During an interview, Boon was asked why Scorpion shouts "Get over here!" when performing his spear move, he replied that he thinks it is just comical for the "tough-guy, hellspawn" Scorpion to say something as random as that. Scorpion's name, "Hanzo Hasashi", may be a possible reference to Hanzō Hattori, a famous samurai and ninja during the Japanese Sengoku period.During the tournament, Scorpion fought Johnny Cage in a forest before teleporting both Cage and himself to his lair in the Netherrealm. Initially, Scorpion had the upper hand, but he was ultimately defeated after Cage found several weapons scattered among the skeletal corpses in the lair and used them to his advantage to win the duel. Yes. Very good, Jubei. Yet you reveal your feelings. In battle, you must sppress them. You show much improvement."

An interaction with Jacqui reveal that she and his pupil Takeda are engaged, where he reveals that through marriage, Jacqui will also be a part of the Shirai Ryu. Even if Scorpion is in his Ninjutsu variation, he will still spawn a sword during his Fatalities in MKX despite him having two swords present. This logically makes no sense as to why he spawns the third sword, but could merely be a gameplay mechanic.Free-Fall Super Move: Scorpion stabs his spear into his opponent's chest, swings them behind him, and throws them to the ground. ( MKvsDCU) Unless you have knowledge of the sorcerer Quan Chi's whereabouts, do not waste my time, stranger."

In most early Mortal Kombat media, due in large part to his sinister and malevolent appearance, Scorpion is typecast in a villainous role. As such, he has had many incursions with the forces of good. However, he is not actually evil. He joins the forces of evil only when promised a means of resurrecting his clan on Earth, or the chance to inflict his wrath against those who butchered them. Although he is featured alongside the Forces of Darkness in the opening scene of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he remains officially neutral because of his fierce hatred for Quan Chi. It wasn't enough to kill me! You had to destroy every last remnant of my being, including my wife and child!" (to the elder Sub-Zero)

Scorpion's Injustice skin redesign would later reappear in Mortal Kombat X as a wearable outfit and in Mortal Kombat Mobile as a playable card. Scorpion's Klassic Card is one of three Scorpion cards where the Spear Special 1 does not stun. The second was his Hellspawn card, which applies a Fire effect and his MK11 Card.However, his MK11 Card's Spear Special 1 can Stun and even cause Cripple, however the Krushing Blow must trigger.

Without our original bloodlines, there is no Shirai Ryu. Our clan's massacre extinguished them! Kronika will revive the true Shirai Ryu in the New Era." When the Elder Sub-Zero died after the first tournament, there was no immediate direct quote or statement, nor was there any strong evidence to prove that Scorpion had in fact done it. Return to Earthrealm. Tell the others we've found him. We'll deploy as soon as I return." (To Sub-Zero)

His head remains a flaming skull as he performs his Brutality Victory Pose, similar to his Toasty! Fatality. ( MK11) Scorpion's Toasty! is the Fatality that has appeared in the most Mortal Kombat games, having appeared in ten games. ( MK, MKII, UMK3, MKT, MK4, MKG, MK:SM, MKvsDCU, MK 2011 and MKX) One of the Trophies/Achievements in Tomb Raider (2013) is titled "Get Over Here!".
