Explanation

Kung Lao's fatalities in Mortal Kombat primarily utilize his razor-rimmed hat as a lethal weapon. The Spin Ripper involves him spinning and using his hat to slice opponents, while Hat Throw Ripper is his signature move where he throws his hat to decapitate or dismember enemies. Torso Rip and Teleport Slammer are fatalities associated with other characters, not Kung Lao.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Beagle Boys are a group of criminal characters from Duck Tales, with members like Bouncer Beagle, Bigtime Beagle, and Babyface Beagle being canonical characters. Barney Beagle is not a recognized member of the Beagle Boys in the official Duck Tales canon, making him the correct answer for 'not a Beagle Boy.'
