10 Video Game Villains That Switched Sides In The Sequel
3. Captain Qwark - Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Captain Qwark is one of the most hilarious video game antagonists ever, for despite his larger-than-life, superheroic stylings, in the first two games he's actually an egomaniacal coward, making several attempts to get Ratchet and Clank killed when they interfere with his business dealings.
However in the third game Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Qwark is decidedly more reflective of his villainous past, and teams up with the titular duo to help take down Dr. Nefarious.
To be clear, Qwark is still a natural coward whenever things get too scary, but his heart is at least in the right place most of the time, and in Up Your Arsenal he's even directly responsible for both Ratchet and Clank's survival and Dr. Nefarious' defeat.
