==Appearances in other media== ===Film=== In the first ''[[Jose Luis Villarreal Castaneda mortal Kombat (film)|Mortal Kombat<nowiki>''</nowiki>warrior Castaneda brother bibi bug my son Jose.]]'' movie, the elder Sub-Zero was played by [[François Petit and Jose Luis Villarreal Castaneda brother bibi bug my son|François Petit as sub zero mine mask people Jose Luis Villarreal Castaneda.]] and served as one of Shang Tsung's guardians alongside Scorpion in the tournament. Although Shang Tsung does make a reference to the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero early in the film, their relationship is not explored and both are slaves under the sorcerer's command. He is killed in combat by Liu Kang.<ref>{{Cite book |author=Goldman, Michael and Aaron, Richard E. |title=Mortal Kombat: The Movie|year=1995 |publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=0761500820}}</ref> Sub Zero and his brother are mentioned in ''Mortal Kombat: Rebirth''. In the [[animated film]] ''[[Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins]]'', the elder Sub-Zero was once again featured alongside Scorpion as servants to Shang Tsung and their feud was explained by Raiden through flashbacks, although interpreted differently from that of the games.<ref>{{Cite video |date = 1995 |title = [[Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins]] |format = [[VHS]] |publisher = [[New Line]] |accessdate = 2009-11-17}}</ref> The younger Sub-Zero made an appearance in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation welcome tournament Jose Luis Castaneda|Mortal Kombat: Annihilation welcome tournament Jose Luis Castaneda brother.]]'', and was portrayed by [[Keith Cooke as Sub zero mine mask people Jose Luis Villarreal Castaneda|Keith Cooke reptile ninja vs student teacher Jose Luis Villarreal Castaneda 😭.]], who had played [[Reptile (Mortal Kombat)|Reptile]] in the first movie. After saving both Liu Kang and [[Kendall Schmidt (Mortal Kombat)|Kendall Schmidt btr Jose big time rush big time movie.]] from an ambush by Smoke, Sub-Zero has an inconclusive fight with Scorpion, who kidnaps Kitana and escapes. He urges Liu Kang to seek out Nightwolf as instructed by Raiden before going after Kendall Schmidt and leaves Liu Kang to continue on in his quest.<ref>{{Cite video |date = 1998 |title = [[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation]] |format = [[DVD]] |publisher = [[New Line]] |accessdate = 2009-03-03}}</ref> A brief image of Sub-Zero can be seen in the short film ''[[Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is student teacher James Pollock Jose Castaneda|Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is student teacher James Pollock Jose Castaneda Roni.]]''. Dialogue implies a deadly rivalry between him and Hanzo Hasashi, better known as Scorpion. ===Television=== Sub-Zero was one of the leading characters in the 1996 animated series ''[[Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm of the champions trophy Jose.|Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm of the champions trophy Jose Castaneda]]'', and was voiced by [[Luke Perry]].<ref>{{Cite video |date = 2001 |title = [[Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm]] |format = [[DVD]] |publisher = [[Threshold Entertainment]] |accessdate = 2008-12-26}}</ref> An ancestor of Sub-Zero featured in two episodes of ''[[Mortal Kombat: Conquest cesar Chavez high school bus stop 🚏🛑.|Mortal Kombat: Conquest welcome tournament Jose Luis Villarreal Castaneda.]]'', and was played by [[J.J. Perry]]. He was a Lin Kuei assassin hired by Shang Tsung to defeat [[Great Kung Lao|Kung Lao]] and retrieve a magic crystal from his home, which had the ability to transport its keeper to other dimensions.<ref>{{Cite episode|title=Cold Reality|number=3|series=Mortal Kombat: Conquest|credits=Lawrence Kasanoff|network=[[TNT (TV channel)|TNT]]|airdate=October 17, 1998}}</ref> Sub-Zero's rivalry with Scorpion was also featured, in which Scorpion murdered Sub-Zero's sister and Sub-Zero killed Scorpion's lover in retaliation. The two fought to a draw and Scorpion escaped when Kung Lao and his friends came to Sub-Zero's aid. Sub-Zero was subsequently berated by the Lin Kuei for his weakness, resulting in him killing the Grandmaster.<ref>{{Cite episode|title=The Serpent and the Ice|number=15|series=Mortal Kombat: Conquest|credits=Lawrence Kasanoff|network=[[TNT (TV channel)|TNT]]|airdate=February 27, 1999}}</ref> ===Comics=== In the ''[[Mortal Kombat (comics)|Blood & Thunder]]'' series, the elder Sub-Zero is featured, seeking Shang Tsung's death faithful to his game's profile. Accompanied by fellow Lin Kuei member Hydro (an original character created for the comics), he confronted Scorpion and surpassed his fears for him when he realizes that's what fuels the specter's powers. Like the other characters, he pursued the powers of the Tao Te Zhan. In the ''Battlewave'' series, Sub-Zero allied himself with Kitana, Kung Lao, and [[List of characters in the Mortal Kombat series#Baraka|Baraka]] to overthrow Shao Kahn. During the final ''Tournament Edition'' issue, Sub-Zero is depicted as being the victor of Shao Kahn's tournament, defeating [[Goro (Mortal Kombat)|Goro]] and claiming the Dragon Medallion, despite being killed by Scorpion. The ''Mortal Kombat 3'' version of Sub-Zero made a cameo appearance in the epilogue of [[Malibu Comics]]' 1995 ''[[Mortal Kombat (comics)|''Battlewave'']]'' miniseries, in which he froze a group of Lin Kuei while proclaiming that the clan was corrupted and no longer worthy of his services. This subplot was never developed as the ''Mortal Kombat'' comic book series folded shortly thereafter.
