Mortal Kombat Meme Explains Sub-Zero Is Basically Darth Vader

A Mortal Kombat meme posits the original Sub-Zero, who later became Noob Saibot, is essentially the same character as Darth Vader in Star Wars.

According to a new meme, the original Sub-Zero, now known as Noob Saibot, is basically Mortal Kombat’s version of Darth Vader. As many are well aware, Sub-Zero’s backstory in Mortal Kombat lore is rather, let’s say, checkered. The first Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, appeared in the series’ debut entry as a Lin Kuei assassin who followed orders without question and seemed to revel in the violence his role wrought.

The nonstop murder and violence eventually led to Bi-Han’s death at the hands of Scorpion, a victim of the elder Sub-Zero who boasts a wild past himself. But Sub-Zero as a mantle didn’t die with Bi-Han; rather, it was passed down to his younger brother, Kuai Liang – the Sub-Zero of 1993’s Mortal Kombat II and onward. Interestingly, Bi-Han later resurfaced as the black-clad wraith Noob Saibot, following his stint in the Netherrealm and a chance meeting with resurrection expert Quan Chi. Noob Saibot’s tumultuous existence did little to change his outlook on life, though. As such, he’s often portrayed as the embodiment of evil, serving the likes of Shao Kahn on occasion but devoted to none other than himself.

Upon considering the winding path that is Noob Saibot’s backstory, Reddit user Alberto_Watkins15 reposted a Mortal Kombat meme that compares the first Sub-Zero to Darth Vader. The meme notes that both Noob and Darth Vader were legendary warriors who killed women and children out of what they believed to be a necessity. Both were later burned by vengeful warriors, the post continues. Finally, the two reemerged as servants of “powerful dark figure[s]” and proved unrecognizable to those who previously knew them.

The meme, admittedly, needs some work since the killing innocents bit only applies to Sub-Zero in the live-action Mortal Kombat (2021) film. Still, it’s an interesting look at the evolution of two distinct characters who, on occasion, tend to bear a similar overall design.

In terms of the ongoing game series, Noob Saibot most recently appeared on the roster for Mortal Kombat 11, which hit store shelves in Spring 2019. The role of Sub-Zero has evolved in other interesting ways, too. In Mortal Kombat 9 (2011), for instance, Kuai Liang turns into Cyber Sub-Zero, a version of the legacy character that has yet to resurface in any significant manner since then. Of course, anything is possible in the future where Mortal Kombat is concerned, though.
