Marcus Fenix (Gears of War)
Marcus Fenix was never meant to be a good-looking guy, but Epic Games may have done its job a little too well. Seriously though, look at all those scars - both physical and emotional. He's lost so much in these endless wars. Hopefully he loses that awful soul patch next.
Beautiful on the inside
Woo! I could keep going all day. But I won't - because I want you folks to have something to talk about in the comments! It's definitely not because I ran out of ideas and was kind of stretching on that Greendog one. Definitely not. Anyway, who are some of your favorite ugly characters?

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
