7 Good Guys Who Became Bad Guys, Much Cooler

Take Ryu from Street Fighter, for example. In the early days of the Street Fighter series, if you picked Ryu in Street Fighter you’d face more boos than Mario in a ghost house because, let’s face it, Ryu is boring.
Ryu was the vanilla option, the safe choice. Pretty balanced, with easy moves, he’s a karate man who does karate, in his karate suit. They may as well have called him Karate.
In a game with teleporting yogis, flamenco dancing wolverine bullfighters and Russian bear wrestlers, you’ve got to work harder than that to stand out.
That all changed from Street Fighter Alpha 2 onwards, however, when we finally got to see Ryu’s dark side. That’s when we were introduced to Evil Ryu: a variation of the character possessed by the satsui no hado, the evil force that lets Akuma do all his awesome Akuma stuff.
In this form, Ryu has glowing red eyes, fangs, a red aura around his body and, more recently, an awesome glowing hole in his chest. Evil Ryu can even do the Raging Demon, aka the coolest Ultra Combo in the whole Street Fighter series.
Say what you like about Evil Ryu, you can’t say that he’s boring. Also: if you did, he'd mess you up.

"Skulls are like the universal sign of cursed. Or pirates or whatever" - Jane, as she wears a shirt covered in Boos.

Jane: "It's always the quiet ones" Guys she's trying to tell us Ellen is really the evil one!
-
"He's still exactly as smug and punch-able, only now you have an actual reason for wanting to punch him." Does a rocket to the face count as a punch?
-
Never played any Halo game, finally understood why the Windows 10 assitant is called Cortana.
-
8. Jane- She just is evil. 9. Andy- The quiet ones always get you. 10- Mike- He loves explosions too much.
-
Victor Fries was a decent scientist who loved his wife. Then hijinks ensued and he became much cooler. The end.
-
"A karate man who does karate and his karate suit might as well call him karate" that had me dead😂😂😂
-
“No...the Satsui no Hado...it’s consuming me...!!!” “YES!! The dark Satsui no Hado, it’s consuming you!!!” Love that line, Andy!!

How about Preston Garvey? He joined the Minutemen with the noble intention of saving post-apocalyptic Boston, but now he just tortures the Sole Survivor with an endless amount of grueling settlement quests.

Starkiller from Force Unleashed learns the value of friendship and mercy, forging the way for the rebellion that would one day take down the empire... OR, you can forget all the lessons the game was hammering into your head for the last few hours and stay with the dark side to get one of the coolest outfits in video game history, the Sith Stalker Armor! All it cost you was the lives of all your friends, the fate of billions of oppressed peoples everywhere, and one of your very own arms, but just look at that rad helmet!

"I would rather they die in comfort." aggressive gunshot

It was nice reading the warcraft novels. All the nostalgia back when I was a kid just feels comfortable. Arthas' rise, fall, and ultimate rise in Rise of the Lich King was one of my favorites.
-
You guys should make a video about 7 bad characters who turned good, and lost their cool clothes or something.
-
Side note: although rubbish, Shazam is actually a 14 year old kid, Billy Batson. Superman has done plenty in the Injustice universe, but that was quite disturbing. Anyway, great video as always!
-
Regime Superman has good reason to regulate crime, but when Lex Luthor calls him out on it, he kills him and then the twelve year old. I had enough of his cruelty at that point, so when the real Superman came in and kicked his clone's ass, I had cheered.
-
At least Alfred managed to beat the hell out of superman
-
Um, Shazam is LITERALLY A KID, what the hell superman!
-
Cortana turning evil still hurts. Thanks for opening that old wound.
-
"Regular Ryu." .... That sounds like something that could be key component of an insult or a few.. "That's so RR" , "You're such an RR" ...

Why isnt Barnacle Boy on this list?
