@invaledd: #Johnnycage #mortalcombat #johhny Johnny Cage (Jonathan "John" Carlton) is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise by Midway Games and NetherRealm Studios. Introduced in the original 1992 game, he is an American action hero with an extensive martial arts background. The series depicts Cage as one of the primary heroes defending Earthrealm from various threats, as well as the comic foil. In the first rebooted timeline, Cage is also the love interest of Special Forces officer Sonya Blade and the father of their daughter Cassie Cage. Cage is inspired by martial arts star Jean-Claude Van Damme, particularly Van Damme's character, Frank Dux, in the 1988 film Bloodsport. A staple of the franchise, Cage has appeared in various media outside of the games. Reception of the character has been generally positive for his role in the series, character development, gameplay, and Fatality finishing moves. Original concept sketches for a proposed fighting game by artist John Tobias showed a character called "Michael Grimm, the current box office champion and star of such movies as Dragon's Fist, Dragon's Fist II and the award-winning Sudden Violence."[6] Tobias later described them as "R-rated really schlocky 1980s martial arts films".[7] According to martial artist Daniel Pesina, who portrayed Cage in the original game and the 1993 sequel Mortal Kombat II, Pesina used Iron Fist from the Power Man and Iron Fist comic series as the source of inspiration prior to the team settling on spoofing Van Damme.[8]
