herself as a man was ranked fourth by John Harty of WhatCulture in his 2015 selection of the series' ten "Most Badass Backstories", calling it "a concept that speaks to a person having some serious balls". Kobra Voiced by: Alex Brandon (MK:A), Yuri Lowenthal (MKL:SB)Kobra is a martial artist who serves the Black Dragon clan. Once a disciplined fighter, he turns criminal after he starts using his training to kill others. His bloodlust catches the attention of Kabal, who makes him the second recruit of his clan in Deception. Kobra appears as Taven's first opponent in the Konquest mode of Armageddon, where he unsuccessfully attempts to prevent Taven from crossing a bridge. In Mortal Kombat X, Erron Black claims to have killed him, but this is unconfirmed. The character was named "Ken Masters" while Deception was in a beta phase of the production due to his physical resemblance to Street Fighter character of the same name. Ed Boon described Kobra in Deception as "the simple character that everybody can pick up and play" with easy-to-execute special moves. GamePlayBook placed Kobra sixth in their 2010 listing of the 10 worst Mortal Kombat characters, unfavorably comparing him to Ken. He was also ranked as the fifth worst Mortal Kombat character by ScrewAttack, who described him as "a generic white guy". However, Den of Geek rated Kobra 35th in their 2015 ranking of the 64 series characters, calling him an "evil Johnny Cage". Onaga Voiced by: Nigel Casey (MK:D, MK:A) Onaga is the final boss of Deception. Also known as the Dragon King, he was the emperor of Outworld until he was poisoned by Shao Kahn. Resurrected in Deception, Onaga derives his power from the Kamidogu, six mystical relics that contain the essence of each main realm. Unbeknownst to Onaga, however, he is being manipulated by the One Being into unmaking reality through the Kamidogu. The Konquest mode of Deception reveals how he manipulated Shujinko into collecting the Kamidogu for him under the identity of his avatar Damashi. He is ultimately defeated by Shujinko, but returns in Armageddon, where he begrudgingly enters an alliance with Shao Kahn and other major villains to destroy Blaze. Onaga does not appear in the rebooted timeline, although he is occasionally referenced. The character was ranked 39th on UGO's 2012 list of the top 50 Mortal Kombat fighters. Shujinko Voiced by: Max Crawford (MK:D, MK:A) Shujinko is a
