Storyline
Mortal Kombat
A New Dimension of Kombat
Banished to the Netherealm for crimes committed against his once fellow elder gods, Shinnok is freed from his confines by Quan Chi. With the aid of a traitor he then is able to overtake the realm of Edenia. From there he wages a war against the elder gods and awaits a chance to enact revenge against the god who banished him there- Raiden

The Battle of Armageddon
Once an Elder God, Shinnok was banished to the Netherrealm when he attempted to overthrow his fellow deities. Upon his escape, he once again tried to usurp his former allies' dominion over the realms. Nothing will stand in the way of his insatiable lust for power.
MK Armageddon Endings
Shinnok had anticipated the elimination of all the kombatants present at the final battle. He sent his doppelgänger to aid Daegon in defeating Blaze.

But with Daegon's unexpected disappearance, the false Shinnok defeated the firespawn. The power of Blaze breathed life into him, making him as powerful as the real fallen Elder God.

Shinnok must now face himself if he is to rule supreme.

Fun Facts
Face Off
While they eliminated fully digitized actors for Mortal Kombat 4, many of the character's face textures were modeled after Midway staff members. Namely Steve Beran (Shinnok), and Herman Sanchez (Jarek).
