Johnny Cage is one of the original characters in the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games. He is a popular action star who has appeared in such films as Ninja Mime, The Gist of my Fist, Sudden Violence I - III, and HWAAAA!!! (for which he won an Oscar). He is known as the comic relief character in the games and holds the record for most times killed and resurected (3 deaths, 2 ressurections so far). His first two deaths, however, were attriubted to bad writing, and his official death was in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, though he is set to return in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. He is known for his Shadow Kick special move, his Decapitation fatality, and his trademark sunglasses. The movies portray him as having something of a relationship with fellow Earthrealm warrior Sonya Blade, and this has been picked up by the games.
