10 Famous Gaming 'Heroes' You Didn't Realise Were Villains

2. Crash Bandicoot

Game: Crash Bandicoot Crime: Mass genocide When we meet Crash Bandicoot in the first game in the series, he's just escaped a lab in the middle of a desert island. As is quickly made apparent, it seems that Dr Neo Cortex was wise in keeping his insane creation locked away. In an effort to rescue his 'girlfriend', Crash journeys through a multitude of different environments across the island. Along the way, he encounters a number of innocent critters, from silly monkeys to harmless skunks. Which he proceeds to murder violently. Whether a sleeping tortoise is blocking his way or he needs to jump on cute penguin (crushing its skull in the process) in order to reach an apple, Crash Bandicoot shows no remorse as he spins and stomps his way through the game.
