Characters that were entirely new, thought up by me:
- Theia, Goddess of Light
- Luna, Goddess of the Moon. However, in MK1, Reptile says "Look to La Luna"
Characters from the 90's Malibu comics:
- Abacus
- Zaggot
From Egypt:
- Ra
From Greek:
- Gaia, also mentioned (spelled Gaea) in the 1995 MK novel
From the 1995 MK Novel:
- T'ien, from one of the dozens of religions across ancient China
Deleted MK characters:
- Baphomet
From Mythologies: Sub-Zero:
- Water God
- Fire God
- Fujin. I named the Water and Fire Gods Aegaen and Hephaestus, after Greek mythology. Mortal Kombat has never quite had an "ae" spelling in a character's name before, so maybe this is cool.
From MK1: Raiden. MK4: Shinnok. MK9: Female Elder God, now named "Izanami", as in Japanese Shinto, Izanami-no-mikoto. She, plus male Izanagi-no-mikoto, formed all the islands in the Earth (also mentioned in the MK novel).
From MK Annihilation: Shinnok being the father of Raiden.
Look up Izanami-no-mikoto and you will find an ancient Japanese picture of her and Izanagi-no-mikoto standing in the sky as giants, similar to my comic strip, but I didn't see that picture until after I'd started making my comic. Hilarious that I would accidentally get Izanami correct. (I used the appearance of Frost, slightly altered, because she happens to look similar to the MK9 Female Elder God.)
