- —Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung is one of the main antagonists of the Mortal Kombat series. He appeared in the second episode of Death Battle, Akuma VS Shang Tsung, where he fought against Akuma from the Street Fighter series.
History
Shang Tsung is a sorcerer serving Outworld, trained in the dark arts under the mighty and terrifying Shao Kahn. Long ago, he was caught cheating in the Mortal Kombat tournament, so the Elder Gods punished Shang by making him age swiftly until an untimely death, with the only way to prevent this being by absorbing souls. As the original organizer of the first Mortal Kombat tournament, he oversaw the tournament to ensure Outworld's victory and allow Shao Kahn's invasion of the realms to continue as planned but was foiled by Liu Kang and the defenders of Earthrealm. Since then, Shang has served Kahn and made use of his cowardly nature to usurp and gain power several times, but never truly succeeding.
