Quan Chi (Second Timeline)

==Summary==
Originally a Netherrealm demon, Quan Chi evolved into one of the most powerful sorcerers in the realms. He serves the High Lord Shinnok, who was imprisoned in the Netherrealm by his fellow Elder Gods. Twenty-five years ago, Quan Chi helped Shinnok escape his hellish prison. Together they waged war on an Earthrealm weakened by the conflict with Outworld. When Shinnok was defeated, Quan Chi was driven underground. He continues to manipulate events from parts unknown.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , with boosts
Name: Quan Chi
Origin: Mortal Kombat
Gender: Male
Age: Over 1000 years old
Classification: Netherrealm Sorcerer, formerly a demon (likely oni) prior to his evolution
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts (Employs a vague form of Chinese martial arts as his fighting style), Weapon Mastery (Skilled in wielding his sword), Magic (Arguably one of the most skilled sorcerers in MK alongside Shang Tsung. Can imbue his attacks with dark magic. Recited an incantation that released Shinnok from his own amulet), Acrobatics (Surface Running. Can run off on walls before leaping away from it), Longevity (Likely has a long lifespan as a Netherrealm demon), Can interact with his past self, but will share with it irreparable damage and death (As shown throughout MK11, although he may likely scale due to not existing outside the normal laws of time), Empowerment (Relies on the presence of Shinnok as a power source), Bone Manipulation (Can create solid energy skulls and skeletal creatures to attack his enemies. He may stack these skulls into a wall to block incoming attacks. These skulls can be animated to chomp down on the opponent), Mind Manipulation (Can force an opponent into a magical trance to control them. He may use the Amulet of Shinnok to control the opponent with a close range blast), Energy Projection (Can conjure a rune on the floor that fires a rising beam of light to strike the opponent), Summoning (Can instantly summon a variety of familiars [bats that spit liquid fire and demonic steeds] and his servants [the Revenants of slain Earthrealm and Edenian warriors] to aid him), Necromancy (Can revive the dead into Revenants once he takes their souls. Revenants are undead warriors whose souls are bound to his service. In the middle of combat, he may reanimate skeleton warriors to aid him), Teleportation (Can instantly teleport by himself or through the use of portals. He may create a Soulnado [with sufficient prep and assistance] which is presumably a rift to Outworld that drains souls on a very large scale), Telekinesis (Can move his opponent without physical contact), Illusion Creation (Created a fake image depicting the elder Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei slaughtering the Shirai Ryu and Scorpion's family), Telepathy (While weakened, he used his telepathy to communicate with D'Vorah through a hologram), Deconstruction (Can magically disintegrate his opponent into a skeleton), Healing (Managed to accelerate Shao Kahn's regeneration process)
Attack Potency: Small Building level (Heavily weakened without Shinnok as a power source. Can trade blows with the likes of Sonya Blade in this state), Large Building level+ with boosts (Becomes more powerful when Shinnok is in his presence, or when he is simply not sealed away in an object or another dimension. With his superior as his power source, he was able to harm and restrain Raiden with both magic and physical attacks), ignores durability with dark sorcery (Can slice people with portals, magically disintegrate their flesh, hypnotize opponents against their will, summon projectiles that can phase into his enemy before bursting from within, etc.)
Speed: Peak Human with Hypersonic reactions and combat speed (Reacted to gunfire from handguns and assault rifles. Scales to Kabal, who can slice bullets), likely has Massively Hypersonic+ reactions and combat speed with boosts (Scales to Raiden)
Lifting Strength: Class 5 
Striking Strength: Small Building level, Large Building level+ with boosts
Durability: Small Building level, Large Building level+ with boosts
Stamina: Superhuman, likely much higher in the presence of Shinnok
