You had to do something in the character select screen which turns the outline invisible, "highlight" a certain character (forgot who), and select them pressing certain buttons. He was just the bloody skeleton you see in some fatalities. --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM <cite>dave_is_slick posted [p:951828039] in Mortal Kom...

The fact that they got rid of Cage and relegated Kang to a supporting character so they could make a mixed eurasian actor the protagonist smells like pandering to both sides. --- I said what I said <cite>ReignFury posted [p:951828215] in Mortal Kom...

Instead, the hero of the movie is some OC (do not steal) of Chinese descent, even though Johnny Cage has NEVER been the hero that saves everyone. That has always been Liu Kang, an Asian. So creating some Chinese OC to be the main hero is completely unnecessary. ~~The Cage family are the heroes in the new timeline~~ --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel. https://discord.gg/Wgtz2y9 - Come join us for Among Us <cite>Alpha218 posted [p:951828258] in Mortal Kom...
