Ryu
Ryu is perhaps the most popular character in fighting games. Orphaned as a child, this silent yet fierce fighter is focused in becoming the strongest martial artist in the world. If you have played Street Fighters, surely you must have tried to imitate Ryu’s famous skills – Shoryuken and Hadouken.

Trevor Philips
Trevor Philips from GTA is perhaps the most controversial character in the list. A murderer with psychopathic tendencies, why is he so popular? There is some level of realism in his character that gives us a window into the mind of killer. Let’s just hope the curiosity is limited to the game!
Mario
Mario has surpassed the gaming arena and become an icon of pop culture. A character that has been revived so many times, in so many different series, this is one plumber that never seems to age.
Kratos
Kratos is one vengeful demigod that is far too complicated to figure out. He is an anti-hero that you can’t quite decide on whether to hate or to empathize with. However, his presence is undeniable and his capability for destruction makes him a force in gaming to be reckoned with.
Scorpion
Scorpion does not care whose side he is on, as long as his purpose is served. This personality trait makes him very intriguing. He can vengeful and merciless at times, but also shows characteristics of being an honorable warrior. Let’s just say, he is unpredictable and his ability to spit fire and shoot a chain hook makes him incredibly fun to play.
Master Chief
Have you ever wondered what’s behind that helmet? Nobody knows, but the green armored war veteran of the Halo series has an unmistakable look that you can instantly recognize. John-117, generally referred to as Master Chief, is man of few words. However, he plays a vital role in the Human’s resistance against the Covenant.
Lara Croft
She is smart, she’s got the looks and she kicks ass. Lara Croft is considered as a sex symbol for video games. This is just an opinion, but the game version of Lara Croft is way sexier than the Angelina Jolie version in the Tomb Raider movies.
