Shang Tsung is an Earthrealm sorcerer, right-hand man to Emperor Shao Khan.
In Reality[edit | edit source]
Original Timeline[edit | edit source]
Saved from death by Outworld Emperor Shao Khan, Shang Tsung was granted power beyond that of a normal human. The power came with a curse however, Shang Tsung was forced to kill and consume souls lest he age rapidly and die withered. Shang Tsung used his newly strengthened sorcery to win the Mortal Kombat tournament, before losing the title to the Great Kung Lao. In his second attempt to win the Mortal Kombat tournament enough times to allow Shao Khan to invade Earth, Shang Tsung trained a half-dragon apprentice Goro, a plan which failed at the last possible moment. From there, and after a few more failed attempts to try and invade Earthrealm, Shang Tsung tried sticking it out on his own, including a partnership with Quan Chi, a return to serving Shao Khan, and some other fuckery before finally being killed by a fucking corpse on a pyramid.
Reboot Timeline[edit | edit source]
Somewhat following the events of the original timeline, Shang Tsung serves Shao Khan and mentors Goro to try and win the Mortal Kombat tournament. These plans fail once again, and Shang Tsung becomes part of a new plan, unbeknownst to him. Willing to sacrifice anything to get his actual, real waifu back, Shao Khan stabs Shang Tsung in the back and uses his soul and soul-stealing sorcery powers to revive his dead-for-ten-millenia wife, Sindel.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Shang Tsung made his debut in 8chanmania XII, knocking out Heishiro Mitsurugi in the First Round. Shang Tsung's run would end in the next round, however as he was forced to tap out by Jaguar Warrior.
He reappeared in 8chanmania LXIX. The sorcerer made short work of the glorified clown Hisoka Morow and withstood the impeccable charm of Long Long Man, but no amount of magic in Earthrealm or any other could help him against the raw strength of Russian wrestler Zangief.
