How come Subzero doesn't have his scar anymore?

Yes, I believe the older one was the original Sub-Zero, who died at the hands of Scorpion, I think.

Scorpion vowed to be the guardian of Sub-Zero's brother to atone what he did.

And then the older one came back as Noob Saibot...I'm not sure how that all works out though. :?
 
In Mortal Kombat Deception, Subzero (the one from MK2 onward) doesn't have his scar anymore. Not eve the blue scar he had in Deadly Alliance. This is especially evident when you use his alternate costume.
 
no his scar is still there in mk da its just6 veery pink fleash colered you must ave missed ie go back.

(ps finaly back from vacation :D )
 
For the confuzed, here are some images showing his scars in different games.




Classic Sub-Zero, no scar


Sub-Zero, blue scar, MK DA


Sub-Zero, no scar visible, Deception

Since it turned blue in MK:DA I suspected his Dragon Medallion to have begun healing him, especially considering how immensely powerful he is for a wise old-timer as he is now. But Sub has never been more badass (I only wish they had kept his slide and ground freeze moves, thank god they're both back in MK:SM, god he rocks in that game)
 
Just to clarify.

There are two Sub-Zero brothers.

Saibot Sub-Zero (EVIL) was the warrior from MK 1 and 2. He dies at the hands of Scorpion and is ressurected in the Netherrealm as Noob Siabot.

Sifu Sub-Zero (GOOD) is the warrior from MK3 through MK:D. He received his scar when he fought Kung Lao in the MK2/SM timeperiod. The scar was healed when he received the ancient armor in Deception.

The original Sub-Zero was only in the first game. Scorpion killed him before the second tournament.
 
Ok, Here we go...
MK1: Sub-zero the elder. He is the older brother of the MK2-MKD Sub-Zero. He is also the star of MK: Mythologies. He killed Scorpion, who as a wraith came back for revenge in MK1 and eventually kills sub-zero the elder. Sub-Zero the elder had a seed of evil in him which was revealed by Raiden in MK: Myths. He dies and is sent to the netherrealm.

MK2: Sub-Zero is back. Scorpion thinks it is the original he had killed in the previous tourniment. He stalks him, but sees him spare the life of an opponent. Knowing the orriginal would never spare an opponent, Scorpion vows to attone for his murder by becoming Sub-Zero the younger's guardian. Over the course of the tourny, it is revealed that the Subby in this tourniment is the younger one.

MK2 part 2: Noob Saibot makes his first appearence. He is a servant of Kahn. Not much is said about him, being a hidden character, but he appears non-the-less.

MK3: Sub-Zero the younger is once again in this game. His scar is said to be from his escape from his clan during the time they started making robots (This is later contradicted by Shaolin Monks, where you give him his scar in a fight). He has no Lin Kieu(SP?) garb, showing him not to be the original.

MK3: Noob-Saibot: Once again he is an assasin. Many theories pop up about him. He is once again Shao Kahn's assasin.

Umk3: Classic Sub-Zero: This was put basically as a filler, and to have Subby get his Cool clothes back.

Mk4: Sub-Zero: He is still the younger. He learns of Shinnoks invasion and accompanie the earthrealm warriors to defend edenia. He wears his brother's old clothes in his honor(the Lin Kuei being disbanded) after finding out his brother's ordeals with Shinnok over the amulet. This is also where we find out who caused Scorps vendetta against Subby.

MK Gold: Noob Saibot: He is reviled to have been working for Shinnok and Quan Chi the whole time. He is there assasin/informant working for them since his death at the hands of Scorpion. It is either here, in mk3 or in mkd that we actually get confirmance that he is the original.

MK Deadly Alliance: Sub-Zero: He appears much older than previously thought. His scar is now blue instead of pink, the most common theory being that his Dragon Medallion is giving him advanced powers, also changing. He reforms the Lin Kuei, and gets an apprentice, Frost. He travels to attack the DA, but is side-tracked when Frost steals the Dragon Medallion and dies.

MK DA: Noob: Not in it, presumably finding Smoke in Kahn's fortress around now.

MK Deception: Sub-Zero: He finds his ancestial armor at Frost's burial site, which also show's that he, Frost, and his brother have ancestors from outworld who also could control the cold. He doesn't do much, the most controversial thing is his scar's dissapearence. The most accepted theory is the Ancestial armor has healed him, and also advanced his powers.

MK D: Noob(Smoke): Noob is now beyond a doubt shown to be the original sub-zero. He is Goro's *slayer*(disprove(?) by the GC version). He reactivates Smoke, his *old friend*, and in his ending he kills his brother Sub-Zero, once again proving beyond a doubt that his is Sub-Zero the Elder.


So, Noob= Original Sub, Sub=Sub we used in MK D.

The Scar Theories: If you skipped down to the end, is the Dragon Medallion has critacally changed Sub-Zero down to his skin, which cause the scar's color to change, and eventually, with the addition of the armor, dissapears.

So, Noob= Original Sub, Sub=Sub we used in MK D.

His ending is a what-if, as someone pointed out once the elder Sub-Zero is now a wraith. Like Scorpion it came with a price - loss of memory. So even though we are told he killed Sub-Zero he wouldn't have remembered about him being his bro.

Second prob with Noob's ending was the younger sub-zero was in hell. Someone on the MK team seems to have forgotten in the last few years that if you are good of soul you can't enter that realm. O.o'

Thirdly, scorpion and sub-zero are normally the two characters that are mostly consistant throughout the series. Except MK3 where Scorps was missed out. Unless they decide to throw Frost in Sub-zero's place, I seriously doubt he won't be knock off the next character list.

Four and lastly, there is the what-if ending of Ashrah. Her ending might not be true, but if it is Noob would have been written off. Then again, her ending is unlikely at least to be carried out 100%. If they do they'd rewrite it so she doesn't have to kill him to escape from hell.
 
I only put that there because even if he didn't know he was his brother, the narrator said it was. That's the only reason i put it there.
 
Just one problem with what you said.

Ok. If Scorpy "vowed to protect" the younger Subby, then why was he about ready to kill Subby in his MK4 ending?
 
It was a What-if ending that never panned out, but like with noob's where he kills sub-zero, it says that subby is noobs little brother.

That all just comes down to how frigging crazy the "what if" endings are. In MK2, Scorpion theoretically finds out about this new Sub-Zero and becomes his guardian to atone for the murder of his older brother. As much as most people have just assumed this actually happened, we have to remember that this only definitely happened, in 100% certainty, if Scorpion won the tournament (which he didn't).

From there, Scorpion's MK4 ending assumes that he didn't win the tournament in MK2 and thus never even knew that the original Sub-Zero had a brother. That ending assumes that he still thinks this is the original Sub-Zero and that, by killing him for good, he will avenge the death of his self and his family. But again, that's really just saying "what if Scorpion didn't know about the new Sub-Zero and killed him anyway".

The problem with both of these endings is that they've never been cleared up beyond the shadow of a doubt, so we still don't know whether or not Scorpion really knows who the current Sub-Zero is. Unfortunately, they didn't clear this up in Shaolin Monks either, and no vow of protection was alluded to.
