Biography
Original Timeline
Liu Kang (Chinese: 劉鋼; pinyin: Liúgāng) was a male human born in Earthrealm in the Henan Province in China where he was orphaned from a young age. He was taken in by the Order of Light's Shaolin Temple where he came to be trained in the teachings of the Great Kung Lao.
Returning home victorious, he found that his sacred home had been razed and the temple was left in ruins. Many of his Shaolin brothers had been killed in a vicious battle against the warriors of Outworld. This resulted in Liu Kang swearing revenge and travelling to the Dark Realm to participate in the next Mortal Kombat Tournament.
In the midst of Outworld's invasion, Liu Kang found himself as a prime target of Shao Kahn's extermination squads. The Shaolin Champion had thwarted the Emperor's schemes in the past and thus was seen as the greatest threat to Kahn's rule.
