The Netherrealm is a harsh place in the mortal combat universe that is reserved for deceased souls or entities that have committed major crimes. It is revealed in the story that no one is able to enter this realm without being able in nature or having a tainted soul. And as we know, there are countless characters in the roster that have corrupt souls, but not all of them are associated with the Netherrealm. That's why in this list, I have assembled the top 5 characters that hail from the Netherrealm by Bloodline, Birthplace, Banishment or Rebirth. You see, their souls are already mine. Shao Khan's payment for Netherrealm's allegiance. No, this was not meant to be. The Earthrealm has lost Raiden. Now so shall you. Number 5. Noob Sybot. The first leader of the Linkquake clan was originally known as Beehun and hence had a fierce rivalry with Scorpion who ended up killing him in the events of the first mortal combat tournament. He was soon resurrected in the Netherrealm by Quan Chi using a sophisticated form of dark magic which provided him with phantom powers. In addition, Noob Sybot's fate is still in mystery after he was swallowed by the Solnato at the end of MK9. However, he's expected to make a return very soon in MK11. Number 4. Deigon. Isn't it obvious? I intend to kill you. What? The prize will be mine, Tevin. I will not risk losing it to you. Despite being originally from Edenia, Deigon spent most of his time in the Netherrealm thanks to his affiliation with Shin-A. His story begins when his father Argus put him along with his brother Tevin in a long sleep until the right time would comfort them to awaken and save the world from Armageddon. However, Deigon was awakened prematurely and that allowed villains like Shin-A to sneak up and manipulate him to join the forces of darkness. To do that, Shin-A convinced him to kill his parents and confront his brother Tevin. The latter eventually defeated him in mortal combat. Number 3. Quan-Xi. Quan-Xi's adventures in the Netherrealm and his associations with its inhabitants made him become the most prominent sorcerer in the game. In fact, it is the reason why the fallen Elder God and the ruler of the Netherrealm Shin-A hand picked him as his main assistant to overtake Earthrealm. A plan that ended up with the downfall of the entire brotherhood of Shadow Clan. Number 2. Shin-A. Your legacy. You poison their hearts with hope. Shin-A is a former Elder God who was imprisoned in the Netherrealm as a punishment for attempting to overthrow his fellow T-80s. In the fiery realm, Shin-A quickly formed the brotherhood of Shadow Alliance along with Quan-Xi and other evil members who helped him take the throne and thus becoming the soul ruler of the Netherrealm. From there, the fallen God began building his so-called army of darkness which he used to launch a full-scale invasion of Earthrealm that was unsuccessful and ended up with his demise at the hands of Raiden. Number 1. Scorpion. Scorpion's real name is Hanzu Hsashi and was born to the Shirwai Rion Ninja Clan in Earthrealm. He earned the nickname Scorpion thanks to his fast and deadly fighting skills which eventually ascended him to become the leader of the clan. When he, his family and his clan were brutally exterminated by the Link-Way, Scorpion's existence became eternal torment. Just like Noob Sibot, he was resurrected in the Netherrealm by the Necromancer Quan-Xi for the sole purpose of avenging his death. However, soon after confronting the Grandmaster of the Link-Way, it was revealed to him that Quan-Xi was the real mastermind behind the extermination of his clan which Hanzu Hsashi did not take very lightly. There are many other characters associated with the Netherrealm that were not mentioned in this list. However, you can let us know in the comment section your own top 5 combatants of the Netherrealm.
