While Cyrax's normal outfit in Deadly Alliance shows him more robotic than human, his alternate costume shows him to be almost completely human with cybernetic parts in his body, although his "being human again" probably just refers to him regaining his memories and conscience, as he will always have cybernetic implants in his body no matter what, making him a cyborg. Although he stated he was human again after the process Jax and Sonya performed on him, he is clearly still a cyborg in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, giving a plausible explanation as to why he still bleeds oil or "black blood" in the game. His alternate costume depicted him in the same outfit but lacking the front of his mask. Cyrax has separate combos in the Sambo style in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance named Ketchup and Mustard, a reference to this.Ĭyrax's face was first seen in-game during Mortal Kombat Gold. In the development stage of Mortal Kombat 3, Cyrax and Sektor were referred to as " Mustard and Ketchup" before their names were finalized. Initially, fans speculated that Cyrax was a robotic Scorpion, because of the latter's absence from MK3, their similar color schemes, and similar moves that involved spear-like weapon to haul an opponent towards them for a free hit. Also in Mortal Kombat X in a DLC form Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke fuse together to make Triborg ( Cyber Sub-Zero as well). However in Mortal Kombat (2011) Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke (through a free DLC) are also all playable in robotic form. However, they all have returned for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon as individual characters. Smoke was playable as part of a tag-team with Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat: Deception. While Sektor and Cyrax were playable in Mortal Kombat Gold, only Cyrax was playable in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, while Sektor appeared in Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition. Of late, they have only appeared in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon together all in robotic form. Since their appearances in the MK3 series, each character's appearance has evolved independently. He and his robotic counterparts, Sektor and Smoke, began as palette swapped characters to work around technical limitations to increase the number of playable characters. He bleeds oil this time around too, much like in MK Deception and Deadly Alliance, represented by a dark bluish-black/black color. Underneath the robotic shell, reveals Cyrax to have dark skin. His helmet is also almost changed completely, still possessing the crude beak-like appearance. His chest cavity also opens up to reveal an energy core. In the latest Mortal Kombat, Cyrax is given an entire overhaul featuring even more armor plating and visible scratches thanks to graphical improvements as well as green eyes. In Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Cyrax gained a redesign, courtesy of the Special Forces, to feature a new, shining armor, as well as a heartbeat regulator on his chest. After his soul is restored by Kuai Liang, he sacrifices himself to put an end to the Lin Kuei's plans once and for all.Ĭyrax debuted as a palette swap of the cyborg ninja character with a yellow sheen, sporting bright armor and a helmet that slightly protrudes forward to produce a crude beak, and wires-like-hair from the back of his head. In the reset timeline of MK 2011, Cyrax is shown in his pre-cyberized form - a young, brash African male who, despite his loyalty to the Lin Kuei, was vehemently opposed to the cyberization initiative and automated against his will. Cyrax recovered his human soul in the original timeline with the help of Sonya Blade and Jax Briggs, and allied with them from that point onward. Cyrax was designated unit LK-4D4 and, like his counterparts, was assigned to hunt down the renegade former Lin Kuei member Sub-Zero. Making his debut in Mortal Kombat 3, Cyrax was one of three cybernetic ninjas created by the Lin Kuei in an attempt to convert all of its members into unfeeling, cold-hearted, cybernetic assassins, thereby improving their performance and circumventing any possibility of disobedience.
