. . . "The characters and their back-stories are mostly continuous with the movies Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, although there are some minor differences. This includes what the characters looked like in Mortal Kombat 3 the Arcade game. The series takes place in Earthrealm, Outworld, and various other realms after the events of the first movie and the plot has very little to do with the plot of any of the games. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the show was that it provided the debut appearance of Quan Chi, a key character in the MK series who was the villain of Mortal Kombat 4 and part of the Deadly Alliance. The show was focused on a group of warriors assembled by Raiden to defend Earthrealm from invaders of various other dimensions that entered through portals. The assembled warriors included Liu Kang, Kurtis Stryker, Sonya Blade, Jax Briggs, Kitana, and the younger Sub-Zero, with Nightwolf functioning mostly as tech support. The warriors operated out of a hidden base from where Nightwolf and Raiden monitored portal openings; the warriors would fly dragon-shaped jets to deal with disturbances. Shao Kahn was something of an arch-villain throughout the series, being responsible for allowing other realms to invade Earthrealm. The finale involved Kitana leading a rebellion from Outworld against her stepfather, Shao Kahn."@en . "Mortal Kombat: Defenders Of The Realm (also known as Mortal Kombat: The Animated Series) is an Animated Adaptation of the Mortal Kombat games. It aired on the USA Network's USA Cartoon Express animation block from September to December of 1996. DotR follows from the events of the first live-action movie. Raiden gathers again a group of warriors to stand against the forces of the Outworld and various other invading dimensions.

DotR makes continuity problematic, since Mortal Kombat: Annihilation starts immediately in the same place. However, the cartoon is held in higher regard than Annihilation, so it generally takes precedence."@en . . .
