GENERAL/STORY:
Originally introduced
in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as a secret character, Mokap is described
as being a motion capture actor with a vast knowledge of martial arts and
fighting styles. Although he is introduced somewhat as a joke character,
he is indeed being treated as a legitimate figure in the canon plot. Mokap
has been involved with the events of the last few games, although the circumstances
as to how and why are very mysterious and vague. He seems to continually
find himself inexplicably transported to and wrapped up in the battles
that have transpired, simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Mokap's Deadly Alliance
bio reveals that he is a former martial arts teacher on the North side
of Chicago. One day he was called upon by Johnny
Cage to do some motion capture work for his new movie "Mortal Kombat:
Deadly Alliance", and he became the primary martial arts talent for motion
capture in this film. Mokap was flown to Hollywood to begin his first session,
which consisted mainly of the Crane and Snake styles (although none of
these martial arts have been used by Mokap in the games that he appeared).
It is unknown how
Mokap participated in the events of Deadly Alliance. Although he fought
on the side of good, he did not appear to have any effect on the outcome
of the battle. Some time after this, Mokap gained some telekinetic powers,
although the source of these powers was not explained. Mokap returned in
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, again fighting for the side of Earthrealm and
for his life.

REVIEW:
Since he's based
off of how motion capture in video games, Mokap gets some originality points I
suppose. He also looks exactly like the guy who did a lot of the motion
capture for the game... Although it's ironic that the 'motion capture' in the
later 3D MK games wasn't that spectacular.
He doesn't really have any original moves to the series but at least he's kind
of a funny design, even though he doesn't fit in with the rest
of the cast at all. And it's silly that they actually bothered giving him a
storyline in the series... That's kinda pointless for a design like this.
