Sure, living things are cute. Puppies, kittens, select grandmothers etc. But it takes something really special to remain adorable even after being violently murdered and reanimated as a shambling undead monstrosity.

Like Batman, Captain America has no superhuman powers. He can’t fly, he can’t stick to walls, he can’t run at the speed of sound. But it’s these limitations that make him so fun to root for; he’s constantly up against world-ending villains yet (like the Dark Knight) he can use superior fighting ability and brilliant tactics to stop evil dead in its tracks.

Normally, we’ve got no problem with video game villians. Sure, they nick our bustiest wenches, salute digital democracy with a middle finger, and are inconsiderate enough to make us waste valuable bullets shooting them during a recession. Thing is, they’re always upfront about being assholes, which makes the shit they pull almost endearingly evil. What really gets on our teets, though, are those deceitful dastards who pretend to
