Johnny Cage

==How Johnny Cage joined the Tourney==
Johnny Cage was a struggling Hollywood action movie star who wanted to get his fame back. Originally entering the Mortal Kombat tournament to display his fighting skills and prove himself to skeptical movie critics and the movie-viewing public, who believed Cage was nothing more than an actor who relied too much on stunts and camera work and was not a real proficient fighter. Eventually, Cage becomes one of the most important defenders of Earthrealm. Though he occasionally lapses into his former selfish and materialistic ways, he has always been a brave and loyal warrior for Earthrealm. 
Recovering from D'Vorah's insects in the battle to save Earthrealm from Shinnok, Johnny receives an assignment to investigate a con artist who said he was a shaman named Deacon Blackfire. Hoping to make of movie of the events, Johnny accepts.
