    Biography

    “Vanity” — 21st Century Action Hero

    Like many stars before him, Johnny became addicted to his fame. He came to measure his self-worth by his fans’ adoration and their praise of him on social media.

    But with his star now fading, Johnny is fighting an uphill battle to remain relevant. He joins Liu Kang’s Earthrealm champions hoping that it will provide his career and his fame a desperately needed boost.

    Ending

    YouTube player

    Since this whole thing kicked off, I’d wondered why Liu Kang chose me to be a champion. I mean, sure, I was killin’ it as a martial arts star. But it’s one thing when it’s all for show. It’s different when you’re playin’ for keeps.

    Then Liu Kang let me in on his master plan. He wanted the masses to know about the world beyond them, the one filled with gods and monsters. And he wanted me to tell ’em about it. But I knew revealing the truth all at once would be too shocking of a plot twist for most. That’s why I pitched doing a bunch of stories, to slowly get people used to it.

    And if there’s one thing I can do, besides kick ass in kombat, it’s build a cinematic universe. I’m servin’ up movies, streaming series, games, you name it. I like that I’m doing a public service. And it doesn’t hurt that I’m making more than a few bucks. It’s the kind of synergy that would make any studio mogul proud.
