Cassie Cage

Commander Cassandra Carlton "Cassie" Cage is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. A former sergeant, Cassie is the Commander of the Special Forces, as well as the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade in the second timeline. She, alongside Takeda, Kung Jin, and Jacqui Briggs are known collectively as the Kombat Kids.

Cassie made her playable debut in Mortal Kombat X, serving as one of the protagonists in the game's Story Mode alongside Takeda, Kung Jin and Jacqui.

Cassie returned in Mortal Kombat 11 as a playable character and supporting character 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 corrupted 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.

Signature Moves

• Single Shot: Cassie draws one of her handguns and fires off a single round at her opponent. (MKX)
  • The enhanced version is called Akimbo and has Cassie draw both of her handguns and fire off six shots rapidly for increased damage. This attack produces massive chip damage when blocked.
• Glow Kick: Cassie launches a high kick that carries her into the air while her body glows with green Shadow Energy. In MK11 this move is called Up Glow Kick. (MKX, MK11)
  • The enhanced version is called Diving Glow Kick and has Cassie follow up with a dive kick.
• Getaway Flip: Cassie cartwheels back, kicking her opponent into the air for extended combos. In MK11, this attack is called Kickflip Cassie performs this as her Launching Getup Attack and can only be performed this way. (MKX, MK11)
  • The enhanced version is called Power Flip and has Cassie do a full back flip and hit her opponent with both feet. Cassie also back flips a further distance to increase space between her and her opponent and recovers from the attack much faster.
• Air Akimbo: Cassie fires both of her pistols while in the air. In MK11, this attack is called (Air) Bullet Barrage. (MKX - Hollywood Variation, MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • The enhanced version is called Air Multi Gun and has Cassie fire more shots with a follow up shot when she lands on the ground for increased damage.
• Nut Kracker: Cassie drops to her knees and slams her cupped fists into her opponent's groin, similar to her father's iconic Nut Punch. This attack re-stands her opponent. Cassie recovers slightly faster than her opponent if this is successful. In MK11, Cassie has two versions of this attack, a special attack called Ball Buster, where Cassie instead crouches and kicks the opponent in the groin. The other version is a Getup/Flawless Block Attack called Nut Punch, where she performs the splits and punches the opponent in the groin, identical to her father. (MKX - Hollywood Variation, MK11)
  • The enhanced version is called Nut Buster, which has armor and has Cassie follow up with a second hit for increased damage. Additionally, the attack's hitbox increases, allowing it to strike the opponent during combos it otherwise would not connect in with Nut Kracker. Cassie also recovers much faster than the opponent if this successfully connects.
  • In MK11, amplifying Ball Buster has Cassie follow up with a punch to the groin after kicking the opponent, dealing increased damage.
    • If Cassie successfully lands three amplified Ball Busters, the attack can turn into a Krushing Blow on the attack's third usage or any time after, with Cassie causing the male opponent's testicles to explode or damaging the female opponent's pelvis with the punch, dealing increased damage and damage-over-time. Unlike other Krushing Blow-based damage-over-time effects, this damage-over-time damage decreases if the attack is used in any combo, where if the attack is used by itself, the opponent lose 10% of their health, while using it in combos, the damage is significantly decreased.
• Take Down: Cassie tackles her opponent, knocking them to the ground and punches them in the face. This attack is integrated into her Shoulder Charge attack in MK11 when amplifying the attack, but is not used as a separate attack. (MKX - Brawler Variation)
  • The enhanced version is called Haymaker, which adds armor and deals increased damage.
• Bow Breaker: Cassie grabs her opponent, snatches their arm, breaks it, and then flips them over into the opposite direction. (MKX - Brawler Variation)
  • The enhanced version is called Bone Breaker, which deals increased damage and adds armor. When enhanced, the attack will connect on standing opponents during a combo.
• Air Power Slam: Cassie grabs her opponent in mid-air and flips them over while kicking them down with both feet. (MKX - Brawler Variation)
  • The attack can be enhanced, causing Cassie to bounce the opponent as she lands on the ground for a juggle.
• Air Assault: Cassie calls on her ear piece and has a missile drop down on the arena, where the airstrike knocks the opponent into the air for a juggle. The attack can be used at different ranges, called Air Assault (Medium)/(Close)/(Far), respectively. The attack strikes the opponent's feet. The far and close versions of the attack activate much faster than the mid ranged version. (MKX - Spec Ops Variation)
  • 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 American Way: Cassie salutes her opponent while a trumpet horn flares. If the opponent is near her when used, they take minor damage. Additional specials attacks can be used if this connects. (MKX - Spec Ops Variation)
• Dual Wielding: Cassie draws both of her pistols and fires them both at the same time. The attack can be delayed or canceled before Cassie fires her pistols. Canceling the attack does not require any Offensive or Defensive Meter to cancel, however Cassie is completely vulnerable while puts her pistols away. Delaying the attack charges Cassie's pistols with green energy, which can change both the properties of the attack itself or, if Cassie cancels the attack while fully-charged, allows her next attack involving her pistols to deal slightly increased damage. (MK11)
  • Amplifying the attack has Cassie fire four times, dealing over double the original damage.
  • If Cassie fully charges to the maximum duration they can charge, the attack turns into a Krushing Blow, where when the bullets hit the opponent, they damage the opponent's internal organs, dealing almost four times the original damage and knocking the opponent away full-screen distance.
• Kneecappin': Cassie crouches and fires off a single round at her opponent's legs, knocking them off their feet. This ability conflicts with BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet and BLB-118 Energy Bounce when equipped, disabling the option to select BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet or BLB-118 Energy Bounce. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • Amplifying the attack has Cassie roll backwards and fire two more shots at different angles, launching the opponent into the air for a juggle and dealing increased damage.
• Shoulder Charge: Cassie glows green and then quickly dashes forward and rams the opponent with her shoulder. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • Amplifying the attack has Cassie tackle her opponent, similar to her Takedown attack from MKX, knocking them to the ground and repeatedly punching them in the face, dealing increased damage.
  • If the opponent fails to block at the right time when Cassie lands the original version of the attack, the amplified version can turn into a Krushing Blow, where Cassie's elbow crushes the opponent's facial bones, dealing over double the original damage.
• Flippin' Out: Cassie flips forward and fires two shots down while she's in the air. She can control the length of her jump to normal, close and far range, called Close/Far Flippin' Out, respectively. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
• Control BLB-118: Cassie pulls out a remote and controls her drone manually while she stands in one place. This ability requires two ability slots. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • Fun Phaser: The drone fires a laser beam forward at an angle.
  • Wub Wub Wub: The drone creates an electric burst around itself.
  • Dropping Balls: The drone drops an energy bomb downwards.
• BLB-118 Advance/Escape: Cassie grabs her drone which is able to carry her in several directions. Using this move costs a bar of Defensive meter. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
• Flying Glow Kick: Cassie grabs her drone and flies towards the opponent with her leg outstretched forward. If Cassie connects this attack, she can also use her Fatal Blow after, if it is available to use. This attack has armor breaking properties, ignoring the armor granted by specific abilities and Fatal Blows. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • If the attack connects as a Kounter or a Punish or is used to break the opponent's armor, the attack turns into a Krushing Blow, where when Cassie delivers the kick, it damages the opponent's internal organs, dealing over three times the original damage. This Krushing Blow can only be triggered by either of these conditions once during the match.
• BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet: Cassie fires off a single round at the drone, and it bounces off on a downward angle. The attack can be used at three different ranges, normal, close and far range, called Close/Far BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet, respectively. This ability conflicts with Kneecappin' and BLB-118 Energy Bounce when equipped, disabling the option to select Kneecappin' or BLB-118 Energy Bounce. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • Amplifying the attack has Cassie ricochet three bullets off of the drone for increased damage.
• BLB-118 Energy Bounce: Cassie fires off a single round at the drone, and it bounces off and turns into an energy bomb. The attack can be used at three different ranges, normal, close and far range, called Close/Far BLB-118 Energy Bounce, respectively. This ability conflicts with Kneecappin' and BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet when equipped, disabling the option to select Kneecappin' or BLB-118 Bullet Ricochet. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
• BLB-118 Bitchin' Bubble: Cassie commands the drone to create an energy sphere around itself. If the opponent steps into the sphere, they receive damage over time. This ability conflicts with BLB-118 Energy Burst when equipped, disabling the option to select BLB-118 Energy Burst. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
• BLB-118 Energy Burst: Cassie commands the drone to release a powerful energy burst that briefly stuns the opponent. This ability conflicts with BLB-118 Bitchin' Bubble when equipped, disabling the option to select BLB-118 Bitchin' Bubble. (MK11 - Equip Ability)
  • Amplifying the attack has the drone stun the opponent for a longer period of time.

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)

Other Moves

• Throw: Cassie grabs her opponent, slaps them hard enough to turn them around, then whips out her nightstick and slams it between their legs, flooring them. (MKX)
• Kick Abuse: Cassie shoots her opponent's shin, hits them in the head with her baton, then back flip kicks the opponent away. In MK11, this combo is named Hot Take and Cassie only shoots the opponent then does the kick flip, which will now knock the opponent in the air for a juggle. (MKX, 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 retaining the same juggle effect.
• Severance Package: Cassie punches her opponent in the face, grabs them, and snaps their arm. (MKX - Brawler Variation)
• Throw (Forward): Cassie restrains her opponent as the drone homes in at their groin. A moment later it flies forward and strikes them, and as they double over in pain, she draws her gun and aims at the back of their head, firing a single shot and sending them flying. (MK11)
• Throw (Backward): Cassie grabs her opponent and suplexes them backwards while the drone collides with their head mid-flight. (MK11)
• Shocker: Cassie hits with a spinning backfist, grabs the drone and channels its electricity through her fist. (MK11)

• Keepin' It Classy: Cassie strikes forward with an elbow, follows up with a knee and a Shadow Kick. (MK11)
  • If only the last hit of the combo connects, the combo turns into a Krushing Blow, where Cassie crushes the opponent's ribcage with her foot and damages their internal organs, dealing over double the entire combo's original damage but dealing over three times the final hit's original damage.

Fatalities

• Bubble Head: Cassie draws her pistol and shoots her opponent's kneecaps, forcing them down onto their knees, then shoots them in the head. As her opponent reels and blood spills from the bullet wound on their head, Cassie walks up to them, pops her gum, then sticks the wad onto the wound in their head, with blood filling the gum up into a balloon, and then pops, splattering blood on their face before they collapse dead. (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." She posts the photo to a social media site called "Friendships", where other users are seen commenting on it (some of whom appear to be other Mortal Kombat X characters; different comments appear every time). (MKX)
• I <3 U: Cassie charges a Green Shadow Kick, launching her foot through the opponent's torso, kicking the heart out of the opponent's body through the back. She follows by shoving both arms through her opponent's sides and makes a heart symbol with her blood-stained hands, smiling and giving an air kiss. (MK11)
• #GirlPower: Cassie runs towards her opponent while shooting at him/her. When face-to-face, she delivers a kick so powerful at her opponent's groin, that it causes the skull and spine to fly out of the opponent's body, with the torso splitting in two. (MK11)

Took an arrow to the knee.", a reference to a video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim where the Dragonborn encounters random guard and will quote "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."
• RoboCop is the only opponent where Cassie doesn't show her texting in her social media intro.

Mortal Kombat 1

• Cassie, alongside the rest of the Kombat Kids appear in the game's final Chapter as evil variants from different timelines that briefly heed the players attempt to get tot he top of The Pyramid. They are then quickly dispatched by a Titan variant of Kitana.
  • In said scene, Cassie's appearance is nearly identical to her appearance in Mortal Kombat X, Jacqui takes on her appearance from Mortal Kombat 11, Takeda is redesigned to appear how he does in the game's Kombat Pack, while Kung Jin gets an entirely new appearance.

Errors

Mortal Kombat X

• When viewing Cassie in the Kollection, one can see that her baton clips into her thigh.
  • Her pistol holsters clip through her jacket in her Endurance outfit.
• When viewing her taunt in the Kollection with her standard appearance, the items around her waist will clip into her thighs.
  • The items will also clip into her radio on he thigh when in her Spec Ops variation.
    • Also, the radio clips into her thigh in her Endurance outfit, and clips into her ammo pockets on the side of her thigh in her standard outfit.
• The radio on her hip in the Spec Ops variation is not even connected to her body when wearing her Sub-Zero Kosplay outfit, merely floating in the air. In her standard outfit, it is not connected to her as well, but is not floating.
• When fighting as Cassie with her Sub-Zero Kosplay outfit selected, she wears a mask while fighting. When viewing the outfit in the Kollection or selecting the outfit when picking a fighter, the mask is absent.
  • It is also absent during her interactions and is never seen being put on.

Mortal Kombat 11

• One of Cassie's intros features her repelling down from a helicopter before confronting the opponent. This intro itself defies logic when used in indoor arenas.
