10 More Video Game Villains Hiding In Plain Sight
4. G-Man - Half-Life
The G-Man is the overarching villain of the Half-Life series and is infamous for his inter-dimensional abilities and dapper array of suits. He is best known for his more high-brow appearances in Half-Life 2.
However, what some players might not have realised playing the series the first time around was that his influence was introduced much earlier than that.
In the OG Half-Life, eagle-eyed players may be able to spot a strange sticky man in a suit appearing in random spots throughout the game. Some of these cameos are so quick a blink of an eye may mean they miss them, but he's always there.
Few people at the time could have realised how big of a role this man would go on to play, and even today there are plenty of players who either miss G-Man's hidden cameos or fail to realise who it is they're seeing. Nevertheless, it goes to show how far back G-Man's influence stretches and the extent of his omniscience.
