Dark Kahn

Dark Kahn is a fictional character in the video game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The character also appears in the comic book titled Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: Beginnings.

Storyline
Dark Kahn is the result of Darkseid's essence fusing with that of Shao Kahn. This event occured when Shao Kahn attempted to flee from Raiden, who struck him with a lightning bolt, sending him into a portal previously opened by Quan Chi. At the same time, Darkseid was struck by Superman's eye beams while trying to escape through a Boom Tube. This caused the fusion of the two portals (which can be seen in both of the cut-scenes), and the fusion of the two emperors. After he was created, his mere existence was the cause of the merging between the MK world and the DC world, and the "Kombat Rage" which slowly attempted to consume everyone: superheroes, villans, and kombatants alike.

Powers
Dark Kahn, being a fusion of Darkseid and Shao Kahn, has all the powers of both. He also has the ability to instill "Kombat Rage" into the fighters; the closer they are, the stonger the urge to fight is.

When he is defeated, he explodes and only lava is left on the ground, which apparently releases the essesnces of both Shao Kahn and Darkseid. Having all the abilities of Shao Kahn and Darkseid, he is incredibly tough. Like Shao Kahn and Darkseid, he has super strength. One of his moves employs the use of Shao Kahn's hammer.
