Ranking the 8 Best Brutalities in Mortal Kombat History
Mortal Kombat’s Brutal, Hilarious, and Embarrassing Finishers!
Who doesn’t love the bloody and gory Fatalities in Mortal Kombat? But have you ever experienced the sheer humiliation of a Brutality? These finishers take embarrassment to a whole new level. While rare, they have made a triumphant return in recent games, and for good reason. With Mortal Kombat becoming more combo-heavy, pulling off a Brutality takes skill, confidence, and a touch of sadism. But oh boy, the satisfaction of finishing off your opponent in the most brutal and stylish way possible is worth it.
8 – What Would Mileena Do?
Mileena is known for her bloodthirsty and brutal nature, but Jade has taken a page out of her book with this gruesome Brutality. Using her Pole Vault, Jade jumps onto her opponent’s shoulders and mercilessly stabs them in the head, making sure they stay down for good.
To execute this finisher, you’ll need to rapidly press both punch buttons, watching in delight as Jade balances on her victim before gracefully leaping off and cleaning her dagger. It’s a move that would make Mileena herself proud.
7 – Alien Baby
Remember the terrifying Alien from the movie franchise? Well, it found its way into Mortal Kombat X as DLC, and boy, is it as deadly as ever. In this unique Brutality, the Alien must connect at least one Facehugger to the enemy in the first round and deal the final hit with a Facehugger. As the match ends, the camera zooms in on the enemy pinned down, and a tiny baby alien bursts out of their stomach—a chilling homage to the classic movie scene.
6 – Bad Buzz
Kung Lao is a master of using his razor-sharp hat to finish off opponents with Fatalities, but he’s not afraid to unleash it in a Brutality either. The Bad Buzz finisher is his most well-known and hardest-to-pull-off Brutality.

In this devastating move, Kung Lao puts his hat behind the opponent to cut through their back while pummeling them with his fists. But this time, he takes it a step further by jumping behind the enemy, slicing them in two, and finishing the match. Pulling off this Brutality requires flawless victory—you can’t lose a single round. It’s the perfect way to make your opponent feel completely humiliated.
5 – Spin Me Right Around
Kabal, the sharp-tongued speedster, is a force to be reckoned with in Mortal Kombat. His fighting style involves zipping past enemies at lightning speed and tearing them apart with his hookblades. And he showcases this beautifully in his Spin Me Right Around Brutality.
During Kabal’s Nomad Dash special ability, he spins the enemy around for a few seconds. Instead of following up with a combo starter, in this Brutality, Kabal simply starts celebrating as the foe helplessly spins around until they drop dead. To perform this Brutality, you must have used Nomad Dash at least three times throughout the match—an easy requirement, considering how essential it is for Kabal players.
4 – Ragdoll
Holy smokes, Jax’s Ragdoll Brutality in Mortal Kombat X is no joke. Prepare yourself for one of the most challenging finishers in the game. To pull off this relentless Brutality, Jax swings his opponent over his head multiple times, with each slam getting faster and faster.
As Jax relentlessly slams his unfortunate victim onto the ground, the health bars and HUD vanish, leaving only a pile of bones—proof of just how devastating those metal arms can be. The precise button inputs make this Brutality a formidable challenge, but the sheer satisfaction is worth the effort.
3 – Eye Popping
Picture this: cocky and brash Johnny Cage going toe-to-toe with literal gods in Mortal Kombat. But with his Eye Popping Brutality, he takes the fight to a whole new level by hitting them where it hurts the most—a low blow that causes their eyes to pop out.
The Nut Punch is one of Johnny’s most reliable moves, making enemies think twice about engaging in close combat with the movie star. To unleash the enhanced version of this move and perform the Eye Popping Brutality, you’ll need to use the Nut Punch at least four times throughout the match. Luckily, this Brutality can be executed regardless of Johnny’s chosen variation. It’s one of the easier but oh-so-fun Brutalities to use in Mortal Kombat X.
2 – Let It Grow, Let It Grow
Ah, Mileena, the epitome of violence in the Mortal Kombat franchise. But even this mutant hybrid can show a touch of humor and elegance, as seen in her Let It Grow, Let It Grow Brutality. After performing an amplified version of the Staybscoth ability, Mileena takes the brutality to the next level.
If you quickly press down three times for the final hit, Mileena goes on a cutting spree, slicing her enemy’s skull before planting a seed in their body. After a few seconds, a tiny blue flower sprouts from the enemy’s head—adding a visual flair to this truly savage move. Who knew Mileena had a delicate side?
1 – Tenderizer
Leatherface, famous for his chainsaw, proves that he doesn’t need it to deliver a truly brutal finisher. His Tenderizer Brutality in Mortal Kombat X showcases his menacing hammer in all its bone-crushing glory.
In this lengthy and vicious move, Leatherface mercilessly beats his opponent to the ground multiple times, leaving them in a crumpled and broken heap. The brutality doesn’t rely on gore to demonstrate the pain inflicted—it’s all about the raw power of Leatherface. While difficult to perform, witnessing this Brutality is a chilling reminder that this violent character belongs in the Mortal Kombat universe.
