Ermac from Mortal Kombat in the GA-HQ Video Game Character DB
Ermac is one of the playable characters of the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. This character was rumored to be a secret one in the first Mortal Kombat already when players saw a red Ninja through a graphical bug. In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995), the developers decided to make “Error Macro” a real character with their own moves and back story, he was still just one of the many “palette swaps” in the game. Ermac returned around ten years later in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004) where he had a truly unique design for the first time and an expanded move set based on telekinetic attacks. Like all characters, he also returned in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (2006) and was also a secret boss in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (2005). Ermac returned again in Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) where he got two new designs and moves. His latest playable appearance is in Mortal Kombat X (2015). In Mortal Kombat XI (2019) Ermac is seen dead in the Krypt, however, Shang Tsung is able to use some of his special moves. |
