50 Video Game Characters: 18

"Okay...the key to surviving situations like this is to avoid phrases like, 'it's too quiet in here' or 'everything's going to be alright'."



18. Captain Qwark (Ratchet and Clank)

There is an old saying, "There's no such thing as bad publicity." Captain Qwark is the living embodiment of that. Qwark will do anything for cash and fame, even if it means siding with the forces of evil.

But of course, beneath the machismo and feats of daring do that he does, is a coward. A wolf in hero's clothing. Well, not really a wolf, per se. While Qwark is a deluded, selfish butt, he's just trying to save himself. By any means necessary.

Qwark does eventually come to terms with his cowardice and, while he's still a big dumb weenie, he realizes he should at least side with the good guys instead of trying to save his hide with baddies. For being a big dumb moron in green spandex, Qwark isn't a bad guy, really. He's just careful. And dumb. Really, really dumb.

Best moment: His myraid of uninspired disguises, most famously Steve McQwark, which is just a fake moustache.
