The hardened criminal Kano was revealed for Mortal Kombat X earlier this week. One of MK's tougher competitors, Kano is also a bit of a perennial staple for the franchise. Interestingly, he's making the trip to this new game, even though his nemesis, Sonya Blade, is being represented by her offspring.

So how has the cybernetically-enhanced villain progressed over the course of the past 20 years? You can get a good look in the video below, showing Kano's progression from his 16-bit heyday to his current MKX incarnation.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
