Hsu Hao is an evil, deceptive Mongolian grappler member of the Red Dragon clan. He infiltrated the Special Forces with the sole purpose of destroying them after he had aided them in destroying the Black Dragon crime clan, the long-time rivals of the Red Dragon who were once all members of the Red Dragon turned traitor.
Instead of a heart, Hsu Hao has a pulsating cybernetic implant that also enhances his strength. He follows orders from his superior, Mavado, with unquestioning obedience.
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Hsu Hao’s superior, Mavado, gave him orders to act as a Chinese Secret Militant for the Special Forces and aid them in completely destroying the Black Dragon clan. Hsu Hao carried out his instructions without question and aided the Special Forces for years until the entire Black Dragon clan were seemingly eradicated, after the presumed death of Jarek. Hsu Hao was called back to the Red Dragon headquarters at Charred Mountain but later received orders from Mavado to stay within the Special Forces HQ. He was then instructed to destroy their underground base and with it, their only means of inter-realm travel. He armed a miniature nuclear weapon and escaped through the portal just before it blew up.
As a result of his betrayal, his former superior at the Special Forces, Jax, who barely escaped with his life, had a score to settle with him. After Mavado captured and imprisoned Kano, Mavado sent Hsu Hao to kill Shang Tsung under orders from Quan Chi. On his way to Shang Tsung’s palace he was cornered and killed when his artificial heart was ripped out by Jax.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Hsu Hao inexplicably returned in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, where he joined the Forces of Darkness in the battle of Armageddon. He fought Kenshi and later when the Pyramid of Argus emerged, he fought Johnny Cage when he only made it half way up the Pyramid. Hsu Hao and Cage then both fell off at the same time. He later died along with many other kombatants.
Power and Abilities
In combat, Hsu Hao’s skills mostly rely on his cybernetic heart, which boosts his strength, in addition to giving him supernatural powers. For example, he could create wind gusts from his hands and creating fireballs from the ground. His heart also allows him to fire a short but powerful laser from his chest. He also has the ability to boost his power to some degree of being able to jump at inhuman heights and having a large enough durability to chase Kenshi all night.
In spite of how good these skills sound, his greatest weapon, in fact, is his manipulative nature that allows him to succeed in his missions that mostly revolve around sabotage. Because he managed to deceive Special Forces for sometime, he was able to destroy many Special Forces bases and most of the time, evade the guards chasing him.
