The new Kung Lao is the last relative of the old.

^ Right on.

The Kung Lao that defeated Shang Tsung and later was killed by Goro 500 years ago had a son with his wife or whatever....

wat the hell..... wats the purpose of lui kang then???!! kunglao (mk2) should of been the one who won mk1 mk2 mk3 mk4 not lui kang... kung lao was a descendent of a great warrior its in his blood he should of been the luke skywalker of mk not lui kang!!!!!

In my opinion, even though in the arcades they say they are different. Kung Lao with the hat, and the Kung Lao that was defeated by Goro 500 years ago are the same person. In a comic called Mortal Kombat Blood and Thunder, the Kung Lao there with the hat appears to Liu Kang first in Outworld after destroying a tree in what appeared to be the Living Forest with lightning speed. In a way, I believe that after defeat at the hands of Goro, Kung Lao was placed in Outworld, and later escaped when Shang Tsung invaded the Earthrealm to get revenge on Liu Kang according to the MKII comic. That's just my opinion. Just like in the MK1 comic it says that Liu Kang's twin brother Chow Kang was lost. I believe that Shang Tsung place Chow Kang in Outworld as well during the MK tournament before the one Liu Kang won. That is why we see him in the MK2 Pit II backround.

Kung Lao is the descendent of the original Kung Lao,it's not the same person,you can see the original Kung Lao in the ending of MK2 Kung Lao's ending.

fear the noob....

Hey, when it comes down to analogy, I think Liu Kang is more Luke Skywalker, while Kung Lao is more like Han Solo. Eh? EH?

Actually Liu Kang was also a descendant of the original Kung Lao. Apparently Liu and Kung Lao Jr. are related somehow; probably cousins.

But one thing, though: were Shaolin monks allowed to marry, or did they, like Christian monks and priests, follow a life of celibacy?
