Image and biography Raiden
The immortal character arose to defend people long before the moment the earth warriors came to his profog. The story began much earlier. In ancient times, one of the older gods, shinnok, used an ancient amulet to unhindered to pass through the worlds, and was going to increase his abilities by absorbing human energy.Raiden was already given a worthy repulse to the traitor. The older gods came to the rescue, handing over their strength to the lord of thunder. The great battle ended in the fact that Shinok went into imprisonment to hell, and the magic amulet got into reliable hands.
In order to prevent the repetition of the threat that land in deep darkness for many years, the Savior hid the amulet in the temple. And pressed the elementals to him - the strongest representatives of the four elements.
Without amulet, Shinok could not escape from hell. In the future, his attempt to act through the necromancer Kuan Chi led to the fact that the sorcerer took possession of this artifact. Thunderstroke was forced to fight the cunnings of human enemies, while preparing fighters to tournaments. Collisions have repeatedly happened between Raiden and Shang Tsung, the latter attracted Kintaro to his side.
During the battle with Army, Shao Kana was resurrected by Cane, thanks to which the emperor penetrated on the planet of people. There was a merger of the outside peace and land. And the lord of the element has not yet had the authority to control the situation, since now other gods were engaged.
Then he became a man, abandoning immortality and other divine privileges. Before that time, the emperor won Liu Keng, and the invasion of foreign invaders was discontinued. And Raiden received his status back.
At the same time, shiblok activated. Using the traitor to Tanya, along with Kuan Chi he sent the army of darkness on the elder and lower gods. Alive remained only two - Studzyz and Fujzh. The first one again gathered earth fighters to stop the capture attempts.
Given that Shinnok had amulet fake, he could not stand against the skillful Liu Kenga and once again went to hell. After this Raiden received the status of a senior god. And his place as a defender took Fujzh.

In Armageddon, when Raiden sacrifice himself and becomes dark, his costume is also transformed - now it is armor and black mantle. And the eyes acquire a red shade. But even under the action of the evil aura of ONGI, the character of the character practically did not change. Thunderbits continued to follow the destination, trying to protect the planet from the invaders.
As an opponent on the battlefield, God is extremely strong. As a weapon, uses lightning, transforming it into charges or streams.

Immortality makes the hero almost invulnerable. But it is possible to defeat him. In battle with Raidn, it is important to take into account a number of factors. The first is its ability to teleportation, the second is a series of combinations in which he uses shock discharges. The player needs to shy off the shots and quickly counterattack the thumbs up.
