Kabal is a Mortal Kombat fighter who debuted as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 3.
He is a human and his origins are in Earthrealm.
Many players and MK fans consider Kabal an evil character, but the truth is that Kabal changed sides a long time ago, during the first Earthrealm invasion.
Kabal was a member of the Black Dragon clan, but when Shao Khan opened the portal to Earthrealm, and began stealing the human souls, Kabal was spared because he was one of Earthrealms warriors.
Realizing that all these warriors were a threat for him, Shao Khan ordered their annihilation; however Kabal managed to escape, but his body suffered multiple mutilations.
Players can observe that Kabal is wearing a mask which helps him to breath, while his arms present various injuries caused by fire.
In Mortal Kombat 9, Kabal’s biography offers more details regarding his past and the events that forced him to enter the Mortal Kombat tournament:
“Once a member of the Black Dragon clan, Kabal gave up his life of crime and put his fighting skills to more positive uses. He joined the New York City police force to kombat the underworld element he once served. This transition helped ease the pain of dark memories. But when New York was invaded he underwent another transformation–one that would afflict him physically. Severely injured in battle, he is doomed to wear a life support system forever.”
