My understanding was that "Kahn" was only a title AFTER Shao Kahn. Outworld had known no other ruler for a very long time, Onaga all but forgotten to history, and Kotal and Mileena took up the "Kahn" to make themselves look credible I guess. Onaga refers to himself as "Emperor Onaga" in Armageddon's Konquest mode, which seems to indicate that prior to Shao Kahn, the ruler of Outworld was simply referred to as "Emperor or "Empress".
