Raiden has been a staple character in the Mortal Kombat series since its inception, and in this video, we'll take a look at his evolution over the years. From his early days as a thunder god to his current role as the protector of Earthrealm, Raiden has undergone significant changes throughout the franchise.

We'll start by looking at Raiden's appearance in the first Mortal Kombat game, where he was depicted as a powerful and mysterious thunder god. We'll then move on to Mortal Kombat II and III, where Raiden became more fleshed out as a character and gained new abilities, such as the ability to fly and shoot lightning bolts.

Next, we'll explore Raiden's role in the Mortal Kombat 4 and Deadly Alliance, where he was depicted as a mortal warrior rather than a god. We'll discuss how these changes affected his gameplay and character development.

We'll then move on to the later Mortal Kombat games, including Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11, where Raiden takes on a more protective role as the defender of Earthrealm. We'll discuss how his character arc has evolved over the years and how he has become a more complex and nuanced character.

Finally, we'll wrap up with a discussion of Raiden's future in the franchise and what we can expect from him in future Mortal Kombat games.

Whether you're a long-time fan of Raiden or just getting into the Mortal Kombat series, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in the history and evolution of this iconic character. So sit back, grab your popcorn, and get ready to relive the thunder god's journey through the Mortal Kombat franchise!
