There is no greater martial arts movie star than Johnny Cage. Films such
as "Dragon Fist", "Time Smashers" and "Citizen Cage" have made him one of
the most highly paid actors in Hollywood. But there is more to Johnny than
even he knows. He is a descendant of an ancient Mediterranean cult who bred
warriors for the gods -- warriors who possessed power beyond that of mortals.
This legacy has made Johnny Cage a star. More important, it will aid him in
the battle to come.
