Best: Kung Lao
- Clan: White Lotus Society
Kung Lao is a descendant of the “Great Kung Lao,” one of Earthrealm’s Mortal Kombat Tournament champions. He is always trying to live up to the legacy of his ancestor, to a point that he gets in his own way. He is constantly trying to prove himself equal to Liu Kang, making him come off as immature and conceited. A Shaolin Monk, Lao is first and foremost a pacifist but will go to battle and end lives if he must. Known for his razor-rimmed hat and impressive martial arts abilities, he is incredibly difficult to defeat.
