About Hsu Hao

Hsu Hao is a cruelly deceptive Chinese grappler, who posed as a member of China's intelligence services to infiltrate the Special Forces. His sole purpose, however, was to destroy them after he had aided them in destroying Black Dragon crime clan, long-time rivals of Hsu Hao's Red Dragon. Hsu Hao has no heart; instead, he has a pulsating cybernetic implant that also enhances his strength. He follows orders from his superior Mavado with unquestioning obedience.

Storyline

For the events on Earthrealm leading up to ', Hsu Hao was of primordial importance. He destroyed the Outer World Investigation Agency's only means of inter-realm travel with a miniature nuclear weapon, after the Black Dragon was seemingly eradicated, with Kano lost forever, Jarek killed in Edenia, and Kabal killed by Mavado. His former superior at the Special Forces, Jax, had a score to settle with him. Cornered by Jax in Outworld, he was defeated and seemingly killed when his artificial heart was ripped out by the OIA soldier. He is slated to return in ', whether alive or undead remains to be seen....

Trivia

  • Hsu Hao was called Kublai Khan in an early beta of Deadly Alliance. Although it was merely a reference to the ancient Mongol warlord, many took it to be a connection to Shao Kahn.
  • It seemed very unlikely that Hsu Hao would ever appear again. For the most part, Hsu Hao was unpopular with fans. A cryptic message revealed by playing the words uttered by an inhabitant of the Chaosrealm backwards somewhat indicated that Hsu Hao wouldn't return (specifically, the message revealed is "Will Hsu Hao return from the dead? Err.....probably NOT"). However, during the E3 trailer of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon you can see him fighting in the background so he will definitely be featured again.
  • In Konquest Mode in Mortal Kombat: Deception, it is revealed through a side quest that Shujinko introduced Hsu Hao to Mavado (and the Red Dragon).
  • Though he is a Chinese operative and national, Hsu Hao is of Mongolian descent (his MK Koffin Klue in the krypt called him Mongolian Warrior). Mongolians are actually a numerous ethnic minority in China, so this is entirely plausible.
