Vanity
B-list celebrity, recipient of no acting awards. Following a string of lowbrow direct-to- VHS sequels to Ninja Mime , Johnny Cage's career peaked at the age of 28. Now, he fights against all odds to save Earthrealm and prove that he's an even braver hero in real life than on the silver screen.


This whole adventure? Capital "I" insane.
I marry Sonya? Have a kid who actually likes me? Enquiring minds want to know how the hell that happens!
So I get the Hourglass to show me how kicking Shinnok’s ass, which I did beautifully, turned me from Hollywood mega-star into global icon. So far, so good.
Until I let that fame screw me up. Didn’t hit rock bottom until I saw just how badly I’d let down my little girl.
I finally got what Old Man Me was saying about needing humility and maturity. But I also knew I couldn’t get there without living the same life he did.
So I restored the timeline, just as it was.
With one, tiny little difference...
Sonya’s story won’t end underneath the rubble of some busted-up Netherrealm castle. Because Johnny Cage flicks always have happy endings.
