One of her trademark abilities is her ultrasonic, super-loud screaming. Sindel was planned to be in Mortal Kombat 4, but was replaced by Fujin.Ĭombat Characteristics Powers and Abilities īeing an Edenian, Sindel possesses an array of mystical abilities. She resented Jerrod for trading away their powers and believing themselves to be no better than commoners, while falling in love with Shao Kahn's willingness to assert his own dominance and take what was his. Sindel's backstory is retconned in Mortal Kombat 11, revealing that she had been evil all along, with her supposed unwillingness to marry Shao Kahn being a lie that she told to keep the Edenians (and especially Kitana) loyal to her. Sindel was one of the few villainous characters to become heroic in the series. This had to do with the fact that her rule over Edenia made her a target for many other rulers like Shao Kahn, Shinnok, and Onaga. Although Sindel is not one of the main characters in the series, she was involved in a big part of the game. In Mortal Kombat: Deception, creator Ed Boon describes Sindel as a challenging character in more ways than one. She has a natural affinity with aerial magic, as evidenced by her ability to levitate and manipulate sonic waves. She is a distinctly older and more mature character, with flowing grey hair and a regal attitude befitting of her role as Queen of Edenia. Sindel's power appears to be of an inner, ethereal nature in more than one way. She rules the Realm of Edenia alongside her daughter, Princess Kitana.

Despite her menacing appearance, Sindel is kind and benevolent in nature, at least in the original timeline.
