First off personally I think Scorpion is visually is one the coolest looking characters around period. His design has changed from each Mortal Kombat game since the series went from a 2d side by side fighter to a 3d Fighter series. He has really cool finishing moves and attacks but his most famous of lines are “GET OVER HERE!”(Scorpion Get Over Here.mp3) In which Scorpion Sends out a rope with a tipped Kunai at the end, it impales itself into the victim's chest, allowing Scorpion to pull him or her through the air towards him for a free hit, as well as cause a small bit of damage.
Before he became Scorpion the hell-spawned spectre, he was human named Hanzo Hasash, he had a wife and child, he was apart of the Shirai Ryu Clan until they were murdered along with his entire clan. Now he only seeks revenge as a hell-spawned spectre. Despite the fact that Scorpion has previously allied himself with the forces of evil (when promised either means of resurrection on Earth or the chance to inflict his wrath against those who butchered his clan), he is not inherently evil. In fact, Scorpion has, at times, indirectly assisted the game's protagonists, although his reasons for doing so ultimately serve to benefit his own motives.
I like Scorpion visually and because somewhere deep down in his sould still just want to see his family and clan again and leave peacefully. If you want to know more about him here is his wiki profile. http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpion
