The profile was supposed to get some changes for a long time, but they never happened, so its about time to get to them
Speed
First i wanna talk about his speed, currently he scales from Shao Kahn, for being stronger then him, which is fair i guess as he is a fusion of him and Darkseid, but he should also scale to Darkseid, more specifically Injustice version, reason being that the crossover across Injustice 2 and MK11 is referenced, including Dark Kahn, even Darkseid remembers it, will list some of them here:
Injustice 2
1)Joker: You look familiar...
Subzero: We joined in kombat against Dark Kahn
Joker: Sadly you won't outlive me
2)Flash: Oh no. Not again
Subzero: This realm must prepare for kombat
Flash: I pick up when duty calls
3)Subzero: I did not expect we would meet again
Catwoman: Fancy meeting you here darling
Subzero: We must prepare ourselves for dark magic
4)Darkseid: We have met before
Subzero: Of that I'm painfully aware
5)Batman: Thanks for coming back
Raiden: My aid can tip the balance against Brainiac?
Batman: We're about to find out
6)Raiden: When we last met I respected you
Superman: Are you gonna turn on me too?
Raiden: I will act as needed to save your realm
7)Superman: You're leaving Earth, now!
Raiden: We were allies on Apokolips Superman
Superman: Here we're not
8)Darkseid: We have met before
Raiden: Dark Kahn! Of course!
9)Joker: Met the other lighting guy?
Black Adam: With the bamboo hat? Yes
Mortal Kombat 11
1)Joker: We didn't meet the last time I was here
Cassie Cage: This isn't your first visit?
Joker: Nobody told you? I was all the rage
2)Sonya Blade: There a reason you've came back?
Joker: Don't worry. The punchline's coming soon
Sonya Blade: Over my dead body, clown
3)Sonya Blade: Had enough of you the first time
Joker: Aww, don't like losing in graveyards?
Sonya Blade: Not to some face-painted freak
4)Joker: Whatever happened to Dark Kahn?
Kotal Kahn: Dark Kahn?
Joker: Oh that's right, you missed it
5)Scorpion: You, I remember all to well
Joker: Aww, the back of your head still hurting?
Scorpion: I should've burned you right then and there
6)Raiden: I dreamt of a strange and unjust world
Subzero: With a dark knight and a caped wonder?
Raiden: How could you know my dream?
7)Cetrion: I have seen the world beyond the realms
Subzero: Then Raiden and I did go there?
Cetrion: It was no dream Subzero
And not just that, but Dominic Cianciolo, who is a story and voiceover director at NetherRealm Studios has spoken in regards to that not long ago:
" Dominic Cianciolo: It's something that's often been asked of us, whether after the mass confrontation, between Raiden and Liu Kang whether or not to trust Shang Tsung, which directly calls back to a similar beat in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is intended to make those events of MK DC canon. And the answer is yes, definitely. For sure. Uh, we can assume that those events happened in one of Kronika's many previous timelines. Clearly she thought it was a mistake because she rolled it back and got rid of it. But yeah, when we looked at this idea of multiple timelines, we were hoping to be able to integrate a lot of you know, past lore including Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. It was a lot of fun for us to be able to reference that back and we knew that our most observant fans and those fans that have been with us through the whole history of the game we're going to pick up on that and see that similarity. "
This should suffice to say Dark Kahn scales to Darkseid speed rating he currently has, from its injustice version, since that Darkseid fused with Shao Kahn to create him in the first place, its all but confirmed too with the canonicity.
In case thats not accepted for whatever reason may be, then he should at least scale out from Flash, who is said in the crossover profile of the character to be reaching nearly the speed of light, Dark Kahn obviously scales since it took the combined power of both Superman and Raiden, amped up even, in order to defeat him for good. So regardless a speed upgrade is to come out of this.
Haxes
He needs either some justification for many of them, a change in them or even some new ones added to the profile so imma go through all of these from what i could gather:
1) Weapon Mastery (has access to Shao Kahn hammer, which he wields as skillfully as him)
2) Energy Manipulation (can amplify some of his attacks with yellow energy surrounding him)
3) Existence Erasure (he was responsible for the disappearance of certain characters from both Mortal Kombat and DC, as he erased their existence)
4) Forcefield and Attack Reflection (can generate a barrier which can send attacks back to the opponent, he also shown he can reflect attacks back with his hand)
5) Flight (shown the capability of flying)
6) Immortality (Type 1, 3 and 6, scaling from both Shao Kahn and Darkseid, his consciousness will still exist and attempt to possesses others body)
7) Light and Sound Manipulation (capable of generating blinding yellow flashes of light and deafening thunderclaps)
8) Magma Manipulation (can blast opponents with molten rock projectiles)
9) Reality Warping (was warping both the Mortal Kombat and DC universes into one by his mere existence)
10) Empathic Manipulation and Telepathy (can talk telepathically with others in their head and through his kombat rage, he can manipulate others minds to turn against even their allies and succumb them into madness, has done it on all heroes and villains of both universes, can even do it on a whole race, like the Tarkatans, from which Baraka is apart of)
11) Illusion Creation (made Sonya believe that Jax was Kano, as well as Liu Kang think that Batman was Shang Tsung)
12) BFR (Dark Kahn has teleported characters from both universes into each others universe)
13) Possession and Non-Conporeal (Dark Kahn consciousness can possesses others body even after he was destroyed)
14) Statistics amplifications and reductions (can amplify and reduce the power of others)
15) Teleportation (shown the ability to teleport)
16) Master Martial Artist (Scales from Shao Kahn, as he possesses his skill and fighting styles)
17) Limited Invulnerability (via kombat rage, Dark Kahn can make himself invincible for a short duration of time)
The others haxes listed there coming from the comic book Darkseid should be removed and instead use those of its injustice counterpart, as well anything described in his crossover character profile as well, also any link directing to comic book Darkseid should be removed and be replaced with Injustice version as already said
AP, Durability and Intelligence
Now these last 3 things just need to receive a better justification with more solid evidence.
First for Intelligence should again be scaled from both Shao Kahn and Darkseid (injustice), and given the following justification:
Gifted (he has the memories of both Shao Kahn and Darkseid, which would give him both their fighting skills, experience and intellect)
Now for AP it should be as this:
Low Multiverse level (has been stated numerous time throughout the story mode of both sides of the video game, as well as the prequel comic book, that Dark Kahn was merging both the Mortal Kombat and DC universes into one, including their time and space, his destruction undone the merging of the two universes at the end of the game)
And finally Durability as this:
Low Multiversal (took the combined efforts of both Superman and Raiden amped up by the kombat rage, in order to kill him for good)
