Johnny Cage

Johnny Cage is a movie star who is a master of martial arts. Although he is a primary character, he's more of a comic relief in contrast to the stoicism of Liu Kang. He jokes around a lot and can be a little full of himself every now and then. He is a good friend to Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Sonya Blade.

In interviews during the development of http://bestuff.com/Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks it was stated by Ed Boon and several other staff members that Cage is indeed considered the comic relief character of Mortal Kombat. This is also noticeable throughout the series as Cage as often been the root of many jokes by the team working on the series (such as his MK4 ending and his storyline in http://bestuff.com/Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance).
