The game takes place in a fictional game universe, which consists of several separate worlds created by the Elder Gods. The gods also created a tournament for fighters and named it Mortal Kombat. The heroes of Mortal Kombat must enter the arena and fight each other, thus replacing the wars of the real world.

Heroes Mortal Kombat

The Mortal Kombat trilogy combines all the fighters that were in the previous series, as well as several new heroes. Consider which heroes of the Mortal Kombat game are presented in this part.

1. Goro- A general from the army of Emperor Shao Kahn, who fights for the glory and pride of his people.

2. Johnny Cage- a star of martial arts, who studied with the world's leading masters. Participates in the tournament in order to prove his skills to the whole world.

3. Kano- a fighter from the side of evil with a half-metal face and an artificial eye. His artificial eye is also a weapon.

4. Raiden- the god of thunder, who can fly, spew lightning and teleport. He is immortal, because his tasks are much wider than those of ordinary fighters.

5. Reptile- a kind of mixture of man and lizard. It has a repulsive appearance, but does not lack cunning and strength. Wants to free his own world from Outworld.

6. NoobSaibot- is the eldest of Sub-Zero, who had previously died at the hands of Scorpio and ended up in Unreality. So he was reborn into the demon Nuba (Saibot is the name of the double).

7. Scorpion- one of the most popular characters. A yellow ninja who seeks revenge on his family's killer QuanChi. His nemesis is Sub-Zero Sr., who previously killed Scorpion. Wants to rule the empire with the help of crowds of the dead.

8. Sonya Blade- an employee of the special forces, which was busy pursuing the criminal organization Black Dragon (their leader is Kano). The trail leads her to the island of the sorcerer, where the tournament is held.

9. Shang Tsung- a strong sorcerer whose main abilities are to steal the souls of the strongest warriors in order to turn into their copies.

10. Chameleon- partially iridescent ninja. One of the main fighters of Shao Kahn, who was present at all tournaments, but did not take part in them.

11. Stryker- The leader of the detachment, designed to pacify the riots. After the opening of the portal, he remains the only one alive in the entire multi-million city. Becomes one of the saviors of the Earth.

12. smoke- A cyborg fighter who was programmed to kill Sub-Zero. Prior to that, he was a member of the Lin Kuei clan.

13. Night Wolf- the guardian of culture for his people. Uses his shamanistic magic to protect sacred lands from Outworld.

14. Sector- the hero of Mortal Kombat, which is the first prototype of a cyborg killer, part of the Lin Kuei clan. He is the son of the Grandmaster and was originally programmed to destroy Sub-Zero.

15. Kitana- Princess of Outworld. Having learned about his true origin from the royal family destroyed by evil, he betrays Shao Kahn.

16. Kintaro- The supreme commander of all the forces of the Outworld, created to replace Goro. Has the ability to spew fireballs.

29. Shiva- A female warrior with four arms, belonging to the Shokan race. Assigned by Shao Kahn to be Sindel's bodyguard.

All Mortal Kombat heroes presented above have unique abilities and features. However, some of the groups are quite similar (a simple example: Shao Kahn and his generals).

As you know, history is written by the winners, so my new post about the universe Mortal Kombat I decided to dedicate to the characters of this fighting game series. For almost ten years, there have been about a hundred of them, so I will focus only on some of the main characters, most of which will appear in the new Mortal Kombat, and also say a few words about the factions to which they belong.

Worlds and realities

The first fundamental division that exists in the universe Mortal Kombat, is a division into realities or worlds. However, this was not always the case. Plot Mortal Kombat: Deception says: at the beginning of time there was only The One Being and The Elder Gods. During the conflict between them, the victory turned out to be on the side of the Elder Gods, and the One Essence was divided into six parts, for each of which a special artifact was created - Kamidogu (Kamidogu). According to legend, if all the Kamidogu are united again, then the worlds will merge into one (which actually actually happened in the final Mortal Kombat: Deception).

Outworld (Outworld)

One of the realities, formed during the division of the One Essence, was called the Outer World. Ruled for millennia Dragon King Onaga(Dragon King Onaga). With his iron fist, he conquered and united most of the known worlds. However, when literally one step separated him from the longed-for immortality and omnipotence, Onaga's adviser appeared on the stage - Shao Kahn(Shao Khan). He poisoned the Dragon King and took his place. However, the general line of the party did not change because of this - the warriors of the Outer World continued to annex more and more worlds to the Empire. Until the emperor's gaze fell on the Earth.

Earth (Earthrealm)

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Despite its relatively small size, the Earth has always occupied one of the most important places in the universe of the Elder Gods. The "Pearl of Space", the focus of great powers - it has always been a tasty morsel for invaders from the Outside World.

The god of thunder has been the protector of the earth since ancient times. Raiden(Raiden). It was at his request that the Elder Gods staged the first Mortal Kombat Tournament and decreed that the warriors of Outworld must win ten times in a row. Twice in the history of Mortal Kombat, the entire population of the Earth was destroyed - the first time during the war between Raiden and Shinnok, the second - during the expansion of Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat 3).

Netherrealm

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

The complete opposite of Earth is the Nether, the third reality of the Mortal Kombat universe. This is a world of volcanoes and fiery wastelands, inhabited by evil demons and monsters. If hell exists, then it is in the Lower World. But in the Mortal Kombat universe, the Lower World is also a prison, not only for souls convicted of crimes, but also for villains of a universal scale. At different periods, the Dragon King Onaga and the exiled god Shinnok languished there, the necromancer Quan Chi was hiding and Sub-Zero wandered.

Edenia

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Where there is hell, there must be heaven. And it's called Edenia. For thousands of years, this blessed place has been home to millions of Edenians and flourished under the guidance of a wise queen. Sindel(Sindel) and her daughters the princess Kitans(Kitana). However, all this came to an end when Shao Kahn came to Edenia.

Ten thousand years ago, the fighters of Edenia lost ten tournaments in a row, and Shao Kahn gained power over this world. By killing the king Jerrod(Jerrod), he forced Sindel to become his wife, and named Kitana his adopted daughter. God Protector of Edenia Argus(Argus) failed to protect his world, however his wife Delia(Delia) - a sorceress and seer - prophesied that the Mortal Kombat tournaments and Shao Kahn's conquests would eventually lead to Armageddon. She put her sons Taiven and Daegon into a magical sleep so that they could prevent the end of the world in the distant future.

World of Order (Orderrealm) and World of Chaos (Chaosrealm)

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Two more Mortal Kombat worlds are mentioned in the games only indirectly - as the birthplace of some fighters, for example, Hotaru(Hotaru) or Darrius(Darius). As the name implies, one of the realities is the embodiment of order and correctness, while the other is the domain of chaos and anarchy.

Selected factions and characters

Elder gods

Lords of fate and arbiters of history - Elder gods - the most ancient and powerful force in Mortal Kombat. It was they who divided the universe into separate realities and established the Mortal Kombat tournament. Unlike lesser gods such as Raiden or Fujin, Elder gods are rarely mere mortals. Huge shadows, ghostly faces, and even a flaming dragon, which became the Mortal Kombat logo, are all the faces of the Elder Gods.

Only once did the Elder Gods directly intervene in the ongoing events - during the period of Mortal Kombat: Deception, they recognized Scorpion as their Champion, and entrusted him with the mission of destroying the resurrected Dragon King Onaga.

Shinnok

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Age: Immortal

Race: the God

Reality: lower world

Reality: Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

The god of thunder and protector of the Earth Raiden is one of the main characters of the Mortal Kombat series. It was at his request that the Elder Gods ordered the Mortal Kombat tournaments to be held.

For the first time, Raiden had to defend his world long before the war with Shao Kahn, when the apostate god Shinnok attacked his world. With the support of the Elder Gods, Raiden won, but life on the planet was almost destroyed. Shinnok was imprisoned in the Lower World, and his amulet was buried in a temple in the mountains of Nepal under the protection of four minor gods - wind, water, fire and earth.

Time after time, Raiden helped the warriors of the Earth and defended his world from the invaders. When Shao Kahn's army nevertheless invaded the Earth (Mortal Kombat 3), Raiden abandoned his strength and divine essence and entered into battle with the enemies in his mortal incarnation. Such valor could not go unnoticed - the god of thunder who won the victory received a ticket to the pantheon of the Elder Gods. However, when the exiled god Shinnok and the necromancer Quan Chi teamed up to take over the Earth, and the Elder Gods refused to help, Raiden again renounced his status, and, enlisting the support of his old enemy Shang Tsung, went to Outworld to fight the forces evil. And finally, in the fight with Emperor Onaga, Raiden sacrificed himself, putting all his divine power into a crushing blow. However, the Dragon King turned out to be “raide-resistant”, but the God of Thunder successfully glued the fins together in order to be reborn on Earth once again. However, the past was not in vain, and Raiden, frankly, went a little crazy - he tried to kill Shujinko, the last hope of defeating Onaga, and then resurrected Liu Kang, who had died earlier, as a zombie. Finally, before the fight with Taiven, Raiden entered into an agreement with Shao Kahn and promised him help in capturing all the other worlds of the universe, except for the Earth.

The moment of enlightenment happens only before his death at the hands of Shao Kahn. Using Shinnok's amulet, the god of thunder sends a mental warning message to himself in the past in an attempt to change history. What comes out of this can be found in Mortal Kombat 2011. Raiden also created the "White Lotus" (White Lotus Society) - a community that included many of the defenders of the Earth.

Fujin

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Age: Immortal

Race: the God

Reality: Earth

Reality: Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Playable character: Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Mortal Kombat 4 , Mortal Kombat Gold, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

NPC: Mortal Kombat 2011

The god of the wind and Raiden's longtime assistant, Fujin has long been one of Shinnok's Amulet's guards. In his Mortal Kombat: Armageddon ending, Fujin defeats Blaze, after which his strength increases many times, and creates new worlds from the fragments of the universe destroyed by Shao Kahn.

"White Lotus" (White Lotus Society)

Liu Kang

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Age: 24 years old (at the time of MK1)

Race: Human (zombies in Mortal Kombat: Deception and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon)

Reality: Earth

NPC: Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance

Liu Kang is one of the central characters of the Mortal Kombat series, a Shaolin monk and champion of the Earth, who has saved her from death more than once. Orphaned at an early age, Liu Kang was raised in the Shaolin Temple in China. Almost from birth, the monks trained him in the technique of the Great Kung Lao - the first champion of the Earth. The young warrior eventually achieved outstanding success in the study of martial arts and attracted the attention of the god Raiden, who chose him as one of the representatives of the Earth in the Mortal Kombat tournament.

Liu Kang lived up to Raiden's hopes and became the champion of the tournament, defeating Shang Cong and Goro. He also accompanied the god of thunder in the outside world during the events of Mortal Kombat II, and then, after returning to Earth, founded a new school of Shaolin, where he began to raise and educate a new generation of warrior monks.

Until Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Liu Kang did not know defeat. And only a vile attack from the Deadly Alliance of Quan Chi and Shang Tsung put an end to his glorious history. However, even after the death of Liu Kang, it was not destined to find peace. Like the souls of other fighters who were defeated by the hands of Shang Tsung, his soul was absorbed by the sorcerer, and after his death turned into a free spirit. And the body buried on Earth was resurrected by Raiden as a zombie. Only in the finale of Mortal Kombat: Deception, the spirit and body of Liu Kang reunited again, largely thanks to the Edenian princess Kitana, with whom Liu Kang had a very warm relationship.

In the finale of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Liu Kang defeats Blaze first, and then Raiden himself. After that, he takes the place of the god of thunder and himself becomes the guardian of the Earth. However, this ending is not canon.

Kung Lao

Factions and heroes of the Mortal Kombat universe

Age: 24 years old (at the time of MK II)

Race: Human

Reality: Earth

Reality: Mortal Kombat II

Playable character: Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat Gold, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Mortal Kombat

NPC: Mortal Kombat Deception

Another Shaolin monk Kung Lao is a friend of Liu Kang and the last heir of the Great Kung Lao, the first Champion of the Earth. He was originally supposed to represent the Earth instead of Liu Kang, who was chosen after Kung Lao declined.

Until Mortal Kombat 3, Kung Lao supported Liu Kang, however, in the battle with Shao Kahn, he was very seriously injured, and his friends believed that he died.

After the invasion of the Outworld army was repulsed, Kung Lao decided not to return to Earth. He fought against Shinnok's forces, and then it was he who informed Raiden of the death of Liu Kang and the creation of the "Deadly Alliance" of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi.

Kung Lao vowed to avenge his friend's murder. To do this, he trained for some time under the guidance of martial artist and teacher Liu Kang Bo'Rai Cho.

Despite the fact that Kung Lao teamed up with Princess Kitana to fight Quan Chi and Shang Tsung, both warriors of light were defeated and died. Subsequently, Kong Lao was resurrected by the Dragon King Onaga and became his faithful slave, but was freed by the spirit of Liu Kang.

Decades before the events of Mortal Kombat: Deception, a young warrior named Shujinko received a messenger from the Elder Gods, Damasha. He brought a great mission - to find and collect together six Kamidogu artifacts, each of which symbolized one of the existing realities. He also endowed Shujinko with the ability to adopt the fighting styles of those he meets along the way. And finally, aged, but having gained great strength, Shujinko managed to collect all the Kamidogu and unite them in the Nexus - a place between the worlds. However, it turned out that the spirit of Damashu that appeared to him was not the messenger of the Elder gods, but the first emperor of the Outworld, Onaga. Realizing his mistake, Shujinko, who by that time had become the strongest warrior in the universe, challenged the Dragon King to a duel and won, thus putting an end to his conquests. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Shujinko defeats Blaze, but after that, he goes crazy from overwhelming power, destroys all the warriors and challenges the Elder Gods themselves to battle.

Lin Kuei

The name Lin Kuei in the history of Mortal Kombat is associated primarily with two important moments - the history of the Sub-Zero brothers and their feud with Scorpion, as well as the program of turning their soldiers into cyborgs during the events of MK3.

After Sektor killed the Lin Kuei Grand Master and then lost in battle to Sub-Zero, the fate of the clan was forever changed. The new Master announced for the first time in history that the Lin Kuei warriors would henceforth serve the forces of good.

A Lin Kuei warrior named Bi-Khan was brought up and trained as a hired killer from childhood.

During this journey, Sub-Zero kills a ninja named Hanzo Hasashi, also known as Scorpion, from the Shirai Ryu clan, which starts their feud.

During the MK1 tournament, Scorpion, revived by the sorcerer Quan Chi, defeats and kills Sub-Zero the Elder. However, the soul of the Lin Kuei takes on a demonic form in the wastelands of the Nether and a new name - Noob Saibot. As a result, he fights on the side of Shao Kahn, Quan Chi and Shinnok.

A strong friendship connects Sub-Zero with another member of the Lin Kuei - Smoke.

In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Sub-Zero becomes the new Grand Master of the Lin Kuei, and that brings about big changes. From that time on, members of the Lin Kuei begin to fight on the side of the forces of good.

Frost, a cryomancer, becomes Sub-Zero's personal assistant and student. In the finale of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Sub-Zero also has a chance to bring his brother Noob Saibot back to the side of light.

However, in the future, he repeatedly helped the followers of Raiden and the defenders of the Earth, until Noob Saibot reprogrammed him as his assistant.

Sektor became the first member of the Lin Kuei to go through the transformation into a cyborg. After this procedure, his task was to find and kill Sub-Zero, who decided to leave the clan. After several setbacks, Sector's program was corrupted and he decided he must destroy the Lin Kuei Grandmaster. He succeeded, and for some time the Sector himself became the Grand Master, until he was defeated by the same Sub-Zero. After that, Sektor fled to Japan, where he founded his own clan of cybernetic ninja Tekanin (Tekanin).

Defeating Blaze in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon allows Cyrax to regain his human form.

Other members: Frost (Frost), Sarina (Sareena), Tremor (Tremor).

Shirai Ryu

Scorpion , Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, Mortal Kombat 2011

Slain at the hands of Sub-Zero the Elder, Hanzo Hasashi was revived by the sorcerer and necromancer Quan Chi in the wastelands of the Nether. From that moment on, the only purpose of the existence of Scorpio was revenge on the killer, which he carried out at the MK1 tournament.

After some time, Scorpio learned that his family and clan were also destroyed. Once again, Quan Chi named Sub-Zero as the culprit. In the next battle, the lord of the cold lost, but the Scorpion did not kill him. It soon became clear that the true killer of the Shirai Ryu clan was Quan Chi.

In Mortal Kombat: Deception, the Elder Gods made Scorpion their champion and sent him to fight the Dragon King Onaga, in return promising to revive his family and clan. The gods fulfilled their promise, but only partially - Shirai Ryu returned to life, but became zombie killers. Then Scorpio swore that he would take revenge on the gods for this joke.
