Get the look of Raiden with a Coolie Hat, a White Cape, a Wooden Staff, a full Raiden Costume, and Rikio White Jikatab boots. Raiden’s look is unique to his character and you won’t catch it anywhere else- especially not with lightning bolts shoot from his hands!

About Raiden
Raiden is one of the first and longest lasting characters on the video game series, Moral Kombat. Raiden is more powerful than most of the characters, which is why most people choose to fight with him throughout their gaming experience. His powers consist of controlling thunder and lightning, teleportation, and he can fly at his most powerful times while combating.
During his fighting years, Raiden defeated so many competitors that he finally became a god. This only strengthened his powers, and made him nearly impossible to defeat. The only time he can actually compete in a Mortal Kombat tournament is when he takes his moral form and his godly powers are taken away from him. This happens when he enters someone else’s domain, because this is not his land and he cannot use the powers that were given to him. Even still, Raiden is one of the fiercest warriors in the gaming series.
