Respect Tremor (Mortal Kombat)
Tremor is a ninja with the powers and abilities of an earth elemental, working for Kano with the Black Dragon Clan. He first showed up in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, but made his first full playable appearance in Mortal Kombat X, with a previous small cameo playable appearance in Mortal Kombat 9. He's awesome.
Strength
-
Like all Mortal Kombat kharacters, he's shown to be strong enough to easily throw people larger than himself (though, given his stature, the only kombatant to whom the phrase "taller than Tremor" could be applied is Goro. Tremor's huge), break their bones, and more.
-
By encasing his arms in extra layers of stone/crystal/etc., he can increase the force of his blows exponentially.
-
Despite being covered (or perhaps composed of) heavy stone at all times, he is able to move as quickly as anybody else in Mortal Kombat, and could even be described as agile due to his history as a ninja, indicating that he has the immense strength required to be fast under his conditions.
-
He can hit somebody with a crystal so hard that their head flies straight up into the air, despite the foe being hit in the chest.
Durability
-
Standard Mortal Kombat "gets up after things that would kill anybody else" durability.
-
A layer of rock coating his upper body provides him additional protection.
-
Tremor can also coat himself in crystal for extra extra protection.
-
Also molten rock. Hot.
Earth Manipulation
-
Has all the normal earth manipulation abilities-- moving stone, throwing rocks, raising spikes from the ground, etc. etc.
-
However, Tremor's abilities also extend to controlling crystal, various types of metal (though primarily gold) and [lava.] It can be assumed that any abilities he can do with stone (rock blasts, spikes, etc.) can also be done with the other substances.
-
He can create earthquakes large enough to topple an entire army just by touching the ground. Note that the quake was strong enough to knock down hundreds of Shokan and Oni, two of the physically strongest races in the Mortal Kombat universe.
-
His mere arrival makes Kotal Kahn think the building he's in is being leveled.
-
He can turn his arms into stone weapons. He can also do this with lava, crystals, or gold.
-
He has the ability to completely petrify somebody's body, but it seems he can only do it to immobile foes. And then, he can shatter their body.
-
Similarly, he can turn somebody's skin into gold by piercing their skin with it.
-
He can partially crystallize people as well, but it requires hitting them with crystal.
-
He can even delay his earth control, such as setting up small earthquakes to go off a bit later.
-
Has the potential to one day become a full earth elemental, with power rivaling that of gods such as Raiden or Fujin.
