About Noob Saibot

In the Mortal Kombat universe, Noob Saibot is a wraith from the Netherealm, who was the original Sub-Zero and brother to the younger Sub-Zero. He was killed by Scorpion, in revenge for killing him in cold blood. A heartless, cold-blooded assassin, Noob Saibot had to earn his place in the Netherealm and became a deadly force to be reckoned with. In the ending of Mortal Kombat: Deception, it is shown he is willing to kill even his own brother. Again, as seen in Deception, he has partnered with his brother's old ally, Smoke.

Storyline

As the original Sub-Zero

Like his name, clothes, and powers suggested, his character was icy and distant. In all aspects, he was a cold-blooded killer with an utmost dedication to the principles of his clan, and to whoever had paid him to kill. Although essentially neutral, his soul possessed an evil taint brought about by his years as a remorseless killer. Image File history File links Sub-Zero_Bio1. ...

It is unclear how the family line of Sub-Zero came to be part of the Lin Kuei clan, though it is speculated that their family had been a part of the clan for several generations. The Lin Kuei is a fictional faction from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

It is known that the father of Sub-Zero and Sub-Zero's brother (a fourth generation Lin Kuei warrior, and also known as Sub-Zero) was a secret operative for the clan in the United States. He married an American woman and together they had two sons and a daughter. Against the will of their mother, the father took the sons with him to move back to China at a certain time, and as such both brothers became warriors of the Lin Kuei. The mother and the daughter remained in the U.S.

The elder Sub-Zero made his first chronological appearance in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero when the sorcerer Quan Chi hired the Lin Kuei to find an ancient amulet, and he was sent to find the map leading to its location. He did not know that Quan Chi had hired a Japanese ninja, Hanzo Hasashi, for the same task in case Sub-Zero failed. Hasashi and Sub-Zero encountered each other in the map room, where Sub-Zero ripped Hasashi's spine out along with his head, killing him in cold blood after a brief fight. After Sub-Zero delivered the map, Quan Chi made good on a promise to the Lin Kuei Grandmaster; the rival clan of the Shirai Ryu were wiped out. This slaughter, combined with Sub-Zero's merciless execution of Hanzo, fueled Scorpion, the vengeful spectre form of Hanzo, who would later participate in the Mortal Kombat tournaments.

After Sub-Zero delivered the amulet to Shinnok and Quan Chi, he was sent back to retrieve it by Earthrealm's protector, Raiden, who explained to him that the amulet was the key to releasing Shinnok. Sub-Zero stole the amulet from Shinnok and escaped the Netherealm, refusing an offer from Quan Chi to join the Brotherhood of Shadow and worship Shinnok. While in the Netherealm, he was warned by Quan Chi that he was able to enter the Netherealm only because his soul had been tainted with evil; apparently troubled by this, Sub-Zero asked Raiden if it was true. Raiden confirmed Sub-Zero's fears, but informed him that only he could alter his own destiny. Shinnok is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Upon returning to the Lin Kuei headquarters, he learned that he had been invited to the Mortal Kombat tournament; he was also hired to kill the host of the tournament, Shang Tsung, by one of Tsung's wealthy enemies. During this tournament, the elder Sub-Zero faced the murderous spectre of Hanzo Hasashi (still using his Shirai Ryu codename of Scorpion). In a reversal of fate, Scorpion murdered Sub-Zero, burning him to a charred skeleton. It was Sub-Zero's destiny to die at the hand of Scorpion, and his soul was sent to the Netherealm. Shinnok and Quan Chi were now able to recruit the elder Sub-Zero into the Brotherhood of Shadow. There, he became known as Noob Saibot and turned to Quan Chi and the Brotherhood of Shadow. Shang Tsung (last name pronounced sung or soong) is a video game character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

As Noob Saibot

Noob Saibot as he appeared in Mortal Kombat 4

In the Netherealm, Saibot became a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow, the very thing he had resisted becoming whilst alive. In a darkly ironic twist, Noob Saibot would now pledge allegiance and loyalty to Shinnok. One of his first tasks for his new lord would be to observe and report on the events taking place on Earthrealm and Outworld; to this end, he remained in the shadows during the Outworld tournament, faithfully monitoring the situation for the fallen Elder God.

At Shinnok's behest, Saibot aligned himself with Outworld's emperor Shao Kahn during Kahn's invasion of Earth. However, as the tables turned in favor of the Earthrealm warriors, Noob Saibot was ordered to switch allegiances and join the Earthrealm warriors, unknown to Kahn. After Kahn was defeated, Shinnok, sensing his time had come, was freed from the Netherealm with the help of Quan Chi and the traitorous Tanya, and conquered Edenia. Noob Saibot now served his overlord directly. Despite the Elder God's careful planning, Shinnok was once again defeated by Raiden's forces and the Brotherhood of Shadow was disbanded. With Shinnok defeated utterly (Noob Saibot later referred to him as simply "gone"), Saibot returned to the service of the still-weakened Shao Kahn.

A few years later, in the events leading up to Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, he appeared during a battle between the armies of Edenia and the Shokan (led by Kitana and Goro) with the Outworld army (led by Kano).

With Kahn having been thought slain at the hands of the Deadly Alliance, and Shinnok vanquished, Saibot slowly changed from a pawn into a player. Free to pursue his own interests, and uninterested in the affairs concerning the rise of Onaga, he plotted to create his own legion of assassins. While searching Kahn's abandoned fortress, he discovered the inert body of Smoke. Reprogramming the cyborg to remain loyal to him, he reactivated his nanotechnology, and formed plans to create an army of cyber-demons, using Smoke as a template (see Noob-Smoke).

Sometime between the events of Mortal Kombat: Deception and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the pair traveled to the Netherealm but were followed by the younger Sub-Zero. Once they discovered Sub-Zero, they attacked him, but Sareena interfered and together they defeated Noob and Smoke. They fled into the pits of the Netherrealm, but managed to render Sub-Zero unconscious first.

In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Noob Saibot and Smoke fight separately as individual characters, though story-wise they still are a team.

In Armageddon's Konquest mode, Noob and Smoke attacked the Lin Kuei temple in Articka as the first step in forming his army of cyber-demons. Taven, who was in the temple at the time, fended off Smoke and most of the created cyber-demons, and would later defeat Noob and rescue the young Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero informs Taven of the Red Dragon in thanks, and decides to take the opportunity to try to bring his brother back into the light. It remains unknown if he is successful or not. Taven is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

In Noob's ending, with Blaze defeated, he stands alone, engulfed in darkness. From out of the shadows steps his former self, the original Sub-Zero. The two selves fight each other for control of the warrior's body. Both are equally matched, and in the end, they merge into one.

In UMK3 and MKT, the screen goes black before he rips the opponent's head off. (MK, UMK3, MKT, MKM:SZ)

Appearances in other media

Film

In the film Mortal Kombat, the character Noob Saibot (referred to as Sub-Zero) appeared as one of Shang Tsung's guardians and was defeated by Liu Kang in their matchup. In the movie, Kang hurled water at Sub-Zero the instant before the assassin used his freezing power, creating an icicle on which he was impaled. The relationship between Sub-Zero and Scorpion is ignored, apart from Shang Tsung's remark that they are the "Deadliest of enemies, but slaves under my power." Sub-Zero was played by François Petit.

Television

Noob Saibot (played by Sultan Uddin) also appeared in Mortal Kombat: Conquest. In the eponymous episode, Saibot was an imprisoned Outworld warrior mistakenly released by Siro and Taja; Saibot was then recruited by a sorceress to assassinate Kung Lao, a task which he failed. In this incarnation, Saibot was completely black and covered in oil, and able to extrude weapons. At the time of the show's airing, the revelation that Saibot became Sub-Zero had not yet been established; Deception was released years later. Sultan Uddin was the youngest person and first African-American to achieve Master status under Angel Cabales, founder of Cabales Serrada Eskrima. ...

Comics

Both versions of Noob Saibot are simultaneously active in Malibu Comics' short-lived non-canon Mortal Kombat series. These comics ignored older Sub-Zero's inherent evil altogether, as they were released before its first mention in Mortal Kombat Mythologies. Another difference with the known story is that he's portrayed as good while Scorpion is evil in nature. During the Blood & Thunder series, he is faithful to his game's profile on seeking Shang Tsung's death. Accompanied by fellow Lin Kuei Hydro, he confronts Scorpion and surpass his fears for him when he realizes that's what fuels the specter's powers. He is also interested in the powers of the Tao The Zan book for his clan's sake.

In the Battlewave series, Sub-Zero allies himself with Kitana, Kung Lao, and Baraka to overthrow Shao Kahn. He also is the only one capable of defeating Scorpion, Shao Kahn's new general. During the final Tournament Edition issue, Sub-Zero is depicted as being the victor of Shao Kahn's tournament, defeating Goro and claiming the Dragon Medallion, even as he is killed by Scorpion. Goro is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

In Malibu's "Baraka" issue (1995), Noob Saibot appears as a good guy, and offers Baraka his assistance in hunting Scorpion down and saving an infant tarkata (who is considered to be "Outworld's only hope"). In the comics, he's stated to be a watcher of events and the keeper of Outworld's secrets. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Character development

As Sub-Zero

Despite being classed as "neutral" in Mortal Kombat, many fans regarded Scorpion as the "bad guy" and Sub-Zero as the "good guy". They seemed to be depicted in this fashion in John Tobias' original Mortal Kombat comic book. However, in the second official Mortal Kombat collectors' comic, Mortal Kombat II (in actuality released before the game) their story is closer to the game's. Scorpion is seen returning from the dead to protect the second Sub-Zero, in the comic during the latter's fight with Reptile (this parallels Scorpion's in-game Mortal Kombat II ending). Because Sub-Zero killed Scorpion in "cold blood" (as Scorpion often puts it), Scorpion is supposed to be seen as the "good guy" and Sub-Zero as the "bad guy". John Tobias (born August 24, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois) was one of the creators (along with Ed Boon) of the groundbreaking Mortal Kombat fighting game series for Chicago-based Midway. ... Reptile is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

During his time as Sub-Zero, he disliked being called a "ninja." A loyalist, he referred to himself as a "Lin Kuei warrior" and emphasized the difference between the two. According to his Armageddon ending, the Sub-Zero half of Noob Saibot still exists with a body of his own, and he seeks to regain control over their divided soul.

As Noob Saibot

Noob Saibot is actually "Tobias Boon" backwards, named so after the co-creators of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon and John Tobias. It is a commonly held misconception by fans that since John Tobias left Midway Games, the "Saibot" portion of the name had to be removed for legal reasons. Tobias does not own the rights to the name of "Saibot". While the character's name does read simply "Noob" on the lifebar when fighting him alone in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode and in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, this is more than likely the result of the development team splitting up the name Noob-Smoke, and not writing in "Saibot" for purposes of efficiency. Noob is still referred to by the additional name of Saibot in Noob-Smoke's ending, and Ashrah's. He is also clearly stated as Noob Saibot by his brother in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, which was made long after Tobias left, as well as during Armageddon's Konquest mode. Ed Boon, on a G4TV interview Ed Boon (born March 30, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois), along with John Tobias is a co-creator of the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ... John Tobias (born August 24, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois) was one of the creators (along with Ed Boon) of the groundbreaking Mortal Kombat fighting game series for Chicago-based Midway. ... Not to be confused with Ashra. ...

It is widely believed that Noob Saibot's true identity was going to be revealed in Mortal Kombat 4, but since Noob Saibot was replaced in favor of Reiko, his identity as the original Sub-Zero was never revealed until Mortal Kombat: Deception. However, fans from www.mortalkombatonline.com, which was then known as www.mk5.org, caught on to this potential story arc far earlier. Dating back to 1999, veteran fans and long-time contributors of the website spearheaded the notion that Noob Saibot was indeed the deceased brother of Sub-Zero. Though it may only have been a programming decision, the inclusion of the "freeze and shatter" Fatality which belonged to Sub-Zero as one of Noob's fatalities in home versions of Mortal Kombat 4, was among the evidence. The revelation that Noob was indeed the original Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat: Deception was considered a major event in the series, and the long-time proponents of the idea rejoiced.

Gaming information

As Sub-Zero

In the Super Nintendo version of the original MK, one of the lines in Sub-Zero's ending was changed from 'The assassination of Shang Tsung' to 'The destruction of Shang Tsung'. This was of course censorship, given that the words assassin or assassination could not be used to comply with their 'family friendly' policy of the time.

In Mortal Kombat 3, Noob Saibot is not a fully black 'ninja' palette swap, but is actually a completely black version of Kano, because there are no 'ninjas' in that game. He also has absolutely no special moves but uses some of Kano's combos. When Noob wins a round, the announcer says, "Kano shows mercy!" This is an obvious programming glitch. In the Sega Game Gear version, he has Kano's special moves and Eyebeam Fatality. However, in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, due to the return of the ninja characters, he was given "full black ninja" sprites (except for the Sega Saturn version, in which he is again a black version of Kano).

In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, unlike MKII, Noob is found briefly in the Netherealm being chased by Sub-Zero. Kung Lao and Liu Kang witness Noob Saibot attempting to kill Sub-Zero, however he manages to fend him off. As the Shaolin monks prepare to kill the wraith, Sub-Zero orders them to stop, saying he will kill them if they take another step. After stating that Noob Saibot is his brother, he tells them the location of Scorpion, whom the trio were seeking.

Noob Saibot is playable, in a way, in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. In Versus mode, if both players select Sub-Zero, the last player who selected him will play as a variation of Noob Saibot. He is colored black, like the real Noob Saibot, but he has Sub-Zero's frozen forearms and retains all of his younger brother's moves and fatalities.

Trivia

• It is unknown what Noob Saibot thought of his little brother while he lived. In his Deception ending it is stated that Noob, should he still be human, would feel pride for him due to how far he had come (going from someone who lived in Noob's shadow to grandmaster of the Lin Kuei clan), but that now as a wraith, he harbors no feeling towards him.
• Noob Saibot is widely considered a top tier character, if not number one, in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. He, along with Rain, were considered "broken" characters by many fans because of their moves being too powerful. His combos were easy to execute and dealt heavy damage, and his disabler move was very effective if used properly.
• He may still be able to manipulate cold as Noob Saibot, as evidenced by his "freeze and shatter" fatality in Mortal Kombat Gold. However, it is possible the developers only placed the fatality in the game for the sake of giving one extra fatality, leaving the question as to whether he truly can still utilize ice powers unanswered.
• Although he was completely black in the 2D games, his outfit gained elements of blue once the series turned to full 3D. His alt costume also shows him with normal color skin.
• Noob Saibot is one of the few characters to not have a character card on the bonus disc in the Premium Edition of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
• In Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, there was a briefly hinted love interest between Sub-Zero and Sareena. She most likely doesn't yet know that he has become Noob Saibot, and it is unknown if he retains any thoughts of her.
• Noob was part of Jazwares.inc's third wave of Mortal Kombat action figures along with Kano, Johnny Cage, and Reptile released just prior to the holiday season of 2006.
