![]() ![]() Beforehand, Havik had brought Kabal back from the brink of death, then instructed him to restore the same Black Dragon that Kabal had long tried to disassociate himself from. This angle briefly continues in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), when Kabal hunts down and defeats Mavado, and takes back the swords. However, the assault had also resulted in a change for the better as Kabal abandoned his life of crime in order to fight alongside the Earth warriors in successfully thwarting Kahn and his forces.Īs was the case with the debuting characters from MK3 and onwards (save for Quan Chi), Kabal is not playable in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (2002), but he has a small role in the game's storyline when he is ambushed in battle by series newcomer Mavado-a leading member of the Red Dragon, who seek to eliminate their bitter rival, the Black Dragon-and is believed killed Mavado then steals Kabal's hookswords to keep as his personal trophies. This consequently made him a target of Kahn's extermination squads, who subjected him to a vicious attack that left Kabal badly maimed and forcing him thereafter to rely on artificial respirators for survival, all while wearing a mask to hide his newly disfigured face. Kabal's soul was spared, meaning he was now one of Raiden's chosen warriors who would defend Earth. Making his debut in 1995's Mortal Kombat 3, Kabal was a member of the Black Dragon crime syndicate alongside Kano, until Outworld emperor Shao Kahn's invasion took Earthrealm by storm. He has played a fairly scant role in both the overall series continuity as well as in alternative Mortal Kombat-related media and merchandising. ContentsĬonsidered one of the most powerful characters in Mortal Kombat 3, Kabal has received mostly positive fan and critical reception in this regard, but response to his Fatality finishing moves has been decisively mixed. Kabal returns to the side of good in the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot, again having quit the Black Dragon and fighting alongside Kurtis Stryker to defend Earthrealm against Kahn's forces. In the three-dimensional Mortal Kombat games, he returns to the side of evil by reforming the Black Dragon and feuding with Mavado, leader of their bitter rival, the Red Dragon. Kabal was introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 as a former member of Kano's Black Dragon criminal organization who had reformed as a force for good and thus became one of the chosen defenders of Earthrealm, while notably suffering an attack by Outworld emperor Shao Kahn's extermination squads that left his face disfigured and thus concealed behind a mask. Kabal is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise, created for Midway Games by Ed Boon and John Tobias. ![]()
