I was going through a few youtube videos when I found a glacier match. The YouTube comments were talking about how much the entire "Blood Runs Cold" angle took after Mortal Kombat. Glacier, being Sub-Zero; Mortis being Reptile. The debate wondered who Wrath was supposed to be.
But, Mortis isn't Reptile. Here's Mortis:
Pause at 10:35 seconds. You basically have Mortis aside from a real skull head. Die Hard Arcade debuted in 1996, with Mortis debuting shortly thereafter in 1997. Basically, Mortis was a ripoff of whoever this mini-boss was.
What puzzles me is that WCW hired a company to create designs for these Glacier, Wrath and Mortis. How did they not get sued by the video game companies that basically came up with the ideas first?

That looks nothing like Mortis. The only thing they have in common is they're green. That's like saying Mortis is a ripoff of the Incredible Hulk.
Also, Ive always heard the Glacier-Sub Zero reference but never have I heard anyone use Wrath or Mortis in the same reference.

Um...Mortis has the skull shoulderpads; the green guy has skull shoulderpads. The green guy is given a pit fighter style; Mortis was supposed to be a pit fighter.
