According to the second origin story, Rain was once a mortal man who lived on Earthrealm.
He was a talented warrior, but he was consumed by his thirst for power.
In his quest for power, he stumbled upon an ancient temple deep in the rainforest, where he discovered a magical artifact that granted him control over water.
With his newfound abilities, he rose to prominence as a feared fighter, but he was eventually defeated and banished to the Netherrealm.
