A short but worthwhile series of testimonies in favor of some of the forgotten video game villains that really deserve some respect and, in my opinion, possibly a revival in the future.

History/Origins:
While few are ever willing to mention his genius or do anything aside from mock him and his projects, there is no doubt that Dr. Neo Cortex is one of the most infamous villains in the word and certainly not a character worth angering on even a good day. As a young child, Cortex was born into a family of circus clowns but ran away at the young age of four, more interested in science than anything his family could have ever taught him. As a young chil

Zero is a mysterious life form whose true purpose and importance on the Kirby universe is still unknown, and even though he may technically be considered to be destroyed, there is no doubt that he is nonetheless potentially one of the more violent villains in said universe.

When Kirby was still very young and had barely gone on

In the Rayman universe, peace and harmony is established in due part thanks to a mysterious object known only as the Great Protoon, an object whose power is said to be nearly infinite and thus serves as the sole source of power within the world. Surrounding it are the smaller beings of power, known only as the Electoons, that gravitate around it like a beacon and use what limited power they have to transfer the device’s power across the world.

It is unknown exactly when Baron Dante was born let alone what his family history may be, but it can at least be said that he has lived a fairly lonely life for most of his existence.

Lost Video Game Villain: Rez by Mutitus, literature
Literature
Lost Video Game Villain: Rez
Name: Rez
Title: Lord of the Media Dimension
Goals: Complete control of the world through bad TV shows and Z-grade films
Current Whereabouts: Unknown
Origins/History:
Rez is a forgotten villain from the time when bad TV shows and Z-grade films were at the peak of their uselessness, and while his story is a bit complex and bizarre, there is no doubting that he is perhaps one of the most maniacal and dangerous villains to ever be born. Rez’s true origins are a mystery; while some claim that he is actually the father of the hero of his story, Gex, this is likely just a bad reference to Star Wars and more than likely false. All that can
