Johnny Cage

Personality:   Johnny Cage is depicted as the typical American action movie star; bare muscular build with karate pants and his trademark sunglasses. In his debut, his clothing was modeled directly after Jean-Claude Van Damme's character in Bloodsport, consisting of black shorts with a red sash and black shoes. From MKII to MK4, he is depicted with black pants with blue accents.Johnny Cage is shown to be an arrogant, cocky and egotistical action movie star with a wise-cracking sense of humor who enjoys being at the center of attention. Because of this, many initially find Cage to be nothing but an annoying nuisance. Cage's ego knows no bounds, as he disrespectfully greeted Raiden and Liu Kang. His arrogance is so bloated that he refused to believe the sinister and supernatural elements occurring around the tournament and thought it was just another fighting tournament that can help him further his goals until much later. Despite this, Cage is also very determined and ambitious albeit his goals were initially of the selfish kind as he only joined the first Mortal Kombat tournament to prove to his movie critics that his incredible skills are real and not just mere stunt-work. Cage however, shows his true heroic and selfless nature when he saved Sonya Blade from being killed by Kano. He eventually realized the true nature of the Mortal Kombat tournament and joined Raiden, Liu Kang, Sonya and the rest of the heroes on their quest to keep Earthrealm safe from the likes of Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn. Also, his sense of humor mitigates what is to be a bleak, dark overall surrounding of the series. In his Armageddon ending Johnny Cage wants the power of Blaze to become a better fighter. Yet unlike the other kombatants while Johnny wanted his skills increased he doesn't want to use the power to become a god or to rule like most of the others. Johnny not only uses the power to improve his skills he uses Blaze's power to gain insight and decides to become a monk gain enlightenment. Even though Johnny Cage is arrogant, cocky, egotistical, annoying, self-centered and enjoys the spot light he really has good intentions at heart. In Armageddon many kombatants want Blaze's power to rule with peace or to rule with force and fear. Some want the power to destroy, some to become a god, some to become champion and the best kombatant. Others wish to permanently get rid of all darkness or steal the powers from all the kombatatns. Johnny's wish is different from many of the others he wants to become a great fighter. But Blaze's power help him see things the way he has never seen things before, and when the power from Blaze becomes too much for him to bear, he simply gives up the power. As he got older however, due to many harrowing and tragic ordeals he suffered in MK9 Johnny grew to be more mature and wiser, becoming a great father and raising his daughter Cassie while still making cheeky remarks to his friends and enemies alike. He truly loves the family he has as he managed to reconcile with Sonya after their divorce and is shown to be proud of his daughter for her valiant efforts and achievements. During the events of Mortal Kombat 11, Johnny is even shown to be disdainful of his younger self for his annoying behavior when being with him in person (what the current Johnny could have been had it not been for events occurred in MK9) but understands that he'll learn maturity and wisdom later on. Raiden once commented that Johnny Cage is a hero; though Johnny himself is not aware of it (at the time). 3 decades later, Raiden's evaluation of Johnny proved all too correct. Master Martial Artist: Cage has been training with Master Boyd for several years and he has been traveling around the world to learn other fighting styles. He bested a number of opponents from Outworld and the Netherrealm. He also bested Earthrealm ninjas who are cybernetically enhanced as well.

He defeated Shinnok by combining his shadow powers with martial arts. As noted by Raiden, he is one of Earthrealm's best warriors. Karate Jeet Kune Do Shinto Ryu Shorin RyuMaster Acrobat: Johnny Cage is a very incredible gymnast and athlete. He is able to flip, do a split to nail a nut punch, and can leap great distances. High Intelligence: Johnny Cage maybe boastful and very immature, but he is a very keen strategist. Even though he never fought a being like a Zetarran or a Tarkatan, he was able to figure out ways to counter their unique powers and abilities. Stealth: Johnny Cage does have some expertise in stealth.Throwing: He is able to launch his energy force balls at an arc or straight at an opponent. Weaponry: Cage does have skills in using weapons. He is proficient with the nunchaku in combat. Indomitable Will: Despite his materialism, airheadedness, and occasional immaturity, Cage is a brave and loyal warrior, although his antics frequently annoy his allies.

He also cares about his daughter, Cassie and his love for her and Sonya causes him to never give up compassion.
