Hsu Hao/Current Timeline

Mortal Kombat X Comic Series
After Raiden changed the timeline by altering events in the past in MK 2011, Hsu Hao and the Red Dragon began terrorizing parts of Earthrealm. In the Mortal Kombat X Comic Series, set several years after Outworld's invasion, Hsu Hao was commanded by Daegon to pursue and kill Kenshi, as the latter had infiltrated the Red Dragon and "betrayed" the clan. With a group of Red Dragon members, he was eventually able to find and defeat Kenshi near the Himalayan Mountains, vowing he would kill Kenshi and his son, Takeda.

However, before he could fulfill his promise, Scorpion arrived to rescue Kenshi and Takeda. After killing one Red Dragon member who attempted to kill Takeda, Scorpion threw his Kunai directly into Hsu Hao's cybernetic heart implant before he could finish off Kenshi. When his body was pulled toward the spectre, Scorpion concentrated Hellfire into his fist and punched Hsu Hao through his skull, killing him. With their commanding officer dead and the rest of the Shirai Ryu arriving to face them, the remaining Red Dragon members retreated.

Trivia

 * Although only appearing for a short time, Hsu Hao was one of the most affected characters when the timeline changed.
 * Because Jax Briggs died in this timeline, Hsu Hao never formed his rivalry with Jax and continued to serve within the ranks of the Red Dragon clan instead of infiltrating the Special Forces.
 * Since Hsu Hao never aided Jax or Sonya Blade to eradicate the Black Dragon as he did in the original timeline, the Black Dragon clan still continues to exist in the new timeline.
 * He became enemies against Scorpion and Kenshi, who he never truly interacted with in the original timeline, instead of Jax and Kabal, who he never meets in the new timeline.
 * Instead of dying due to his cybernetic heart being ripped out of his chest, his head is eviscerated by Hellfire.
 * What fighting style Hsu Hao now uses in this timeline is never shown.
