Nothing brings a good couple rounds of Mortal Kombat to end like a satisfying fatality. Like bloody exclamation marks, these gory displays of overkill have been grossing us out for 20+ years, with each iteration getting more and more brutal. Mortal Kombat X’s finishers are some of the most insane yet, and this list is a collection of the most outlandish.
10. “Blown Out” – Jacqui Briggs
Jax’s daughter puts her wrist tech to good use.
9. “Conducting Rod” – Raiden
Both silly and unsettling.
8. “Here’s Johnny!” – Johnny Cage
Movie references are always vogue.
7. “T- Wrecks” – Jax
As if he was going to be outdone by his brood.
6. “Head Case” – Kano
The head explosion is one thing, but the disembowelment before it is the real MVP.
5. “Tasty Treat” – Mileena
Girls gotta eat.
4. “Flower Pot” – Kung Lao
Kung Lao is expanding his interior design business.
3. “Mind Games” – Quan Chi
Slow and steady creeps you out.
2. “Selfie” – Cassie Cage
Because millennials cant be trusted with saving the world without talking about it.
1. “Inner Workings” – Ermac
Absolutely gross and equally impressive.
