Image/Appearance:
History: As a mercenary and leader of the international crime cartel known as the Black Dragon, he rises beyond mere brutality and aggression by also being sly and cunning. Originally from Australia, Kano is highly opportunistic and incredibly selfish, willing to betray his own realm and even his own allies for money or personal gain. As a result, he quickly became part of Shao Kahn's inner circle, and eventually the general of Outworld's armies (in the original timeline). One of his more notable features is his facetious and twisted sense of humour, almost always making light of dire circumstances. He combines features of a cowardly minion, a lone survivor, a crazed madman, and a ruthless commander. His actions have made him the archenemy of Sonya Blade, who is obsessed with finding and bringing Kano to justice.
A portion of Kano's face is covered with a metal plate, the result of a disfiguring injury he sustained at the hands of Major Jackson Briggs prior to the events of the series, with the plated eye being a glowing red orb capable of emitting laser beams.
He currently invited several people into his ranks, including Liquid Snake, Psycho Mantis, Madcap and Sportsmaster. His goal is to create a new superhuman Black Dragon, with him at the helm.
Equipment: He's very proficient in knife fighting and often uses his signature Butterfly Knives in combat, whether he throws them at the opponent or uses them in hand-to-hand combat. He also carries various guns, rockets and even a minigun sometimes.
Powers: In addition, to his fighting skills, Kano has been outfitted with Cybernetic enhancements throughout his body, most notably his Cybernetic Eye which can emit a laser beam. His other enhancements help boost his power in combat.
Although Kano depends mostly on weapons rather than Special Moves, he does have a Special Ability to tuck into a cannonball and propel himself toward his opponents. This has been a signature move of his since the first game. Also, several of his finishers involve him ripping vital organs (or sometimes entire skeletons) out of the opponent's body. Along with the elder Sub-Zero's Spine Rip Fatality, Kano's Heart Rip helped Mortal Kombat garner significant controversy over its violence factor.
Kano's cybernetics have been upgraded and extended through his entire body. This includes a cybernetic "heart" similar to Hsu Hao (worked into his body strap), which serves as a booster to his cybernetic enhancements. He now uses thermal grenades as part of his already deadly arsenal.
Skills: Kano has received training under the arts of Xing Yi, Aikido, and Military training but tends to resort to more of a Brawler style of fighting. He is not above utilizing underhanded tactics to get the upper hand in a fight. Kano is an opportunistic fighter and tends to engage in fights when it best suits him. Although he lacks in discipline (finesse & footwork), he is extremely adept in combat and has proven to be a challenge for even the more skilled fighters.
Weaknesses: What differentiates him from his opponents, however, is his dependence on weapons rather than special powers.
Trivia (optional):
- Always liked his MK3 look.
- He looks younger for a reason...he paid Shang Tsung well enough.
- Eager to finish his work on Sub-Zero.
