MK1 is simultaneously a reboot and a sequel, pitting classic characters against alternate versions of themselves. In the spirit of examining alternate timelines, the first DLC for the game includes a new skin for Johnny Cage that turns him into Jean-Claude Van Damme. What seems at a glance like a silly nod to Johnny's Hollywood action-hero status, the skin is actually a much deeper reference to the origins of the franchise.
