Is Kano pure evil?

However, Kano was already a horrible criminal even before this happened to him, so it isn't disqualifying.

Is Kotal Kahn a good guy?

Kotal Kahn isn't strictly a "good guy" or "bad guy"; he's a complex anti-hero or morally gray leader who prioritizes Outworld's well-being, often through ruthless means, making him an antagonist to Earthrealm heroes but not purely evil like Shao Kahn. He's honorable but cynical, capable of cruelty and betrayal (like imprisoning the Cage/Sonya team in MKX) but also shows compassion, especially towards his people and Jade, evolving to become more understanding in MK11.

Kano lost his original right eye during a brutal fight with Jax Briggs, who severely beat him, leading to Kano getting a cybernetic replacement from a doctor, which gave him infrared vision and laser capabilities, a signature trait across most Mortal Kombat games and films, though its appearance and exact origins vary.

Is Baraka a good guy or bad guy?

Baraka's alignment shifts depending on the Mortal Kombat timeline; traditionally an antagonist loyal to villains like Shao Kahn, in recent games (MK11, MK1), he evolves into a tragic anti-hero or sympathetic figure, driven by protecting his people (Tarkatans) and seeking a cure for their plague, even allying with heroes like Kitana. So, he's generally seen as a villain turned reluctant ally, not purely good or evil, but complex and motivated by survival.

Is Liu Kang a bad guy?

Yes, Liu Kang can be evil, but it depends on the timeline and version, as he's often a hero, yet becomes a villainous "Revenant" under Quan Chi's control in some timelines (like in MK11) and even a powerful, morally ambiguous "Fire God" in Mortal Kombat 1 who creates new realities, leading some to question his godhood. The main Liu Kang is generally good, but corrupted versions, like Revenant Liu Kang or his Dark counterpart in MK1, are definitely evil or antagonists.
