Shao Kahn is Emperor of Outworld. He is a cruel and merciless leader who rules with an iron fist and with the intention of conquering all of existence. Known for his prowess in fighting, Emperor Kahn takes pleasure in destroying his enemies and crushing any form of opposition. Throughout history, Emperor Kahn has been feared by both men and beasts alike for his executions that are marked by brutality and unbearable gore. Those who oppose Shao Kahn are fittingly described as "victims" rather than "opponents". Respect for Emperor Kahn is rooted well in true and absolute fear.
Shao Kahn is also known for his skill as both a strategic mastermind and formidable martial arts master.
His talents as the supreme commander of a merciless hoard of armed assassins have led to victories throughout the known universe and the destruction of countless civilizations that have dared to oppose the greatness of Shao Kahn.
In a full-contact, death tournament known as Mortal Kombat, Shao Kahn ruled supreme. Crushing the skulls of his opponents with a vicious war hammer and ripping his opponents to pieces with his bare hands, Shao Kahn merged the Outworld with the Earthrealm. This brought an age of darkness unsurpassed in the annuls of history and a total and complete reign by the Emperor Kahn. While other dimensions of time and history have recounted varying events, the truth is that Shao Kahn ruled and continues to rule supreme.
Kneel before your Emperor or face the destructive force of his undeniable Greatness!!!
