* Nell's whole chapter. The reader is treated to the fear, horror, and despair she experienced as Kano's captive, starting from the night Kano kidnapped her and ending when Kira helped her escape. She is raped, force fed, cut, and beaten several times and that's not even going into the mental agony she endured. From what little Kevin has revealed about his mother indicates that she ultimately recovered from her trauma and moved on with her life, but that couldn't have been easy, to put it mildly, and does say a lot about what a strong she must have been.

** AbusiveParents in the form of Kano towards Kevin and Kira's parents. Kano raped Kevin's mother with the intention of making her a sex slave until Kira helped her escaped and shows no remorse for torturing Kevin, who at age ten witnessed his mother get run over by a drunk driver. Kira's parents sold her into slavery when she was nine years old and were very abusive before then.

* Raiden. Not only do his [[EvilCostumeSwitch costume]] and voice adopt a DarkIsEvil tone to reflect his status as a TragicVillain and FallenHero, but his actions are horrific. Firstly, he drops Shinnok's still living head at Liu Kang and Kitana's feet, attacks Outworld and would have succeeded in claiming dominion over it had Kotal Kahn not cried out to the Elder Gods for help, kidnaps Cassie and participates in hers and Kevin's torture at Kano's hands, cripples the Lin Kuei to the point that Sub-Zero is rendered comatose while Frost and the other survivors are badly wounded, threatened to murder all the refugees in the Edenian Resistance as well as victimize Takeda to frighten Hanzo, orders Hotaru to destroy Li Mei's village, blackmails Nitara, and manipulates Daegon and Hanzo. There is no limit as to what he will do. It is even stated several times that he worse than Shinnok and Shao Kahn combined, [[BerserkButton just don't tell him that...]]

* Raiden offered Nitara a deal: join him, or he will destroy her people. Having seen what Raiden has done to others, it's no shock Nitara is aware of Raiden's status as a ManipulativeBastard and AxCrazy monster, nor is it shocking that the poor woman is too terrified to risk betraying him.

* In essence, Raiden is a walking Nightmare Fuel, and the Moral Event Horizon above shows why. Genocide, murder, terrorism, kidnapping, torture, strong-arming others into serving him - just how low would he go in committing such savagery while claiming to "protect" Earthrealm?
