Human Smoke was a playable character in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy, originally introduced as an entirely restored Smoke who had at last managed to undo his transformation into a cyborg at the hands of the Lin Kuei. Human Smoke's MKT Ending reduces him to a memory of Smoke's former life and, therefore, a non-canonical "bonus character" within the third tournament's storyline.

Biography
Edit
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3/Mortal Kombat Trilogy: "In his human form, Smoke was a lethal assassin working for the Lin Kuei. But when they decided to automate their ninjas, Smoke is caught in the middle. He became a cyborg assassin, whose human form would exist as a memory forever more."
Signature MovesEdit

- Teleport Punch: Human Smoke teleports behind his opponent, connecting with a punch. He could perform it in the air. This move is also taken directly from Scorpion. (UMK3, MKT)

EndingsEdit
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3: (Non-canonical) "Winning the tournament enables Smoke to escape his artificial body. He then devotes his life to study the fighting skills of his counter part ninjas: Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile. Without warning, Smoke once again vanishes... He retreats into the hidden forest to continue his study, and will remain there until he has perfected the skills of the remaining ninjas and can compete in Mortal Kombat 4.
- Mortal Kombat Trilogy: "Before his transformation into a cybernetic ninja, Smoke was one of the Lin Kuei's finest ninjas. It was during this time that he came to know his greatest ally - Sub-Zero. When the Lin Kuei decided to automate their warriors, the two attempted to escape. While Sub-Zero successfully eluded capture, Smoke did not. He would become a robotic nightmare, his soul trapped inside a living machine. In his human form Smoke was a fierce warrior. In his mechanical body he is even more lethal. But his true form is that of a human, one he'll know again only in dreams."
Character RelationshipsEdit
TriviaEdit
- In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, since Robot Smoke is fully playable, if the "Winner of this round fights Smoke" (205 205) kode is used, instead of fighting Robot Smoke, Human Smoke will be fought on the Lost Portal level.
- In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, he was initially an actual part of the storyline. His ending described that he was able to somehow escape his artificial body, and had entered training in preparation for Mortal Kombat 4. However, Mortal Kombat Trilogy retconned this, and he was then described as being a non-canon character; simply how he remembered himself.
- Performing a Fatality that involves decapitation or dismemberment on Human Smoke in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will result in the palette distorting into a mix of black and gray.
- In the original arcade of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Human Smoke can be seen during the attract mode with a versus screen picture, which is impossible normally because the player can only use him by selecting Robot Smoke, and using a code to turn into Human Smoke. Human Smoke didn't get his own versus screen picture until selectable in Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
- When Human Smoke was created for UMK3, he was simply a gray clone of Scorpion and Ermac with some of their combos.
- Human Smoke's color scheme in UMK3 was grey, but in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, it was more similar to white.
- In Ultimate Mortal Kombat, playing as Human Smoke forces the background to Scislac Busorez and will remain so in all succeeding matches (except bosses) until the player loses and chooses someone else.
- In UMK3, he shared his Uppercut From Hell Fatality with Ermac, as well as Scorpion's Friendship. In Mortal Kombat Trilogy, he was given his own set of Finishers.
- Interestingly, in the Nintendo 64 version of the game, Smoke would use Scorpion's victory pose while performing his Inviso-Possession Fatality.
- Also, the Fatality is slower, and it includes more sound effects, which the CD versions lack of.
