Bio[]

A ruthless and brutal tyrant of Outworld, Shao Kahn has conquered many foreign realms to his own during his conquests. This has led to Raiden requesting that the Elder Gods start a line of tournaments called Mortal Kombat. With the existence of these tournaments, Shao Kahn would be forbidden to merge any particular realm unless the fate of a realm is determined through the tournament. Any victory for Shao Kahn would lead to a realm being conquered. Earthrealm was his biggest target. When Liu Kang defeated the sorcerer Shang Tsung during a tenth tournament, the emperor gave Shang Tsung another chance after rejuvenating him. However, Shang Tsung lost a second time and thus began an invasion of Earthrealm. Luckily, Raiden and his forces managed to bring Shao Kahn and his forces down and then banished him to a portal that was suppose to kill him inside so he'd never return. Despite the malicious emperor's demise, Earthrealm isn't fully safe just yet.

Kombat Characteristics[]

Power and Abilities[]

Shao Kahn is shown to be an immensely powerful being throughout the series. He is able to utilize magic and has superhuman strength and durability. He is also able to charge at the opponent with considerable speed and power. His kombat abilities were demonstrated during the events of Mortal Kombat 3, where he defeated Kung Lao with relative ease. Armed with his Wrath Hammer, Shao Kahn can send opponents flying with one swing. During the events of Armageddon, he was able to smash through Mileena's magic barrier with his hammer. Like Shang Tsung, he can absorb the souls of others to increase his own power, often through the usage of soulnados.

Apart from his projectile attacks, Kahn's knowledge of magic seems to include cloning, as this is how he managed to avoid assassination at the hands of the Deadly Alliance. After escaping into the wilderness, he was able to resuscitate a mortally wounded Goro and recruit him back to his cause.

  • Wrathful: Gains Wrath, which enhances weapon-based moves. His eyes and horns of his helmet glows red.

  • Hammer Swing: Shao Kahn quickly materializes his signature Wrath Hammer, swinging at his opponent. (MK 2011)
    • The enhanced version is called Hammer Smash. Shao Kahn follows by another swing at the opponent's legs, knocking them down, finishing off with a ruthless smash at the base of the neck.
  • Headbutt: Shao Kahn grabs his opponent by the neck and lifts them up, proceeding to deliver a powerful headbutt into their face.
    • The enhanced version is called Headbutt Combo. Shao Kahn does the Headbutt as normal, before punching his opponent in the stomach with his free hand and kicking them away.
  • Uplifting Knee: Shao Kahn's parry move. When the opponent strikes, Shao Kahn grabs their fist, stunning them, before launching upwards into their stomach with his knee. (MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK:D, MK:U, MK:SM, MK:A, MK 2011)

  • Light Spear: Shao Kahn crouches down to his knees and throws a long light spear at his opponent. (MKII, MK 2011)
  • Ridicule: Shao Kahn would often taunt, mock, and ridicule his opponents with insults, mockery, or just plain laughter. It is a trademark of Shao Kahn's and is what makes him one of the more memorable bosses in fighting game history. In Deception, performing a Ridicule could heal Shao Kahn, though only a tiny sliver of health would be recovered and could only be performed three times a match before it was automatically disabled. Same goes for Armageddon; however, in Armageddon there is no limit to the amount of times this is used. It heals him once for a rate above 10%, and decreases the more it is used. (MKII, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK:D, MK:U, MK:SM, MK:A, MK 2011)

Super Move[]

Finishing Moves[]

  • Golden Wrath: Shao Kahn sees a platform between himself and his opponent. The platform spawns what looks like the Wrath Hammer except it has the color scheme as the Golden Hammer from Super Smash Bros. He takes the golden Wrath Hammer and he starts cartoonishly hammering it up and down in full speed. As he runs to his opponent, he bashes the opponent with each bash being slow motion. The head is smashed to pieces first, then so do the torso, and finally do the lower body. Despite the opponent completely smashed to pieces, Shao Kahn continuously slams his hammer up and down.
  • Hammer Beatdown: Shao Kahn kicks his opponent on the ground. He then summons his Wrath Hammer. He smashes his opponent once with it before saying, “FEEL THE WRATH OF SHAO KAHN!!!”. He then continues smashing the opponent with his hammer over and over again until they end up as a mess of destroyed bones and organs, with blood erupting from his/her stomach.
  • Brute Force: Shao Kahn knocks his opponent down to the ground and grabs him/her by their legs. He brings his opponent's legs upwards so he/she is still laying on there back. Shao Kahn pulls on the opponent's right leg with his right hand, and pushes his opponent's left leg with his left arm, causing his/her left leg to stretch back and there right leg to stretch forward towards Shao Kahn. The opponent screams in pain as he/she starts to rip in half. With one big stretch, Shao Kahn rips his opponent in half and holds the two pieces in the air.

X-Ality[]

  • X-Kahn: Shao Kahn creates a green spear and impales his opponent in the throat with it. He brings the opponent to his/her knees and twists the spear, snapping his/her neck. He finishes by bashing the opponent far away with a swing of his hammer onto his/her chest, obliterating the ribcage.

Brutalities[]

  • Spinner: During X-Ray Move at the final neck snap, Shao Kahn tears the opponent's throat open in the process, causing their head to spin around and gush blood. (MKO)
  • Burning Soul: Shao Kahn shoots a soul ball at the opponent, burning them in a green flame; leaving nothing but a bloody skeleton. (MKO - Konqueror Variation)
  • Kahn Smash: While under the influence of Wrath or Fury, Shao Kahn crushes the opponent's head with the hammer. (MKO - Wrathful Variation)
