Red Fury: 6 Most Evil Gingers From Gaming History

1. Bowser/King Koopa

Proof, if ever it were needed that giant, muzzled turtle-like mutants can also be afflicted with the ginger gene, it feels like Bowser and his children have been around as long as console gaming has been, having made his debut back with Super Mario Bros. Since then, his combat style has evolved somewhat - having given up on standing just in front of the switch that makes the floor he stands on retract long ago. Bowser's resilience is arguably his greatest feature, having never given up on his conquest of the Earth, despite the many failed attempts, or on his attempt to woo Princess Daisy despite her obvious lack of interest. But he isn't just a try-hard, and his fondness for castles and airships are straight out of the Evil Doers Handbook. What exactly did he ever have planned for Princess Daisy? And consider this, he has children who all look strangely alike, implying that they were all sired to one lucky turtle-Demon. So Bowser may even have been married while trying to capture Daisy, despite some games having him intent on marrying her. Bigamy is no laughing matter, even in a world where we're supposed to believe the greatest hero is an Italian plumber who never takes on plumbing jobs. Evil
