User blog:Nkstjoa/Sub-Zero vs. Glacius

Starting off...
While many fighting game combatants have wielded the elements, few are cool enough to wield ice.

Sub-Zero, Mortal Kombat's blue ninja of the Lin Kuei.

Glacius, Killer Instinct's ice-cold morphing alien.

I'm no Wiz or Boomstick, so I'll just look up a few things and try to see if I can come any closer to figuring out who would win... a possible Death Battle.

Sub-Zero_Glacius.png Sub-Zero
''Note: This Sub-Zero is a composite of both the classic and the new timeline. While I will include two special moves and fatalities from MK vs. DCU, his victories over Deathstroke and Batman, as well as his defeats by Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, and Batman, will not count. Lastly, I am unsure as to whether or not I should include an ability from Defenders of the Realm, which I will leave italicized.''

The younger brother of the original Sub-Zero Bi-Han, Kuai Liang, codenamed Tundra, took up his older brother's name and uniform after his demise. While an assassin in the Lin Kuei, his moral consience about the clan's doings, including automation, drove him to defect from the clan.

Both during his exile and after returning to the clan, Sub-Zero has always come to the aid of Raiden and the heroes of Earthrealm whenever needed. After defeating Sektor, Sub-Zero became the Lin Kuei's new grandmaster and strives to reform the clan as a force for good.

Fighting Style
As a descendant of the long-forgotten Cryomancers, Sub-Zero is capable of controlling ice, which he uses in multiple ways:
 * Shotokan
 * ​Karate style
 * Long stances that enable powerful movements and strengthen the legs
 * Strength, power, speed, and efficiency over slow and flowing motions
 * Dragon
 * Shaolin Boxing style

Weapons
In battle, Sub-Zero will sometimes create ice weapons, mainly long sword-like icicles, to slash and stab his adversaries. While they are pretty effective, they tend to break after just a few hits. However, he possesses one ice weapon better than the rest:

Kori Blade

 * Created by freezing water vapor
 * Strong enough to withstand attacks
