oh it's you with a great video game you
need a great villain to get you
motivated welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 video game villains garden
just to be clear we're focusing on sole
villains not villainous factions or
empires like the Templars plus we're
sticking to the usual one character per
franchise and we're also excluding any
balance that didn't originate from video
games
that means you Joker so what do we have
here number 10
boss Montenegro Far Cry 3 I'm sorry I
don't like the way you are looking let's
start things off with the only villain
on this list so far that is only starred
in just one game yet left a big enough
impression on us to make the list a
charismatic yet psychotic pirate bosses
biggest strength comes from the
fantastic performance by Michael mando
highlighted by this iconic monologue did
I ever tell you the definition of
insanity
number nine dr. Albert W Wiley Mega Man
series a scientist driven to madness
over jealousy towards his former
colleague dr. light Wiley is best known
for trying to take over the world with a
team of robot masters who are quickly
bested by mega man usually then begs for
his life saying he won't do it again
and then does it all over again
nevertheless the number of times he's
caused chaos throughout the years earns
him the ninth spot number eight Shao
Kahn Mortal Kombat series
this ten thousand year old emperor of
the realm of Outworld
has been on an endless quest to conquer
and merge the other realms with his
while also devouring the souls of
innocent victims in order to live as
long as he has also he's a pretty
distracting heckler during a battle we
have died on the battlefield Caan is a
behemoth easily towering over any of his
foes and also strong enough to rip the
human apart with his bare hands so car
winds down number 7 Albert Wesker
Resident Evil series what just to be
clear this is the real Albert Wesker
whereas this is some Agent Smith wannabe
you should have brought more Wesker has
been slowly building his plan over the
years from luring his own elite team
into a mansion to test the potency of
biological weapons and as the series
progressed made himself superhuman and
planned to turn all living things on the
planet into biological monsters I'm not
destroying the world I'm saving it
Albert Wesker is the true epitome of
evil douchebags
Genisys is it
and I will be the correct uh number six
cane command & Conquer series as I
predicted commander a spot in my inner
circle has recently opened up
congratulations you're my second in
command the main antagonist of the
Tiberium saga Cain is a man that somehow
has lived hundreds of years yet doesn't
seem to age using his own twisted
religious ideology after the arrival of
a lethal alien element known as Tiberium
Cain uses this valuable mineral to build
his army known as the Brotherhood of Nod
by taking advantage of less privileged
nations and causing three world wars it
also seems that every time around his
own generals have questioned his motives
and as such they don't last long oh and
congratulations on your promotion number
five
Arthas Warcraft series I've
Blizzard's own version of darth vader
Arthas Prince of Lordaeron is first
introduced in Warcraft 3 as a good guy
before being turned to the dark scene
before being cursed by the blade
Frostmourne murdering his own father and
becoming the lich king he makes a return
in the World of Warcraft expansion Wrath
of the Lich King and now has a few
friends for you to meet number 4
Sephiroth actually number 4 kefka
Palazzo Final Fantasy 6 expecting
Sephiroth I see a poser while he may
look badass standing in a flaming
inferno if slightly effeminate in terms
of evil accomplishments however kefka is
leaps and bounds ahead of any other
Final Fantasy villain let's see he
poisons an entire village just to enjoy
hearing their screams he commits
genocide against an ancient race known
as espers and most notably
he destroys an entire world and appoints
himself as a God among the survivors
memories are never meaningful to fall
captive to such a thing such a waste
number 3 Bowser Super Mario series
mention the term video game villain to
anyone and its most likely that this is
the first guy they'll think up sometimes
referred to as King Koopa he first
appeared in Super Mario Bros where
according to the instruction manual he
can use dark magic to turn the citizens
of the Mushroom Kingdom into Piranha
Plants and floating bricks
you know those bricks that Mario breaks
routinely with his hip oh god what have
we done number two
GLaDOS portal series I've been really
busy being dead you know after you
murdered me did what if there's one
thing we've learned here at watch mojo
thanks to all the movies we've watched
is that self-aware AIS will probably try
to kill you so we should at least be
thankful that GLaDOS delivers some
hilariously snide lines as she leads you
along towards the cake that never was
well done here come the test results you
are a horrible person that's what it
says a horrible person by the way
apparently she's also useful in
launching giant robots thanks to a nice
little cameo appearance in Pacific Rim
this late must not be calibrated to
someone of your generous miss I'll add a
few zeroes to the maximum wait before we
get to the greatest villain of them all
let's have a look at some honorable
mentions so unnecessary precaution not
unusual for
people who know what you and I know
fire riddles you saucy female what do
you mean ah
Oh destroying the reserves God robots in
his part stay tuned so morning work of
shadow revolver ocelot number one
Ganondorf The Legend of Zelda series
also sometimes referred to as Ganon like
Kefka Ganondorf takes the top spot
thanks to his track record in ocarina of
time he murders the king of Hyrule and
uses the Triforce of power to rule the
land with an iron fist and that's just
for starters in Twilight Princess he is
sentenced to be executed by a sword
through the chest and survives
oh and thanks to the Triforce of power
he can and inevitably always does turn
into a variety of powerful monsters do
you agree with our list our execution of
that mission was exquisite which video
game villain left an impression on you
we both said a lot of things that you're
going to regret for more
