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. Who's to say though that Shao Kahn wasn't born a deity or a demigod, and it was his aim from the onset to seize control of Outworld by posing as advisor. My only problem with your hunch is that all of the recent contenders for the throne of Outworld (Reiko, Mileena, and Kotal) really don't measure up when compared to Kahn in terms of power. (Sure, Reiko became powerful in the comics, but only because of Blood Magik, which magnifies the strength of anyone under its influence.) I don't think it has much to do with the throne of Outworld as much as it does Shao Kahn himself possibly being of godly parentage.
