Kobra is one of Kabal's new Black Dragon Clan recruits and a minor antagonist from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games. He also has romantic feelings for his partner Kira, despite her willingness to kill him (something he does not seem to mind).
History[]
Original Timeline[]
Mortal Kombat: Deception[]
Years before the story, Kobra had once been at the top of his New York City Karate School class in training. In the back alleys, he used his skills to maim street gangs, gangbangers and drug pushers. In his bloodlust, Kobra murdered many of his opponents and also committed a string of robberies until the NYPD arrested him. On his way to jail, Kobra had no recollection of how many he had killed. Just then, the cops who had arrested him were killed by the Black Dragons Kabal and Kira and rescued the murderous martial artist from incarceration, before recruiting Kobra into the New Black Dragon criminal organization.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon[]
While the Edenian demigod Taven is in his quest to find the Pyramid of Argus, he met Kobra and Kira. Kobra told Taven that no one crosses the bridge and he challenged him, only to be defeated by the demigod. Kobra would later join the Forces of Darkness during the battle of Armageddon, being seen to fight Shujinko at it's commencement. Kobra climbed the Pyramid of Argus after it emerged, but was caught off-balance by Bo Rai Cho, and along with Tanya, Dairou, Kano and Sub-Zero, were blasted off the Pyramid by Shang Tsung, presumably killing him.
In his ending, Kobra claimed the power of Blaze, and brazenly challenged the Elder Gods themselves to make him Lord of the Realms. The Elder Gods seemingly agreed, as long as he had a partner to share his rule. Kobra chose Kira, but this turned out ot be a trap, as Kira, revived as a goddess of Death reduced Kobra to dust.
