Johnny Cage is awesome, hands down ! He died alot in the original timeline which was messed up. Alternate timeline he doesn't die not once and took over as champion and became a hero, he deserves to get his shine and I'm glad he finally does.

[@julesxxxx0]

True He is my favorite mk character too

[@dwaynefrierson991]

MK X Johnny Cage is the best one in my opinion because he's grown out of the cocky actor and more into a dad. Now, he's still cocky but he's less annoying. Cassie has definitely rubbed off on him.

Johnny is my favorite after sub zero. Sonya and cassie are my favorite females but mileena is cool as hell too. I like all the mkx fighters. Except kano.

[@lilprincekilla]

little known fact, if you look at the Armageddon intro the last image you see Johnny Cage in it is him turning back and upper cutting Sonya Blade while trying to race up to Blaze. Typical Johnny Cage, they always making him do funny shit.

[@lilprincekilla]

Roman Delcid Stryker was the first one to run up the pyramid when it first appeared dumb fuck. Spelling Nigga the way you do I can already tell you're a noob. Read what I wrote carefully and look at the footage again. When I saw it, it showed him upper cutting her but here it shows him shoving her down. Dumb fuck.

jeff jefferson same question

[@48hourrecordsteam45]

Outworld is a realm of lots of magic..and mystic....the atmosphere is magically charged so anybody in or born in outworld or where the realm connects can learn to use magic.....johnny caged likes to throw frisbee.....and that’s the thought he used to help him learn to throw a projectile .....just before mk1....in a meeting with raiden,sang Tsung and the Elder gods before the 10th Mortal Kombat tournament....Shang tsung announces the Lin kui sent their best warrior to fight on the side of outworld and the nether realm has donated another to fight on outworld’s side ....(raiden pleaded that the tournament was unfair,because of outworlders being beasts /half beast and undead and have mastery and use of magical powers & that the champion has 4 hands ...so they allowed weapons and told raiden the mortals can use magic he just never taught them ....raiden exclaimed this was never said to him......after the meeting fujin pulled raiden aside.....& told raiden he must teach them to use magic & mystical powers ...raiden was reluctant....because he said mortals should not be able to bring this to earth with them it would change the eco system ...of the planet....fujin says ether he trust the three warriors or suffer and watch the invasion.....because he doesn’t have much choice...this is the last tournament for them....u see how it’s a better and realistic explanation of things..boon you’ll need to hire me !!!!!....

His ancestors were a cult that bred the greatest warriors. As time went on there decendents were born with the abilitys

[@Spongebrain97]

You're a little wrong about the Johnny cage character origins. Originally Ed Boon and John Tobias were tasked on making a game just about John Claude Van Dam which was based on a recent movie he was in. Yeah he couldn't contribute because he was busy and probably didn't want to anyways so the MK creators decided to just make a completely different game but kept the realistic fighting concept. Johnny Cage is supposed to be a parody of Van Dam

I think that Johnny was too op in mkx because in mk9 he was knocked down by shao Kahn but in mkx he defeats Shinnok with some green stuff. *sigh*

[@LemonLime42]

Lol

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

Lorenzo Alderiso Shinnok is actually isn't that strong. While it is non canon, in Quan-Chi's ending in MK 9, he takes Shao-Kahn's soul and turns him into a revenant, with just Shao-Kahn, he kills Shinnok and all of his forces.

[@arafatzahan3697]

Lorenzo Alderiso He was already weakens by fight with Sindel where pretty much everyone died, that's why he was easily knocked out by Shao Kahn.

[@justicemurphy23]

Shinnok is strong when he's in his corrupted form.

[@wilsonmartin734]

Shinnok didn't have his amulet on him, it was knocked away. It's the source of his power. Johnny only fought him a couple minutes, then Raiden finished it.

[@MewLovesChocolate]

I always appreciated Johnny as a character! Like, before I even got into MK, I saw Armageddon for the PS2 and wanted it so badly. However, I wasn't able to get it, but heard of a recent entry in the series. I think it was called the MK Reboot at the time(instead of the usual MK9?) in magazines that I read, so I decided to wait for that game instead. Good thing, too, because I probably would've hated seeing that everyone died in the end. Anyway, when I saw Johnny's character getting ready to battle, I got so thrilled that I was getting to control him! Like, because he was wearing that outfit, I didn't think it possible, but it was amazing. Ever since, he's been my favorite, even in MKX. However, and unfortunate for him, Cassie is my new main now. I like using her so much, but I'll occasionally switch to Johnny for some older Cage action

Great vid as usual and I cant wait for the next one. by the way, what is the background music that you use for your videos.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

He holds his own against Shinnok in the first timeline, awfully foreboding. XD Also, I remember getting into an argument with a person over Johnny beating both Scorpion and Sub-Zero, him claiming that Johnny is weak as shit and dies all the time in MK and yet I counted only two deaths as well as his Armageddon death where everyone died. I have no idea why he thought that Johnny was Kenny but Johnny only has one more death than Scorpion, plus the new timeline is a lot different from the old even before things started changing, the Lin-Kuei were trying to kill Shang-Tsung in the first tournament, not help him like in MK 9 so if that is different then surely Johnny is also capable of being tougher.

[@joeodonnell8800]

Scorpion dies just as much as Johnny Cage.... Armegeddon obviously. Plus his original death to Sub-Zero which lead to him becoming Scorpion. And than there was his first attempt at revenge in Sub-Zero mythologies where Bi Han kills him again.

[@GreaserMan]

Love Johnny. Can you do Stryker?

[@thexpolishxwolf5236]

This is the first time I have noticed this, even after going through the story mode of MKX so many times. Colonel Flag is a special forces officer at the refugee camp. There is also a Colonel Flag who is a special forces officer in DC's Suicide Squad. Does this special forces officer connect Mortal Kombat to the rest of the DC cinematic universe?
