10 Video Games Where The Villain Had Better Abilities

2. Nadine Ross - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4 introduced fans to one of the series' most badass characters yet in Nadine Ross - a ruthless treasure hunter who crosses paths with Nathan Drake and company numerous times throughout the story.

And from the first time Nadine throws down with Nate, it's made incredibly clear that he's no match for her. Nadine is a martial arts expert and puts her skills to good use sending Nate to school, easily dodging his moves and kicking his ass.

But the truly impressive display of Nadine's power comes much later in the game, when Nate and his brother Sam team up to take her on.

Even so, Nadine still has control for the vast majority of the encounter, using her incredible situational awareness to deliver a dual-smackdown to the brothers, and basically proving more capable than both combined.

It's only when Nate sneaks away from the fight and attacks Nadine from above that they manage to gain anything close to an advantage, but it's left plainly clear that Nadine is faster, stronger, and just a better combatant in every possible way.

In fact, Nadine's such an adept fighter that this is probably why she wasn't playable in spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, because she'd just be comically overpowered.
