Mortal Kombat movie ideas 2) Jax's metal arms

In the Mortal Kombat Legacy series, it is hinted that Jax's arms were badly damaged during an explosion in his fight with Kano.

I kind of don't like the idea of having Jax's arm damaged just to warrant him having his metal arms. I like to think that he could use the metal arms as an added strength value in big battles against the likes of the cyber ninjas.

This is how I would have Jax come to the idea of having metal arm weapons;


Jax tracks down the Black Dragon (that are for hire under Shang Tsung). Jax confronts Tremor who has been summoned by Shang Tsung to safeguard a portal from the "unknown" location to his Island.

A battle breaks out between Jax and Tremor. Tremor shows a lot of strength and power by pounding the walls and ground so hard that everything rumbles around him. Jax uses his intelligence to use Tremor's uncontrollable attacks to his advantage by making him smash a boiling water pipe. The spray hits Tremor in the face making him blind. Then Jax kicks and punches Tremor out cold.

During this battle. We see Jax admire the power Tremor has. I feel that the Jax character is always looking to make himself stronger. Weight training just isn't getting him there fast enough. So he gets the idea of having arm enhancements to give him the strength he craves. This also brings out the character angle of Jax's insecurities as he would rely on his metal arm too much.


This is only my basic idea on how I would bring Jax's metal arms into the movie or maybe a sequel?
