What happened between Sub-Zero and Hanzo?

Sub-Zero and Scorpion have a long-running feud. In fact the beginning of the Mortal Kombat franchise, they were members of opposing ninja clans.

As previously mentioned, Sub-Zero killed Scorpion, but Scorpion was resurrected by Quan Chi, with additional superpowers.


The pair battled it out again at a Mortal Kombat tournament in which this time, Scorpion kills Sub-Zero.
