Life and career[edit]

Ed Boon on Twitter: We ️ you too, but technically this would be Kombat Pack 3. Posted by 8 months ago. Ed Boon on Twitter: We ️ you too. Well, it finally happened. You broke Ed Boon! The Mortal Kombat series co-creator is clearly tired of all of the requests for Mileena that bombard every tweet the man ever puts out — even if. For Mortal Kombat 11 on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Ed Boon twitter post possibly hinting at Jade' - Page 3. 119.1k Followers, 32 Following, 46 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Ed Boon (@noobde).

Boon was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, on February 22, 1964 and graduated from high school at Loyola Academy in Wilmette. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[1]

After graduation, he was employed by Williams Entertainment in their pinball department, working on approximately 20 pinball games over the next two years.[2] During this time, he was called the Mortal Master, an early indicator towards a future creation.

He is the co-creator of the Mortal Kombatfighting game series, along with John Tobias,[3] and served as the series' lead programmer, with Tobias the lead designer, until their partnership dissolved with Tobias' departure from Midway in 2000. Boon named series characters Sonya and Tanya after his sisters Sonia and Tania, while another character, Noob Saibot, was named after Boon and Tobias' reversed surnames. This is also elaborated in their Twitter handles, @noobde and @therealsaibot.[4][5]

Boon was ranked #100 in IGN's 2009 list of 'Top 100 Game Creators' for his involvement in the Mortal Kombat series.[6] He continues to be directly involved with the MK franchise and its multimedia side projects, and has also provided voice acting and motion capture work for the games, most notably providing the voice for the 'Come here!' and 'Get over here!' catchphrases uttered by Scorpion in every installment of the series as well as all feature films. The 2008 edition of Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition consequently awarded him a world record for the 'longest-serving video game voice actor.'

In 2018 Mortal Kombat was exhibited in an arcade cabinet at the Chicago New Media 1973-1992 exhibition, curated by jonCates.[7]
