you’ve spent plenty of time boiling
their evil plans
maybe his time they got there go as the
star of the show welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video game villains that deserve their
own game with this list we’re taking a
look at the bad guys who still have much
of their backstory to be revealed and
whose character would be a worthwhile
exploration as part of their existing
lore their traits may even lend
themselves to creating new gameplay
mechanics that could take their
franchise in a different direction some
of these entries do have spoilers so be
warned
number ten Ganondorf The Legend of Zelda
series
fern antagonist whose presence is felt
through every single game in the fantasy
adventure series we know very little
about the king of Giroud oh all we’ve
learned is that he’s the only male of
his species is the reincarnation of the
demon demise and believes his fate is to
relentlessly seek Dominion for his
people that’s a pretty darn barren
backstory for an arch-villain of one of
the most influential franchises ever but
think about this since he’s always
trying to get that Triforce just like
link againand or game wouldn’t
necessarily have to be radically
different from a gameplay perspective
except this time he’d be working to lock
up the seven sages and all that jazz
number nine vial Mega Man X series X why
does it have to be you we’ve already had
a chance to play as the Boba Fett look
like in the vial mode of maverick Hunter
X but a proper game could allow us to
see more about this rep light who takes
orders from nobody I’d love to stay and
play boys but I’m afraid I have too much
work to he despises Mega Man X as he
believes he’s the most powerful warrior
in the world and his utter lack of
restraint in hurting others is in stark
contrast to the goody-two-shoes X we’d
love to see his tumultuous time as a
maverick hunter and as his name might
suggest we might be in for some pretty
vile fighting how nice to see you again
X file number eight handsome Jack
borderland series hey you’re right on
time even when Jax meant to be dead you
can’t keep him out of the action of this
sci-fi adventure series in tales of
Borderlands his consciousness manifests
as a hologram but he has lost none of
his trademark wit and desire to dominate
Pandora I can’t believe it well that
you’re finally in charge he’ll be
surprised yet he’s also lost none of his
delusion as he still believes that he’s
somehow the hero by trying to wipe out a
large portion of Pandora’s population
hey maybe he’s right we just need to see
it from his perspective wait
haha now that his mind is floating
around somewhere in the ether there’s no
limit to where he might go as a
character you’re a murderer hey
subjective but you know what’s not
subjective is that you need me to get
off this frickin space station number
seven Foss Montenegro far cry 3 did I
ever tell you the definition of insanity
when you’re neither the main antagonist
nor the protagonist in the game and
you’re still the biggest image on the
cover art you know your character is
doing something right
hello and welcome to my show today we do
our first torture the developers of this
FPS managed to create a sociopath that
defined the stereotypical brutish
henchmen and instead made a pirate lord
who had some of the best moments in
video gaming ever
they say boss but who the fuck is it
going to pay damn hey my dad his iconic
insanity monologue gave a small insight
into the tortured psyche of the man and
we’ve mentioned this before but we’d
love to be behind the scenes as his
earlier life of crime rapidly becomes
his greatest pleasure know with more
emotion you can do it on income number 6
the aliens
XCOM series these beings from outer
space are your main adversaries in a
sci-fi series that has spanned a number
of genres and their motivations could be
considered as more interesting than that
of the humans
in between the rebooted enemy unknown
and ex Hong to the aliens won the war
and by the events of the second game
have taken over the planet so the player
could potentially be in control of their
campaign to conquer earth you could
research the ultimate psionic warrior
build shimmering new cities and stamp
out the last remnants of Earth’s
resistance ex-con to left many
unanswered questions and this prequel
could reveal what the alien elders were
trying to hide number 5 wolf O’Donnell
and the star wolf team Star Fox series
that’s as far as you go
I do hope you like on you
so many of the good characters of this
series are seen as sweet but relatively
simple so the gruff x space pirate with
a troubled past might make for a more
complex protagonist movie piñas bad
Coon pop Fox is really familiar with
Star Wolf when players first meet him
but we know nothing about their history
together
it feels like there is something
Nintendo isn’t telling us about the
leader of Star Wolf team and fans would
probably want to know what it is in
recent games he has moved more into
antihero territory and even if he is
good at heart his mill and his history
remains nonetheless intriguing what are
you doing here you’re the one who
dropped in unannounced if anyone’s gonna
Tan your hide it’s gonna be me number
four Sephiroth Final Fantasy 7
if you know you’re gaming you probably
know how much of a huge fan following
this guy has this genetically engineered
super soldier with iconic hair and an
oversized katana fits the bill very well
for a spinoff we seek it thus and take
to the sky aside from his iconic image
is hugely popular as his reasons for
turning evil are incredibly relatable he
had been misled about his origins and
used by the Shinra corporation all his
life for their own personal gain you
can’t blame him for turning a little
loopy Emma ray she’s a monster
Oh his full capacities aren’t even know
so the best way to find out is surely
for him to have his own game
number three Frank Fontaine Bioshock
series no I can’t I owe you
once you realize how much of a hand this
conman had and facilitating the events
of the game you’ll be desperate to see
it all for yourself prior to faking his
death and becoming Atlas he was fighting
Andrew Ryan for control of rapture
creating the little sisters and even
kindly manipulating Jack the protagonist
of the first game weld is more than one
way to fry an egg the very best con
artists need a seriously long game and
this master schemer has been laying
plans for his benefit ever since he was
a week on kid number two
Bowser Super Mario series we’ve had
plenty of opportunities to play tennis
and golf with the King Koopa but it is
high time that this fan favorite did
something other than just kidnap
Princess Peach almost every other main
character has add their own title so it
seems very odd that the main villain of
the series has yet to have the
opportunity to create his own tale after
so many of his schemes have been foiled
by Mario and his pals it only seems fair
that Big B has a change of fortune and
scores at least one win over the
mustachioed plumber
before we reveal our top pick let’s have
a look at some honorable mentions not
bad not every man gets to know the price
on his hand
number one liquid snake Metal Gear
series I won’t die as long as you still
there
even before he hit his teens this big
boss clone was leading a group of child
soldiers in Africa and giving venom
snake a run for his money
in the phantom pain eventually he
escaped with Metal Gear selanne through
fuss and then well there’s a 10-year gap
between men and the first Metal Gear
Solid game there aren’t too many details
about his decade-long hiatus although we
do know that he was in the SAS and
eventually ended up with the US
government but everything else about
Solid Snake’s twin is a mystery falling
in love with a man who doesn’t even have
a name big boss’s story has now pretty
much run its course so it’s time to let
us see more of liquids helicopter
piloting badassery are you ready now my
brother why are you calling me brother
what the hell are you hi do you agree
