Background

Orphaned at a young age, Liu Kang was taken in and raised by the Order of Light's Shaolin Monks, deep within the mountains of Canada. Lord Raiden came to the Shaolin Temple and upon seeing Liu Kang's talent for martial arts, he was convinced that he was Earthrealm's last hope.

So he took the young warrior monk and had him trained by the legendary Outworld martial arts master, Bo' Rai Cho. After several years of training, he was enrolled in the secret White Lotus Society, which Raiden had created to protect Earthrealm. With Shao Kahn just one victory away from conquering their world, Liu Kang was chosen by his Shaolin Grandmaster to defeat Shang Tsung. While he was successful, his battle was far from over and he would continue to protect Earthrealm from constant threats.

Revenant Liu Kang

After Quan Chi resurrected Liu Kang as a Revenant, Liu Kang became a malevolent warrior and gained the power of absorbing souls to make himself stronger.

Fire God Liu Kang

In the events of Mortal Kombat 11, when Liu Kang's Revenant present-self merged with the past-selves of both him and Raiden, Liu Kang became a Fire God. Fire God Liu Kang has the powers of manipulating fire, such as shooting fireballs, enveloping his hands and feet in fire for greater damage, and creating a winged dragon made out of fire, manipulating lightning, such as shooting lightning bolts, literally charging his attacks with electricity, and creating lightning strikes, flight, opening portals, and is immune to time manipulation. Liu Kang was able to destroy an entire army of Netherrealm demons with a dive-bomb that caused a massive explosion. Fire God Liu Kang has the power to defeat Cetrion, the Elder Goddess of Life, Kronika, the Titaness and Keeper of Time, and Shang Tsung, Liu Kang's long-time enemy, and the creator of the Crown of Kronika.

In the New Era starting with Mortal Kombat 1, Liu Kang is separate from Raiden, who is human but gained electric powers when he was given an amulet forged by the Elder Gods, by Liu Kang. Liu Kang has lived for eons, allowing him to use the Hourglass to create the New Era. Liu Kang has control over holy fire. He can shoot swirls of orange and blue fire, shoot barrages of fireballs, envelop his hands and feet in both kinds of fire, teleport with fire, and controlling orange and blue fire dragons. Liu Kang can also fly, open portals, survive in space, and create black holes.
