10 Jaw-Dropping Masked Villain Reveals In Video Games

10. Deathstroke - Batman: Arkham Origins (2013)

In contrast to the others on this list, the unmasking of Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke, doesn't really have any impact on the story of Batman: Arkham Origins. But you've got to admit that it's a pretty darn cool moment.

Of the eight assassins that Black Mask's bounty on Batman lures to Gotham, Deathstroke is clearly the most evenly matched fighter when squared up against the Dark Knight. Though his role in the game isn't all that big, his boss fight easily stands as one of the best in the entire Arkham series - despite a bit of sneaky recycling from Arkham City's Ra's al Ghul boss battle.

Halfway through the fight, after fending off a massive volley of sword strikes, Batman jumps up and slams his fist down on the mercenary's one-eyed mask, knocking it straight off and exposing a very comics-faithful interpretation of the ageing Slade.

It doesn't affect the gameplay in any way. But the growl that Slade lets out when his face is revealed really gives you a sense of how insulted he is to have been unmasked by such a worthy opponent.
