Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has revealed the first game was very nearly a licensed Jean-Claude Van Damme title, with the Muscles from Brussels' likeness used in initial demos. Speaking to Gamespot, Boon explained Van Damme sadly wasn't game for the team to let his likeness be used in the long-term, but that's certainly what they were aiming for in the early days. "The first day was us mocking up a bit of a demo using Jean-Claude Van Damme images from Bloodsport," Boon said.
