Johnny Cage
In the "Mortal Kombat" reboot (2011), which takes place in a new timeline, Baraka appears as a recurring foe in the story mode; wherein he fights and loses to Johnny Cage, Cyrax, Jax, and Jade. When Shao Khan is seemingly killed, he argues that Mileena should be the heir to his throne and leads his Tarkatan armies in an invasion of Earthrealm.
