Persona Attributes

Kung Lao made his playable debut in Mortal Kombat II and has been a playable character in almost every game since his debut. He is one of two titular protagonists of the spin-off game Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks alongside Liu Kang.

Origin 1st & 2nd Timeline: China, Earthrealm Resides 1st Timeline: Wu Shi Academy, Earthrealm Species 1st Timeline: Human Gender: male Weapons Razor-Rimmed Hat (All appearances) Battle Axe (MKG) Broadsword (MK:DA, MK:D, MK:U, MK:A) Fighting Styles Mantis (MK:DA, MK:D, MK:U, MK:SM, MK 2011, MK1) Shaolin Fist (MK:DA, MK:D, MK:U, MK:SM, MK:A, MK1) Kenpo (MK:SM, MK 2011, MKX) White Lotus (MK:SM, MK 2011, MKX, MK11, MK1) Wing Chun (MK 2011, MKX, MK11, MK1) Wushu (MK1) Kung Lao (Chinese: 空佬)[1] is a character in the Mortal Kombat series. A Shaolin Monks and close friend to series protagonist Liu Kang, he is a student of Master Bo' Rai Cho and Champion of the Thunder God Raiden. He has remained one of the franchise's most popular characters and has been a central supporting character through out his appearances in the franchise. Kung Lao is a former Shaolin Monk and a member of the White Lotus Society. He stands in the shadow of his great ancestor, the Great Kung Lao, but unlike his great ancestor, he has no desire to be champion and would rather live a life of peace. However, this was retconned in MK 2011, wherein Lao is now eager to prove himself equal to Liu Kang. He is also shown to be highly conceited and immature, although these traits mask a deep-seated insecurity and inferiority complex vis a vis Liu Kang. Much like Liu Kang, he has trained under master Bo' Rai Cho. Of the Earthrealm warriors, Lao is the most outspoken pacifist, although he will not hesitate to severely punish those who attack him, Earthrealm, or his friends. His trademark weapon is his Razor-Rimmed Hat, which he can employ quite powerfully and effectively in combat. Many of his fatalities involve the use of his hat to some extent.

Prompt

Kung Lao possesses similar abilities to Liu Kang when it comes to strength, agility and martial arts. However, those are not his most deadly weapon. Lao's preferred weapon of choice is the razor-edged hat that he wears all the time. The hat is usually utilized to instill fatal and amputating blows, mainly in decapitation. Lao appears to have absolute control over the hat as he is able to throw whilst it moves in circular directions instead of straight ahead. The hat also appears to have supernatural properties, as such that no matter how far he throws it or where it will end up, the hat will always materialize back on Lao's head like an instant boomerang. He appears to also have some degree of teleportation as well. Appearance: Kung Lao's iconic appearance is his debut looks from Mortal Kombat II, which itself serves as a basis for some of his new outfits in most of his playable appearances. With the exceptions are his appearance Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Gold, and his revenant-self in Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11. In Mortal Kombat (2011), he retains the same outfit from Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. While completely bald, Kung Lao's revenant form initially had long sharp black nails in Mortal Kombat X, before it is ultimately changes to normal nails in Mortal Kombat 11. Signature Moves: Hat Throw: Kung Lao hurls his hat at the opponent. In MK 2011 and MK1, this is called Hat Toss. His hat can also be directed upwards or downwards in MKII, MKT, MK 2011 and MK1. In MKX, the way the hat is thrown, its properties and move's name change according to the variation chosen. (MKII, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MKG, MK:DA, MK:SM, MK:A, MK 2011, MKX, MK11, MK1)
