He also served as commander of Outworld's armies, crushing rebellions and aiding in the conquest of many new realms for the Emperor. Goro is one of the most powerful warriors in the history of Mortal Kombat, being able to win 9 consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments, as well as defeating the Great Kung Lao in his first tournament - which Shang Tsung, in his younger form, couldn't do.
