Shao Kahn:
One of the primary villains in the Mortal Kombat series, Shao Kahn is the Emperor of Outworld. He is known for his godlike strength, extreme callousness, brutality and his enjoyment of executions, but rises above the level of a mere warlord through his intelligence and knowledge of black magic. Like his subordinate Shang Tsung, he has the power to consume others' souls. His greatest strength is probably his ability to work towards his goals with great tenacity and his ability to organize, but his greatest weaknesses are his arrogance and his overconfidence.

Modern-Superman:
Kal-El is the modern Superman. The history of Superman was modified after the Crisis on Infinite Earths in The Man of Steel (1986) miniseries by John Byrne, and later revised in Superman: Birthright (2003) by Mark Waid. Superman's backstory was further modified following the events of Infinite Crisis (2006). Many of the Silver Age elements of Superman's biography removed in The Man of Steel have been restored in the continuity changes of the last few years. Nonetheless, much of the Man of Steel revamp remains in place.
