Notable Mortal Kombat Characters Still Missing in Liu Kang’s New Era

The Mortal Kombat franchise has developed a truly baffling roster of fighters over its thirty-year history. From Raiden to Reptile, dozens of kombatants have spilled blood in the gory fighting series. Mortal Kombat 1 sees the return of many obscure and familiar faces, many of which have completely new origin stories. With the beginning of Fire God Liu Kang’s new era, NetherRealm Studios has gone back to square one with many of its fighters, trimming a lot of the fat that had accumulated in previous entries. It’s a bold decision after so many years of storytelling, but Mortal Kombat 1 manages to pull it off.
