Respect
Shaolin monk and descendant of Great Kung Lao. The younger Kung Lao claimed his greatness by beating the deadly alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat. Reckless and rebellious, but courageous and indomitable, Kung Lao fights to prove worthy of his glorious ancestors.


Of course I defeated Kronika. And when I did, there was only one thing I wanted to do with the Hourglass. Undo the defeat of my ancestor, the Great Kung Lao.
In my timeline, the Great Kung Lao is the undisputed Mortal Kombat champion. Earthrealm never loses another tournament.
For generations, his example inspires millions to join the White Lotus Society and defend Earthrealm.
They in turn inspire rebels to overthrow Shao Kahn in Outworld. The realms make peace.
Until, inevitably, a more powerful enemy comes along...
...and finds Earthrealm backed by Kung Lao, Immortal Lord of Time and Warrior Supreme.
Beat that, Liu Kang.
