20 Toughest Video Game Characters Of All Time

17. Captain John Price

First Appearance: Call of Duty (2003) Captain John Price is one of the Call of Duty series' recurring characters. Though he is known as being a goofy leader he is very capable of getting serious to deal with a suitably perilous situation. He has been caught in a tanker truck explosion, imprisoned in a Russian prison camp by Makarov and his terrorist group, thrown like a ragdoll down a waterfall, survived the inferno of a helicopter crash and has been bitten by more enemy bullets then any British soldier in recorded history. You would be right for thinking that his countless displays of valour in the Modern Warfare series are enough to warrant John Price€™s place on this list. However, his achievements don€™t stop there. Price was also one of the key soldiers smiting down Nazis with his Lee-Enfield rifle in the original Call of Duty games, set during World War II. Risking life and limb in a global conflict is incredible display of toughness in its own right, but fighting in two World Wars and somehow overcoming the wear and tear of old age certainly makes you one of the toughest guys going. Infinity Ward tried to make a bogus excuse that the John Price of the original games is the grandfather of the one we see in Modern Warfare but we won't believe it: the unaging super-soldier that is John Price cannot be rubbed out.
