Late response, but I had been well aware of both those endings for Taven in MKA and the nasty side effects caused by Blaze being corrupted by Onaga's holymen. However, every kombatant becoming stronger than before still doesn't necessarily explain how Kahn himself still won in the end. With the amount of enemies Kahn made over his conquest of conquering realms, and some characters in MKA's intro who seemed to only go after Kahn specifically like Onaga, Khan naturally should've been one of the first to die in the battle of Armageddon, with EVERYONE becoming stronger than before and all, so obviously there was something else that contributed to him winning... Like defeating Blaze, which was indeed the case according to a recent answer on the matter by John Vogel, one of the main lead designers of the MK team.

You're right though about Taven in that his fate still remains unknown.
