Funny. I thought this guy had a respect thread awhile back, but I guess not. No matter..

Origin: Earthrealm Race: Human Age: Unknown Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown Hair White Fighting Styles: Mantis, Shaolin Fist, Dan Tien Dao Family: Unknown Occupation: Champion of the Elder Gods Special Skill: Ability to absorb the fighting styles and special attack patterns of warriors he encounters with great ease.
Heh. I sucked with the Mantis and Shaolin Fist fighting styles, which gave me a hard time against Scorpion at the end of Deception's Konquest mode, especially when I played it on the hardest difficulty, but I still loved using Shujinko for his decent arsenal of stolen fighting techniques.
Overall though, this guy is like my favorite hero in the MK universe (if you can even consider him one). Liked him way more than Liu Lame and Kung Lao. Taven was meh.

Thus one could say he knows all the powers and styles of all those fighters, even the ones he didn't train under. Even with just the under, that gives him:
-24 different fighting styles
-12 different weapon styles
-ice manipulation (Sub-Zero)
-telekinesis (Kenshi, Ermac)
-fire manipulation (Scorpion)
-lightning manipulation (Nightwolf)
-Teleportation (a few different fighters)
-his body can bend in unnatural ways (Havik). Like breaking his neck and then righting it with no problem.
-Can fight effectively without his eyes (Kenshi)
Canonically, he defeated Onaga in Deception: http://mkw.mortalkombatonline.com/mka/onaga/
"My pawn Shujinko had grown more powerful than I ever anticipated. Rallying warriors to his cause, he absorbed their fighting abilities and shattered the six Kamidogu, rendering me vulnerable. Only the amulet I had retrieved from the sorcerer Quan Chi gave me protection. "
Also I've been wandering around in Deception Konquest and there are apparently other fighters Shujinko can take powers from. Right now I've only found Kira but there might be more.
