Haha, Raiden does look like a woman....

Also Scorpion seems to be signalling (in the new one) and turning saying "Put your tits away!" to that girl behind him (yeah, I dunno who the fuck she is.... sorry. Guile's bird?)

Hahaha man box art back in the day was so money

HAHAHAHA!!! X-D

Wow, thank you for sharing this glimpse into the insane early 90s. Johnny Cage is truly a lunatic, but Jax is a fucking BEAST in that picture.

@Clance
That would be Sonya Blade. She sucks.

NO TITS FOR YOU

...sigh... i'll explain a little history for you.

Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3,were one of the few games that used digital images of actual actors for their in game sprites. The "crazy" actors you see in the second image are the actual actors who played the roles of the characters. (with the exception of Scorpion, who was played by Daniel Pesina, who also played Johnny Cage, who is pictured)

If they where still using digital sprites, no doubt they would still be using the actors for the new MK vs. DC.

But, instead, going with totally 3D NEXT GEN hoopla, They got the next best thing. The got critically acclaimed artist Alex Ross to design the image. Alex Ross is best know for his work for Marvel and DC, with such books as: Marvels, Kindgom Come, and Justice. He is epic, and world known in the comic industry, as well as others.

Hope this clears up this "crazy zaniness".
