Below is more information on the new characters in the Kombat Pack:

• Spawn: Character created by Todd McFarlane, is the protagonist of one of the best-selling and most long-lived comics on the world scene, with hundreds of millions of copies sold in more than 120 countries and translated into 15 different languages. Spawn’s comic strip tells the story of Al Simmons, the CIA’s elite assassin, who is betrayed by the same agency he works for and is brutally murdered. Instead of dying, he decides to sell his soul to Hell to get a second chance and becomes Spawn: a sick soldier who fights the Underworld. Spawn will have the voice of Keith David, the original voice of ‘Todd McFarlane’s Spawn’, the series animated HBO Emmy Award winner.
• Shang Tsung is a Sorcerer and historic winner of the Mortal Kombat Tournament. Shang Tsung has sworn eternal loyalty to Shao Kahn in exchange for a dark power, but he was never a faithful servant. He dreams of the day when his magic will succeed in overwhelming Shao Kahn, and he would be willing to do anything to accomplish what he believes to be his destiny. The actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa who played the character in the popular 1995 film ‘Mortal Kombat’, returns to give his voice and his unmistakable facial features to the character. In addition,  Shang Tsung will be available to visitors of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) from 11 to 13 June in the South Hall at the WB Games booth (# 1023).
• Nightwolf , commonly known as Gray Cloud, was chosen by the Great Spirit to become the champion and protector of Matoka. Gray Cloud proved himself worthy by giving his life to prevent the last sacred artifacts of his tribe from being looted. Like Nightwolf, Gray Cloud has extraordinary magical powers provided by the Great Spirit to defend the Kingdom of the Earth.
• Sindel  is the former queen of Edenia ready for anything to keep her place. In danger after the loss of his throne by Shao Khan, Sindel betrayed his husband and his people, to remain in his privileged position. Now, as the wife of Shao Kahn and Queen of the Outside Kingdom, she is more powerful than ever.
