Mortal Kombat: 10 Absolute Worst Characters Ever
2. Hsu Hao
How do you know when a character is so incredibly useless and irredeemable? When they become a joke in the introduction of another fighter. And such was the case with Hsu Hao, whose current claim to fame is being Erron Black's trophy.
Hsu Hao is often cited as the absolute worst Mortal Kombat character, and that's because of his poor design, copy-cat moveset, and shoe-horned background. Seriously though, how was this design not left on the cutting room floor?
NetherRealm wanted to introduce a rival group to the Black Dragon's, so, naturally, the Red Dragon's were created. Hsu Hao was invented to fill the ranks of Red Dragon but he pretty much just made the organisation a bigger joke than it already was.
Hsu Hao's gimmick is a red laser that shoots from his chest. Just like Kano's, but from a different body part.
That's it.
The creators at NetherRealm don't even like Hsu Hao. Which would probably explain why he is now serving as a severed head that Erron Black carries with him before each fight.
Hsu Hao will likely never be seen in Mortal Kombat again, and nobody is going to care.
