Shao Kahn and Sindel were married. Sindel is Kitana's mother. Liu Kang and Kung Lao are distant cousins, both being decendants of the great Kung Lao. What else? I've heard people call Cyrax and Sektor brothers, but no confirmation of that. The movie's claim that Raiden and Kahn are brothers. Since Kahn created Ermac from the souls of warriors, would Kahn be the father to Ermac's physical form? If so, than Mileena is his sister. In this official book that came out to promote MK3 (Not a strategy guide; just a promotional book) it said Sheeva, Goro, and Kintaro were cousins. I've also read in EGM that Sheeva was one of Goro's 7 wives. I was bored so I just thought about this stuff, anything to add? I think some of these relationships could be involved in the "Deception" In MK 6

It never said Baraka and Mileena were married. I'm pretty sure it was Shang Tsung who created Mileena. Liu Kang and Kung Lao are not related. They never said that in any game. It was only in the movies.

Yes Liu Kang and Kung Lao are related. In the Early Mortal Kombat 1 literature, it said that Liu Kang was the great Kung Lao's decendant, and Kung Lao is also a descendant of the Great Kung Lao. Thus, they are distant cousins.

Early Mortal Kombat I literature? The instruction booklets? I checked them anyway and the storyline FAQ at gamefaqs. No mention of Liu Kang being related to Kung Lao anywhere. And in MK2, the Kung Lao we know is described as the "last descedent of the original Kung Lao."

Kung Lao and Liu kang are both descendants of the original Kung Lao who was killed by Goro many years previous to Mortal Kombat 1 so they are indeed very distant relations.
Shang Tsung created Mileena's human form to look like Kitana, but she was a member of baraka's race before that anyway I think.

Fujin and Raiden are brothers.
In the movies, Shinnok is Shao Khans father, so that would make him Raiden and Fujin's father too if it is true. But i'd go with games and nott he movies and theres been no mntion of Shinnok-Shao Khan-Raiden-Fujin relationship.

I don't think Liu Kang is counted as Kung Lao's (the original) descendant any more. I think this was overwritten by the team in MK2 when the present Kung Lao was introduced.

I could be wrong, but MK1's the only game to mention the Liu Kang/original Kung Lao relation. And other things in the storyline for MK1 have been overwritten in later games.

For example, MK1 said that Scorpion got the yellow outfit when he was ressurected to mock the Lin Kuei. But we're shown in MKM that Scorpion wore yellow before he was killed.

First of all you shouldn't relate any relation to any of the movies.

Yes sub zero classic and original are brothers
Baraka and mileena are not married. I don't think it was ever officially stated that mileena was apart of his race but i'm sure we've all seen the lower half of her face so its safe to say that she was of his race. And in her ending in MK2 she has a love interest in him and wanted to rule with him as king and queen. Now only someone of the same race could love baraka. So yes she is one of em. How they can kiss with all the seemingly metal sharp teeth is confusing to me.

Shang Tsung was Mileena's creator. She was created to serve shao kahn as an observer of kitana after she was seen talking to an earth warrior. So although she serves kahn, shang is her creator and "Father".

Shao kahn did take sindel as his bride after he killed Jerrod. And sindel is kitana's mother.

Yes it was written that Liu kang was a descendant of kung lao along with the original kung lao. I don't think it was ever officially overwritten. But what red said about scorpions costume is correct. So liu's story could have been overwritten, but it would be nice to still think that he is a descendant of the only other real champion of mortal kombat. It would also be nice to think that scorpions clan wears yellow to mock the lin kuei since it was created by takeda the japanese born lin kuei member who left them.

Cyrax and Sektor are not brothers. They are just apart of the same clan. I'm more curious as to what their special abilities were before they were automated. Sub has ice powers, smoke can transform himself into smoke(which he may no longer be able to do since he is part machine). So what are Cyrax's and sektors?

Has anyone play MK special forces? I heard there was a person named tremor that was a lin kuei. What did that person look like?

Didnt it say in kung laos mkda ending that kung lao was lui kangs brother?

remeber they are monks

monks call other monks brother and shit

kinda like how nuns are sisters and priests are fathers

where is that mentioned?

Khan didnt make Mileena, Shang Tsung did so Mileena and Ermac arent brother and sister

ErmacMk5 Wrote: MKKitana Wrote: Fujin and Raiden are brothers. where is that mentioned?

Good question. The only place I remember it being mentioned is in the MK4 guidebook and I don't believe it meant brother as in a bloodkin sense but as a brotherhood/club/etc. sense. Then again its been so long since I've play MK4 I've forgotten most of the beginnings/endings. Then they do have some things in common which may or may not hint of them actually being bloodkin brothers. They are both weather dieties, white hair, white eyes, both of Earthrealm, both seem to be mortal friendly, etc. Then again the only other dieties we have seen are the other elemental dieties of MK:Mythologies and of course the fallen Elder God Shinnok and then there is the idea that their 'human' form could be something they made up to better work with mortals. Great I'm rambling again....

Wrong section, son.

I have a question,are Sub-Zero and Frost related in any way?

cartmansp Wrote: I have a question,are Sub-Zero and Frost related in any way?

That's part of the mystery of Frost. No one knows if they are related and if they are in what way.

Liu Kang and Kung Lao are sworn brothers to the White Lotus and the Shaoilin. That is the reason they are mentioned as brothers, they are not blood related by sworn by oath to be brothers.

Kitana and Mileena are related because Mileena is a clone of Kitana. They may not be sisters but Mileena did come from Kitana, Kitana could probably be Mileena's mother?

Raiden and Fujin are brothers also, I have a theory on that. Mabey Raiden and Fujin are brothers because they come from the same origin. Both the Thunder and the Wind come from the Earth and are considered to be elements, mabey Raiden and Fujin could be related to the god of Fire and Water?
