Top 10 Good Guys Turned Bad in Video Games

The Top Ten
1 Claus - Mother 3

You sure about that? Claus wasn't a bad guy; he was a mindless corpse that came to his senses and killed himself to meet his mother.

2 Dickson - Xenoblade Chronicles
3 Handsome Jack - Borderlands 2 Handsome Jack is the main antagonist of both Borderlands 2 and Tales from the Borderlands and the deuteragonist of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
4 Wheatley - Portal 2

I loved him in the beginning of the game, and I still loved him when I finished the game. The twist of him betraying you is totally unexpected. Though, I wouldn't really say he is evil. He is just misunderstood. With him being an intelligence dampening sphere, you can't really blame him. He really only wanted to stay in control of the entire Aperture facility, and he tries to kill you and GLaDOS because of us trying to take that away from him. He is more of a naive wacko in my opinion. But anyways, I love this guy! He is funny, bold, and has a very formal and enthusiastic personality. He deserves to keep his spot at #4.

5 Asriel Dreemurr - Undertale

Well, that depends. Asriel started as Flowey in the beginning of the game, so he basically started out as an evil psychopath. However, if we go back before the start of the game, we meet Asriel Dreemurr as a kid. Asriel was very kind. He took care of Chara and treated him/her like family. He sacrificed his life for a bunch of humans that were killing him, and he purely had determination. Throughout time, being a soulless flower made him question life because he could not feel love, so he grew to want nothing but power to reset everything. Asriel has a very interesting and complicated character arc. Put him up higher on this list.

6 Magolor - Kirby's Return To Dream Land Magolor is a fictional character from the Kirby series of video games owned by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory.

Magolor was always a villian, he was just pretending to be good.

7 Dr. Andonuts - Radiation's Earthbound Halloween Hack
8 Id - Xenogears
9 Rundas - Metroid Prime 3
10 Cranky Kong - Donkey Kong Country
The Contenders
11 Turbo - Wreck-It Ralph

I came from the game, TurboTime, so count me in as a videogame character.

12 Marx - Kirby Super Star

He was never on your side to begin with. The sick bastard.

13 Genocide Frisk - Undertale

Frisk starts neutral by killing and sparing monsters. Then comes Frisk being a merciful and kind hero to everyone in the underground in the pacifist run. However, after that comes Frisk's unexpected turn. Frisk then becomes a cold hearted murderer caring about nobody other than him/her self in the genocide run. Remember, Frisk can be neutral, good, or bad. The choice is all yours. Are you going to press mercy or fight?

14 Dark Samus - Metroid Prime
15 SA-X - Metroid Fusion
16 Dark Link - Legend Of Zelda
17 Shadow - Sonic The Hedgehog
18 Reaper - Overwatch Reaper is a playable character appearing in the 2016 video game Overwatch, a first-person shooter video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment.
