scar running from his forehead across his right eye, but in the early arcade version of Mortal Kombat 4 and Deadly Alliance , this was forgotten, each time leading to speculations that his older brother had returned. The scar was first featured to be red, only to later change blue as a result of Sub-Zero's enhanced powers. In Mortal Kombat: Deception , his scar seems to have faded to the point where it can no longer be seen.
In Mortal Kombat Armageddon , Sub-Zero's ninja outfit retains the scar, while his alternate outfit, his Deception armor does not, due to re-using models from two different games. In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks , the player witnesses Kung Lao vertically slashing Sub-Zero's face with his hat, resulting in bloodshed and ultimately a scar.
However, very little of Shaolin Monks is considered canon. Sub-Zero no longer has the scar in Mortal Kombat , having not received it in the alternate timeline, though he later receives a similar facial scar after being cut by Kano in the Mortal Kombat X comic. Although Sub-Zero originally had blue eyes, they turned white after obtaining the Dragon Medallion. Renders from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks also give him white eyes.
Official renders from Deadly Alliance also depict him having ice-blue eyes. After the timeline change, he originally features blue eyes, but these later turn white after he is revived by Raiden.
In early versions of Mortal Kombat 4 , Sub-Zero was able to draw a broadsword to use in battle. This same sword was also used by Scorpion in the same game. The second revision of the game changed his weapon to an "Ice Scepter" that could be used both as a club and as a means of freezing opponents. Any character who picked up the Ice Wand if it was dropped could use it to freeze Sub-Zero, though using it twice in succession would freeze the player similar to the behavior of Sub-Zero's freeze move.
This version of ninja Sub-Zero can perform the moves of unmasked Sub-Zero in addition to his own, though not his finishers. While the unmasked version was omitted, his Babality sprite can be seen in Stryker 's Friendship. In Armageddon's Motor Kombat Sub-Zero drives a blue snow mobile with spiked tires and his special is to send an iceball to another driver.
Sub-Zero, in one incarnation or another, is the only character to have been playable in all Mortal Kombat games, with the exception of Mortal Kombat: Special Forces and Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition as well as the only character to have been playable in all of the original mainstream fighting games other characters, such as Scorpion and Raiden , do appear in the updates for Mortal Kombat 3 , but not in the original version.

Kuai Liang. He was later killed in the Outworld invasion, his soul claimed by the Netherrealm sorcerer Quan Chi. Sub-Zero served the demon realm during its subsequent war with Earthrealm.

Ending Sub-Zero defeats Scorpion but spares his life, telling him that neither he, nor his brother were responsible for the massacre of Scorpion's clan.
In exchange for his freedom from the NetherRealm , Scorpion would fight for Shinnok and Quan Chi, a deal that neither of them intended on keeping. Raiden visits Sub-Zero to commend him on his victory in Outworld. With the Lin Kuei now a force for good, the Earth would be protected. He tried to outrun them but there were too many. He decided that his last living action would be to take out as many of them as possible.
As he began his attack, his armor spoke to him and guided his attacks. It strengthened his attacks as he broke their limbs and skulls. A dying tarkatan at his feet managed to utter "Long live the Dragon King.
Sensing, that a deity was born without their consent, the Elder Gods send their champions to find and kill the Lin Kuei Grandmaster.
