Most people know Triple H as one of the greatest heels of the modern era, and that reputation is justified. However, looking at 'The Game's history, it’s clear he’s not above flip-flopping on his alignment.

Debuting in 1995, Hunter Hearst Helmsley was a heel, through and through. Though his character eventually evolved from a Connecticut aristocrat to an edgy teen who joked about his penis, he still made it his mission to be as utterly hateable as possible.

Still, by 1998, when Triple H became the leader of D-Generation X, fans were so smitten with the group’s raunchy antics, they were turned face by default in their feud against the Nation of Domination. DX remained one of the most over face acts throughout ‘98 and ‘99 until Triple H’s turn at WrestleMania XV, when he joined Vince McMahon’s corporation.

While briefly flirting with the light as a tweener in 2000, Hunter remained one of the company’s top heels until 2001, when an injury took him out for months. He returned in 2002 as a face, won the world title, and then months later, turned on his buddy Shawn Michaels, becoming once-again the top heel in the company. Then, in 2006, thanks to a reunited DX, Helmsley turned face once-again and remained as such for a baffling seven years, before finally returning to his destined role of evil mastermind at SummerSlam 2013.

If 'The Game' were Dungeons and Dragons, Hunter would drive his dungeon master crazy with how noncommittal he is to alignments.
