10 Video Games Heroes That Act More Evil Than The Villain

10. Rico Rodriguez - Just Cause 3

The Just Cause series is a chaotic adrenaline rush of non-stop action, explosions, and stunts that put even the Fast and Furious franchise to shame (and those guys put a Pontiac in space)!

The utter insanity is in no small part the doing of the franchise's protagonist, Rico Rodriguez, who, despite acting as a guerrilla revolutionary against the world's dictators, is easily more dangerous than all of them combined.

You might say that stunts like strapping civilians to rockets or driving planes into important government buildings are done by the player, but according to lore, all the unhinged and sadistic things you do in the game are exactly the type of stuff Rico would do in order to "liberate" people from tyrants.

He is completely unapologetic in his war against dictatorships, which is why he has hundreds of civilian casualties on his conscience wherever he travels. The only important thing to him is seeing his goal see the light of day, and no moral quandaries will ever get in his way.

The people he fights are obviously terrible despots, but seeing how many places Rico leaves in ruin, you have to wonder if their regimes can actually match Rico's casualty rates in each game.
