John Tobias originally intended for the character to be a traditional bald monk, but the actor refused to shave his head. In the first game, Liu Kang was modeled after Bruce Lee, as he had short hair and went shirtless, with a threadbare outfit of only black pants and white shoes. Scorpion gets the better of Sub-Zero this time around and kills the ninja during their next battle.
Yes, even though it seems that both of these characters are equal, they are not on the same level, as Scorpion is stronger than Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero has the awesome power of controlling ice, while Scorpion has power over fire.
In fact, Scorpion gets stronger in the Netherrealm. This also makes it easy to punish opponents with the X-Ray. At his debut, Liu Kang appeared to be among the many Bruce Lee pastiches; a man of Chinese origin with a bare chest, black pants and white sneakers. Shao Kahn is later shown to survive, claiming he can not be defeated so easily with along with the wound being healed by Quan Chi.

After the revelation, Raiden heals Scorpion and refuses to be the goddess' puppet while Liu Kang is pleased with this declaration. However, Kronika appears and kidnaps the younger Kang so that his revenant counterpart can absorb his soul to fight Raiden once more, killing him.
The revenant attacks Raiden who defeats him in a lengthy battle but rather than kill the evil counterpart like the latter expected, Raiden merges himself and past Liu Kang's previously deceased body with the revenant Kang, transforming them into Fire God Liu Kang, with past Liu Kang's consciousness prevailing, having also absorbed his revenant counterpart's memories.
With his new godly powers and the knowledge about the Hourglass and Kronika's plan, Liu Kang is able to combat her forces and her time manipulating abilities. The armies of Earthrealm and Outworld begin their assault on Kronika's Keep with Liu Kang's new abilities wiping out several legions to get through. Once inside however, Kronika reverses time sending Liu Kang's allies back to Kharon's Ship, forcing Liu Kang to battle the revenant counterparts of his friends alone.
Then Liu Kang battles Cetrion and defeats her. Kronika then reverses time for the final time to the Prehistoric Age. Their battle has sent them to the dawn of time itself. Fortunately, Liu Kang has maneged to defeat her, using his fire to turn her to glass and destroy her body, including her crown. Raiden is separated from him leaving Liu Kang a God and the latter a mortal. During his conversation with Raiden, the former Thunder God bestows the title of protector of Earthrealm and the keeper of time to Liu Kang.
When Liu Kang describes the task as hard to carry alone, Raiden suggests to advise him as long as he lives. Liu Kang agrees, and they began to reshape the sands of time.
As the new Keeper of Time, Liu Kang attempts to create a new history along with Raiden using the Hourglass, but was stopped by the sudden arrival of Shang Tsung, Fujin, and the human Nightwolf.
They warned that using the Hourglass without Kronika's crown would eventually shatter it, which proved correct when Liu Kang used it to see the outcome of what would come next. He sent the three back in time, right when the past Kitana would free Kotal Kahn and become the Kahn of Outworld. The Fire God was aware that Shang Tsung would eventually get the crown and win, seizing control of the Hourglass, betraying and using those around him as pawns in his chess game, until he would give his checkmate.
He would wait until Shang's victory to happen to stop his plans, choosing to sacrifice all of his friends' lives for the greater good of giving them a more peaceful and better future in a new timeline he would create. Meanwhile, the Revenant Liu Kang uses an amulet to bind the trio when they land in the Netherrealm, and order his minions to take them as hostages in Shinnok's Bone Temple. He later appears at the final chapter, ready to confront Raiden, before his legs are broken due to Shao Kahn making such damage to his past self.
When his and Kitana's body are dropped by the Outworld duo, Liu Kang, despite his injures, tries to reach his hand to Kitana's, but right when the two are close to handholding, Shao Kahn steps on Liu Kang's hand. Though not seen at first, Shao Kahn later cripples Liu Kang's legs, rendering his present, Revenant self incapable of avenging himself against Raiden, making them both paraplegic. Fire God Liu Kang reappears in the climax of the last chapter, repeating the words Shang Tsung called out to him at the start "Cease, before you doom us all.
It is revealed he allowed Shang Tsung to progress as he did for the latter to claim the crown, at the cost of losing his friends, but vow to the sorcerer that his friends will live again in his New Era instead of the sorcerer's.
The player can then choose whether they use or fight Fire God Liu Kang. If the player picked Shang Tsung, the sorcerer defeats Liu Kang, and chokes him as he mocks Liu Kang about his failure.
Shang Tsung then consumes his soul, leaving behind his dried corpse. If the player picked Liu Kang, he pulls out temporal energy from the Hourglass, and blasts it on Shang Tsung. As the sorcerer's body slowly dissolves into dusts of sand, Liu Kang reaches out to him, picking up Kronika's Crown and molding a New Era.
After the transition, a White Lotus temple is shown, it's Shaolin monks training vigorously. Fire God Liu Kang then appears in front of him, startling the young monk.
Mortal Kombat Wiki Explore. Mortal Kombat Liu Kang possesses incredible agility, acrobatic skill and martial arts, though the latter is more common. It is suggested that Kang meditates regularly in order to keep increasing strength as well as maintain it. Due to his recurring status as the Mortal Kombat champion, Liu Kang hardly seems to age. Liu Kang is commonly associated with the element of fire, which comes in the form of shooting firebound projectiles.
He appears to have some degree of control over it as the fireballs sometimes form dragon-like shapes, and has even used the element for finishers as well. Kang also appears to possess a degree of shapeshifting, able to transform himself into a Chinese dragon which includes a serpentine body with small arms. In Shaolin Monks , the form is also revealed to have fire-breathing capabilities, most likely associated with his ability to use fire. Besides his fiery projectiles, he has other abilities related to the element.
He can also ignite his limbs on fire to add fire damage to his attacks and teleport in a burst of flames. Liu Kang can also steal what appears to be a person's energy and convert it into a fireball. In MK11, Liu Kang's wraith has assimilated and mastered his former sire Shinnok's mysticism to bolster his own fighting abilities.
Having used it to steal his past self's soul in order to strengthen himself even further. He also has the ability to summon and control a massive winged dragon of fire to assist him in combat.
In MKX , Liu Kang is shown to be able to manipulate his Yin and Yang energies through the Dualist variation, firing searing hot blasts of light in his Yin state along with healing properties while firing dark energy blasts and strengthening himself through his Yang state. He is also shown firing these dark projectiles in the game's Story Mode. As a reanimated corpse, Liu Kang is incapable of human speech but still retains all of his combat knowledge.
He can shrug off lethal blows such as a broken neck and can no longer feel any pain inflicted on him. His zombie physiology allows him to quickly recover from lethal injuries and freely twist and contort his body whilst in combat. He wields two Houan chains that can quickly age people to death if they are caught by its hooks.
In MK11 , it is revealed that Kronika fears his power alongside Raiden's and thus manipulated the timelines to force the two to fight against each other. Her fears are fully realized when Raiden merges his own essence with Liu Kang's past and present selves, turning him into a Fire God. With this merger, Liu Kang's powers are boosted exponentially, taking down an entire legion of Netherrealm demons in one fell swoop by simply dive-bombing and creating a massive explosion on impact.
He has also inherited Raiden's command over lightning and thunder as well as the ability to fly. His power and skill are so much that he is able to best the Elder God Cetrion in single kombat and later defeat Kronika, whose power eclipses that of the Elder Gods, cementing him as one of the most powerful kombatants in the entire franchise.
He is also the only person not affected by the full power of the Hourglass even as it was rewinding time back to the prehistoric era. These films created a romantic relationship between Kang and Princess Kitana, which was never hinted upon during MKII or the prequel comics.
This was integrated into the games from MK4 onward. The guilt of his brother's death provides Kang's primary motivation for competing in the Mortal Kombat tournament. In the second movie, he joins the Earthrealm warriors to stop Shao Kahn's menace. Jade appears as his secondary love-interest, and Nightwolf helps him learn to master his Animality. His dragon form appears briefly with a more western design, while retaining the klassic green coloration.
This form has wings, but he is not shown flying with them. For the first time in the series, Liu Kang does not fight as Earthrealm's champion but as one of Outworld's chosen kombatants, serving under Shang Tsung himself, having become disgusted by humanity's vices.
Sometime in the past, Liu Kang was a member of the White Lotus and participated in the Mortal Kombat tournament before and emerged victorious, even defeating Shang Tsung by decapitating him, though this did not kill the demigod sorcerer.
