Kano’s eye was replaced with a cybernetic implant after he lost it.
Kano, a character from the Mortal Kombat video game series, is known for his iconic metal faceplate and red cybernetic eye. According to the series’ lore, Kano was originally a member of the Black Dragon crime syndicate. During a brutal encounter, he sustained a grievous injury to his face, resulting in the loss of his original eye. To enhance his combat abilities and replace his lost eye, Kano had a cybernetic eye implanted. This implant not only restored his vision but also granted him various abilities, such as emitting laser beams and enhancing his targeting and combat precision. The cybernetic eye became one of Kano’s signature features, distinguishing him from other characters in the Mortal Kombat universe and symbolizing his ruthless nature and willingness to augment himself with technology to gain power.
