who is the fire guy in mortal kombat
List of Mortal Kombat characters Blaze originated in Mortal Kombat II as a nameless, distant burning figure on a bridge deep in the background of the Pit II stage, squaring off against a character wearing green and black pants. Fans nicknamed them Torch and Hornbuckle, respectively, and both were palette swaps of Liu Kang.[59] Since they were unable to call him "Torch" for legal reasons (risk of copyright infringement on Marvel character Human Torch), Midway officially named him "Blaze" for his official series debut in Deadly Alliance. [60] Blaze made a cameo appearance in Mortal Kombat X in the background of the Pit stage fighting Rain.
