he was originally since he was under Kahn's control, but Kenshi freed him of that and taught him some moves (this is the original timeline).

in MK9, aka the alternate timeline, his ending states that King Jarrod, Kitana's real father, took over Ermac's mind as he was one of the souls trapped within Ermac. even though it's not canon (yet?), it's a possibility that Ermac may end up that way in MKX.
