Liu Kang
In the Midway Comics, Liu Kang reprises his role from the first game's prologue, focusing first on dealing with the criminal Kano. "Mortal Kombat II Collector's Edition" starts with Liu Kang winning the first tournament and then meeting the ninja Sub-Zero in the aftermath. When clashing the other realm's forces, Raiden instructs Liu Kang to enter into the next competition. A prologue of "Mortal Kombat 4" was also written, dealing with Liu Kang and his new ally Kai as they prepare to face Shinnok's forces.
