While Rain fans may be annoyed that he was snubbed, saving Rain for a possible sequel movie could work in the favor of Mortal Kombat's resident thunder god, Raiden. It was revealed by Mortal Kombat (2021) director Simon McQuoid that Rain was originally set to be part of the new movie, only to get removed from plans due to the sense that his inclusion wasn't doing anything to move the story forward.

Even worse, not only was he part of a terrible movie, but Rain was made into a complete joke, appearing for mere minutes, before being killed in one blow by Shao Kahn, his own boss, due to not torturing and killing Kabal and Stryker after capturing them. It wasn't until the home console versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 that he became playable.Īfter that inauspicious video game debut, Rain went on to appear in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the sequel so famously bad that it killed the MK movie franchise for more than two decades. Instead, Rain was an elaborate red herring that co-creator Ed Boon threw in as a Prince joke, hence his purple color scheme. He actually made his debut in the game Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 although, oddly enough, not as a playable character. Poor Rain just can't seem to catch a break.

Here are all of the characters that can perform Brutalities. Despite that, Shao Kahn and D'Vorah’s finishers don’t count as Brutalities in game. When D'Vorah/Wretch kills an opponent, the music of a Brutality being performed plays. Shao Kahn/Konqueror's special attack 2 has an instant kill, which can be performed mid-match and doesn't require the opponent being the last one in the fight. Jade/Assassin cannot evade Brutalities if she is at low enough health. Brutalities are a new mechanic introduced alongside the Lin Kuei Tower which the character can only perform on an opponent at 25% Health or less and also being the last character of the match.
