Mileenais a
player and one-
time boss character from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting video games. Since herintroduction as Kitana's palette swap for Mortal Kombat
II in 1993, Mileena has gained significant popularity and became one of the series' most
iconic characters. She was a central character to the plot of the
game Mortal Kombat: Deception and has often appeared in Mortal Kombat merchandise and was also extensively used to promote later games in the series as its semi-ironic designated sex symbol. In the various other media in the franchise, however, her appearances have been relatively rare and minor as compared to these of Kitana.
In the games, Mileena was originally known as a dual sai-wielding assassin in service of the
dark emperor of Outworld.
