Hey guys:

DOWNLOAD THE BIO HERE: You can SAVE it in your computer (high quality):

Save the Johnny Cage Bio in your PC

Same, but this one looks better, Im not sure which is better.

excuse for be late in the second post...
1)for Xiandhou: ahaha you're right,pal!But you forget about their rivarly in MK1 (the game).Also the movie can change the caonicity of a event(and i remeber also a special pack of toys where you can buy Cage and Goro for their epical fight).Midway also done a screen menu with a pic of JC and Goro,so in a way or other they have a feud.
And at least goro can be mentiond?
2)for me JC is the best chaacter to fit in the role of male protagounist for nexyt gen games:he's idiot,and we know that a idiot character (however he have to improve during time!smile) is the best main hero for a saga.
don't you find the classic stereotipical hero(Liu Kang,Kung Lao,etc) boring?
Kenshi,mSonya and JC deserves to be the main heroes for mk8!
And i've noticed that Cage isn't that stupid,so he's improving.
3)Cage vs Shinnok: in normal days Shinnok should open Cage's body like a case,but did you forget that Johnny was possessed by the Dragon King.We don't know if Onaga leave some of his power into Cage body.

4)JC one of the weakest characters?
WTF!do you forget ythat alongside Sonya and Liu Kang he was choosen by Raiden himself?
Kung lao,Kitana,Sub Zero,Jax,Stryker,Nightwolf,etc weren't choosen by raiden,but then accepted in the team.
But the main heroes were,are and will be JC,Sonya and Liu Kang.The other have a secondary role,untile DA,when Midway have the brilliant idea to put Kung lao instead of Liu kang.
8)JC jaelus of Liu kang?(that is Kung Lao!!!!).
Arrogant and vane?yes,but not in this bio,i haven't noticed a single prhase where he claim himself,except for the final one when he think to be the LEADER.

he is not the leader,he is a idiot,and why he is my favourite character!!!!
a good example why JC is a good character for development and other thing is
Peter jackson Bad taste,in that movie the characters were idiots,but they were also perfect heroes!


LOL. Cool post, I 100% agree with you.

He disserves to be leader, and honestly, I don’t see where some people are getting the idea he is arrogant in this bio.

Mortanius Wrote:
Just giving my 2 cents. Here goes.

On Quan Chi and Shinnok's Alliance: No surprise really. Somebody asked how Quan could be back. Here's my take. He did "die" in Raiden's blast, was sent back to the Netherrealm in his original form, weakened. Shinnok found him and gave him his strength back and renewed the alliance. Also I think Shinnok freed Onaga from his restraints that Nightwolf layed down. Could be Quan Chi to but he was busy doing other things. Shinnok was working predominantly in the Netherrealm.


Hopefully not. I hate the idea of Quan Chi back where he started.

ThePredator151 Wrote:
Wow...ummm... Let's see here.

Somebody is fuckin with this dudes head. I mean, he's been such the pansy for so long.

1. I think Shinnok is jackin with the dudes head.
2. He can't beat Shinnok, I don't even understand why thoght is being entertained. Jonny would have a tremendous amount of trouble with even a doppleganger of Shinnok.

3. Jonny Cage is almost the least threatneing, least serious of all the characters in the Mk Universe. Now you're psycic leader?...NOW?!? LmaO.

4. I am actually glad he's gotten serious about Something in his life, but it's so farfetched it just seems silly now that we have this bio here.


Man....All the shovanistic, self centered shit still makes up this characters persona....Please don't be fooled as or poor Jonny Cage is right now.

UInfortunately here was my last thought of this bio:

Jonny Cage = Shujinko......but worse cuz JC's not a kid when he starts being decieved. Trickery like no other man...Jonny is not that leader type dude.



1. Maybe.
2. Yes he can. He is powerful enough to do so.
3. no comment.
4. Johnny Cage = Shujinko??? Nah. Many characters have been tricked so all could be lil Shujinkos.

Garlador Wrote:
As soon as I finished reading the bio, I thought the visions were orchestrated.

Johnny Cage is good. He's one of the best fighters in the series. However, he's never really been respected since his "death of Johnny Cage" fiasco.

As it is, he's stepping up to a new role and doing so very effectively. Personally, I think he's being manipulated (after all, the villains are great at doing that), and that he, a guy with no real history of visions or spiritual power, suddenly developing this trait is... interesting, and I don't think it's an afterthought. There's something to that, either pertaining to him, or to someone else sending the visions to them.

I'll agree too that Shinnok, while he's hardly the strong god he once was (just look at Konquest mode in MK:A, and watch him get his rear handed to him by Li Mei), I think he was holding back, boosting Johnny's ego, and orchestrating things behind the scenes.

Still, Johnny's a major player here, and that's refreshing, seeing as how he's been such a pushover, after-thought character before.


I agree! Im loving this new direction for Cage, who knows, we might actually see him next gen.

Skelepimp Wrote:
I really liked it....It goes with the whole turning everything on it's head direction...

Liu Kang dead...Raiden evil...Johnny Cage a serious force to recognize...


It's great cuz Cage has been seen as a joke and not to be taken seriously and here he has become Earth Realm's Hero....It's cool.

I like it....but I hope Raiden turns good, again....


.


I hope Rayden stays like that for a bit longer. That’s the change he finally needed to evolve as a character. And I agree with everything about Cage.

King_Of_Edenia Wrote:
Sonya fits that role better than him, but of course she's probably trying to fight Kano, Mavado and Co. along with her bitch, I mean partner Jax.

I thought Fujin would fill Raiden's role while Kung Lao and/or Kai would fill Lui Kang's.


LOL! While I do agree Sonya and other of the main heroes suit the role more, Johnny Cage has earned it and he disserves it. Im glad they gave it to him instead of my favorite character, because he really needed a story boost.

As for Kung Lao or Kai, that would had been seriously boring. We already had Liu Kang, having any of those 2 is practically the same thing. I rather someone very different.

mkflegend Wrote:
Interesting bio indeed, what I'd like to know is this.Cage's visions....are they legit or set up?

I think it's legit honestly, one of those" you've always been a follower with comic relief" kind of warriors.Now it's time for something serious to happen to his storyline in general.

I'm really curious to see how his bio plays out, awesome bio.


Hopefully you are correct.

Shinnok-fan64 Wrote:
i bet everyone it is his doppleganger! His doppleganger is weaker, and he did that on purpose so that if complications occured he could kill it! I almost am sure that its that!


Yeah, I think so too, but I hope its not, but even if it is, Cage rocked. I hate the doppelganger idea. Smells like “Kahns clone” to me.

PsychoFight Wrote:
I don't like how they made Cage sound all superficial - "me me me." I was hoping they'd develop him beyond that. It even sounds like he's kind of jealous of Liu Kang - I don't like that. It's dumb to me.

I much prefer the depth he got in MKT and MK4. But, storyline wise, it's good to see him actually doing something important. I'm actually kind of hoping we see more of him in the future now.


He didn’t sound superficial or arrogant in this bio, at all, IMO.

subzero961 Wrote:
I think Shinnok has been sending Cage these visions in order for him to gather the forces of light for the armageddon battle. Shinnok is masterminding their destruction. Shinnok probably sent his doppleganger or allowed himself to be easily defeated so that Johnny Cage would go back and tell the others.


Could be, would be awesome.

Dismal-Spectre Wrote:
Ah the classic "remove the strongest good guys (Raiden and Liu Kang)" technique.

It's good to see that Johnny's character is becoming more developed as well as others like Nightwolf. Let's face it, with Raiden and Liu Kang team in the previous games saving the world, everyone else had been basically neglected or shunted aside. With those two out of the way temporarily, it allows the other minor characters to develop in personality and even called some to take the leadership role.

Still it'll be a great shock to the good guys to find Raiden actually in working with Shinnok. And most likely they'll have to take him on. Personally I hope Fujin knocks some sense into him. HYAH! tongue


Yeah, I wonder in what bio will we learn about this recent new discovery, of Rayden doing this sort of stupid yet interesting alliances.

im sure the part about his fight with shinnok is probably BS i mean he probably got owned and ran away.

LOL. I doubt it. Clone or not, he kicked his ass....well, sort of. He could had won. But he could also had been defeated, with loads of effort of course, Cage is powerful.

I love the development Cage received... but I feel he's been manipulated by Shinnok, as we will see in Shinnok's bio.

We have a clue in the bio: Quan Chi taking Kahn's fortress? Shinnok said that to mislead Cage and make him think that Shinnok is plotting something.

Shang's Island? What's the significance of that?confused

They fought at the end of MK1...and Sonya and Kano were fighting Goro, too. That's not a rivalry. Scorpion and Sub-Zero also have a screen together, but they're not rivals anymore.

There's no reason for Goro to have been mentioned at all.


And no, I don't think an idiot makes a good "main hero." Not for Mortal Kombat.

mkflegend: I'll have to disagree on that one. It makes sense for Cage to be more serious as he is reflecting on Raiden abandoning the heroes and Liu Kang's spirit having limited staying time in the living world.

ThePredator151 and ErmacMk5: I think you have some good points.

queve: You're my bro and all, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on quite a few things.

I do think it is quite plausible for Shinnok to be sending JC these visions as part of his plan to ensure that the heroes would lead themselves to their utter doom.

It's not just his storyline that people like myself have been complaining about, but also his lack of actual character development. Thankfully, this bio has both of that (FINALLY!).

The length of the battle between JC and Shinnok makes more sense than it being longer. Why would Shinnok (or even his doppelganger) want to waste much of his energy on someone like Johnny Cage, especially since he has much to do in order to set up for the battle in the Edenian crater.

Yes, Johnny Cage is a chosen warrior, but he hasn't really done anything THAT significant to make him really stand out from the rest of the heroes. I don't think JC's knowledge of certain things can help stop Armageddon. If anything, it'll lead up to Armageddon, hence the battle in the intro.

About Onaga's death, expect to see that in Onaga's, Shujinko's and maybe Scorpion's bios. I don't think Vogel messed things up by having Kung Lao, Kitana, Sonya, Jax, and Johnny Cage get killed. If anything, it steered away from the typical victory the heroes get and also kind of shows how much of a difference Liu Kang made when he was around to lead them.

Again, about the whole fight between JC and Shinnok (or the doppelganger), there are more important things for him to do. Although Shinnok isn't as powerful without his Amulet, he still has powers.

I think that having Sonya and JC be together would be out of place unless we have some more MKSM type games that delve into their interaction. To me, I'd rather JC's story close with him going away from his superficial lifestyle, kind of like in his MKA ending.

The JC/Goro thing is even more out of place than the JC/Sonya thing. There has never been a rivalry between the two. JC, along with Sonya and Kano, teamed up to fight Goro around the end of MK1, that's all. If there is suddenly a rivalry between them, it'll be one of the shittiest-developed rivalries and would mess up both characters. If anyone is to fight and take down Goro, it should be Kung Lao.

I don't see how he deserves to be leader, especially since he hasn't really been built up as a character.

I don't see how Sonya would fit the role of main hero. I know she's your top favorite character, but there simply isn't enough to make her believable as one. I mean, Sub-Zero is my top favorite character, but I sure as hell don't want him to be the leader.

I don't see how Kung Lao or Kai being the leader would be boring and redundant. That's one thing I strongly disagree with you on. Kung Lao is/was the reluctant hero, which is much DIFFERENT from Liu Kang, who chose to take part in Shang Tsung's tournament. Kai is simply a character trying to find his path in life. I don't think Kai being the leader would be a good idea as he hasn't been in many games.

Kung Lao, on the other hand, has been in the series since MK2, and given the way things are, it's the perfect chance to set Kung Lao up to being the leader of the heroes. However, JC comes along and steals Kung Lao's glory. I bet we'll get MKSM Kung Lao, which will definitely cement his character.

It's more believable for Shinnok to have a doppelganger than Shao Kahn creating his clone since Shinnok had a hand in the creations of Noob Saibot and Scorpion as well as helping in the resurrection of Sindel.

You know, now I feel real bad for Kung Lao. In MK:DA it seemed they were going to set him up as the new leader after years of him not wanting to be. Then they fucked him over in Deception to make room for Shujinko. Then they screwed him over again messing up his personality in Shaolin Monks. Now they've screwed him yet again by having Johnny Cage leading the heroes (unless Cage really is just being duped by Shinnok and the bad guys).

Poor Kung Lao. He just can't catch a break.

This is exactly what Johnny Cage needed.
I don't see why it's so unbeleivable though.
He's been there since the beginning. He's got experience.
Just because he jokes around does not make him any less formidable.
Think Spiderman, or something.

I like this bio, not my favourite, but a good read.

I would have liked an insight into how he felt after being released from Dragon King's slavery thing, and being freed by Ermac (assuming that happened)

Maybe because its Cage, he only tells certain parts of the stories, leaves out the stuff that reflects badly on him. In Shinnok's bio, we might find out that it was a close fight rather than a 'pummelling'

Kung Lao lost nothing to Johnny Cage.

Though it did seem that he would be the most likely candidate for “next Mk Hero”, it was actually the fans who gave him that un-existing title ever since Mk3, just because they are both shaolin monks, happen to know each other, are friends, fought together, are powerful, etc.

It would be redundant. Kung Lao obviously has a different personality, but theres nothing new that sets him apart from the overall “Liu Kang” feeling. UNLESS they actually make him more like he was in MKSM, which sort of sucked imo. Other then that, its redundant, just boring. It just feels predictable to have him. I rather have Sub-Zero (who suits the role better even though it too is predictable, but at least he rocks), or even Kenshi (despite his rather mean attitude). At least thats how I feel.

That’s why Im glad they chose Cage, even if its all another deception, its cool to see him doing something.

And you said it yourself, he didn’t do much that makes him stand out from the rest of the main heroes, well, in MKA they finally gave him that chance with this, now its his turn to stand out, he is doing it. Oh, and as much as I love Sonya I never said she would or should be the new “Liu Kang” of the heroes, I just said she suits the role just as much as the next guy. If Kung Lao suits it, if Liu Kang suits it, if Sub-Zero suits it, if Kenshi, if Kitana suits it after all they have done, Sonya suits it as well. That’s what I meant.

And yeah, I will be an immortal Sonya/Cage shipper till the end. I just love that couple. grin

And finally, though you are right it was cool to see the evil guys (Onaga) win during the start of MKD and end of MKDA, the way it was done was poor and well, lame. Anything but the death-resurrection-enchantment-free and don’t talk about anything that happened thing would had been better. Their deaths were pointless unless he tells us something we don’t know, but after seeing this bio and the bios of Jax and Kitana in MKU, it seems that their deaths were just that, now they are free and they are moving on, no effects.....so far.

Now, if being killed made Cage have visions, Jax be super angry, etc, then it rocks, but so far....no clue. So the deaths to my eyes were pointless, just stupid.

That’s why I dislike it. The death/resurrection crap is way too overused.

I like the biography - it show's that Cage always accepted his roll as a supporter, and that's why we haven't had much of a real great story to him.

He's a comic relief, yes, but also a great character. I will gladly accept him as the new hero in MK, believe it or not. He's old school - been through all the experiences - no doubt he's learned enough to take this position.

I don't think they necessarily fucked him over in Deception. I see it as his attempt at trying to be the new leader failing and perhaps leading to more doubt in himself. And then Armageddon would be him overcoming that doubt and truly becoming something of a main hero.

To me, the real fuck up for Kung Lao was with MKSM.

I don't really recall the MK fans giving Kung Lao the "unexisting" title of "next MK hero" after MK3. When MKDA came out, sure, I guess some would say that.

He has a different feel from Liu Kang. Just because he's a Shaolin warrior monk like Liu doesn't make him redundant, especially with him abandoning his Shaolin beliefs. Making him more like his MKSM self only further ruins his character.

Johnny Cage becoming leader all of a sudden is just silly, and why would the others accept him becoming leader anyway? Even if he did supposedly learn about Shinnok's plot, what does he have that makes him a leader?

I don't see how the idea of Sub-Zero or even Kenshi becoming the new leader would be predictable, and I certainly don't see how they are better suited for the role. Sub-Zero may be one of the characters that are part of the main Earthrealm heroes, but he has his own story arc. I don't see how Kenshi has a "mean" attitude. He simply doesn't want to really get himself involved in the so-called affairs of "good" and "evil".

It's more than just JC not doing much to stand out from the others. His problem also lies in his great lack of character development. Sure, people knew that there was more to him that just some egotistical action star. However, that was never really delved into and properly developed, thus JC's redundant and stagnant character.

I understand where you're coming from with the stuff around the end of MKD. It would've been better if some of the heroes stayed under Onaga's control like Sonya and Jax. Also, I agree with you on the reflection thing. I too feel it's needed for them to reflect on their experiences as Onaga's slave.

I doubt Cage's visions came from his death.

I agree that the death/resurrection crap is way too overused. That's why in MK, death needs to have meaning and consequence, or it'll be a lot like DBZ.

The thing is in Deception they tried to push Shujinko as the "new Liu Kang" and even giving him both Kung Lao's fighting styles, which kind of pissed on Kung Lao. Of course, the Shujinko plan didn't pan out.....I agree they should use that, by having Kung Lao feel his failure to defeat Shang Tsung is confirmation that he is no leader and in Armageddon have finally overcome that and prove himself.

Hopefully his bio, when released, will be along those lines.

I do know where you're coming from with Shujinko. Thankfully in MKA, Kung Lao got the much better deal..heh, heh, heh...tongue

Glad you like my idea. I think his role as the leader should be a one-time only thing, however. He could act as a mentor/role model to future Earthrealm heroes in the next-gen story, kind of like what you did in your MK: Rebirth story.

The "minion" in that portal was me. I was on my way to tell stryker that he should strap c4 on his chest and threating midway to have him in mk8. Because ed said he will most likey not return.wink

but i still want to know why raiden was running on the side of light, and when was johnny cage physic? maybe the beating from taven with a last minute plea turned him back. if that is right, then cage may have saved Raiden from shinnoks fate. his is all just guess, but seeing that cage had done what he had only been able to do may have made him go, 'okay maybe i'll give thin one and only ONE more chance.' nothing yeat points to it but you never know. i really want to see raiden side choice explained. i'm glad cage is a serious player and not just there for relief. i want shujinko's next, because i want to know how long it was between mkd and mka

I don't think that cage should be the new leader, I'd give that role to Ermac personally.

I mean I know Cage's storyline is obviously becoming more serious for a change but leader?I think that's a bit much personally in this stage.

Now for the people here that think it's a "set up" that'sfine to think that possibility, however I just realized something that brings questions like this.

If shinnok IS the one messing around with Cage's head, then why did it take him sooo long to manipulate one of earth's warriors just now when he could have done this a long time ago.Just think about it....

And I know this is a long shot, but since this theory has been thrown around of late.I wouldn't be surprised if Raiden is some how behind this, remember people...Raiden was using Kang's undead boby as his puppet to kill evil doers, what's to say Raiden isn't sending Cage visions to do his dirty work?

I think it's a good theory honestly or at least one that can't be eliminated and we all know Raiden is playing Shinnok or attempting to anyway.

Why Ermac?
Hmm, well I can't say Johnny Cage really fits as the leader of the group.

Though, I wonder. Perhaps his "I beat Shinnok without even breaking a sweat" might just be him exaggerating. And him having visions are... very odd.

Well, as screwed over as Kung Lao gets, I got to say. I find Scorpion to be the most screwed over character. The MK Team's had SEVERAL opportunities over the recent years to redeem his story and yet they fail EVERY time.
