Smoke debuted in ''[[Mortal Kombat II]]'' as a [[secret character|hidden character]] to fight against. He was often spotted in the [[Living Forest]] stage in which he (along with [[Jade]]) peeked out of the trees. Like [[Reptile]] when he made his first appearance, he was simply a palette-swap of [[Scorpion]] with puffs of smoke surrounding him, but would move extremely fast. He would appear randomly before matches, offering clues that would enable the player to fight him, as Reptile had in the original ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''.

He would appear randomly before matches, offering clues that would enable the player to fight him, as Reptile had in the original ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''.
Smoke would not have his own storyline until he was featured in ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'', where he was once again a hidden character, but accessible to players with the use of a code. In this appearance, he would be a tortured, human soul trapped in the body of a cyborg. His most defining feature is the fact that he constantly seems to emit a smoke or vapor. This, combined with his power to teleport and turn invisible, once made him one of the [[Lin Kuei]]'s top assassins.

*As a cyborg, Smoke's color scheme in ''Mortal Kombat 3'' involves a violet shade of blue (preferably periwinkle and/or indigo) rather than gray. Fans speculated that Smoke is a [[Cyber Sub-Zero|robotic Sub-Zero]] because of their similar color schemes.

**[[John Vogel]] confirmed it is possible the cyborg body used by Smoke during the original timeline is the same one that Cyber Sub-Zero uses in ''MK 2011''.<ref>https://twitter.com/#!/K0MB4T/status/102426764302753792 John Vogel about Cyber Smoke and Cyber Sub-Zero</ref>

***However, Raiden's vision of Cyber Smoke shows him with a body closer to Sektor's. Possibly is a mistake (like Raiden's vision where [[Taven]] appears without his armor fighting Raiden, in that moment, he had it).

*In ''Mortal Kombat II'', Smoke is excessively fast compared to the other characters. This opened him up for sudden attacks if the player was fast enough to stop him.

*Of the three cyborgs, he is also the only one that does not leave shockwaves after being killed on the place where he's being finished. Also when their life is to zero, Cyrax and Sektor are unconsciously in short circuit having shockwaves on their body that can be heard. Smoke hasn't though.

*In Ultimate MK3, Smoke can change into his MKII form at anytime before a round of a match. This could be done by holding the joystick away as well as high punch, high kick, run and block (though in the Sega Genesis version holding away isn't necessary).

*In ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'', his alternate costume shows his body as being fully composed of smoke (in effect, living up to his name). It sparked debate as to whether this outfit was actually Smoke in his human form, or a cybernetic demon form. Information provided on production art from ''Deception'' seems to suggest that it is human; both of Noob-Smoke's appearances are depicted, with the comment that both Ninja Smoke and Robot Smoke have a lot of fans. From a storyline perspective however, it is more likely that this is Smoke's form as a cyber-demon; as Noob-Smoke's alternate bio described Smoke's body being 'reshaped' by his nano-technology.

**Strangely, Noob-Smoke's primary costume in Deception was actually their alternate costume. This was fixed in ''Armageddon''.

*In ''[[Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks]]'', Smoke (still in his human form, the game having been intended to take place during the first two tournaments) challenges the player to complete 5 missions. Doing so will unlock ''Mortal Kombat II''. (Ironically, much to the great ire of fans, this version of the game was the same as the one present in ''Midway Arcade Treasures 2'', where due to a control mapping issue it was impossible to fight Smoke, as hitting Start would only pause the game.)

*His appearance in [[Comic Books|Malibu Comics']] non-canon ''Mortal Kombat'' series was something a source of amusement for fans, as he would randomly shout "Toasty!" while speaking, a reference to ''[[Mortal Kombat II]]'''s means to fight him.

*Smoke has made two appearances in the cartoon, ''Robot Chicken'', both in human form: once, as a sparring partner to Joey Fatone, and another fighting Sub-Zero. Erroneously, Smoke was shown using fire as his main technique. His fatality against Sub-Zero was to tear his heart out, kick his body away, set the organ on the ground, pull out a hockey stick, and smack the heart off screen, parodying ''Mortal Kombat's'' needlessly long and gory fatalities, specifically the ones that relate nothing to the character performing them.

*A secret unplayable character of the game. To fight him, you must fight in the portal stage and perform a uppercut on your opponent until Dan Forden pops up at the bottom right corner and says Toasty. By pressing down & Start, the player would receive a message, and then be transported to Goro's Lair to fight with Smoke. In the Sega Genesis version of the game, you would be transported to a variation of the Portal stage, only it is blue.
