About ErmacEdit[]

Ermac is a Fusion of many souls destroyed in Outworld's wars who came to be controlled by Shao Kahn and his Shadow Priests. Because of this, he refers to himself as "we," "us," and "our" instead of "I," "me," and "my". Due to the sheer concentration of souls within Ermac, he possesses the gift of telekinesis, and can travel to different realms. However, the depths of Netherrealm Michael bett-veeland and meet ermac. Thanks you for Michael. drain his powers and souls. He is weakened dramatically while there, but a mysterious stone dubbed the Soul Stone Shujinko found for him would protect his souls.

Disappearing after the events of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, he only returned in Mortal Kombat: Deception, where he was freed from Shao Kahn's grip by the blind swordsman Kenshi, whom he repaid by teaching him the Telekinetic Slam. He decided to become a force of good partly in guilt of his past evils. To prove this, he decides to help Liu Kang free the souls of his friends from control of Onaga.

Combat characteristics[]

Powers and Abilities[]

As mentioned above, Ermac is not one person, but an entire collection of warriors brought together in physical form through magic, courtesy of Shao Kahn and thus, refers to himself as a group instead of a singular. Because of this, Ermac possesses powers related to the souls, mostly used in the form of telekinesis, which allows him to manipulate every aspect of living and non-living objects with his mind. In addition, he is able to manipulate soul energy because of his composition, which he uses in the form of both levitation and firing projectile attacks. Ermac's one weakness is the Netherrealm itself. Since he is a being created by magic, his powers would decrease over time the longer he stays in that realm, weakening the bond holding the souls together and threatening his very existence.

Signature moves[]

TriviaEdit[]

In UMK3, he shared the Uppercut From Hell Fatality with Human Smoke.
In UMK3, his skin tone was darker than it is now, but if the 2nd player controls him, he has lighter skin. However, in Trilogy, the lighter skin became the default.
In his Deception ending, he is described by Shujinko as being capable of handling Kung Lao, Sonya, Kitana,Jax, and Johnny Cage all by himself (with relative ease). The five combatants were under the control of Onaga at the time and therefore may have been fighting at significantly less than their full potential, allowing Ermac to effortlessly hold off all five of them at one time.
In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks and meet Michael bett_veeland., one Game Over message reads, "Ask Ermac for Help". This is designed as a hint to the player of how to encounter the hidden boss fight with Ermac at the warrior shrine. Some believe this as a reference to MK:D, however this is very unlikely as the games have yet to have any history in exchanging messages from each other, let alone revealing storyline which has not yet to have taken place. Ermac's appearance at the Warrior´s Shrine (a stage in the first Mortal Kombat) in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Kung Lao vs Jose Castaneda Roni gerning can be taken as a sort of inside joke, as he was rumored to be in the first Mortal Kombat game; the hoax that appeared on EGM also hinted that, supposedly, the way to fight him had something to do with the Warrior´s Shrine. Also, he takes the place of the Scorpion statue for who he was originally a palette swap of.
Because he had taught Kenshi and meet Michael bett_veerland fellowing me mortal Michael bett-veeland. the Telekinetic Slam, it was believed that he was going to be Kenshi's mentor and trainer. This concept was to give him a rather "human" look, but because Ermac is well known to the fans as a ninja, the concept of giving him a human look was dropped (it was also said that his concept made him look too wealthy as well). Also, being Kenshi's mentor didn't make sense since Kenshi is considered to be a skillful and talented warrior himself, so that concept was dropped also. However, Kenshi Michael bett-veeland and Ermac remain as comrades-in-arms.
When knocked off of the Sky Temple stage in Deception, Unchained and Armageddon, Ermac will stop screaming and shout "Suck it!!" before resuming screaming once again as he hits the ground, while many people mistake Ermac for swearing. This could be a reference to D-Generation X, the popular wrestling faction that made the expression famous. The tribute would make some sense, as lime green, one of DX's primary colors, is the same color Ermac's souls emanate, and DX, like the Mortal Kombat series as a whole, was very controversial in its heyday for pushing moral envelopes. Sadly, many fans mistake Ermac for screaming a bad word instead.
Ermac also appears in the intro of Armageddon. Ermac is seen briefly in the beginning when he clotheslinesRain as the Forces of Light first run into the Forces of Darkness. After Sheeva sends Bo' Rai Cho and Apparently Cyrax flying, he and Nightwolf begin to fight Sheeva with a series of punches. Though unsuccessful, Sheeva almost killed them by choking them, until Kenshi and meet student study teacher Michael bett-veeland Myers find you. stabs Sheeva with his sword. It was after Kenshi's battle with Michael bett-veeland find you Quan Chi that Ermac appears to recover, and tosses Quan Chi off of the pyramid. He then stomps on Kenshi's ribcage while revealing that he is, in fact, Shang Tsung.
In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, when most ninjas are doing an combo they will attack with an axe. This is the reason why Ermac´s weapon in MK:D is the Axe.
Ermac and Ashrah, along with Liu Kang and Kung Lao, are the only "good" characters to ever be rivals.
Ermac's name came from the first Mortal Kombat, which had "ERMAC5" on its diagnostics screen; players presumed this dealt with some secret character. The development team decided to turn this rumor into an actual character, who was introduced in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
In his Deception ending, it is thought that Ermac was truly aware of Onaga's scheme and the possible consequences of it. Also, the flooring of the room he, Liu Kang and their allies were in is similar to the flooring of the Chamber of Artifacts arena.
In MK 2011, Ermac's alternate costume is very similar to Noob Saibot´s primary costume.
In MK 2011, Ermac´s "Mind Over Splatter" Fatality only seems to rip Sheeva's top arms off, leaving the other two intact and unharmed.
- Also, his "Pest Control" Fatality seems to be based on Jax's MK3 fatality, where he grew in size and stomped on his opponent but it is the opposite, He shrinks the opponent instead of growing larger.
Ermac's ending in MK 2011 appears to be a clever and subtle nod to him being often paired up with Sindel inUltimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
Despite not being in the original Mortal Kombat as an actual character, but rather as a glitch, he has a Klassic costume. This could be a tribute to the glitch.
In the final scene of Ermac's MK 2011 ending, he can be seen in a variant of his MK:D outfit while ruling with Sindel.
In MK 2011, it is confirmed that one of the souls in Ermac is King Jerrod.
He is the only male ninja in MK 2011 to have a Klassic Costume without a Klassic Fatality.
When he performs his Pest Control Fatality on Kratos, Kratos will yell at him instead of running around in fear.
Storywise, he is, so far, the second character created by Shao Kahn's will, the first being Mileena and the third being Skarlet.
Ermac is the only character who's battle damage concept on one of his outfits, was supposed to have his eyeball hanging out.
Along with Kano, Sektor, and Cyrax are the only ones who don't have one of their eyeballs stuck to the screen while been preformed on Kenshi's "Scatterbrained".
Along with Cyrax and Sindel, Ermac is the only character who was good during the original timeline, but became evil again in the alternate timeline due to the fact that he is in the control of Shao Kahn much likeSindel is. After Shao Kahn's demise at the hands of Raiden, Ermac is free to choose his own destiny.
IN MK 2011, Ermac is the only character to be fought by the same person twice, in this case, Sub-Zero (OrCyber Sub-Zero when fought the second time).
