From overpowered Kahns of the Outworld to soul-sucking sorcerers, fire-breathing monks, and four-armed beasts, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat has produced some iconic characters. Because of thei🌳r extensively immersive storyline and the connection it builds with the fans over time, they start searching for human traits, like age and height, in these mystic beings.
However, Mortal Kombat is a legendary, yet fictional, world based in a reality where creatures like human-dragon crossbreeds exist. It's natural that the concept of time and aging also do not follow the general rules, and you will find beings who have lived multiple millennia. Moreover, no official data paired with more than one timeline in the universe make it even more complicated. However, this is what we do know about the most popular characters in the series.
For the sake of setting up a timeline, we'll assume that the original Mortal Kombat game is set in 1992, the year of its official release. Also, to avoid confusion, the list will follow the original timeline of events and not the one where Raiden (sort of) travels back in time.
10 Scorpion
Hanzo Hasashi of the Shirai Ryu clan, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:generally known as Scorpion, in his vengeance-driven undead ninja form, is one of the p💎oster boys of Mortal Kombat and an iconic character. His afterlife was singly focused on killing Sub Zero to avenge himself and his family.
Scorpion is 32 at the time of the first Mortal Kombat game, which means he was killed by Bi-Han (Original Sub Zero) at 30. This sets his age to 63 per the original timeline at the time of the 2023 Mortal Kombat 1 release. His height is 6'2", and he is depicted as a physically well-built man.
9 Sub Zero
Sub Zero is as iconic as Scorpion, if not more so, sharing the poster boy status with him. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sub Zero persona is held by 2 different Lin Kuei members at di🍰fferent times, originally by Bi Han, and then by his younger brother, Kuai Liang.
Bi Han too, like his counterpart Scorpion, is 32 at the time of the first MK game. However, Kuai Liang's exact age is not known, but he is almost the same age as his brother, maybe a couple of years younger. That makes Sub Zero approximately 62 years old now. And again, similar to Scorpion, he's 6'2" tall.
8 Raiden
Raiden is the Mortal Kombat equivalent of Norse Mythology's God of Thunder, Thor. He is a divine being who possesses the 𝔉power of thunder and▨ is generally regarded as the protector of the Earth realm and its heroes.
Now, guessing the age of a literal god is as difficult as you might think and hence he's generally referred to as an eternal in the franchise. He is 7'0" tall and wears a hat, similar to the Kasa hat of Japanese tradition. Rightfully so, he's accompanied by lightning bolts when making an appearance or an exit.
7 Goro
The prince of Kuatan, Goro, is a Shokan and has one of the most distinct character designs in the en𒊎tire franchise. Coming from a human-dragon cross race, he i⛦s enormous and has four arms.
At the time of the first Mortal Kombat game, he was 2000 years old and was the reigning champion, winning nine consecutive tournaments. This makes him approximately 2033 years old presently. He's also the tallest of the original roster at 8'2" and is known to rip the bodies of champions into two in fatality after defeating them.
6 Liu Kang
The protagonist of the story, Liu Kang is regarded as the Earth realm's greatest champion. He is depicted as a trained Shaolin Monk powerful enough to defeat the prince of Kuatan, Goro, and break his winning streak. Liu Kang can summon fire dragons as part of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:his fatality moves.
He was 24 in 1992, which sets his age to around 55 years at present. His physical appearance is that of a shredded man with an excellently well-toned physique and his height is approximately 5'10".
5 𝓀 Johnny Cage 💛
Jonathan🌱 "Johnny Cage" Carlton is as sassy of a Mortal Kombat character as they get. Always donning black sunglasses, this actor-turned-warrior fights with the might o🍌f gods and the bravery of legends. In the rebooted timeline, Johnny and Sonya Blade have a daughter together known as Cassie Cage.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Johnny Cage is known to be 29 at the time of the first Mortal Kombat game, which makes him a 60-year-old man in 2023. He stands tall at 6'1" and has well-built muscles visible through his action-hero attires.
4 ꧒ Sonya Blade 🐼
The only female character on the original roster, Lieutenant Sonya Blade is an officer with the US Special Forces. Her storyline is primarily based on her rivalry with the criminal leader Kano. Sonya is one of the Earth realm's champions and her most trusted ally is Major Jax Briggs.
She might not be the same size as others on the list, but she is by no means feeble. Standing at 5'10", Sonya was 26 at the time of the original 1992 game, and hence, is 57 presently. She usually sports military outfits and is generally seen using military equipment for her fatality moves.
3 Shao Kahn
Every MK fan, at some point, has been terrified of the great Kahn of the Outworld. He's known to be a conqueror, winning over the realm of Edenia. His next target was Earth, and he nearly succeeded with his champion Goro winning nine consecutive tournaments before being defeated by Liu Kang.
The legendary emperor of the Outworld is no puny being by any measure. Although the specifics about him are unknown, he's apparently as tall as Goro, which sets his height to almost 8'2". His age is also a topic of debate among the fans, however, the "millions of years" reference by Dark Elder God Shinnok sets Shao Kahn's age to millions of years.
2 Kano
Kano is the leader of the fictional crime syndicate "Black Dragon" and is wanted in more than 30 countries on Earth. He shoots laser beams from one of his eyes and ꦓhis enmity with Special Fo𒁃rces officer Sonya Blade is well-known.
He is around 66 years old at present, as he was 35 at the time of the 1992 Mortal Kombat game. The evil character stands at 6'0" tall and has a well-built physique. He is one of the original characters from the roster and is known to act solely in self-interest.
1 🥃 Sha♎ng Tsung
One of the primary antagonists of the Mortal Kombat franchise, this evil soul-sucking sorcerer has lived way longer than any earthly creature. Although his true age is unknown, he's unanimously believed to be a couple of thousand years old by the fan base.
This shape-shifter has served Shao Kahn for many years as his trusted advisor and his alliance with Quan Chi has been one of the most interesting plotlines in the entire franchise. He's believed to be around 6'0" tall, however, no official data is available to attest to this.
