Jack Thompson - as seen in our nightmares
This lawyer means to destroy videogames, blaming them for the ills of the world. In our book, there’s no greater villain than that.
JC Denton - as seen in Deus Ex: Invisible War
Invisible War’s treatment of the first game’s hero is fascinating. Depending on how you, personally, feel about capitalism, anarchy, liberty and all that jazz, the reborn JC is either a world-liberating hero or a wrong-headed insane guy who must be destroyed before he takes the planet down with him. His messianic persona in DX2 was somewhat off-key from how we remembered him in DX1, but he was a hard as nails fight if you did decide his way was the wrong one.
