So Shao Kahn is ruler of Outworld. And he's like a multi-dimensional version of Hitler crossed with Skeletor.

So Shao Kahn is gonna fuck Earth up, till the Elder Gods tell Kahn to chill with that shit.

They set up a B-Movie martial arts tournament and tell Kahn, "youre not allowed to invade Earth unless you beat them in MORTAL KOMBAT ten times."

And then Goro wrecks shit 9 times, and then Mortal Kombat 1 happens. Liu Kang fucks up Goro and Shang Tsung and Earth is saved.


Until Mortal Kombat 2, where Shao Kahn challenges Earth to an outworld-based tournament for all the canolis. Liu Kang fucks up Tiger Goro and Shao Kahn and bones Kitana.

Then in Mortal Kombat 3 Shao Kahn says forget the Elder Gods, ima invade Earth.

I forget the original lore but in MK9 Raiden gets imbued with Elder God magic and clubs Kahn like a baby seal because Kahn broke the rules of Mortal Kombat.

Other than that, just know that

Sub-Zero was killed by Scorpion in MK1 and replaced with his younger brother. Elder Sub became Noon Saibot. Scorpion reconciled with Young Sub.

Quan Chi is responsible for Scorpions shitty life, and had control over him while Scorpion was a specter.

Smoke was a friend of Young Sub but was turned into a robot because Ninjas are just like American corporations when it comes to job automation.
