Mortal Kombatย is a series that has always introduced some interesting Guest Characters to the franchise. The gory fighting game often pulls big-name characters from movies, comic books, and other video game franchises. With the recent announcement of the upcomingย Mortal Kombat Oneย Guest Characters at theย San Diego Comic-Con, the hype for the series is at an all-time high. Choosing Guest Characters like Omni-Man, Homelander, and Peacemaker forย Mortal Kombat Oneย shows thatย NetherRealmย knows its fan base well. This event goes to show thatย Mortal Kombatย has always been picking great characters to add to the series. Here are our picks for the top 10 bestย Mortal Kombatย Guest Characters of all time.

10. The Joker

The Joker is one of the best Mortal Kombat Guest Characters, but is a little overused.

The Joker felt like an obvious addition toย Mortal Kombat.ย Being in many of the series’ other games, it seemed only a matter of time before he would join the popular, gore-filled fighter. However, after so many iterations of the Joker, despite having a great move set, it doesn’t bring the same levels of hype as other characters on this list.

9. Leatherface

Leatherface is one of the best Mortal Kombat Guest Characters for fans of the Texas Chainsaw movies.

Next up, we have Leatherface from the horror movieย The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Coming in as a Guest Character inย Mortal Kombat Xย Leatherface is great to see, but sadly not one of the best design-wise. However, the references to the movies that the Leatherface has and some cool fatalities help the character carve out a niche in the series.

8. Predator

Predator is a strong Guest Character in Mortal Kombat.

Havingย the Predatorย as a Guest Character inย Mortal Kombat is one of the best things for fans of both series. Between his gadgets and traps, the brutal hunter’s gameplay is extremely flashy and fun. Overall, the character feels right at home in the franchise, though honestly, it can feel and look a bit similar to some of Mortal Kombat’sย high-tech robotic characters.

7. Freddy Krueger

Freddy started the Guest Character trend in Mortal Kombat.

Adding horror movie slashers as Guest Characters toย Mortal Kombatย was one of the best moves NetherRealm could make, and Freddy Krueger was there to start it all off. There were many things that could use some polish with the character, especially things like incorporating more references into his kit. However, his awesome fatalities help make up for this, earning him the number-seven spot on this list.

6. Jason Voorhees

Jason is one of the most impactful Guest Characters in Mortal Kombat.

Of course, after adding other famous slashers, Jason was an obvious choice forย Mortal Kombat.ย As far as Guest Characters go, Jason brought some of the best and most impactful attacks toย Mortal Kombat. Scooping up enemies into a vicious bear hug will always be satisfying. Also, Jason’s unique unstoppable mechanic makes the character feel powerful, like in his movies.

5. Kratos

Kratos made a great addition to the MK series.

Kratos from the God of War franchise is one of the best Mortal Kombat Guest Characters and an amazing addition to the game. Mechanically, Kratos feels like a perfect port from God of War to fighting games. Seeing quick time events during some of his moves ties the character together, making him a blast to play.

4. The Terminator

Terminator is a well-designed MK character.

The Terminator is another classic movie Guest Character who makes one of the best jumps from the screen toย Mortal Kombat.ย The character boasts some amazingly impactful gameplay that is highly fitting of theย Terminatorย movies. Plus, his Time Sphere fatality is one of our favorites ofย Mortal Kombat 11.

3. Robocop

Robocop is a fitting character for the MK series in every facet.

Robocop represents all the best things a Guest Character can have inย Mortal Kombat.ย Between his fitting gameplay, fantastic voice lines, cool fatalities, and perfect animations, Robocop is great to play inย Mortal Kombat 11.ย Additionally, seeing Peter Weller reprise his role as Robocop is the perfect cherry on top.

2. Xenomorph

Xenomorph is an amazing Guest Character in Mortal Kombat X.

The Xenomorph’s addition toย Mortal Kombat Xย was a huge surprise, albeit a pleasant one.ย Firstly, all three of its styles inย MK Xย feel great, and each adds a unique element to the character. The Alien’s win screen and fatalities are exceptional references to the classic movies. Furthermore, they are some of the most brutal and creepiest of the series.

Honorable Mentions

The MK1 roster is looking amazing.

For our honorable mentions of the best Mortal Kombat Guest Characters, we have Omni-Man, Homelander, and Peacemaker from the new Mortal Kombat One trailer. Although we haven’t seen them in action yet, just the choices alone make them worthy of mentioning. Hopefully, when we see their gameplay in the future of Mortal Kombat One, it will match the hype and legacy of Omni-Man, Homelander, and Peacemaker.

1. Spawn

Spawn looks amazing as an MK character.

Finally, our pick for the bestย Mortal Kombatย Guest Character would have to be Spawn. Ever sinceย Injustice, I and many others wanted Spawn’s inclusion in the series. Inย Mortal Kombat 11,ย we see that dream become a reality. Between fun gameplay and creative finishers, Spawn is a great choice, even for those who aren’t a fan of the character.
