VIDEO GAMES: Mortal Kombat DLC -- Pinhead [Hellraiser]

My first idea for a downloadable character for MK

Character Name: Pinhead
First Appearance:
Hellraiser (1987)

Origins:
[From Wikipedia]

Pinhead is the leader of the cenobites, formerly human creatures from an extradimensional realm who travel to Earth through the Lament Configuration, and harvest human souls. Depicted as intelligent and articulate, the character was deliberately presented as a departure from the mute or wise-cracking 1980s horror movie villains who preceded him, being based more on Count Dracula. As the series became franchised, his motivations and role in the story have fluctuated, with the character being portrayed as an amoral hedonist, blatantly evil, or an entity detached from human existence and tasked with punishing the wicked.
The character's past, which is alluded to in Hellbound: Hellraiser II, is expanded upon in Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth where it is revealed that Pinhead originated as Elliott Spencer, a captain in the British Expeditionary Force suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and survivor guilt. After having participated in one of the Battles of Flanders, Spencer lost faith in humanity after witnessing its cruelty to itself and lost faith in God, whom he believed had failed humanity.
The disillusioned and jaded Spencer wandered Earth indulging in a
hedonistic lifestyle, turning to the baser methods of gratification for satisfaction and pleasure until finding the Lament Configuration in British India in 1921.




If you have never seen a Hellraiser movie, the series is based on a puzzle box that unleashes the formerly mentioned Cenobites.

The Cenobites love pain, and they gain pleasure from hurting others. For a detailed amount of info,

Now before I offer you MY version of how he would fight in Mortal Kombat, here is the Wikipedia summary. As you can tell, I love Wiki!

Described by Doug Bradley as stronger than Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers, Pinhead is an extremely powerful being, and as such, has several supernatural abilities. His preferred method of attack is by summoning hooks and chains to mutilate victims, often pulling said victims in several directions to tear them apart. These chains are subject to his total mental control and he may direct them at will. The chains may even change shape after having attached to a victim. Pinhead is highly resistant to damage and direct assault, being able to resist both gunshots and futuristic energy weapons. His magic is also used for creating objects out of thin air, teleporting, creating explosions at distances and deceiving opponents with illusions. Pinhead is also familiar with the Occult and magic, with an ability to read minds. He is capable of creating other cenobites from both living and dead victims.
In order to act in the physical world, Pinhead needs to have been purposely summoned through the Lament Configuration, though this in itself is not usually enough for Pinhead to target the puzzle-solver: in Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Pinhead stops the Cenobites from torturing an emotionally traumatised girl who was manipulated into opening the Configuration, remarking “…it is not hands that call us, it is desire…”

^^^^
As you can see, Pinhead has everything necessary to take part in MK. If Freddy Krueger can, so can he. In MK, Pinhead would most definitely be able to teleport like many of the characters already do. Think Noob Saibot, or Scorpion. Also, remember Scorpion's famous move where he shouts "C'mere"? Pinhead can do that times 100. He would be able to pull a chain from many different angles, and also use them for a Fatality.
If you're a fan of Quan Chi, Pinhead would also have some moves similar to his. I think he would be able to lure an opponent in with something, or blast them with a projectile flame attack.

Out of all out of universe characters I'd have had Eric Draven or Darkman.
