CHAPTER 1: Origin Of The Brows

Long ago when just a child, Ed Boon was a regular guy. He had a normal life as it seemed and lived happily with his parents and sibling(s) (I didn't research but know he has a bro). However, as he grew older and got bigger, his eyebrows did not. He had the weakest eyebrows in his entire family. They laughed at him and mocked him for this. So for years Ed Boon lived in sadness and even tried to cover up his eyebrows so no one would laugh. Life was sad for Boon.

He was cast out of his family and sent to live a life as a man with weak eyebrows. For years he wanderd the Earth wearing a mask, ashamed of what he had been created as. He sometimes even considered suicide an option. He even tried finding religion in the Christian church. Nothing was as it seemed. He knew he could never go back...

Then one day, he came across a warrior named John Tobias. He saw what Boon was going through and knew he had the power to change him. Tobias had been very skilled in granting people miracles. He only asked for one thing in return: to complete a mission. That mission would prove to be a hard one for the young game creator.

Boon was to go with him and help turn Tobias' ideas into a video game. Tobias could not do this alone and he knew that Ed was a very persuasive person when he could be. It was a great many years and Ed Boon went through many studies until one day, the team called Midway granted him this wish. The video game was going to be made, and Tobias was forever greatful to Boon. He used his vast powers to grant Boon eyebrows of unimaginable power and greatness. It may have been his biggest mistake of his life.

Chapter 2: When Good Brows Go Bad

It was not too long after that Boon and Tobias had got deep into making their first video game together. It was going to be called: Mortal. Not too many characters were created and they had got far with their stories. Boon didn't do as much as Tobias, however. John had all of the great ideas. His stories made the project seem unstoppable. It would be an awesome fighting game.

Boon used his eyebrows for good in the time being. He used them with game development and even helped with normal household uses. It was a gift that all men of the time wished for. But after getting deep into the gaming project, memories of being cast out into public and living a disgrace to his family returned. He knew there was only one answer as to what to do with his newfound powers...revenge(reason why he incorporated it into Scorpion's story and called him his favorite). Boon realized that he could use his brows to torture those who mocked him and with this game, do it just right.

Not too many people were in the team. Only Boon, Tobias, and a few other unimportant people. Ed Boon wanted the best for this game. So he started searching the globe for who he saw as his "chosen warriors". Not of which the least consisted of John Vogel, Steve Baran, and Carlos Pesina. They were brought into the team as co-workers but as slaves to Boon's controlling will. Tobias did not know of Boon's doing though.

All was going well for Boon. He even made a quote saying "Anything is possible if you put your eyebrows to it." But his chosen warriors were failing in their duties. While out one day he met a man who called himself Steve Ritchie. The man was genious. Boon saw him at a rando place and decided to talk with him. The eyebrows sensed much in him.

Ritchie suggested many things that he would do with the game. He even brought up using "Kombat" in the name of the game Boon chatted with him about. And yes, in real life he publically used quotes like "You weak, pathetic fool!" and "It's official, you suck!" That was it. Boon had to have him. He was sure Steve would turn him down so he took control of his will and lured him back to his office. There he would be a slave forever.

Steve unwillingly spilled all of his ideas to him, and then Boon gave them to add to Tobias' list. The game eventually would reach arcades and hit with a tremendous impact. Boon's added ideas stolen from Ritchie including blood and gore and the "K" in places of words that began with the letter "C" was flawless...that word made it in as well. The games attracted children and began to poison their minds with violence.

Tobias was suspicious. He knew something was up with Boon. He just couldn't put his finger on it. The game didn't seem like it would've been as big of a hit as it had been. So he started sneaking on Boon. Watching his every move. They felt less trustworthy with each other over time. Even a rivalry seemed to start between their ideas. But nonetheless, Boon felt powerful. And the more people that played the game, the more powerful he became. He had created a direct link between his eyebrows and the arcade game. But he soon discovered that this wasn't enough. He suggested that there was only one thing to do now; create Mortal Kombat 2.
