Rain

Jonathan Tafkap "Jon" Wiggins, codenamed Rain is a character from the Ninjas universe who is inspired by his Mortal Kombat counterpart but differs by personality. He is the illegitimate son of the Edenian god Argus and was left to live his life in Outworld. He worked at Outworld Enterprises with Ermac before leaving to Earthrealm.

Story
Many millenia ago, Jonathan Wiggins was born from the union of Argus, the Protector God of Edenia and Queen Whorbagge Wiggins of the Edenian City of Bristol. Whorbagge had died just days after his birth from an out of control drinking binge, Argus had appointed his brother, Traveling Matt the nomad to raise Rain. Matt had given his nephew the loving care he had never received from his heavenly father, until at an early age, Outworld had taken over Edenia after 10 consecutive victories of Mortal Kombat. He was separated from his beloved uncle and raised by one of Shao Kahn's top generals, Stickins. Stickins renamed the boy as simply Rain, and with Shang Tsung's sorcery, repressed his childhood memories so that way he would never rebel against them.

During his young adulthood, he would meet an Edenian survivor by the name of Myst, they would later have a child together but tragedy struck as Myst had died after giving birth to Rain's son. Since his father could not help him, he had beseeched Raiden for aid, he would give the Thunder God the Crest of Argus, which was what he managed to keep after the Edenian take over being the only proof of his nobility. Raiden had accepted the offer and allowed his son refuge in Earthrealm. The former Edenian prince was suddenly tortured and beaten for attempted treason by Wiggins, Shang Tsung had to step in again and completely lock his memories into the darkest reaches of his mind, so he would not be distracted by emotions or past memories.

He would later work at Outworld Enterprises, who had recently set up as a cover for Shao Kahn's intent to conquer the realms, he would meet Ermac, who was another worker that would help Shao Kahn win the 10 consecutive Mortal Kombats needed to control Earthrealm. They were quite successful with the first nine, until a warrior named Liu Kang had finally won and freed Earthrealm from becoming Outworld property. Ermac and Rain had learned that Shao Kahn, as punishment for losing that Mortal Kombat would take away their vacation hours and their health care benefits. Ermac had enough of it and threatened to leave, Rain was hesitant about leaving because he knew he had no other life other than being Kahn's assassin. Upon hearing this, Ermac helped him broaden his horizons to the numerous opportunities that living in Earthrealm could offer him, Rain accepted and left with Ermac to Earthrealm. The former prince and the enigma had found a place to live in Earthrealm Springs, California where they would meet Scorpion once again, Sub-Zero and his friend Smoke.
