Shinnok (Earth-9621)

"The weak will always be victims. That is the way of the universe. The strong take what they want, and the weak suffer at their hands. That is their fate; it is inevitable. Only the strong survive, because only the strong deserve to. This is what my brothers and sisters failed to realize, and this is why they will die too."

- - Mephisto to Raiden

Shinnok, the God of Evil and the Lord of the Netherrealm, was a fallen Elder God, who upon his betrayal to the Heavens against his fellow Gods prompted them to banish their brother to the depths of the barren Netherrealm. There, the once benevolent being grew even more corrupt, twisting the lands to his own evil imagery. Once again, in the 21st Century, Shinnok sought to start yet another coup, which ended with his defeat at the hands of Liu Kang and Siegfried.

Early Life
Shinnok was born in the beginning of time itself alongside his fellow deities, the Elder Gods, made from the source of the One Being.
