guys that refuse to give up and have
made multiple appearances throughout
their respective series we’ll only be
looking at individual characters so
factions like the covenant won’t be
showing up here our choices were based
on a mixture of fan votes popularity and
our own personal preferences number 10
Ridley Metroid series when you think
space pirate the last thing you’d expect
to come face-to-face with is a giant
mutated pterodactyl unluckily for you
this beast is highly intelligent and
simply refuses to die the archenemy of
legendary intergalactic bounty hunter
Samus Ridley is the one responsible for
her parents death as you can imagine the
two don’t exactly get along as a result
but this rivalry has given way to some
of the best battles in the entire
Metroid series
you can blast him to pieces all you want
but chances are he’ll just come back
with a brand new cybernetic makeover end
a serious grudge number nine am bison
Street Fighter series I don’t know who
you are nor do I care of all the
fighting game bosses out there not have
been more persistent than this cloaked
Menace regarded as the poster boy for
Street Fighter antagonists bison is both
the boss of the criminal syndicate
shadaloo as well as the dictator of a
Far East country not only does he have
multiple governments in his pockets but
he’s also a powerhouse in his own right
with the hilariously titled but
devastating psycho power at his disposal
bison keeps on coming back tournament
after tournament no matter how many
times Ryu knocks the crap out of him a
Breit lechuck Monkey Island series
another group of recruits for my army of
the undead the heart wants what the
heart wants and in the case of this
undead pirate all he desires is the
affection of the beautiful Elaine Marley
and to kill her husband and series
protagonist Guybrush Threepwood while
he’s at it
the Chuck’s giving me a bit of the
business the truck isn’t one to take no
for an answer
and despite being constantly rejected by
Elaine and thwarted by guy brush he ends
up reincarnated to time after time in
order to try a new Lane shall pass
through the hoary gates of big Nick just
as I once did you have to admire the
dedication of someone who manages to
transcend death so many times he ends up
coming back as a ghost a zombie and even
a demon that is quite distance away n–
how do you expect to be elected once i
tell everyone you’re really lechuck
number 7
dr. neocortex crash bandicoot series
this time I shall reign triumphing you
reap watch yourself or in this instance
what you make in a lab
the egotistical mad genius responsible
for the creation of our favorite
Bandicoot cortex has been defeated in
his every endeavor by crash while we
certainly had an air of threat about him
in the first few entries of the series
he has since become a lot more comical
due to his growing insanity over his
constant losses while we do hate to kick
a man while he’s down there’s nothing
more hilarious than ruining the doctors
plans over and over again until he
suffers a breakdown kudos for
persistence though I know woman nice big
bags of ice for my head number 6 Kane
command & Conquer series now my son you
must help me unveil phase 2 of this
campaign one way to ensure that your
villains keep coming back for multiple
games is just to go all out and make
them immortal
case in point with the enigmatic leader
of the Brotherhood of Nod known only as
Kane can’t cure the Sun seen as a
messiah figure by his followers this
charming sociopath masterminded events
that would lead to what is known as the
Tiberium Wars before spending decades at
a time in obscurity and then re-emerging
to take control of the Brotherhood once
more once in build up an arsenal of
weapons and use them to wipe out the
remaining GDI presence biblical a name
and terrorist in ideology
you’re not safe from his wrath whether
your friend or foe
a full frontal attack with your
strongest forces should render their
military center of operation number 5
Ganondorf The Legend of Zelda series
some call him Ganon some call him the
dark beast all you need to know is that
this Giroux doe is the greatest threat
that Hyrule has ever faced the
reincarnation of the demon demise
Ganondorf is a master of the dark arts
of magic and a wielder of the Triforce
of power he’s kidnapped Princess Zelda
and battled link over numerous games and
each time he manages to brush off death
to take on the next green mantle hero
his lust for world domination seems to
be unquenchable and no matter how many
times we get to see him stabbed with a
Master Sword we know it’s only a matter
of time before he comes right on back
number 4
dr. wily Mega Man franchise while Sigma
was certainly a fitting villain for the
Mega Man X series we couldn’t deny the
good doctor his turn in a spotlight
maybe if he had just been given a little
recognition he wouldn’t have turned into
such a bastard however I don’t have time
to deal with you being the sorest of
losers wily turned on his partner dr.
light transforming the robot masters
they had made together to help mankind
into killing machines
while he may have constantly been bested
by the Blue Bomber while he has no
shortage of robot masters at his
disposal as long as he keeps building
him this twisted inventor won’t stay
down for very long
number three Dracula Castlevania
franchise
most famous of all vampires didn’t just
dominate the silver screen serving as
the primary antagonist of the series the
king of bloodsuckers has been bested by
multiple members of the Belmont family
and as well as his own son Alucard but
no matter how many whips sticks her
swords he’s slain with he always manages
to come back with a fresh taste for
blood and a hatred from mankind
what is a man a miserable little pile of
secrets whether he’s the main enemy in
need of Festing or it’s just his legacy
felt through other characters the
Castlevania series wouldn’t have endured
if it weren’t for Dracula we raise a
glass of blood to you vampire king just
don’t make us drink it but what profit
is it to a man if he gains the world and
loses his own soul
number 2 dr. Eggman Sonic the Hedgehog
series mad scientist seem to be a
running theme for this list and the most
persistent among them has got to be dr.
Robotnik turn over a new leaf I swear
just give me a chance
can’t agonist to all citizens of Mobius
this rather round man has only one goal
in life to kill that pesky Lightspeed
Hedgehog
despite an army of robots under his
command Eggman has never won a fight
against his nemesis we do give him
credit for picking up so many genius and
in some cases playing old crazy ideas to
best Sonic such as the Deaf age Metal
Sonic and the Eggman fleet while we’re
always waiting to see what contraption
he’s gonna build next you’d think that
after all these losses he’d know when to
call it quits
Wow will I really get that crazy before
we reveal our number one pick here a few
honorable mentions
not this time
number one Bowser Super Mario series
when it comes to kidnapping princesses
and taking absolute defeat in stride
none can top the king of Koopas for over
30 years Bowser has been battling it out
with Mario and Luigi for control of the
Mushroom Kingdom
and every time he’s come up short
despite a never-ending series of castles
an army of minions and the ability to
grow to an immense size Bowser always
ends up getting his comeuppance however
that certainly hasn’t stopped him from
trying as long as there’s a plumber to
squash and a peach to snag no pun
intended
this fire-breathing beast won’t be
backing down anytime soon do you agree
