LIU KANG Art Scale 1/10 – Iron Studios

Mortal Kombat is a martial arts tournament that happens between different realms or dimensions from generation to generation, requiring ten consecutive victories for the winner to have a chance to dominate the realm hosting the competition. As a conqueror, Shao Kahn seeks to expand Outworld’s realm by forcibly taking over other realms, striving to win Mortal Kombat when held in the realm known as Earthrealm, a place humans know as Earth. One of the series’ most popular characters, Liu Kang is an original character, debuting in the first Mortal Kombat arcade game. Gradually portrayed as the main hero, Liu Kang was champion in the first four Mortal Kombat tournaments, with his greatest rival being the sorcerer Shang Tsung. Considered the greatest threat to Emperor Shao Kahn’s plans, Liu Kang was an orphan taken in by the Shaolin Temple of the Order of Light, hidden in the mountains of Honan Province, China. Trained in the teachings of the Great Kung Lao, Liu Kang’s martial arts talent caught the attention of Lord Raiden. Seeing the young monk warrior as Earthrealm’s last hope, Raiden took Liu Kang to meet the legendary martial arts master from Outworld, Bo ‘Rai Cho, to further his development. After several years of training, Liu Kang’s training was complete, and he was then enrolled in the top-secret White Lotus Society, a warrior order created by Raiden to defend Earthrealm.
