His ending is only a slight expansion on this idea as it says Sektor has gathered enough manpower to give Japanese authorities cause for concern. In other words, he never actually fights anyone in the game except Sub-Zero, and not even during the time the game represents since it happened ''before'' this chapter started!

* Mokap can't possibly be a canonical character. His bio takes place during Johnny Cage's ending in which he assists in the making of the movie based on the game, implying the game is already ''over'' by the time he arrives on the scene; bear in mind that Johnny Cage's ending isn't even canon in the slightest. His ending [[spoiler:only takes his bio a step further, saying he was also hired to work on the game based on the movie]]. It helps that he was only ever a tribute to Carlos Pesina, who performed most if not all of the motion capture work for the game. Bottom line, this guy probably doesn't even exist in ''Mortal Kombat''. It doesn't help that he was one of the majority of characters who never received his own bio for ''Armageddon'', and his ending there is the only one that attempts to give him any real story whatsoever - of course, being that it's not canon either, one could easily argue Mokap never really existed to start with nor had any bearing on anything in the franchise.

** Mokap, name aside, is a perfectly valid concept in the idea that his "actor" is a martial arts master who just happens to do motion cap work. It's just, dude, take off the outfit.
** Mokap is just a guy Johnny knows, his only canon contribution to the series was the final battle at the pyramid in Armageddon which involved everyone Johnny could round up at the time. His contribution in Deadly Alliance is non-canon but that doesn't erase the character.
