About the Elder Gods

The Elder Gods are the supreme deities of the universe. Whereas other Gods who occasionally take physical forms and may have limited powers or an element, the Elder Gods are more ethereal. The vague faces of the Elder Gods seen in Mortal Kombat 4, and the appearance of Shinnok in the same game, suggest that they may prefer blue-gray skin and a humanoid appearance. Their true nature and the extent of their powers remains a mystery.

History

Before the realms of Mortal Kombat came into existence, there was the One Being, which comprised all of known reality. The Elder Gods waged war and created the kamidogu, powerful weapons used to shatter the One Being. The Elder Gods then created the realms from its body, with Earthrealm as the center of power.

Even though the One Being was shattered, its divided mind plotted through exceptionally powerful individuals. One of these was the Elder God Shinnok, who attempted to take control of the entire universe. Eventually he was defeated by the young thunder god Raiden in a battle over Earthrealm, and banished to the Netherealm. The amulet which Shinnok wielded that granted him immense power was secreted away.
