10 Most Badass Backstories In Mortal Kombat History

6. Kenshi

Kenshi began life as a warrior who toured the world fighting others simply for the pride of it; he was a born warrior and lived up to his destiny. After being tricked by Shang Tsung in an incident which gave the duplicitous sorcerer possession of the souls of Kenshi's ancestors and left him blinded; Kenshi took the legendary magical sword Sento and, when most would have retired due to their sudden disablement, retrained himself to continue fighting and gain revenge on Shang Tusng. His search for the sorcerer lead Kenshi to the US Special Forces where, despite being blind, he became a part of the Outer World Intelligence Agency and took on many missions in Outword. Despite this he would eventually cut ties with the organization due to his preference for working alone. Though some would argue fighting on after his disablement is enough to be on this list; when you take notice of the other factors it actually does Kenshi a disservice. But it does cement the place of the lone warrior; after all he is effectively Mortal Kombat's version of Daredevil.
