==Biography==
Hanzo Hasashi is first seen in the movie playing with and talking with his son Satoshi near an anthill. When there head home they realize the entire clan is missing only to be ambushed by members of the Lin Kuei clan so they escape. While looking around Hanzo discovers the entire clan is dead, including his wife. They are then ambushed by members from the Lin Kuei, and so Hanzo fends them off, killing several in the process. Eventually, Sub-Zero (actually Quan Chi in disguise) appears threatening Hanzo to get down or Satoshi dies, he complies but "Sub-Zero" murders Satoshi anyway then murders Hanzo by impaling him on ice. He is then resurrected in the Netherrealm as is being tortured by the demon Moloch.
Hanzo is able to escape and fights his way through several demons and eventually reaches Quan Chi, demanding to speak with him. Scorpion at first tries to kill Quan Chi, but Quan Chi uses his powers by manipulating Hanzo's body and twisting it in all sorts of painful ways. Quan Chi then makes Hanzo an offers to enter the tournament to exact his revenge on Sub-Zero. 
Hanzo agrees, now dubbing himself "Scorpion". After arriving at the tournament Scorpion first attempts to steal the Key to release Shinnok from prison. But then Raiden appears and attempts to persuade Scorpion to not steal the Key. Scorpion tells him he has no choice but to serve Quan Chi but Raiden says that he always had a choice convincing Scorpion to stop.
Scorpion continues participating in the tournament and even helps out the Heroes in fending of Kano's goons. Until he runs into Sub-Zero, Sub-Zero not knowing what's going on tries to walk away but an enraged Scorpion tackles him off a bridge into a spike pit, impaling them both and killing Sub-Zero. 
After that Quan Chi appears and tells Scorpion that he was the person really responsible for the massacre of his clan and family and that Sub-Zero had no part in it. This enrages Scorpion more and he removes himself from the spike and plans to exact his revenge. He is last seen after Liu Kang is nearly defeated by Goro but Scorpion kills Goro with his kunai and saves him.
Shang Tsung attempts to have Scorpion fight Liu Kang, but Scorpion takes Shang Tsung hostage and willingly forfeits his status as a fighter, securing Liu Kang's position as the victor of the tournament. After Shang Tsung retreats to Outworld, the island begins to collapse, Quan Chi is then freed from Shang Tsung tries getting Scorpion to give him the Key, but now that Scorpion knows what he did, he refuses. 
The two then engage in a fight in which after a long intense battle, Scorpion is being able to win and kills Quan Chi, finally avenging Satoshi, Harumi and the Shirai Ryu. He stays on the island content with dying to join his family.

But after the death of the Shirai Ryu clan and Quan Chi's underhanded manipulation tricks, he becomes a much more pessimistic, vengeful, and merciless fighter who wants nothing more than to kill Sub-Zero and later Quan Chi once he discovers the latter was behind the death of his family and clan. After avenged the death of his family clan by brutally killed Quan Chi, he later becoming desperate and blamed himself for his own fault. Later on, Scorpion orders Kuai Liang to not let the Kamidogu fall to the wrong hands.
