As Earth's sworn protector, Rayden finds himself banished in the merger
between Earth and Outworld. When the Elder Gods refuse to assist him in aiding
the Earth, he is forced to take matters into his own hands. He transforms himse
lf into a mortal warrior to fight alongside his human comrades - this time risk
ing his place in the pantheon of gods and giving up his own immortality.

Place of Origin: The Heavens

Alignment: Good

Allies: Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kai, Fujin

Foes: Quan Chi, Shang Tsung, Shinnok, Dragonking

As a last resort against the Dragon King's advance, Raiden sacrificed himself by releasing his godlike essence and there by

creating an intense ethereal blast. The Dragon King was unaffected, however, and continues to threaten the Realms.
