Shang Tsung

The demon sorcerer Shang Tsung is the monster behind Mortal Kombat, he commands his forces on a mysterious island where kombatants fight to the death. Those he defeats he consumes there souls thus possessing the fallen warrior life essence. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa played an outstanding role of Shang in the Mortal Kombat movie. Shang is resurrected in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm by Shao Kahn's Shadow Priests. Shang is also one of the main antagonist in Mortal Kombat Konquest. Shang Tsung's figure is a 1992 Ninja Force Dojo from the neck down and features Dojo's same action attack feature. Shang includes a short sword, and Dojo's chain weapon missing the string. Shang Tsung also includes a black cloth robe which was rare among action figures of that time but would also be included with the Scorpion, Sub Zero movie action figures. In my Joe-verse Shang is head of the Black Dragon crime syndicate and operates out of Japan. Guile and Sonya Blade are partnered up and sent to Japan by Gen. Hawk to track down the Black Dragon. While Shang has no supernatural powers he commands a powerful organization and has years of martial arts experience that would make Genghis Khan appear like a Boy Scout.
