Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids.

Raiden is a guest character from Mortal Kombat, who appears as a downloadable character in Injustice 2.

In the Injustice version, Raiden did not succumb to Jinsei’s corruption which may have turned him into Dark Raiden, unlike in the original Mortal Kombat X story ending.
