Johnny Cage

Johnny Cage, is a character in Mortal Kombat who first appeared in Mortal Kombat 1.

Pre-game
Johnny Cage was the first character ever installed in Mortal Kombat, as Edd Boon states when they created the game, they first had two Johnny Cage sprites fighting each other.

His main inspiration was Jeanne Van Damme and the general stereotypical American Action star, with his combat shorts, sun glasses and martial arts.

Bio
In the first timeline Johnny Cage was a failing actor who joined the Mortal Kombat tournament in order to prove to people that he didn't need special affects.

He later follows Liu Kang into the Outworld to help him kombat Shao Khan and get inspiration for another block buster movie.

His character in the second timeline is similar to his first timeline as he is still a failing actor trying to prove he doesn't need special affects. Except in this timeline he marries Sonya Blade.

He then returns as a mentor to the new group of Mortal Kombat kombatants in Mortal Kombat X.

Appearance
Johnny Cage's appearance is 100% based off acting stars. He has brown hair or blond hair and is usually seen with blue eyes. He always wears his special sun glasses and mortal kombat martial art outfit.
