@Hookswords95 That does make sense. I don't know if Shao Kahn would be stupid enough to create something that would work for any emperor of Outworld, and not especifically for himself. But if Ermac's bound to him wasn't broken yet, that's the most probable thing for sure.

Was it Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn himself who created Ermac? If it was Shang Tsung, it would make even more sense. He would have told Ermac to serve the emperor of Outworld - which by that time was Shao Kahn - but he probably had plans of becoming the emperor himself one day, so it would have been a smart play. Although I'm almost sure that was Shao Kahn himself who created Ermac...
