## Biography

After being brought to outworld by a clarkson microwave, Morty is forced to take part in Mortal Kombat battles, having to die and be brought back whenever he loses.

There, he befriends Raiden and Jax, but he realizes that they treat him more as a punching bag than a friend, so when Shao Kahn offers him to join the villains, he takes the kahn up on the offer after having enough abuse from the heroes.

There, he is tought by Scorpion and Sub-Zero how to be a bad guy. As a villain, Morty finds himself being more respected. He also finds himself winning more fights and dying less often. However, when he is shown to still have something of a moral compass by sparing Nightwolf due to how much suffering Native Americans endured to white men., Shang Tsung gets infuriated and attempts to report Morty to Shao Kahn. Shao, however, finds Morty's popularity to be amazing and tells Shang Tsung that he is catching up to his level and that he is considering Morty serve as Shang's successor.

Furious, Shang Tsung challenges Morty to a battle for his throne. Morty manages to put up a fight, forcing Shang Tsung to turn into a Rancor and swallow Morty whole. Unfortunately for Shang, he chokes to death on Morty and explodes. With Shang Tsung dead, Shao Kahn promotes Morty to be his right hand man. Morty thinks for a moment that he is capable of shapeshifting now that he has Shang Tsung's position, but he only craps his pants in making the attempt.

After that, Morty finds himself forced into having to fight Sonya, whom he grew to have feelings for as she is the one hero who showed him any respect. However, he becomes willing to fight her after a tree tricks him by telling him she will love him for beating her. However, he beats her up before the announcer can even say fight, making the battle void.

After which, Morty apologizes to Sonya and decides to quit being a villain, returning to the heroes and preparing to face everybody in the tournament to take down Shao Kahn in hopes of returning home.

### Sonic For Hire

After the channel Morty's show was on went under, Morty was forced into having to hang around in the mortal kombat realm until Sonic and the gang approach him for help with Earthworm Jim being untrustworthy of him. Morty agrees to help after he comes back to life from his recent loss.

Later, Morty is on a computer working on something to help Sonic with Jim there heckling him. While boasting about being better, Jim putting out his blaster and guns down Morty. Realizing what he did, he asks if Morty will recover only for the announcer to tell him that only works in the Mortal Kombat realm. Realizing his mistake, Jim wears Morty's corpse for the rest of the season.

## Fatalities

In order to keep up with the other combatants, Morty develops some finishing moves of his own.

* **Paper Cut**: When first performed, this appeared to be a very weak fatality as it is exactly as it is called with morty taking a piece of paper and cutting his opponent with it. Even Scorpion finds it more annoying than deadly until his whole body suddenly splits in half.
* **Number Crunch**: Morty summons a giant calculator and drops it on his opponent, crushing them. It then automatically inputs "8008135" for laughs.
* **Bored to Death**: For this fatality, Morty starts rambling about a fatality idea he has. He goes on for so long that his opponent grows tired of it and just kills over. Technically speaking, this finisher doesn't actually kill as Jax (the person Morty performs it on) gets right back up after the fight.
* **Rancid Dragon Roll**: After a date with Sonya leaves him sick from a bad dragon roll, Morty vomits up a dragon that incinerates his opponent.
* **Choking Hazard**: The fatality that Morty utilizes (possibly by accident) against Shang Tsung. Upon being swallowed, Morty causes Shang to choke on him until he explodes.
* **Let me show you to your desk!**: Morty's final fatality of the first season. Morty surrounds his opponent with walls and then drops a desk on them.

## Trivia

* In spite of Morty's supposed permadeath in Sonic for Hire season 8, a second season of Morty Kombat is established to be planned, making it unknown if Morty is really dead for good, if he will be brought back for the second season, or if his death in Sonic for Hire will be treated as non-canon with Morty Kombat.
