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 Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, 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 Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, whether alive or undead remains to be seen.
Special Moves
Cyrus Stomp - Hsu Hao jumps into the air and stomps on the opponent's head.
Kahn Klap - Hsu Hao delivers a powerful clap that generates a gust of wind, knocking the opponent over.
Fatality
Laser Slicer - Hsu Hao fires a laser beam from his chest implant that hits the opponent in the waist, slicing them in half. After the torso falls to the floor, the opponent tries to crawl away before collapsing.
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.
A cryptic message revealed by playing the words uttered by an inhabitant of the Chaosrealm backwards somewhat indicate that Hsu Hao won't return (Specifically, the message revealed is "Will Hsu Hao return from the dead? Err.....probably NOT"). However, Hsu Hao is confirmed to appear in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
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. | |
