7 Video Game Villains Who Were The Hero All Along

School is hard, there's no doubt about that.

You gotta deal with homework, stern teachers, and of course bullies, and if I've learned anything about bullies from 1980's US films, kids up and down the country are being called "dweebs" being pushed into bins and being told that "you're dead meat" which sounds just awful. However, things could be worse as Dodgeball Academia proves when it gives those who attempt to bully our hero Otto, the ability to throw literal balls of electric, poison, and solid ice at your head.

And while there are several contenders to the throne, the biggest and the baddest is Boris, a kid who looks like he's about ten years too old for the class he's in, and about as many years more skilled in combat than his other students. Across your journey, he'll appear to mock berate and sometimes blast you into base elements with his dodgeball skills. He even destroyed the principles car by throwing it onto the roof just for a bit of a laugh.

However, despite his tough exterior, it turns out that Boris is key to one of the most heartfelt and honest moments of the entire again, as he reveals to the frustrated and angry Niko who is trying to force his powers to emerge in order to become the best dodgeball player at any cost, that he himself was born without latent powers that the rest of the class takes for granted. Boris only got to the top because he trained, he was patient, and because he believed in himself, which immediately shattered his tough guy persona and reveals a young man who had to grow up without parents and who looks after his sister, protecting her from everything at the expense of him being hardened to the rest of the world.

And he apologizes for being mean after confronting this revelation!

In short, he's an absolute legend.
