But Shao Kahn had been an advisor to Onaga prior to taking over his throne some 10,000+ years ago. Not really a role a god would play, in my opinion. That's why I get the impression that the ruler of Outworld (Onaga, Shao Kahn, Kotal Kahn) is somehow in command of the gods of Outworld and every realm conquered and fused with it.

And yeah, I really wish we could have seen Fujin in his role as Protector of Earthrealm. I wish they'd produce a spin-off game set in the original timeline between MK4 and Deadly Alliance, telling some sort of story where Fujin fails, forcing Raiden to abandon his throne as an Elder God and take up the mantle of Protector of Eathrealm once again. Too bad it'll never happen, though.
