10 Video Game “Heroes” You Really Shouldn’t Be Rooting For

3. Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes)

Travis Touchdown has no problem decimating everyone he comes into contact with –which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem – but his motivations aren’t exactly noble. Instead, Travis is promised sex with a complete stranger on the condition that he defeats the nine deadliest assassins in the world, which he considers an appropriate incentive.

Travis is completely endearing despite his various shortcomings. He’s knowledgeable, uncomfortable about committing violence against woman – even trained assassins – and demonstrates the upmost respect towards “true warriors”. That said, the character is completely self-obsessed and hypocritical – cheating in combat to gain the advantage – despite his claims to be honourable, slicing apart countless opponents just to get laid.

He’s narcissistic, compulsive and apathetic towards his excessive use of violence to accomplish his own ends.
