Ermac/Current Timeline

"We are many; you are but one."

- Ermac's battle cry from Mortal Kombat (2011)

Biography

 * Mortal Kombat (2011): "As punishment for resisting Shao Kahn’s claim to the realm of Edenia, the souls of the vanquished were torn from their bodies and fused together to form the being now known as Ermac. Bent to Shao Kahn’s will, Ermac is his foremost enforcer. The essences of so many souls bound together give Ermac immense telekinetic power–an advantage that will destroy Earthrealm’s resistance to Shao Kahn’s rule."

Storyline
Ermac is introduced during the first Mortal Kombat tournament. He is brought in by Shang Tsung and is labeled the newest creation of Shao Kahn. Despite high praise from Shang Tsung, Ermac is defeated by Liu Kang in battle.

The next appearance for Ermac is in the Soul Chamber, which is where the souls the comprise Ermac rest and regenerate. Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, and Jax are all in the Soul Chamber when Ermac emerges. Jax attempts to attack Ermac, but Ermac catches Jax's punch, and proceeds to telekinetically rip off Jax's arms. While Sonya tends to help Jax, Sub-Zero and Ermac do battle. Ermac is defeated once again. Ermac is shown fighting Johnny Cage during the second tournament in the Coliseum, where he defeats Cage and eliminates him from the tournament.

Ermac reappears during the Earthrealm invasion. After Kurtis Stryker had just defeated Kintaro and attempted to call in a medical evacuation for the injured Kabal, Stryker is telekinetically lifted and thrust down into the Subway by Ermac. Stryker and Ermac fight, and for a third time, Ermac is defeated.

Ermac's final appearance comes after Cyber Sub-Zero frees the Earthrealm prisoners. The recently freed prisoners are shown being telekinetically thrown back into the room by Ermac. In a rematch from before, the automated Sub-Zero faces Ermac again, and like before, is defeated.

Powers and Abilities
As mentioned above, Ermac is not one person, but an entire collection of warriors brought together in physical form through magic, courtesy of Shao Kahn and thus, refers to himself as a group instead of a singular. Because of this, Ermac possesses powers related to the soul, mostly used in the form of telekinesis, which allows him to manipulate every aspect of living and non-living objects with his mind. In addition, he is able to manipulate soul energy because of his composition, which he uses in the form of both levitation and firing projectile attacks.

Ending

 * thumb|200px|rightMortal Kombat (2011): "With Shao Kahn dead, Ermac was no longer bound to him.

The conflict resolved, Ermac returned to Outworld, determined to reunite with his past. Queen Sindel and Princess Kitana were shocked to learn the truth: that trapped among the many spirits within Ermac was their husband and father, King Jerrod.
