10 Most Powerful Video Game Characters Ever
9. Galen Marek (Starkiller) - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
I said no crossovers from other mediums in the intro, and I meant it. But Galen Marek aka Starkiller, was first created to bridge the gap between Star Wars Episodes III and IV.
In canon as Darth Vader's protégé, he was found on Kashyyyk after Darth Vader dropped by to force-throw some Wookies through the walls of their homes.
Of course, Vader senses a great amount of latent power inside Galen, and over time, nurtures it so he do things we'd never seen in Star Wars history.
Tearing TIE Fighters from their housing to throw at stormtroopers, wrenching entire platoons off their feet and sending them soaring over the horizon - there's even a scene where Starkiller grabs a Star Destroyer out of space, and wrenches it to the ground.
Sadly, Starkiller was done VERY dirty in the game's cobbled together sequel, which buried the character long before Disney wiped him out altogether and reused his name for the new trilogy's moon base.
Still, we had some great times.
