Mortal Kombat

Johnny Cage, born John Carlton, is a prominent character in the Mortal Kombat franchise. He's a Hollywood action star known for his martial arts skills and charismatic, often cocky, personality.

Initially, Cage enters the first Mortal Kombat tournament to prove his fighting abilities are real, dispelling rumors that his skills are solely due to special effects.

He discovers a hidden lineage connecting him to a race of warriors bred to fight for the gods. This revelation significantly deepens his commitment to protecting Earthrealm.

Beyond his movie career and fighting prowess, Cage is often portrayed as comic relief, frequently delivering witty one-liners even in the face of danger. His signature moves often involve shadow energy and powerful punches, showcasing his unique style.

Over the course of the series, Cage evolves from a self-centered actor into a dedicated hero and family man, eventually marrying Special Forces officer Sonya Blade and fathering Cassie Cage, who follows in their footsteps.
