10 Best Video Game Villains Of The Decade

10. Jack Baker (Resident Evil 7)

Some men are born evil, some are made. And Jack Baker definitely fits into the latter category.

You wouldn't expect a Japanese company like Capcom to so fundamentally understand a thoroughly American horror from which Resident Evil 7 stems. And yet RE7 is one of the best entries in the entire series. And a lot of that comes down to its villains, the Baker Family. In particular, the patriarch of the household, Jack.

It's kinda hard to feel sorry for Jack when you first arrive, seeing as how he's seemingly kidnapped your wife and is now holding you hostage on his psycho death-zombie happy funtime farm. But the deeper you go into the lore behind the Baker house, the more you come to realize that this is just an after effect of the greater horror at play.

Long story short, the Bakers were a normal family, until Jack found a woman lying on the side of the road. It wasn't until he took her in to get her out of the rain, however, that he realized that the woman was an experimental bioweapon that proceeds to experimental bioweapon all over them. Taking these otherwise good innocent people and warping them into horrific shells filled with slime, hatred, and whatever that black gunk is.

Threatening, memorable and tragic, Jack Baker is the perfect start to our list of villains.
