Fire God

The Fire God was an unnamed boss from Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. He was one of four guardian gods assigned by Raiden to guard the Amulet of Shinnok in the Temple of Elements and acted as the god of fire in the Mortal Kombat universe. He had the ability to teleport, fire jets of flame, as well as to perform a burning chokehold. He was the final elemental god defeated by the elder Sub-Zero, allowing the ninja access to the amulet.

In the official Mortal Kombat 4 comic that came with the PC version of said game, the younger Sub-Zero attempts to make peace with the temple guardians, but discovers that they are gone. This could indicate that the Fire God was killed by Shinnok during his invasion, an idea further substantiated by Fujin's Mortal Kombat 4 biography screen stating that he and Raiden are among the few surviving Earthrealm gods.

Fans have speculated in the past that the Fire God's name was Hinoka, but there is no information in Mythologies that states this, and no official confirmation from the Mortal Kombat development team. It is therefore likely that 'Hinoka' is a fan-created name.

The Fire God appears in the film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, discussing with the other gods (Shinnok the Wind God, and the Water Goddess) about Earth's fate. During the climax of the film, he and the Water Goddess arrived to stop Shinnok's treachery and declared Mortal Kombat. After Liu Kang and his friends defeat Shao Kahn and his minions, the Elder Gods imprison Shinnok and have his son Raiden take his place.

In Liu Kang's non-canonical Mortal Kombat (2011) ending, he asks the Elder Gods to give him a chance to defeat Raiden and take his current position as protector of Earthrealm after defeating Shao Kahn. He succeeds in defeating the former God of Thunder, becomes the new protector of Earthrealm and seems to become a God of Fire (reflecting the element Liu Kang used in battle as a mortal).
