Scorpion debuted in the original Mortal Kombat arcade game released in 1992, and his spear throw paired with the shouted line “Get over here” became one of gaming’s most quoted catchphrases. Series co-creator Ed Boon provided the original pitched-down voice, and the line returned in nearly every sequel, film and crossover appearance. Arcade players imitated it for decades, and it later spread through YouTube compilations, fighting game tournaments and reaction memes. Its short length and instantly recognizable delivery keep it a staple of gaming meme culture.
