![]() ![]() ![]() Kreeya's forces eventually invaded Outworld and liberated Vorpax, capturing Shang Tsung in the process. She had been sent to Outworld in order to discover weaknesses to exploit for its takeover, only to be sent to the cobalt mines following an error (she briefly mentioned deception and self-deception to Taja when she was foolishly searching for her long-dead father in the mines, but no more). In reality, her allegiance was to Queen Kreeya, sovereign of a race of Amazonian warriors, and of whom Vorpax was firstborn. Vorpax's ability to use many sides to her own advantage was only part of her greater mission. Kung Lao and his companions had little faith in her, believing her to be a permanent ally of Outworld. Several times she appeared before Shao Kahn himself and volunteered her services and body to him. She also persuaded the assassin Mileena (who was under the pretty guise of Kitana for a time) to abandon her mission to kill Kung Lao for the Emperor, in order for Shang Tsung to regain the opportunity to kill the monk himself. She murdered an Edenian comrade of Kung Lao and Princess Kitana in an attempt to turn them against each other. She had guided Shang Tsung to the mystical Scorpio, which trapped the soul of the warrior Scorpion within to be released through sorcery. Vorpax's talents set many events of the series in motion, whether for Shang Tsung or her own gain. Trapped by her dependence on Shang Tsung and her inability to leave the mines permanently, Vorpax used everyone she could to what little advantage she had. Shang Tsung also used Vorpax for his physical pleasure (though he seems to admit later that she may have enjoyed it), and she exposed the bitterness of her situation to Kung Lao and his friends during their brief visit to the mines. She was always forced to return, however, lest the Emperor discover the risks they were taking. Since she was not under deadly scrutiny by Shao Kahn as Shang Tsung was, Vorpax could also briefly travel outside the mines to other realms. She had intimate knowledge of hidden recesses within the mines which held forgotten secrets. Vorpax proved herself to be quite useful. Vorpax also sought freedom, and offered her experience to Shang Tsung if he agreed to take her out of the mines with him following the death of Kung Lao. Since all of Outworld had learned of Shang Tsung's defeat at the hands of Kung Lao, the sorcerer was keen to eliminate the young monk, regain the favor of Emperor Kahn, and be freed from the mines. Vorpax greeted Shang Tsung upon his arrival in the cobalt mines, and a reluctant partnership flourished for some time. Her grace and beauty underlie her ability to seduce nearly anyone she wishes to expose their secrets. Nevertheless, Vorpax's main weapon is her demeanor. However, she did not demonstrate any knowledge of powers while outside them until her full purpose was revealed. The cobalt mines, which deaden latent powers, supposedly drained her upon entry. She commands formidable acrobatic martial arts abilities, but no supernatural powers of her own. Vorpax is a beautiful, sly woman acquainted with many secrets of the realms, having been imprisoned within the Cobalt Mines of Shokan years ago for deception of both herself and others. ![]() Also known as Princess Vorpax, she is the daughter of Queen Kreeya, a wise and powerful empress of an ancient race of warrior women known as the Kreeyans. However, the movie improved on these aspects with higher stakes, an interesting backstory, and a healthy dose of R-rated violence.Vorpax is an original character for the television series Mortal Kombat: Conquest, performed by actress Tracy Douglas. The dialog isn't as over-the-top and Scorpion's kunai aren't organic mini-monsters, for instance. In comparison to the 1995 movie and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, 2021's Mortal Kombat subdued many of the franchise's most iconic elements. While not as gory as the rest of Mortal Kombat's fatalities, this flawless victory is the perfect companion to Shang Tsung's iconic line, despite it being easier to miss in the reboot. The last glimmer of light suggests Kung Lao is aware of what's happening until the very end, while Shang Tsung only seems stronger afterward. It also appears to be a painful experience for Shang Tsung, as the green trail that turns Kung Lao into a mummified husk also enters Shang Tsung's mouth forcefully. ![]() Kung Lao's demise is one of Mortal Kombat's most shocking moments, both for the surprising defeat of the fighter and his excruciating death. ![]()
