Mortal Kombat 11: 10 Action Hero Guest Characters We Want

10. John Matrix

Colonel John Matrix is the protagonist of the 1985 movie Commando. Played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Matrix is a retired Delta Force soldier who has to rescue his daughter from a group of mercenaries. John Matrix is essentially a one-man army style character, similar to characters like John Rambo from the Rambo franchise.

Schwarzenegger played a variety of iconic action roles, especially during the 1980’s and 1990’s. He is probably most famous for portraying the titular Terminator in the Terminator franchise. With the T-800 Terminator already featuring among the Mortal Kombat 11 roster, John Matrix is the next best pick. Other Schwarzenegger characters such as Conan from Conan the Barbarian and Dutch from Predator could also easily take this spot.

John Matrix would certainly have the most unique gameplay compared to Conan or Dutch, however. Dutch is very similar to Rambo, using both military tactics and a variety of traps to take down his foe. Conan is rather similar to Mortal Kombat’s own Shao Kahn, being a large man wielding a giant sword - similar to Shao Kahn’s Hammer.

Matrix, on the other hand, is much more of a traditional military man, using a variety of over the top guns to take down enemies, giving him a playstyle similar to that of Mortal Kombat’s ‘Special Forces’ characters.
