Throughout the series, Raiden has served as a mentor and father figure to Earthrealm's champions, especially Liu Kang and Kung Lao. He is also more prone to thinking in terms of eternity rather than normal human lifespans, and has a radically different outlook on life. As a result of his divine nature, he possesses many supernatural abilities, such as the ability to teleport, control lightning, and fly. After the second defeat of Shinnok, he ascended to the status of Elder God. Raiden is the eternal God of Thunder, protector of Earthrealm, and arguably one of the most powerful characters in all of Mortal Kombat. 9.4 Mortal Kombat 3/ Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3/ Mortal Kombat Trilogy.8.10 Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms.8.9 Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.8.3 Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.6.1 Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm and The Journey Begins.Watch the very first episode below, which drops the “heroes” right into a battle with cyborgs/robots.

Heck, Jax even removed his cybernetic implants in one episode.īut again, the fact that this was a children’s show based on possibly the most violent and gory game of its day didn’t sit very well with parents and critics. The plots included battles with legions of robots, the supernatural, and humans, and often dropped in one-on-one battles to make them seem somewhat related to the games. It featured many of the game’s characters, even the unpopular ones like Cyrax and Stryker.

And it was somehow aimed at children.ĭefenders of the Realm served as sort of a sequel to the movie as well as a soft sequel to the Mortal Kombat 3 game. And so, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm was born.

With video game cartoons becoming an actual popular thing, it was obvious that Mortal Kombat would join eventually the frenzy.

Who knew! And then the sequels came out, which were pretty terrific and gory too! And then there was the movie! Surprisingly it was a little game by the name of Mortal Kombat. The game at the top of that list wasn’t Earthworm Jim, nor was it Toejam & Earl.
