4. Michael Jackson (Various Titles)
The King of Pop has always been a magnet for controversy especially in video games. Throughout his career, Mr. Jackson has starred in several video games including his very own called Moon Walker for Sega Mega Drive. Though Michael Jackson hasn't done anything controversial in the virtual world, he has generated controversy in the real world over questionable matters including his odd changes in appearance, accusations of committing pedophilia, and his own death from a drug overdose. Given how rough Mr. Jackson's life was, it's no question how his innocent appearance in video games can still seem controversial. It's not all your fault Michael. The gamers who distrust you are also to blame.
