Lee is awesome! It was so sad that he died at the end! I wanted to see more of him! Kenny is my favorite character, but Lee is still so cool! He went total crazy awesome on his way to the marsh house and protects Clem like his daughter! He is so nice, yet still will kill. I just wish I could know more about his past. He should have made an effort to reveal it. But him being mysterious makes him great too! Rest in peace, Lee Everett!

One of my favorite black characters, probably the best in the horror genre since they love killing us off quickly.

Kenny you racist sick crazy man...

(Next game)

Oh hey Kenny gr (notices Kenny's beard) oh Hey Kenny missed you so much!

2 Carl "CJ" Johnson - Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

I always thought black characters were boring, but this dude legit is my most favorite character.

Emotional story he tells, betrayal by friends he thought he could trust.

3 Iris - Pokemon Black and White
4 Cyrax - Mortal Kombat Cyrax is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series, who made his debut in Mortal Kombat 3.
5 Armor King - Tekken
6 Jax Briggs - Mortal Kombat

Jax is not the best character in Mortal Kombat but he is an interesting one. He got his arms ripped off and survived the blood loss before acquiring cybernetic arms. I still wonder where he got them

7 Barret Wallace - Final Fantasy VII

Barret kicks ass!

8 Raven - Tekken
9 Elena - Street Fighter III
10 Jade - Mortal Kombat Jade is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series by Midway Games. Debuting in 1993's Mortal Kombat II as an unplayable secret character who was a green palette swap of Kitana, Jade made her first playable appearance in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. She has since become a regular supporting character in the franchise, appearing on series merchandise in addition to alternate Mortal Kombat media, such as comic books and the feature film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

My all time fave although I don't know why you used that whitewashed render of her...

Jade is not Asian, her face model is a biracial black woman. Byee

Jade is Asian, not black...

The Contenders
11 Zasalamel - Soul Calibur III
12 Dhalsim - Street Fighter Dhalsim is a video game character in Capcom's Street Fighter series. He made his first appearance in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior in 1991. In the series, he is a yogi, a husband, a father, and a pacifist who goes against his beliefs by entering the World Warrior tournament to raise money for his village.

But he's Hindu, not black!

13 Ryder - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
14 La Mariposa/ Lisa Hamilton - Dead or Alive
15 Shadow The Hedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog is a character who appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega. He is an artificially created black and red hedgehog whose hover shoes propel him at extreme speeds that rival those of Sonic.

He must be number 1 what

He should be higher

16 Franklin Clinton - Grand Theft Auto V Franklin Clinton is one of the three protagonists in Grand Theft Auto V, along with Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips.

Emotional, GANGSTA, son of CJ, Good taste in cars, Badass friends and... Chop chop

17 Avery Johnson - Halo

Sergeant Johnson is awesome! Favorite Marine that was in any Halo game! It's just so sad that he had to get killed by the monitor in halo 3. That stupid monitor! Rest in peace, Avery Johnson!

He's funny, charismatic, saw the beginning and end of the human covenant war. And he's friends with master chief ( the best video game character ever. )

18 Sheva Alamore - Resident Evil 5

Sheva is so dumb.

19 Black Yoshi - Yoshi's Story Black Yoshi is a deuteragonist of SuperMarioLogan. He is a stereotypical black gangster and one of Mario's friends.

It sucks that he has to die to save Mario

20 Demoman - Team Fortress 2

Oh, looks like they'll have to glue YOU back together too! IN HELL!

"Ai love the conga! "

21 Sans - Undertale Sans or Sans the Skeleton is a character in the 2015 RPG Undertale created by Toby Fox. He is a lazy, pun-loving skeleton who is a supporting protagonist in the "pacifist" and "neutral" routes of Undertale, and a heroic antagonist/final boss of the "genocide" route. He is known for his incredibly difficult boss fight, bad puns, and the phrases "geeetttt dunked on!!!" and "you're gonna have a bad time." He is also named after the font "comic sans." Known for also being Ness from the Mother series. (known as Earthbound in Western territories.)

I didn't know he was black. I just thought he was just a talking skeleton.

22 Jeffry Mcwild - Virtua Fighter
23 Mike Tyson - Punch Out!

If there was ever a living definition of the "Scary Black Man" trope, it would definitely have to be this.

24 Emile - Halo Reach

Emile isn't black! Jorge is!

25 JTG - WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008
