While Kano gets a lot better at handling insults (Even embracing them at times, like the tongue wagging villain he knows he is viewed as) the older he gets, the one thing that still rubs him off the wrong way years later is when he is made fun off with inaccurate Australian stereotypes. It will take EVERYTHING in him to not explode, when someone says "Shrimp on the barbie!" or mentions Fosters Lager (A beer advertised to be the Australian choice, but in truth, is hardly sold in that country).

I can see this version of Kano attaining his CYBERNETIC ENHANCEMENTS later on in the story, if they decide to go in that direction by the next movie or even after that.

The older Kano gets, the more he likely deems it a necessity to upgrade his weakening body. Especially as he carries on in his life of crime. And ESPECIALLY when he gets involved in more dangerous transactions, and starts doing business with realms outside of his own.

Besides the inevitability of getting weaker with age, if there was an option to upgrade himself (Especially with the money and connections that he has), then he will most likely go for it. The CYBERNETIC EYE especially would be able to magnify the power of his laser eye ability, something that he will most definitely take enjoyment out of-- when frying more victims with it in the future.

Based off this little scene in the first movie, as I HC this guy to be around his mid-30s, Kano had most likely lost his mother at a very, very young age. Possibly when he was around 3 or 4 years old.

And so, he has absolutely no idea what she was really like. Only able to get bits and bobs from those that at least knew her, such as this cargo plane pilot lady.

And while this scene was mostly played off as a joke (As most scenes with Kano are), this scene also shows an unexpectedly soft and sympathetic side to him. He seems to view his mother in a fond, if not loving light, to a point that he imagined himself getting gifts for her and whatnot, had she still been around at the time.

His father, on the other hand... is another story.

I can see this foul-mouthed bugger actually being the praising sort during sex. With gentle rumblings of "good girl/boy" and even "sweetheart" or "darling" into the other's ear. Or while they are riding him, with him holding encouragingly onto their hips with those rough ol' hands of his. 👍

Rewatching the second movie, and Kano needs a bath so damn bad, man, LOL!

Like, the others had the time to clean up in the aftermath of Shao Kahn's defeat, but then there's this guy out here still looking like he did when he was first brought back from the dead.

He has plenty to be confused about here. “He” could mean, well, either of them, but in Rocky’s case, he’s thick in the process of trying to understand what could possibly be gained from kicking a presumed pile of rocks—yes, he absolutely noticed where his foot had been going—when his brain stutters on the words that come out of him next. He’d be squinting if he could. But, as things stand, all Rocky ends up doing is cocking his carapace as the stranger bends down for a closer look.

“No. Will not fuck.” This human really likes that specific word, too. Rocky has no trouble deciding it’s embellishment to his speech more than it is the anger for which some exclusively utilize it. “Hello! I am Rocky!” Not only that, but he receives that sort of talk as an invitation to do the same. “A fucking Eridian!” He wobbles excitedly. “Happy you not kick. Would hurt self.”

HIS LITTLE SMIRK WOULD FALL, the moment those first few words left the creature. And in what was the most NORMAL FUCKIN' VOICE he had ever heard out of a bloody rock, no less! Kano was so genuinely caught off guard by this, that this would allow the lil' fella carry on in introducing himself to him. Without being interrupted (A favourite pastime) by the man that was still dumbly kneeling and gawking at him then.

Eventually, however, a GUFFAW has the mercenary nearly falling back upon his own arse. Tears even pricking in the very corners of his eyes, as he needs that moment to at least stand back up and gather himself.

"Rocky... fuck me, of course your name's ROCKY! Now all ya need now's a pair of boxin' gloves!" He chuckled briefly over they very image alone, "Heh, a fuckin' Eridian, aye? Don't know what the fuck that is, but a'ight. Sounds real fancy, mate." Especially for a rock named Rocky. "Sooo... you're an alien then, right?"

For despite going through some pretty insane bullshit as of late (Such as fighting and killing a salamander man, getting superpowers, and FUCKIN' DYING AND COMING RIGHT BACK--), Kano had to remind himself that this was the very first time that he would get to meet with life from another planet! He wasn't sure what he had expected to come from all the way out there, but it certainly wasn't this wee lad. Not that he was disappointed or anything, nah. At least it wasn't some fuckin' XENOMORPH, or they'd be fucked--

And as Kano began to kneel back down in front Rocky, his grin only grew at the other's infectiously excited wobbling. "Yea, my bad, mate. I just thought someone around 'ere got bored an' built ya from a bunch of rocks and pebbles!"

I feel that if anyone pulls a "I can't believe you would hit a girl!" on Kano while fighting him, he wouldn't fall for it... Well, not in the usual way. He would just taunt them some more for being a crybaby, allowing them a possible chance to sweep his ankles.
