10 Video Game Heroes Who Accidentally Made Their Own Villains

10. Nick Ramos - Dead Rising 3

It seems like most of the boss fights in the Dead Rising series happen because the main characters act too nonchalant around disturbed killers and would rather wait around and aggravate them instead of taking them out while they're distracted, or, you know, just walking away.

However, there is only one Dead Rising protagonist that is directly responsible for turning one of their own friends into a crazed maniac, and that person is Nick Ramos from Dead Rising 3.

You see, the psychopaths in Dead Rising 3 are based off the seven deadly sins, and envy is personified by Nick's number one fan, Kenny, who idolizes him so much that he decides to replicate what Nick does by dressing up as him and then kidnapping a woman to stage a "rescue."

When Nick comes to intervene, Kenny lashes out at him, believing that Nick considers himself to be better than him, and then you have to defeat the obsessed fan to make him come back to his senses.

The fight and the preceding cutscene are a fun subversion of expectations, but you have to admit, Nick kind of had it coming, seeing how dismissive and somewhat patronizing he acted towards his friend.
