Zombie Liu Kang Cosplay Shared By Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Ed Boon
An impressive cosplay of Liu Kang’s zombie form from Mortal Kombat Deception has caught the eye of Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, who recently shared a picture of it on social media. Boon is pretty well known for these kinds of posts, often dropping hints about possible DLC guest characters and sharing interesting tidbits about various aspects of the Mortal Kombat lore — including the origin of Scorpion’s iconic “Get Over Here” catchphrase. Ed Boon has even weighed in on fan opinions surrounding Mortal Kombat, such as a hypothetical Mortal Kombat “What If” series and the idea of The Miz playing Johnny Cage in a future MK film.
Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat's main protagonist Liu Kang has had many forms throughout the franchise’s 30 years of existence, from his humble beginnings as a Shao Lin monk tasked with preventing an invasion from the monstrous forces of Outworld, to a corrupted Revenant in the service of the evil Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat X, and finally Raiden’s successor as a fire-controlling Elder God at the conclusion of 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11. However, one of Liu Kang’s most infamous and bizarre variants came in 2004’s Mortal Kombat: Deception, which saw the champion of Earthrealm resurrected as an undead minion of a now-evil Raiden after Liu Kang was killed by Shang Tsung at the end of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. This Zombie version of Liu Kang would return in Mortal Kombat Armageddon, while his lingering spirit partnered with Kitana in an attempt to rejoin his body and become a noble protector of Earthrealm once more.
