Cole Young

Befitting his upbringing as an orphan on the rough South Side of Chicago, Cole’s initial fighting style manifested as an extremely aggressive and furious style of mixed martial arts that focused on him pounding his opponents into submission. Early on in his fighting career, this style served him especially well and allowed him to defeat former MMA champion Eddy Tobias and claim his title. Over the years, however, Cole’s style began to become less effective as newer opponents began to take advantage of his form’s weaknesses like its lack of defense and poor battlefield control ability. After training at Raiden’s temple and realizing the fuel to his arcana is in fact his desire to not simply win but to protect others though, Cole’s style shifts to incorporate more dodging and blocking as well as moves from Okinawan Kobudō, a martial art that emphasizes weapon usage. This transition in fighting style is aided by his arcana, which manifests as a kind of extremely durable metal skin which can absorb the kinetic energy of his opponent’s strikes to empower his own blows, as well as converting shored energy into heat which adds and extra burning element to his strikes. Said accumulated force siphoned into his armor can even be used to other effects, effects which can also generate weapons in the form of both normal and bladed tonfas from his arms.Superhuman Physical Characteristics - Cole Young is much stronger, faster, tougher and more durable than normal humans. He can easily lift and throw a person with one hand, withstand powerful blows and falls from heights. Endurance - Mortal Kombat participants typically tolerate pain very well, ignore wounds, and can continue to fight even after receiving serious damage. Fighting style - Cole is a professional MMA fighter, he fights well and masters the technique of fighting on the ground with painful and chokeholds. However, with the acquisition of armor and weapons, his fighting style completely changed, as Yang was able to take many blows without harm, even if attacked with a weapon, and counterattack in return. Fortunately, the sharpness of the blades made it possible to literally gut Goro in a few strokes. Arcana - the sign of the dragon bestows upon its bearer magical abilities unique to each champion. It is they who allow the chosen ones to fight on equal terms with fighters from other worlds who are physically superior to humans and have magical abilities. Talent and combat experience alone will clearly not be enough here. Cole Young's Arcana materializes a durable armor on his body that can absorb the kinetic energy of his opponent's blows to enhance his own blows, and which can also generate weapons in the form of both normal and bladed tonfas from his hands. This weapon is very effective and allowed him to easily defeat such a strong and experienced fighter as Goro. The mark of the dragon is a mark that appears on the skin of a person chosen as a champion, giving him the right to participate in the tournament. If the champion is defeated or killed, the sign goes to the winner and he will have to fight in a “Mortal Kombat”. Cole Young is a unique champion because he was originally born with the sign and was not chosen for his fighting skills. This is due to the fact that he is a descendant of the legendary medieval warrior Hanzo Hasashi.Cole Young is one of the fighters who represents Earthrealm in the Mortal Kombat tournament, fighting against the warriors of Outworld. This tournament was created by the Elder Gods so that the inhabitants of one World could conquer another only if they won ten victories in a row in the tournament. Accordingly, the future of all humanity depends on the champions of the Earthrealm.
