5. The Undertaker/Raiden (Mortal Kombat Franchise)
Raiden, eternal God Of Thunder, is one of the only characters to have appeared in every iteration of Mortal Kombat as a playable character, just as the Undertaker has had a presence in nearly every generation of WWF/E for twenty-five years, in various gimmicks and guises. The Undertaker may be the Dead Man while Raiden is an elemental creature, but their command of the lightning is a common factor they share, as is their habit of teleporting to where they need to be, although thats chiefly for dramatic effect when it comes to the Phenom. Another aspect of the characters that they share is their outlook on life. Raidens perspective is that of an eternal being, and he has entirely different concerns to the other player character in the Mortal Kombat franchise. Similarly, the Undertaker isnt bothered so much with championships and title runs these days. He shows up once, sometimes twice a year to take on a headline feud with an important up-and-comer or a made man, not to defeat jobbers in squash matches. Neither man has anything left to prove to anyone, least of all themselves.
