Kobra is cool just cuz he has kickboxing and stuff. But I would definetely have to go with Johnny Cage. He just has this aura around him. He is a good fighter with good special moves. Yet in the movie, Linden Ashby portrayed him perfectly. When i think of JC, i think of the JC from the movie and I gain a whole new respect for him. He's a valiant fighter with a good sense of humor.

Y'know, I was gonna say Kobra at first. Kobra has a cool look to him. Plus I like how he doesn't really have any gimics or anything. He's just a straight down fighter. And Cage annoyed me for the most part. The whole idea that he was as an actor trying to prove himself and gain fame just turned me off, plus he seemed kinda conceited to me.
However, gpac200 made me remember why Cage was cool in the first place. He did bring humor and seemed fairly carefree, and I wish there were more fighters like that. So my vote was originally gonna be Kobra, but I have to go with Cage. I mean, Kobra was cool in The Karate Kid and all, but Cage had the balls to punch... well... balls

i would have to go with kobra. i dont like the teams idea of rippin off characters images to make new ones and hand me down weapons but cage's story is all washed up. im tired of seeing people die and come back die and come back over and over. They need fresh material or atleast when they have a character make him/her so that they have an important role in the mk story not just throw em in there coz they look cool for one game....johnny was part of the MK history but with his constant death after every kombat and resurrection.....you just gotta let it go at some point....maybe someday down the line they can bring him and others back in perhaps a Mortal Kombat Legends game where you have all the legendary characters not in circuit. I dont like rip offs but hey kobra is better that tired cage.

I personally prefer Kobra over Johnny Cage, Johnny Cage was cool like... six years ago, but then they fucked up when he died, came back to life, he died, came back to life, and AGAIN, he died, he STILL comes back to life. That's just fucked up. As for Kobra, I think it's awesome that he joined the Black Dragon, but they could've made his special moves a little better though. His apperance is 10 times cooler than Cage's, I also think it's awesome how the Mortal Kombat team decided to add a kickboxer to the game. ( I just hope his ending isn't true ) he's way too damn awesome to have died already!!

Excuse me, but it sounds to me like you guys are missing some important details in the Mk storyline. Can you 2 tell me exactly .WHEN did Cage die SO MANY times????
Right, you cant, because he actually only died ONCE in Mk3, and probably he died in MKD.
Technically, Cage never died, that story was poorly “fixed” by Vogel in MKDA when he revealed to us that Johnny Cage actually died in a movie he was making called “MK: The resurrection of J.C”
The problem is, most fans don’t realize this detail. The team never wanted to kill Cage, but because the actor who played him in Mk1-Mk2 did some stupid commercial, he upseted Midway and was fired, reason why he was not in Mk3 (they had to kill him).
Its still unclear who truly died in MKD. The storyline has so many plot holes, we only know for sure that Kitana was killed and resurrected.
So, Johnny Cage never died, but if you actually want to count the times he did die, its only 1 2 if he actually died in MKD. But does that matter??? Scorpion has died twice as well, and his story was crap until MKD, so .I don’t see whats the big deal.
Now that I taught you guys some brief MK history, back to the subject:
I choose Johnny Cage over Kobra any day. Like someone said, Kobra is so insignificant when compared to Cage in every single aspect.
Johnny Cage is one of the main originals and heroes of the game, he plays a huge role in the protection of earth in the story of Mk, weather some people take him seriously or not.
His look, powers, fatalities, even story is 100% original. He is better then Kobra.
Don’t get me wrong, I DON’T dislike Kobra at all. Actually, I like him a lot. I love his psycho story, he is like .a crazed sadistic psycho guy. His alternate kicks ass (his primary look is too simple and too much like Ken kind a lame).
Kobra looks like a 1-2 time game character. Another Hsu Hao.
Johnny Cage looks like a character that will stay in Mk for a very long time.
Johnny Cage wins.

Even though I prefer Kobra and I hate to admit it, Johnny cage is an integral part of MK just like Kung Lao, Kitana and Shang Tsung.
I hope Kobra and Kira don't become one time caracters, even though some of them are in ours minds for the good reasons like Reiko and Rain, while others are forgotten(thinks) like Kai,and as Tanya kinda of was and others are rebembered 'cause we hate tehm, ex:Stryker and Mokap(they look kind of alike in a way...?)

Johnny Cage.
Kobra is a cheap rip off of Ken in street fighter 2. It also to easy to cheese with Kobra.
