After getting his start as a background character (then known as Torch) in the Pit 2 level of Mortal Kombat II, Blaze eventually got a promotion, becoming the final boss of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. All the character endings in the game revolved around Blaze, with the victor inheriting his immense power. When Blaze was initially created by a group of holy men, he was bound by magic to protect the last Great Dragon Egg of the Dragon King. Although that doesn't sound like the job of a badass, you'll change your mind once you see Blaze steamrolling his way towards you.
