—Cassie after defeating Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 11 |
Commander Cassandra Carlton "Cassie" Cage is a fighter introduced in Mortal Kombat X. She is a former sergeant, current commander serving in the Special Forces, and the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade.
Cassie made her debut in Mortal Kombat X, serving as one of the protagonists in the game's Story Mode.
About Cassie
Some time after the Netherrealm War, Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade got married and had a daughter, Cassie. However, Sonya's perceived prioritization of work over her own family led them to divorce, much to Cassie's sadness. Being the daughter of a high-earning Hollywood actor, Cassie was somewhat spoiled, although her attitude changed after she was kidnapped by the Black Dragon. This experience convinced her to join the Special Forces, where she would be trained by both of her parents in combat.
Inheriting the charisma and cocky wit of her father and the stern, tough as nails attitude of her mother, Cassie quickly rose through the ranks to become team leader and, eventually, sergeant. She managed to defeat the fallen Elder God Shinnok single-handedly, even in his full demonic form, and eventually attained the rank of commander.
Initially, Cassie harbored deep insecurities, fearing that she might not be able to live up to her parents' legacy and expectations, especially her mother's. But over time, Cassie developed into a more confident leader with the aid of her friends.
Despite her brash demeanor, she has a deep sense of morality, refusing to kill opponents except when absolutely necessary. She also shows genuine respect for her elders and masters, as seen while approaching Sub-Zero. She is childhood friends with Jacqui Briggs, who is also part of the team she leads along with Kung Jin and Takeda Takahashi. Like her father, Cassie has shadow abilities, but would not fully master them until her encounter with Shinnok.
She is a stereotypical millennial, sporting many of the most iconic trends and technologies of her generation, including iPods, social media, and digital phones.
Appearance
Cassie, a woman of Caucasian descent, is an homage to both of her parents, with her blonde hair, and a face and figure very similar to that of her mother, while her sunglasses, sharp wit, and cocky attitude are reminiscent of her father. She dons a tight bodysuit designed for tactical combat, colored blue to signify a connection to the police force. She also wears dog tags, has a very prominent undercut, and has a helix piercing shown on her upper right ear. Her trademark weapon is her set of twin pistols.
In MK11, she sports a suit of armor and has a drone which assists her during matches. Her hair has grown out and longer, now tied in a ponytail that reaches halfway down her back, resulting in a further resemblance to her mother.
Combat Characteristics
Powers and Abilities
As the daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage, Cassie has received Special Forces training from her mother, while gaining her father's fighting style and super human abilities. Her skills with green energy have improved greatly by the time of MK11, now being able to infuse it into objects, as seen in her Fatal Blow. She also gains a combat drone BLB-118 that assists her during combat.

The attack strikes the opponent's feet. The far and close versions of the attack activate much faster than the medium version. (MKX - Spec Ops Variation/MK Mobile)
- The enhanced version, called Target Paint, deals increased damage, activates slightly faster than the medium version of the original attack but not the far or close versions, and now tracks the opponent rather than needing a distance inputted. It also no longer explodes on the ground, but on top of the opponent to pop them up for a juggle.

The attack can be used at three different ranges, normal, close and far range, called Close/Far BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet, respectively.

X-Ray/Fatal Blow
- X-Ray - Testi-Kill: Cassie bludgeons the opponent twice with a baton, and then performs a cartwheel kick. If this connects, she will send a flare to their face, blinding them. She then performs the splits and delivers a powerful punch to the opponent's groin, making a male character's testicles explode, or a female's and Alien's genitals strain. While they double up, she hits them in the face with the butts of two pistols, cracking their jaw, and then shoots them in their eye sockets, making their head snap back and sending them flying. (MKX)
- Fatal Blow - Pissed AF: Cassie jumps to hang on her drone, leaps and does a Diving Glow Kick. She delivers three punches with green energy at the foe, then grabs her gun and slams its butt, coated with green energy, into their jaw. She then smashes her other gun into the foe's skull and fires them both at their knees, the bullets being also enhanced with green energy. Lastly, she fires three shots at point blank range, the last bullet piercing the opponent's chest and exiting through their back. (MK11)

- In MK11, if the opponent is stand blocking when the first strike hits, the attack turns into a Krushing Blow, with the kick breaking the opponent's jaw and knocking out several of their teeth, similar to her uppercut's Krushing Blow, dealing double the original damage and retailing the same juggle effect.
- Severance Package: Cassie punches her opponent in the face, grabs them, and snaps their arm. (MKX - Brawler Variation)

(MKX)
- Selfie: Cassie draws her nightstick and hits her opponent's jaw with enough force to break it and leave it dangling from one side. As her victim starts to fall, Cassie grabs her opponent, pulls out her mobile phone and takes a picture of herself and her jaw-broken victim together in a "selfie."

- "I wish I could go back. Do our last mission over."
- "All squads withdraw! Evac, now!"
- "I know. I can't--I can't believe he did this."

- "I've seen what you can do with it. You held off the entire Netherrealm army. You weren't even at full strength."
- "It's been hours since we heard from the Grandmasters. What's the plan if they don't come back?"
- "Wait a sec. Timelines? Plural?"
- "I don't get it. Why do that?"
- "Liu Kang! Where is he?!"
