8) The Wolfman
I didn’t care much for Benicio Del Toro’s take on horror’s iconic Wolfman character, but his physical appearance would be the most fitting for Mortal Kombat. Earlier, pre-CGI days painted him as a hairy, normal-ish man, but Del Toro’s Wolfman exhibits much more powerful attributes that would be needed when fighting hardened battle veterans.
When Del Toro’s alter-ego goes full mongrel, he’s an unstoppable beast who thirsts for blood with an fierce persistence – much like many other warriors in the Mortal Kombat universe whose sight goes red when entering war.
We all know how werewolves act, so you can probably imagine the Wolfman’s fighting style would be full-force primal. Quick-paced charges would bowl opponents over while dagger-like claws draw blood through a flurry of swipes.
Couple that with fangs that sink in and never let go, and the Wolfman becomes one pesky pet that listens to no master. I don’t even want to imagine the ferociousness of a Wolfman brutality, as he makes a meal out of whatever poor bastard can’t defeat him.
