Mortal Kombat X (comic series)[]
She kills the demon Moloch on Quan Chi's orders, and also sees the necromancer kill off Drahmin for their failure to capture Scorpion. The undead princess stands by Liu Kang as Quan Chi discusses how Shinnok's prized amulet is now exposed, Kitana states they should go after it, though Kung Lao reminds her that both Earthrealm and Outworld are on high alert after Havik's rampage, and suggests subterfuge using Shinnok's new acolyte D'Vorah, to aid them in stealing the exposed amulet.
Mortal Kombat X[]
25 years later, it is shown that Kitana is still an undead revenant serving Shinnok and Quan Chi. She, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Smoke and Sindel make up as Quan Chi's primary enforcers since Shinnok was trapped inside his amulet for a very long time. Jax and Sareena lament that Quan Chi's corruption has turned the revenants into killing machines, with some of them seemingly (Liu Kang, Kitana, Sindel, and to a smaller degree, Kung Lao) enjoying being revenants. She replies to them, stating that she doesn't feel being victimized and felt that Raiden was toying around with her emotions. She and the remaining revenants are seen in Scorpion's chapter, where they pledge their allegiance to the recently- freed Elder God Shinnok before proceeding to take Johnny Cage hostage, attack the Sky Temple and poison the Jinsei - Earthrealm's life force. Kitana is then seen in Cassie Cage's chapter, where she and the revenants are discussing with D'Vorah on next steps after Earthrealm is destroyed, with the former princess suggesting an assault on the Elder Gods. After Quan Chi was slain by Scorpion, and Shinnok defeated by Cassie Cage, it is shown in the ending that Kitana has become empress of the Netherrealm, co-ruling alongside Liu Kang. Raiden, now bearing a menacing appearance, tosses the former Elder God Shinnok's still-living head at their feet, and warns them that he will not sit idly by and watch Earthrealm get invaded, but will go on a warpath and destroy anybody who dares to threaten it, and that he won't show any mercy or remorse.
That being said, an Edenian "what if" version of Kitana is a playable character, showing him if she lived until the modern day. Her Mortal Kombat X's arcade ending shows that Kitana has a vision where she became queen of Edenia, after it was freed from Outworld. In this vision of a timeline unaltered, Shao Kahn had destroyed Earthrealm, yet Kitana united the other realms against the Outworld conqueror and defeated him. But this turned out to be a vision, and she blamed Raiden for her fate.
Mortal Kombat 11[]
Kronika is tampering with time, bringing her past non-Revenant self to the present timeline, along with other Earthrealm warriors.
She manages to defeat Shao Kahn and subsequently becomes Outworld's new Kahn. She then guides her troops with all her allies against Kronika Fort but is wiped out when the Titan uses her hourglass to change the times.
Kitana along with Liu Kang became one of the antagonists in this game serving Kronika. The rulers of Netherrealm are attacked by the tyrant Dark Raiden leading the Earthrealm heroes on a dangerous mission to defeat the revenants. Liu Kang and Kitana sent their demons to fight Raiden while Kabal, Jade and the rest of the demons fight Jacqui, Cassie, Sonya and their soldiers. Kabal is defeated while Jade is smart enough to warn Liu Kang and Kitana. After the two rulers enter the fight then defeat and trap Sonya, she dies trying to stop them and save everyone else. Raiden's plan was to destroy Quan Chi's castle so the revenants could have no more power. The plan worked, but at the cost of Sonya and many Special Forces soldiers. Raiden did not care about Sonya or the soldiers' deaths; he only wanted to stop the revenants. Liu Kang and Kitana are worried about what they will do without their power source, then Kronika shows up and promises to help them. They agree to aid her when she tells them that they will get rid of Raiden. Kitana and the revenants who serve Kronika remain by her side, more than any of the other bad guys.
While revenant Kitana serves Kronika, the young Kitana from the original timeline works with the heroes. But young Kitana decides to focus on freeing Outworld while the other heroes save Earthrealm. Unlike revenant Kitana, young Kitana does not have a hate for Raiden; that hate is directed to Shao Kahn.
When Fire God Liu Kang (who, with assimilation of revenant Liu Kang and Raiden's help and power, transcended from a mortal to godhood) storms Kronika's Keep, Kronika gives extra power to the revenant versions of Kitana, Kung Lao and Jade, and sends them after him to stall for more time while she readies the hourglass. Revenant Kitana is then defeated by Liu Kang, who also defeats the other two revenants. She is presumed to have been deleted from existence when Kronika rebooted the timeline (turning history back to era of dinosaurs or chaos, depending on how the player fares against Kronika) prior to her final fight with Liu Kang.
In Aftermath, the events after her victory over Shao Kahn are largely changed. She is betrayed by a fully resurrected Sindel, who frees Shao Kahn from his imprisonment and defeats Kitana even before arriving at the fort. The dethroned Kahn subsequently loses the loyalty of the Tarkatan and Kahn Guard after Shao Kahn and Sindel are promised mercy and riches in the New Age. Sindel then suggests chaining Kitana to suffer the bitterness of defeat.
Titan Kitana[]
In her MK11 ending, Kitana was able to defeat Kronika, and restored Edenia, but found that she was unable to fit in with her people due to having been had Edenian culture erased under Shao Kahn's reign. Kitana embraced her heritage as an Outworlder instead, and served as it's Kahn, hoping to learn from Edenia's teachings to make herself a better leader.
Mortal Kombat 1[]
This Kitana resurfaces after Liu Kang regains the power of the Keeper of Time. Needing allies against the Titan Shang Tsung, he summons her to his timeline, and after learning that he is also a Titan who defeated Kronika, Kitana realizes that they are from the same timeline. She embraces Liu Kang and kisses him, but realizes there must have been a pressing need to summon her. After Liu Kang also summons a Titan form of Kung Lao and Raiden, the four agree that Shang Tsung must be dealt with. Shang Tsung interrupts their meeting, intending to destroy Liu Kang's Hourglass and both he and his timeline along with it. However, the four of them (along with Geras) are able to defeat Tsung and his minions and drive them away. Afterwards, they realize they must amass an army of fellow Titans to protect the multiverse from Shang Tsung's evil.
Kitana appears as one of the Titans of Light on the side of Liu Kang, and fights alongside him and the playable Final Warrior. She defends the two and defeats Dark doppelgangers of the Kombat Kids.
Personality[]
As of MKX, after being killed by Sindel and turned into a revenant, she no longer sees herself a victim and is ready to rule the Netherrealm alongside Liu Kang and seek revenge against her former ally, Raiden. Kitana as in her non-revenant form wants Edenia to unite every realm under the peaceful rule of Edenia. While her revenant form wants to force the other realms under the fearful rule of the Netherrealm. Both want the power to rule and control however normal Kitana wants to rule in a fare and noble way but revenant Kitana wants to rule in a more evil way.
Kitana has come to enjoy being a revenant because she grew tired of being a victim she believes that she has become stronger as result of this. (Ironically, however, being a slave to Quan Chi still makes her a victim.) She has become envious, jealous, rude and egotistical. Instead of caring for others Kitana now focuses on herself wanting to get her revenge, angry that Sonya Blade has replaced her as Raiden's greatest female fighter.
Kitana thinks of her former friends as her enemies. This is seen during the Mortal Kombat X story and her intro quotes in free-play battles.
She is much more grounded and humble considering she was saved by her earthrealm companions from being executed she's gained more valiant trust and compassion with them and even addresses them by name; contradicting the way she is in mk11.
Kitana has told Sonya that even though they are allies it is hard for them to get along because she has made mistakes she wishes to fix while Sonya holds grudges. Kitana has also told Sonya that she doesn't have authority to stand in her way when she wants to see Raiden. During their intro about one of their past fights Sonya Blade talks about how she beat Kitana but Kitana lies and says with a little laughter that she let Sonya win. Kitana has told Raiden and her allies from Earthrealm that she doesn't need their help and can handle Outworlds problems alone. When Raiden warns her about Onaga she says that she doesn't fear the dragon king. Kitana has also called Raiden a demigod Raiden corrects her and says that he is a thunder god but Kitana doesn't care what kind of god Raiden is.
When Raiden worries that Kitana and Liu Kang's love for each other might get in the way of their duties as protector of Earthrealm and Kahn of Outworld Kitana just tells him he is worry too much. Kitana doesn't like it when she learns that Raiden and her Earthrealm friends are scouting the boards of Outworld after she becomes the new ruler. While she does work with her Earthrealm allies now that she is the new Khan of Outworld Kitana has some trust issues with earth as the new empress.
Kitana has shown to be driven by revenge and vengeance both as a revenant and as her normal self. As a revenant Kitana wants revenge and vengeance on Raiden for getting her killed as her regular self she wants revenge and vengeance on Shao Kahn. Kitana is also driven by rage and anger both as a revenant and non-revenant. As a revenant, Kitana is angry at Raiden but as her normal self she is angry at Shao Kahn. She is also driven by obsession as a revenant and as her regular self.
As a revenant Kitana was obsessed with getting rid of Raiden as a non-revenant, she is obsessed with beating Shao Kahn. No matter if she is a revenant or not Kitana has shown to a lot of wrath. As a revenant, Kitana's wrath is directed at Raiden but as her normal self that wrath is directed at Shao Kahn.
Kitana is headstrong and has been known to question her friends loyalty. Kitana cares for her friends and will help them but she constantly worries about betrayal. Kitana has a fear of being used lied to fooled and tricked since Shao Kahn did that to her it is the reason why she questions her friends and allies. Although Kitana has warth, anger inside of her and while she seeks revenge and vengeance Kitana has shown forgiveness to her enemies she also seeks justice for herself and those who have suffered at the hands of Shao Kahn.
Appearence[]
| “ | You have my visage. | „ |
| ~ Kitana to her duplicate. |
For Mortal Kombat X, her default outfit is more ninja-like with a blue accent color against some black parts, namely her pair of elbow-length gloves and her bra supported by some strong silk and under what looks like a corset for her waist. Here, Kitana also wears some golden jewelries on her forehead, around her neck, and on her chest. Other changes to the outfit includes a pair of shoulder armors with an extension that goes down towards her gloves, and a pair of beige leather boots that goes up to the middle of her thighs with some armored knee pads. Her hair is held in a bun with a pair of hair sticks and sporting two breads, and she also has faint blue eye shadow.
As opposed to her evil twin Mileena both Kitana and Mileena with there masks on look similar even with there figure and stature and hair. However, Kitana's face is more beautiful compared to the monstrosity of her clone. Most of the time Kitana wears beautiful make-up to enhance her features even more.
Powers and Abilities[]
Kitana using her Wind magic on Jade
Kitana uses her Steel Fans in battle, although she is more than exceptional in unarmed hand-to-hand combat. She can use her fans as both a projectile and a melee weapon, as well as the ability to create large and small tornadoes with her Edenian/Wind magic, ( She expresses her magic with her War Fans) Kitana also has the ability to teleport short/long distances and somewhat has flight to an extent. She can also throw her fans while airborne and execute a midair punch to counter other airborne foes.
Kitana lifts up Shang Tsung
This made her one of the most strongest Mortal Kombat fighters in the series, and was later slightly changed to meet the equal standards in fairness in later games. Kitana's also very agile; able to do very quick kicks and fast fist attacks. As for strength Kitana exceptionally has it, using strong throws and hitting vital's such as chest, throat, and knees making her a deadly warrior. Her strikes are strong enough to deliver powerful blows on her opponents such as uppercuts strong enough to send a person flying or frontal hand-palm attacks to fracture bones or create extremely fatal injuries to her opponents with just that alone. She's also capable of lifting a fully grown man with just one hand, as shown when she lifted Shang Tsung showing her strength.
