What is the mysterious power wielded by Johnny & Cassie Cage?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
In the semi-reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise, Mortal Kombat X, the story begins with a flashback. Among other things, we see Johnny Cage suddenly
develop a new ability wherein he glows green and appears "super-charged" with some kind of mystical energy.
He is never able to do it again, apparently, although twenty years later his daughter Cassie shows the same ability and uses it to
defeat Shinnok in his demonic form, thus saving reality.
Both Raiden and Shinnok referred to this ability only as "the power". Has this "power" been explained or further developed in the time since?

It has never really been explained. The best description comes from Mortal Kombat X, in which Johnny Cage mentions that Raiden told him that he is
descended from some Mediterranean war cult. "Bred as warriors for the gods."
The recently released Mortal Kombat 11 explores the pasts of some the characters -- including Johnny Cage, whose younger self knows the power (see, e.g. this video in which the younger Johnny Cage uses it against his older self in story mode). However, the power is only mentioned in passing (e.g. Jacqui Briggs tells the younger Jax that "the Cages are born with crazy magic powers") and no further explanation of it is given.
Johnny Cage's page on the Mortal Kombat wiki is limited to the same information about the origin of his power, and the answer to a similar question on Arqade merely quotes the same wiki article.
