Line 287:
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: In ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'', he spends his first few fights goofing off, preening and grandstanding, hitting on Sonya, and generally making an ass of himself... [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|but is horrified when Shang Tsung demands he "finish" a fallen opponent]].
* [[Kangaroos Represent Australia]]: He turns into one to kick his opponent off screen as an Animality in ''MK Trilogy''.
* [[Everyone Hates Mimes]]: A [[Running Gag]] in the franchise was his film ''Ninja Mime'', which was an in-universe [[Box Office Bomb]]. Nonetheless, the player can use a downloadable skin to have him wear a mime costume.
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: [[Flanderization|Much to his fans' chagrin.]]
** ''Armageddon'' tries to take the "fake" part out, by having him being the first of the heroes to see Shinnok back into the scene, and then rallying the band of heroes for the final battle. But since we don't know much about the game's story, we just leave what happened between this point and the all-out battle to imagination.
Line 308 ⟶ 309:
** The intro of ''MK9'' inverts this: {{spoiler|he's shown decapitated}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Power Incontinence]]}}: His ending in ''9''. {{spoiler|His body begins to emit large, destructive bursts of energy in uncontrollable spasms, and neither Raiden nor Nightwolf are able to soothe them. Eventually, Raiden takes Johnny Cage to Seido to control his powers, which will result in him [[Took a Level in Badass|becoming more powerful than humanly imaginable.]]}}
* [[Older Than He Looks]]: By ''X'', he's starting to go a little grey, but still looks a lot younger than the 50-something man he is.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: He does worry about his daughter Cassie in MKX, but largely trusts her to fend for herself, though anyone trying to threaten her will make him mad. It even gets to the point where if they do fight each other, he confesses reluctance to actually doing so.
* [[Person as Verb]]: Tried this with himself in ''Shaolin Monks'' and ''MK9''. "You just got ''Caged''"
