Character Info
Name: Johnny CageAllegiance: Earthrealm/Special Forces
Relatives: Sonya Blade (ex-wife), Cassie Cage (daughter)
First Appearance: Mortal Kombat 1 (1992)
Bio
Johnny Cage, famous Hollywood action hero; joined the first Mortal Kombat tournament for the publicity. As the Thunder God, Raiden, intoned at the time about the arrogant, loquacious Cage, "He is a hero... though he might not yet know it." Raiden was correct, of course: Johnny's martial arts skills were not special effects--and were pivotal in Earthrealm's victory. Johnny became a leader alongside Sonya Blade against Outworld and later Netherrealm. Sonya's initial dislike of Johnny turned to friendship and eventually to marriage. After their daughter, Cassie, was born, however, Johnny and Sonya split up. Now older and more somber, the 50-something Johnny is a consultant with a secret Special Forces unit under Blade's command. He tolerates the occasional run-in with his ex-wife mostly to.spend time with his beloved Cassie--the group's squad leader.Variations
