[[File:MK3U-10_Rain.png|thumb|right|150px|UMK3 Character Design by John Tobias]] Rain was originally meant to appear in ''[[Mortal Kombat 3]]'', but didn't actually appear until ''[[Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3]]''. Rain is also the first playable male Edenia charater. Rain was originally a red herring inserted by the game developers; a character shown in the game's attract mode who did not actually exist within the game itself. A recent interview reveals that the insert was made by [[Ed Boon]] himself to intentionally trick players. Many ''MK'' fans searched for him in vain, with the eventual realization of his status as a joke character (named after a [[wikipedia:Prince (artist)|Prince]] song, "[[wikipedia:Purple Rain (song)|Purple Rain]]") dawning. The joke expands further when it is revealed that Rain is a "prince" himself. He would, however, soon make an actual appearance in the console versions of ''[[Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3]]'', and ''[[Mortal Kombat Trilogy]]'' as a full-fledged character with his own history (that of a traitor to his realm), and move set, to the delight of many fans, as well as the chagrin of others. His popularity is mixed within the ''MK'' fanbase. He is a DLC character for [[Mortal Kombat (2011 video game)|Mortal Kombat (2011)]], released on July 19th. His debut gameplay trailer was released on July 11th.
