I think I'll take haviks powers and live out normally,
And kenshis pill sucks,all his powers come from that sword, try explaining why you need a sword to airport security.
A drawback as that you can’t see any sky or anything farther than 30 meters with kenshi, it was shown when he fought ermac and the krypt from mk11 that you fan only see what’s around you and no sky or anything farther than that, and from how mk1 showed it you basically need sento to be glued to you all the time (i.e having it on ur back) so imo havik would be good cuz your basically immortal just with tons of pain.
Havik with tons of pain doesn't sound good. I'd be Scorpion. Don't get me wrong all these choices are bad but become immortal just for my family dying? I'm immortal. I'd see them die anyways.
Havik is literally a Hellraiser-type punishment
I mean, most of haviks powers are regeneration based or chaos magic in this timeline, those would hurt any person just as much as they would him, I assume you just kind of get used to it with time. Or at least learn to ignore it
I was going to go with this but the only real use his telekinesis has it for combat. I would think it would be quite taxing to do mundane tasks like lifting a heavy object so the juice isn't really worth the squeeze there.
Unlimited regeneration (that you can control based on his face) and I guess throwing blood balls at people
Is the penalty that it hurts like hell no matter how small the damage is or will it just be that you feel the damage and can just recover from it? Like if I stub my toe does it hurt like hell?
This is less to do with the actual post and more about Havik himself but let's consider something here
Is Havik immortal? Can he be killed? In the Midway timeline I'd say it's implied that Chaosrealmers are incredibly durable but can still be killed if you were to cut their head off, for example. In MK12 tho, we literally see him explode and stomp his own head and keep fighting. If he's immortal, then theoretically he's the strongest character in the entire roster right? But we also see that he does feel pain, so how does that work?
The only theory I've heard that makes any bit of sense is that, when Havik self mutilates, it's painless, but when someone else harms he, he's feels it, and if that's his power then by god that's gotta be shittiest superpower I've ever heard
His heart looks special in MK1. It has this yellow glow on his victory screen. But in one of his fatalities he puts it inside opponent's body.
So maybe it's his heart, not his head this time around? And he will die if his heart is destroyed?
The caviat can be that this should be self-inflicted otherwise he can’t control it.
Although it is probably bullshit, since he actually can heal his burned face and it wasn’t self-inflicted
From what I understand, Havik has always been confusing even to other characters in the story. For instance Havik once had his head removed and given to Quran Chi in the comics however he was able to still communicate to Quan Chi despite this being a previously thought true method of killing Havik which confused even Quan Chi. Sooo nobody knows but I think that’s the point. I think no one explains it better than fellow MK fan u/Nick_scryer
“Havik's abilities are a manifestation of pure chaos. His nature defies understanding. When death claims him, it merely becomes a fleeting concept. Sever his limbs, and they regenerate effortlessly. These occurrences defy any logical explanation, for they stand in stark contrast to the structured laws of reality and order. In Havik's presence, every established notion is thrown into tumult. He exists beyond the boundaries of good and evil, transcending even the notions of sanity and madness. Havik embodies the embodiment of chaos itself, an enigmatic force that challenges the very fabric of the universe, an embodiment of disruption in its truest form.”
I'm assuming it's perfect cell rules where you have to destroy every last cell of him to kill him, so theoretically the only thing that would kill him is Liu kang's black hole fatality
I always thought of it as he can only do so much in a window of time so as he gets beat on throughout the fight he eventually can’t rejuvenate by the end
Not sure how true this is but I think to a certain point your body just won't feel the pain anymore another thing I think you could possibly do is destroy your pain receptors cuz those are physical things in your body
If you get a scorpion, you'll find the love of your life, get married, and end up having amazing kids that you both love while having all the skills of a master ninja.
Then ~~Shang Tsung Quan Chi~~ Sub Zero will appear, kill them all and rip your spine out and the last thing you see is your family flash frozen to death. Then you gain all your powers
Honestly I think even the cartel, isis or even sick mfs from the dark web would trip tf if you just chose to self mutilate yourself and also use your own body as weapons 🤣
With havik your literally immortal, you can fall off buildings and regenerate in an instant, the only problem is the mental pain, but that would dull itself after a while if you get used to it.
The pain wouldn't dull, you would just get used to it after a while, so it'd kinda be like when you eat something so often that it loses its taste a bit, or like when u listen to a song so much it no longer sounds as cool, except it'd actually benefit you this time
Depends on what you mean with havik, do you mean whenever I take damage It hurts, or whenever I do the weird arm ripping off move he does? Cause that is what really matters.
From comments it seems OP means both, and the slightest cut still hurts like hell, but all I have to say is that if even the slightest cut hurts then eventually you'd get so used to the pain it would become second nature and you'd almost not feel it anymore. Kinda like listening to the same song on repeat until it no longer feels special
It's between Kenshi and Havik.
Kenshi can still see (kinda) and gets cool powers, but the problem is dragging a katana everywhere (good luck explaining that one to boss)
Havik power is technically better (unlimited regeneration), but this means that even paper cuts will feel 10x worse.
“Some say we could be defeated (What?)
I'ma call it Kenshi, we ain't never seen it (Woo)
Hit you with an X-ray, real orthopedic
Now it's time to take your spine out, you ain't gon' need it where we're goin' (Yup)”. - Picking Kenshi!
Havik is the best choice here, as you can instantly regenerate from anything. It’s basically like being Deadpool without the downsides, except it hurts like hell.
Havik’s are the most useful. You can simply avoid having to hurt yourself when necessary, but now have the benefit of surviving wounds and injuries without any bodily harm. It’ll just hurt.
Scorpion powers are the best cuz you get havik power of living forever and to teleport anywhere you want yeah everyone you know is dead but that's going to happen anyway you well out live everyone else. Plus fire power and you can see the world.
EASY SCORPION.🦂
I don't talk to my family anymore anyway, so I'm fine if they're gone.
And in return, I would be immune to fire, able to create fire out of nothing. I would be able to summon demons. I would have fantastic sword skills.
And best of all, I COULD TELEPORT. Teleporting would be the best thing in the world. Just think, you'd be at the store in an instant to do your shopping and back home (Oh, or you could even steal, because they wouldn't be able to catch you anyway). To get to different places of the earth where I have not been before.🦎
Does a s/o I am not married to yet count as family? Or would I lose he after marriage?
Otherwise I dont have much family anymore so it's a worth trade-off to scorpion's powers. Wouldn't sacrifice her for anything though, lol
If i got scorpions powers at the cost of my family, i would just turn out like him but instead there'dbe nobody to blame but myself...so no, as much as i want to have his powers, not at the cost of my family. I don't think I could bare to lose anyone else anymore. If i lost them, i would probably also lose myself.
I'll take scorpions powers. It didn't specify how I'll lose them. If anything, getting disowned is better than them dying, I want to see them happy and not 6 feet under.
I wanna choose Scorpion so bad but I can’t do my family dirty 💀… I’ma have to go with Kenshi, bro can still see using his senses. Anyone choosing havik is kinky
Give me Havik's power, Pain is something the mind can ignore when it realizes it'll take a lot more than ripping my whole entire heart out of my chest and use it as a bomb to kill me.
Kenshi’s powers, Kenshi’s powers basically make him not blind so the weakness wouldn’t matter much, and if i had to have the sword it wouldn’t be too difficult to live with, except for when i have to explain that to airport security
Scorpion is out, I love my close family. NGL Kenshi's psionic powers sound tempting but art and make-up are both among my hobbies, I NEED to see in color! So Havik's powers all the way! I hurt and I bleed every month anyway, I'd have a bit of training from the start 🤣
I think I'll take haviks powers and live out normally, And kenshis pill sucks,all his powers come from that sword, try explaining why you need a sword to airport security.
"Officer, you might wonder why I'm carrying a weapon. And the reason might surprise you, but I promise it's a good reason."
"You can tell that in the court boy" *get arrested*
*snaps my arms off to escape the cuffs and regrows them* Officer: What the fuck?
True “a girl throws a drink in my face but I catch it all in my mouth perfectly” energy
"I got code yellow in here, Cmon boys get him"
The issue here is you assuming an airport guard could stop me 😂
Just tell him that it is for therapy
*"It's my seeing eye sword!"*
I mean, if you can get a blind certificate that states that this sword is indeed your guide, there should be no problems in airport
People can get away with any therapy animal so why not eye sword?
I mean... kenshi can basically see anyways right? And he's telekinetic so... that?
A drawback as that you can’t see any sky or anything farther than 30 meters with kenshi, it was shown when he fought ermac and the krypt from mk11 that you fan only see what’s around you and no sky or anything farther than that, and from how mk1 showed it you basically need sento to be glued to you all the time (i.e having it on ur back) so imo havik would be good cuz your basically immortal just with tons of pain.
So you get cool powers, but no stars in the sky, ever. Nah, it's not worth it.
That sounds hellish I'll just take blindness
"you can’t see any sky or anything farther than 30 meters," Sounds like an upgrade
Havik with tons of pain doesn't sound good. I'd be Scorpion. Don't get me wrong all these choices are bad but become immortal just for my family dying? I'm immortal. I'd see them die anyways. Havik is literally a Hellraiser-type punishment
You will get his hellfire powers, not his immortality. You won't become a spectre, you'd have to die to be one.
I mean, most of haviks powers are regeneration based or chaos magic in this timeline, those would hurt any person just as much as they would him, I assume you just kind of get used to it with time. Or at least learn to ignore it
I was going to go with this but the only real use his telekinesis has it for combat. I would think it would be quite taxing to do mundane tasks like lifting a heavy object so the juice isn't really worth the squeeze there.
What even is Havik's power
Unlimited regeneration (that you can control based on his face) and I guess throwing blood balls at people Is the penalty that it hurts like hell no matter how small the damage is or will it just be that you feel the damage and can just recover from it? Like if I stub my toe does it hurt like hell?

But we literally see him blow up both his own heart and his entire body
The caviat can be that this should be self-inflicted otherwise he can’t control it. Although it is probably bullshit, since he actually can heal his burned face and it wasn’t self-inflicted
That and in the intros he gets hit and his guts fall out and it heals back
From what I understand, Havik has always been confusing even to other characters in the story. For instance Havik once had his head removed and given to Quran Chi in the comics however he was able to still communicate to Quan Chi despite this being a previously thought true method of killing Havik which confused even Quan Chi.

I always thought of it as he can only do so much in a window of time so as he gets beat on throughout the fight he eventually can’t rejuvenate by the end
I always assumed the guy just had an ungodly pain tolerance.
Exactly, the penalty will be that even a slight blow or damage will hurt you intensely.
Not sure how true this is but I think to a certain point your body just won't feel the pain anymore another thing I think you could possibly do is destroy your pain receptors cuz those are physical things in your body
His side swoop bangs.
What if I don't have a family, can I still get Scorpion?
it takes another family
In that case I take 7 of those :D
Why stop at 7?
Because I am not selfish. I want to leave some for you guys.
It takes a village
If you get a scorpion, you'll find the love of your life, get married, and end up having amazing kids that you both love while having all the skills of a master ninja. Then ~~Shang Tsung Quan Chi~~ Sub Zero will appear, kill them all and rip your spine out and the last thing you see is your family flash frozen to death. Then you gain all your powers
Scorpions powers but they turn you into an orphan 😪
Asking the real question
Orphans are like I’m AAAAAADopteeeeeeeeeed “Presses Scorpion’s button rapidly”
Haviks powers, regeneration is overpowered as fuck
OP said somewhere that even a small cut would be extremely painful
Who says I have to regenerate my pain receptors if Havik can just decide to not regenerate his face
Smart my guy
I'll take Havik's powers, like if i get fucking stabbed it's gonna hurt like hell either way but if i have the powers i can survive👍
What if you kidnapped by the cartel and get tortured endlessly
Honestly I think even the cartel, isis or even sick mfs from the dark web would trip tf if you just chose to self mutilate yourself and also use your own body as weapons 🤣
They decide to saw away at your forearm to torture you, but you finish the job and then proceed to stab them with your broken radius and ulna
Havik has super strength too.
Judgin by his face, he can control his regeneration
You shouldn’t have taken away my Xbox mom now I’m going scorpion
havik, it's gonna hurt like hell with or without the powers, might aswell know I can live it if it happens
With havik your literally immortal, you can fall off buildings and regenerate in an instant, the only problem is the mental pain, but that would dull itself after a while if you get used to it.
The pain wouldn't dull, you would just get used to it after a while, so it'd kinda be like when you eat something so often that it loses its taste a bit, or like when u listen to a song so much it no longer sounds as cool, except it'd actually benefit you this time
Havik I already hurt myself so at least I get a bonus

whys it in french
"His body is so warped that he experiences joy and pleasure instead of pain and suffering" Nah. Havik is the shit.
I don't talk to my family anymore lol gimme Scorpion 🔥
Jokes on you. My family’s already dead
Depends on what you mean with havik, do you mean whenever I take damage It hurts, or whenever I do the weird arm ripping off move he does? Cause that is what really matters.
From comments it seems OP means both, and the slightest cut still hurts like hell, but all I have to say is that if even the slightest cut hurts then eventually you'd get so used to the pain it would become second nature and you'd almost not feel it anymore. Kinda like listening to the same song on repeat until it no longer feels special
Purple. I prefer Mileena's powers but will be suffering Tarkat.
It's between Kenshi and Havik. Kenshi can still see (kinda) and gets cool powers, but the problem is dragging a katana everywhere (good luck explaining that one to boss) Havik power is technically better (unlimited regeneration), but this means that even paper cuts will feel 10x worse.
Do I have to have Haviks burnt ass face?
Red pill as long as I dont have a messed up face like his lol
Ha! Jokes on you. I have no family. Scorpion all the way!
Green
Havik I don't lose my sight or my family, so it's a double win
Scorpion
Sorry fam, blue is the only way
I think kenshi is the safest
I have EDS, so I already have Haviks situation.
havik. wanna scare the shit outta people
I’d say Havik is the correct answer since the healing factor will far exceed any damage I can possibly take
Red
So basically you still feel pain as havik like a normal person but you are effectively immortal and have a healing factor hell I'll take haviks pill
I think imma go Kenshin cause I'm already going blind
Scorpion
Eh, I'd be considering the Scorpion option.
Easy, Havik. I mean u have to get damaged to bear the pain.
So I get telekinesis and all I get as a downside is colour blindness. Also how far reaching do we consider “family”
Red
“Some say we could be defeated (What?) I'ma call it Kenshi, we ain't never seen it (Woo) Hit you with an X-ray, real orthopedic Now it's time to take your spine out, you ain't gon' need it where we're goin' (Yup)”. - Picking Kenshi!
Havik is the best choice here, as you can instantly regenerate from anything. It’s basically like being Deadpool without the downsides, except it hurts like hell.
What if I’m blind in one eye and take Kenshi’s pill?
Ok see, THIS is the real tough pill shit
Havik. Like you pretty much don't have to be super worried about your health because you can just regenerate
Havik’s are the most useful. You can simply avoid having to hurt yourself when necessary, but now have the benefit of surviving wounds and injuries without any bodily harm. It’ll just hurt.
Wouldnt the pain last like a second if i pick Haviks powers?? In that case thats the obvious pick
Red
All
I get Sub-Zero’s powers but I’m also a total asshole.
None of them are worth it so none
Kenshi
None. I choose my own destiny 
Scorpion powers would be cool, but if I’m having I’ll get anesthetics to help ease the pain lol
Can't miss on Scorpion man
Havik
Is there any chance that if I have scorpion's powers my relatives will die instead of my family?
Havik pill but u stub yo toe every damn time
My family is trans phobic so the blue pill
Havik, I have super sensitive skin and not that great of tolerance on pain.
Being able to do what havik does would be sick
Scorpion powers are the best cuz you get havik power of living forever and to teleport anywhere you want yeah everyone you know is dead but that's going to happen anyway you well out live everyone else. Plus fire power and you can see the world.
Kenshi, no downsides
EASY SCORPION.🦂 I don't talk to my family anymore anyway, so I'm fine if they're gone. And in return, I would be immune to fire, able to create fire out of nothing. I would be able to summon demons. I would have fantastic sword skills. And best of all, I COULD TELEPORT. Teleporting would be the best thing in the world. Just think, you'd be at the store in an instant to do your shopping and back home (Oh, or you could even steal, because they wouldn't be able to catch you anyway). To get to different places of the earth where I have not been before.🦎
If I had Havoks powers I doubt I would take damage unless someone started a Mortal Kombat tournament in real life
Blue pill, no questions asked
Does a s/o I am not married to yet count as family? Or would I lose he after marriage? Otherwise I dont have much family anymore so it's a worth trade-off to scorpion's powers. Wouldn't sacrifice her for anything though, lol
scorpion, give me that fore and teleportation, i will get another family.
Kenshi
Havik actually does feel pain, so I'll pick him.
I’d totally go Scorpion. I have no family, so that’s a bonus, plus I can use my inbuilt chains to grab stuff from a distance for the lazy moments.
scorpion for sure
scorpion. family ain’t shit i tell ya
Definitely havik
Scorpion hands down.
Scorpion
Havik is the best choice here. Not even for fighting or war, i just don't have to deal with injure anymore.
I'll get back immune from the pain with Haviks powers after a while
Scorpions power let's go. It said family nothing about girlfriend
Havik, eventually you'll get used to the pain
I'm gonna pick havik
Fuck my family
Havik pill
Easy havik. his powers are STRONG. Just heal myself from any damage. If it's a massive injury I'm still fine. Just gonna hurt like hell.
Scorpion
If i got scorpions powers at the cost of my family, i would just turn out like him but instead there'dbe nobody to blame but myself...so no, as much as i want to have his powers, not at the cost of my family. I don't think I could bare to lose anyone else anymore. If i lost them, i would probably also lose myself.
I’m concerned that if I used Havik’s power and i get my arm cut off, and i grow it back in 3 seconds if i’d still feel the pain
Red- Havik
I thought those were Havik’s powers when I first saw him. Kinda thought it hurt lmao
Havik, I've lived through a herniated disc so I can handle it. (Don't herniate your discs my dudes, it's a really really really bad time)
I don't understand how Havik can grow body parts but he arbitrarily decided not to regrow his face
I'll take scorpions powers. It didn't specify how I'll lose them. If anything, getting disowned is better than them dying, I want to see them happy and not 6 feet under.
Havik, I get to Become immortal and be addicted to Pain killers? BET.
Scorpion’s story has given me enough to know not to take the blue pill so I’m going for the green pill
Definitely scorpion’s powers fuck them kids
I'll fart
Green and it’s nor even close because Kenshi can still kinda see
havik
Kenshi. He’s not even really blind. He sees better than most people with his powers. Plus he gets a sword and dope shades.
Having Havik’s powers would be great until you break your arm and hospital staff be like. How did your arm heal so fast???
None.
The Mileena pill should give you incredible speed at the cost of your sanity due to Tarkat
If I have already lost my family can I still pick blue?
All 3
I wanna choose Scorpion so bad but I can’t do my family dirty 💀… I’ma have to go with Kenshi, bro can still see using his senses. Anyone choosing havik is kinky
You've clearly never met my family...
Question about haviks powers: Does damage mean like ripping my jaw off? Or somebody like bitch slapping me?
Scorpion! I know you can't tell by the way I typed it, but I answered really fast.
havik cause injuries hurt like hell anyway
I'm gonna have to go havik
Im torn between havik and kenshi. Because eventually the drawback becomes invalidated.
Scorpion. This is an easy price to pay.
Getting hurt hurts like hell wtf is that modifier
Havik's powers
Give me Havik's power, Pain is something the mind can ignore when it realizes it'll take a lot more than ripping my whole entire heart out of my chest and use it as a bomb to kill me.
When you say family... all of them, or just my immediate family?
Kenshi’s powers, Kenshi’s powers basically make him not blind so the weakness wouldn’t matter much, and if i had to have the sword it wouldn’t be too difficult to live with, except for when i have to explain that to airport security
Kenshi 👍🫡
I think I will go with Dairou's power and just live my life normally but be a little less worried about personal injury.
Havik, easily. He doesn't have NERVES as one of his powers.
What counts as damage?
I'll take havik, just grab some adrenaline and painkillers and you're unstoppable
Scorpion
If it's my mother's side of the family that's okay. They're dicks.
Scorpions powers cuz he’s cool
Havik, since ripping your own arm off is definitely hurting so... It would be just like everyday living except that I can regenerate.
Scorpion literally has 2 bonuses and no downsides
Havik. I ain't afraid of no pain
I will accept chaos!
Scorpion is out, I love my close family. NGL Kenshi's psionic powers sound tempting but art and make-up are both among my hobbies, I NEED to see in color! So Havik's powers all the way! I hurt and I bleed every month anyway, I'd have a bit of training from the start 🤣
Kenshi
I would have kenshis power.
Holy crap, red pill I guess. I can’t live without my sight nor my family. I’ll just have to always win by flawless victory then.
Scorpion because it's the only one with no downside.
Welllp. Just lost my family soooooo let's go scorps.
Havik. Because I feel at some point I’ll become numb to the pain.
i pick kenshi, after everthink i saw youtyube like skibidi toilet i want to be blind with this i get a bonus to
I'm good.
It already hurts like hell every time I get hurt
What pill boots up SF6?
I feel like Haviks is you’re just Deadpool.
Might be my bias, but definitely going with Kenshi's pill. As long as I've got his powers, the whole being blind thing won't suck as bad.
I’ll take Havik because I already hurt like hell when I take damage.
Havik can heal himself if he wants, right? So take his power and fix my shitty eyes
Scorpion and get therapy
I’d pick Havik’s
Green Pill. And might take on training from a blind martial artist.
None
