T-00 – or Mr.X to his friends – is a bioweapon that chases the player throughout the second story mode of Resident Evil 2, where he shows up at inconvenient times to harass you and be a general nuisance. He’s pretty much the prototype for the Nemesis in part three, and while he may not be as dangerous you can’t fault him for a lack of effort.

He’s first seen being dropped by helicopter into the police station, and the player has to steel themselves to face whatever the hell he is. After a tense encounter, he’s put down by a generous helping of bullets, only for a cutscene to reveal his resurrection when the player exits the room.

Things were tense enough without this git chasing you everywhere, but he’s a special part of what makes the second game work so well.
