Sub-Zero

Grandmaster Kuai Liang, also known as Sub-Zero,Kuai Liang is Scorpion in the current Mortal Kombat timeline; his depiction in Death Battle is of his appearance as Sub-Zero prior to Mortal Kombat 1. is one of the main protagonists of the Mortal Kombat series. He appeared in the 77th episode of Death Battle, Sub-Zero VS Glacius, where he fought against Glacius from the Killer Instinct series.
==History==
Kuai Liang grew up alongside his brother, Bi-Han, as members of the Lin Kuei assassins. Bi-Han originally took up the title of "Sub-Zero", as he and his brother were descended from a race of cryomancers. However, a demonic ninja called Scorpion slaughtered Bi-Han, thinking that he was responsible for the death of his entire clan, and Kuai Liang, desiring justice, took up his brother's former mantle. Not only that, he began to realize some of his own clan's wrongdoings, which drove him to defect. Both during his exile and after returning to the clan, Sub-Zero has always come to the aid of Raiden and the heroes of Earthrealm whenever needed. And after defeating the cybernetic Sektor, Sub-Zero became the Lin Kuei's new grandmaster and strived to reform the clan as a force for good. Though to this day, Sub-Zero still clashes with his eternal rival, Scorpion, although no longer as mortal enemies, but as respected allies.
