Shao Kahn is the main antagonist in the original timeline of the Mortal Kombat series. A powerful and cunning combatant and ruler of Outworld, Shao Kahn is one of the greatest threats to peace.
Long ago, Shao served as the advisor to Onaga, the Dragon King, before assassinating him and assuming his throne. Now the Kahn of Outworld, Shao continued Onaga's plans for conquest by invading the neighbouring realms through direct conquest or by right of Mortal Kombat, a series of tournaments in which Shao Kahn's champions compete with the defenders. His greatest milestone in this series of conquests was the realm of Edenia, whose queen and crown princess, Sindel and Kitana, he took as his wife and daughter respectively.
Shao Kahn's gaze would eventually fall on Earthrealm, which he nearly conquered through Mortal Kombat, only for his greatest champions, Goro and Shang Tsung, to be defeated at the hands of Earthrealm's champion, Liu Kang. After this failure, Shao Kahn forced Earthrealm to partake in a second tournament, only to be defeated by Liu Kang. Out of desperation, Shao Kahn manufactured a caucus beli by resurrecting Sindel and brainwashing her, giving him an excuse to invade under the guise of trying to rescue his queen. This too failed, as Earthrealm’s defenders successfully repelled the invasion.
Greatly weakened, Shao Kahn was forced to regain his strength. During this time, Edenia managed to break free by allying with the Shokan. However, he would later regain the latter's loyalty by pinning a false assassination attempt on Goro's life on the Edenians. Once again at full strength, Shao Kahn reassumed control of Outworld just in time for the Battle of Armageddon.
Joining the Forces of Darkness, Shao Kahn stormed the Pyramid of Argus and successfully slayed its guardian, Blaze. In the end, Shao and Raiden, Earthrealm’s protector god, were the final combatants of either side who were still standing. Before Shao could strike the final blow, Raiden sent a message to his past self, changing the timeline so Shao could never gain ultimate power.

Winner: Kratos
Expert's Opinion[]
Whilst Shao Kahn had far more powers and abilities, Kratos' Godly Weapons were too much for him. Not only was Kratos strong enough to protect his soul, but he was able to withstand many of Shao Kahn's attacks.

Riptor kicks Shao Kahn in the face and as Riptor charges he jumps to stomp on the neck of Shao Kahn. Kahn recovers and consumes the soul of Riptor.
WINNER- SHAO KAHN
Expert's Opinion[]
What brought Khan the win in this battle was his experience overall combination of defense with offense. The Emperor's shield was able to defend him from Riptor's very close range attacks, considering he really only had one ranged attack. Khan's powers were also too great for the Riptor, especially the soul consuming power.
