Stryker was last seen in the Mortal Kombat series as a revenant under the control of Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat X. He has not been a playable character since Mortal Kombat 9 (2011).
Kurtis Stryker, a character introduced in Mortal Kombat 3, is a riot control officer who becomes involved in the Earthrealm’s battles against otherworldly threats. In the original timeline, Stryker didn’t have a significant role and was often considered a lesser-known character. However, in the Mortal Kombat reboot (Mortal Kombat 2011, also known as Mortal Kombat 9), his character was given more depth and a more prominent role in the storyline.
In Mortal Kombat 9, Stryker is one of the Earthrealm warriors who fights against Shao Kahn’s forces. Unfortunately, like many of his allies, he is killed during the events of the game and is subsequently resurrected by the sorcerer Quan Chi to serve as one of his revenants—enslaved souls bound to serve the Netherrealm.
Stryker’s last canonical appearance is in Mortal Kombat X, where he is seen in the story mode as one of Quan Chi’s revenants. He does not play a major role in the game’s plot and is not a playable character. His fate after the events of Mortal Kombat X is not explicitly detailed in the games that follow.
As of the latest game, Mortal Kombat 11, Stryker has not been featured as a playable character, and his status remains uncertain. The game’s story involves time travel and alternate timelines, which brings back various characters from different eras, but Stryker is not among those who make a return. His absence has left fans wondering about his fate and whether he will be reintroduced in future installments of the franchise.
